That includes how to qualify, contribute, invest the funds, and take strategic withdrawals.I also explain why it's worth tracking medical expenses—even if you don't reimburse yourself right away—to create future options for tax-free income.What you'll learn:1. How an HSA can help reduce your lifetime tax burden and fit into a broader retirement strategy2.

As the Light of the world, Jesus puts clay on the man's eyes and renews his sight. The Pharisees question the man as to what has happened, and the man announces Jesus as a prophet. The Jews then call in the man's parents, confirming he was born blind. They will not believe in Jesus and are determined to discredit the miracle. They speak to the man again, and he proclaims the Healer to be from God. The Jewish leaders then put him out of the synagogue. Jesus finds the man and reveals Himself to be the Son of Man, and the healed man worships Him. Jesus then teaches that Pharisees who think they can see will always be blind and in sin. The blind man's healing leads to these words of Jesus: “For judgment I came into the world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.” For all who are humble and in need of Christ, He brings light and restoration. The blind man represents all sinners, in need of opened eyes by the power of Jesus. If He has restored us, we should openly and passionately worship Him as the Son of God. But those who think they see without Him will not come to him for healing. All who choose to reject the glory of Jesus will be revealed in the end as blind and lost in darkness. Dear Lord, You have shown amazing mercy in sending Your Son, the perfect Light, into this world of darkness and sin. He relentlessly seeks those who know that they need Him. Father, we pray for an ever-present need for the Light of the world in our lives. We are often blind and drawn to the shadows. Will You please make Jesus the Light to our path and the One who shows us the way? Give us the wisdom to see Him and follow Him. Purge from our hearts any arrogance, pride, and disbelief that would keep us from our Savior. Thought Questions: - The man's blindness created a circumstance for God to act. Are you open to seeing your struggles as opportunities for Christ to work? - The healed man worshiped Jesus. Do you believe Jesus is worthy of your worship? How does that look on days other than Sunday? - The Pharisees would not believe no matter the evidence. What creates that sort of blindness and how do you avoid it?
In John 9 we have the 6th sign in the healing of the blind man. The discussion in this chapter is similar to the pattern established in chapter 5. Both the blind man and his parents are persecuted by the rulers for accepting Jesus. The formerly blind man gives a remarkable and compelling testimony that Jesus must be from God. The religious leaders spitefully cast out the man who has dumbfounded them with scriptural logic. Our Lord later finds this man in the temple so as to complete his restoration. These events most likely happened at the feast of the Dedication. John 10 is the magnificent account of Jesus being the door and the Good Shepherd. Christ had come that believers might have life and have it more abundantly verses 10-11. Our Lord by laying down his life for his sheep secured for believers that wonderful hope of eternal life in the kingdom of God. Once again the theme of chapter 10 is a repeat and elaboration of chapter 5 ie that his sheep will recognise his voice. In the purpose of bringing salvation to believers he and his Father are one ie united – but our Lord's power is derived from his Father. The Jews reacted to our Lord's words and by claiming that he was speaking blasphemy. Jesus proves from Psalm 82 that the judges of Israel were called “god” as they spoke God's Word. The chapter finishes with Jesus going across the Jordan for some months – in Perea – where he remains until the events of chapter 11 would bring him back.

Healing of the man blind from his birth, who was sent to wash himself in the pool of Siloe.
For us to think we see so clearly, we sure can get things wrong sometimes. Join us today as we learn how Jesus provides the clarity we need. --- What does the Bible tell us about navigating new horizons and fresh starts? Using the Conquest of Canaan as our narrative guide, this series will help us see how Joshua and the Israelites looked to God to lead them into the Promised Land, and we'll also see the principles God gave them that will still work well for us today.

