Scott Petty22nd February 2025John 8-12 Series

Ever woke up in the middle of the night & rather than turning on the light, you tried to navigate in the dark due to familiarity with your surroundings? How'd that work out? Today, we see Jesus turn the lights on for someone who knew they were blind and keep the lights off for those who were confident in their blindness. Much to learn & apply from these pages of Scripture this morning!

Who Do You Say That I Am: I Am the Light of the World

Today's sermon out of John 9:13-41 calls us to look at what we are about. Are we about religious behaviour? Are we overly concerned about what others might think of us? Or are we bold enough to admit we need help, healing, and the offer of salvation by way of Jesus? Preacher: Jer Adrian

3 John 9-10 Michael Lawrence February 15, 2026

What do we see when we encounter suffering, brokenness, or Jesus himself? One of our beloved mission partners in Edinburgh, Scotland, Caleb Shocklie, takes us on an exploration of John 9 invites us into the transformative moment when Jesus heals a man born blind—but it's about so much more than physical sight. We're challenged to examine four distinct perspectives: the blind man who must choose faith over familiarity, the disciples who seek someone to blame, the Pharisees who miss God's work because it doesn't match their expectations, and Jesus who sees opportunities for restoration everywhere. The blind man's journey from darkness to light mirrors our own spiritual awakening—he had to trust Jesus' strange instructions, go to the pool of Siloam, and wash away more than just mud. When we encounter Christ, everything changes: our priorities shift, our worldview transforms, and suddenly the comfortable life we knew feels like blindness compared to the abundant life He offers. The man lost everything when religious leaders cast him out, yet he gained infinitely more in knowing Jesus. This passage confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: we often live spiritually blind, settling for temporary satisfaction from money, power, or relationships, failing to see that only Christ offers lasting hope. The question echoes through our lives today—will we wipe away the mud and stay in comfortable darkness, or will we trust Jesus enough to step into the light, even when it costs us everything we thought we needed?

We stream live from our Fellowship Hall.  This weekend (2/15), we follow Jesus into yet another encounter. He meets a man who is born blind; Jesus heals his blindness by spitting on the ground and making mud to cover his eyes. The story provokes so many questions—about healing, trust, ability and disability, and about what it means to “see.”Our guest preacher is Avery Arden (they/ze, MDiv) an autistic, genderqueer, leftist minister who lives in Atlanta with their wife and two cats. Most of Avery's ministry takes place online, and includes a multifaith podcast of transgender stories; affirming liturgy and workshops; and a Disabled AND Blessed YouTube series. Avery is a board member of More Light Presbyterians.

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, February 15. 2026 With spiritual sight we receive Jesus as Savior, and with spiritual blindness we reject Jesus as Savior. Pastor Steve explores the mystery of blindness that sees and sight that blinds in John 9:35-41. From this passage we find the unique features of spiritual sight and spiritual blindness reveal one possible response to Jesus. Worship music permitted under CCLI License #264436.

Every one of us gets to respond– either we come into the light and finally see... or we turn away and call our darkness light.

This week we're reading the rich and challenging story of Jesus healing a man blind from birth, as told in John 9:1-41. The story begins by rejecting the common theology that suffering is a result of sin, insisting instead that this man coming to see is to be a revelation of the glory of God. Yet by the end of the story, we discover not only that this blind man has recovered his sight but also that the establishment religious leaders, who have thought themselves sighted, have in fact been blind all along. We reflect on the importance of telling one's own truth clearly and of not reducing it to what is acceptable, whether theologically or politically. And we wrestle with the tendency of establishment people, in this text and in our own world, to  expel people from our communities rather than listen to what their experiences could teach us. Those who refuse to see will indeed remain blind, but if we open our eyes, it is yet still possible to live in the light.

Sight/blind, night/day, dark/light. The Gospel of John continues and Greg, Rose, and Damen are here to discuss the man who used to be blind!

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, February 8, 2026 In John 9:12-34, the Pharisees are schooled by a blind beggar whose physical and spiritual eyes were opened by Jesus. In this passage, the Pharisees were investigating Jesus's miracle, not to see if He was a good guy, but to try and prove He was a bad guy. Pastor Steve's message explores three phases of this investigation that reveal the marks of unbelief and the marvel of awakening faith. Worship music permitted under CCLI License #264436.

When things go wrong in our life, we can sometimes be prone to ask, “Is God punishing me?” The short answer is “probably not.” God

Dr. Doug Elrick :: Creekside Church :: unday, February 1, 2026 "And then I could see." The story of the man born blind that Jesus healed in John 9:1-12 shows us that blindness is everyone's problem in one way or another. Doug Elrick's message from this passage is an invitation for unbelievers to accept the eye-opening call of Jesus, the Light of World, and a challenge for believers to open their eyes to God's perspective, seeing other people the way God sees them. Doug's message follows a brief prayer for our team destined for Haiti. Worship music permitted under CCLI License #264436.

“Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” The disciples look for a cause, but Jesus looks for a purpose: “that the works of God might be displayed in him.” In this episode of The Magnificent 37, we study the healing of the man born blind. This narrative is as much about spiritual sight as physical healing; as the man's vision becomes clearer and his confession bolder, the Pharisees plunge deeper into the darkness of unbelief, proving that the worst blindness is the refusal to see Jesus as the Light of the World.   The Rev. Jim Daub, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Havelock, NC, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study John 9:1–41.  To learn more about St. Paul Lutheran, visit stpaulhavelock.com. Thy Strong Word kicks off the new year by dedicating our time to study "The Magnificent 37: The Miracles of Jesus." Christ didn't just speak the Word; He demonstrated it with power. From the quiet intimacy of water turning to wine at Cana to the earth-shaking reality of the empty tomb, the Gospels record thirty-seven distinct moments where Jesus suspended the laws of nature to reveal the power of his grace. This isn't just a list of "neat tricks" from history. It is a systematic walkthrough of how God breaks into our broken world to fix it. Why did Jesus curse a fig tree? Why did He need mud to heal a blind man? What does the coin in the fish's mouth teach us about being citizens of heaven and earth?  Host, Pastor Phil Booe and a lineup of guest pastors will take you through each event, verse by verse. We'll move past the Sunday School summary and get into the meat of the text, including the Old Testament connections, the cultural context, and the immediate comfort these signs bring to your life today.   Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

In John 9 and 10, Jesus opens blind eyes and reveals Himself as the Good Shepherd. He moves people from blindness to belonging and declares that His sheep hear His voice. In this message Pastor Andrew Fish invites us to examine what we truly see, whose voice we trust, and how life is found by following the One who knows us and leads us into pasture.

In video 15 of our series in John's Gospel, we discuss Jesus's claim to be the good shepherd. He knows His sheep and lays down His life for them.

john 9

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we're doing something a little bit different. This week, we're gonna go through John chapter 9, the passage Alex preached last Sunday. And I'm gonna talk to him about how in the world he studied this text. How does he approach a new passage? How did he work through the difficult parts of this passage and come to the conclusions that he came to? And maybe you can learn a little bit about how to study the scriptures for yourself and engage with difficult things in the passage. So, we end on this beautiful note that you'll have to find out about in this episode. Let's dive right in.

I Was Blind, Now I See- 30-Day Gospel Reading Challenge - Day 12 (John 9) by Shawn Ozbun

John 9 : 1 - 38, One Thing I Know, Rick Breucsh by Arbor Dale Church

God calls the blind to envision teh Light of the World (Jn 9:5) then to illuminate others (Mt 5:14-15).

Thanks for watching! This sermon was preached by Dave Cook at Calvary Baptist Church on 1/11/2026 as part of our Gospel of John sermon series. We'd love to have you join us in person or learn more about who we are.

John 9 opens with a question about blame, but Jesus quickly redirects the focus toward what God is doing. In this sermon, we reflect on the healing of a man born blind and the deeper invitation Jesus offers to see differently. As the man's understanding grows and the religious leaders cling to certainty, we're invited to examine our own spiritual sight and consider where we may have stopped growing. As the story unfolds, this message invites us into humility, curiosity, and trust, reminding us that true sight often begins when we admit we don't see clearly yet and allow Jesus to lead us forward.

Every local church occasionally has a Diotrephes, even as we pray for more Demetriuses and Gaiuses. How should we handle the former, while seeking to be the latter? This is where we pay close attention to 3 John, particularly in v11: “do not imitate what is evil, but what is good.” Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/preach-the-word/id1449859151?mt=2 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aSveQvIs7SPHWB4UcmSUQ

Kevin Anderson speaks from 3 John on biblical authority and the dangers of pride.

Sermon by David Rountree on January 11, 2026 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC. Scripture Passage: John 9:1-41 Outline: 1. All are inadequate (Rom. 3:23) 2. All are image-bearters of God (Gen. 1:26) 3. All are intentionally mad (Ps. 139: 6, 13, 14, 16) 4. All should find hope in Christ (Rom. 9:14-26) ncchurch.net

Guest Speaker Pastor Rob Pochek (MBC Team Leader for Prayer & Evangelism) brought a powerful message reminding us that every Christian has a story, and God intends to use it.   From John 9 and the healing of the man born blind, we learn that Jesus is on a mission to bring people to belief — and one of the greatest tools He gives us is our own testimony. If you love Jesus, you can talk about Him. Sharing your story joins Jesus in His mission.  

Jesus heals a man born blind! Come Bible Study WITH ME through John 9 and ask all the questions!

In this episode, Ronn and Mike look at John 9, reading through the extended story of the man born blind who is healed by Jesus. They discuss the significance of some of the interesting details of the story, including why Jesus patched the man's eyes with spittle, and why he had the man go a half-mile away to wash in the Pool of Siloam. Ronn recommended that the use of "sinner" in the story hearkens back to the OT understanding that this was a category akin to someone outside the covenant of Israel, as opposed to someone who simply was guilty of sin. Closing discussion noted how the man was led to confess to Jesus that he believed in the "Son of Man," a title reminiscent of Daniel 7's role of the messiah.

Tuesday – John 9:1-11As Jesus went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some claimed that he was.  Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some claimed that he was.  Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”