Event Date + Time:Sunday,Mar 23 ·9:57 — 11:30am(1 hour, 33 minutes)Description:Description:Fear can keep us silent, but the cost of bearing witness is real. In John 9:18–23, we see the parents of the healed man hesitate to speak the truth out of fear of rejection. What does this mean for us today? Are we willing to stand for truth, even when it costs us something?In this message, we explore: ✅ The power of fear in silencing truth ✅ The cost of bearing witness (Martyria) ✅ The dangers of weaponizing “truth” ✅ How truth in Christ welcomes, not excludes ✅ The courage to speak with love and wisdomJoin us as we reflect on how faith calls us to boldness and love, not fear and division.

Do you have a perception about yourself and your life spiritually that is inaccurate? Does your attitude toward Jesus reveal you are spiritually in the dark? In this message, Pastor Kiel Mahaffy walks us through John 9 and helps us calibrate our openness to Jesus based on how we respond to who he is.
Pastor Josh Daggett
Rubbing mud on the eyes of a blind man is just one example of how Jesus Christ often used some unorthodox methods when healing and performing miracles. But it was the conversations that followed which triggered the Pharisees into yet another fit of anger and confusion. We'll take a look at it on today's edition of Bridging the Gap
Pastor Lloyd Pulley points to God's compassion and power today, through the telling of a story that is familiar to most, if not all of us. In John chapter nine we're introduced to a man born blind, who is instantly healed by Christ.

Passage: 1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” (John 9:1-5) Song: Broken Vessels by Joel Houston and Jonas Myrin Lyrics: All these pieces Broken and scattered In mercy gathered Mended and whole Empty handed But not forsaken I've been set free I've been set free Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me Oh I once was lost But now I am found Was blind but now I see Oh I can see You now Oh I can see the love in Your eyes Laying Yourself down Raising up the broken to life You take our failure You take our weakness You set Your treasure In jars of clay So take this heart Lord I'll be Your vessel The world to see Your life in me Prayer: “Almighty Lord, our God, whose eyes are in every place beholding the evil and the good, and who sees not only our outward actions, but all our most secret thoughts—we pray you to maintain in us this day a constant sense of your presence, and to preserve us from sinning against you. We are exposed to dangers by night and by day; our lives are in your hands, and unto you do we look for preservation from every evil. O Lord, teach us to be ever mindful of you. When we go out and come in, and when we are alone and in company, may we bear in mind that you are continually with us, and that you take account of all we think, and speak, and do. Amen.” — Henry Thornton

The ritual of spring cleaning takes on new life in this energizing episode as Matt and Sam craft the perfect soundtrack for transforming both your living space and your mindset. Rather than viewing cleaning as a chore, we reimagine it as a journey of renewal that deserves its own carefully curated playlist.Our unique approach divides the cleaning experience into two complementary sides. Matt's selections begin with the motivational power of Christopher Cross's "Ride Like the Wind" (complete with its surprising LSD-inspired origin story) and progresses through tracks that address both physical spaces and internal "cleaning" – recognizing that sometimes the most important decluttering happens within ourselves. From the practical reminders of "Car Wash" by Rose Royce to the introspective examination in "Demons" by Imagine Dragons, Side A creates momentum for your cleaning journey.Sam's Side B acknowledges the reality that before things get cleaner, they often must first get messier. Starting with Matt and Kim's aptly titled "Make a Mess," these selections guide you through the emotional process of letting go (with Peter Bjorn and John's "Objects of My Affection"), finding motivation when energy flags (Britney's iconic "Work Bitch"), and ultimately creating your own personal paradise (Coldplay).What emerges is more than just a playlist – it's a thoughtful exploration of how our physical environments reflect our mental states. By creating order in our surroundings, we often discover newfound clarity and peace within ourselves. Throughout the episode, we share personal insights about the connection between clean spaces and clear minds, offering listeners both practical motivation and meaningful reflection.Whether you're tackling a major decluttering project or simply tidying up for the new season, this musical journey transforms mundane household tasks into an opportunity for renewal. Put on your headphones, grab your cleaning supplies, and join us in creating spaces that nourish rather than drain us as we welcome spring.https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/spring-cleaning-2025/pl.u-ppBRCdKjlz1.
