The Repentance Debate-Pastor Brent Madaris

 In "A Miracle for Your Sight" (John 9:1–41), Pastor Brent Snook brings us the sixth miracle in John's Gospel — Jesus healing a man born blind. He examines the man's misery — a picture of every person living in spiritual darkness — the mystery of the Messiah, as religious leaders attack the man's faith, family, and friend while his own faith grows from "a good man" to "Lord, I believe" — and the message of the miracle: Jesus is a Light that shines, seeks, saves, and is shunned. Closing with the healed man's unforgettable testimony, Pastor Brent reminds us that the same Gospel that brings some to the light drives others deeper into darkness. The question for every listener is simple: what will you do with the light? 

In this message from our series The Other Side, Pastor Brent explores Joshua 8-9 and Israel's rhythm of renewal after failure, what it means to discern the Lord's voice in our decisions, and how — even through deception — God keeps turning outsiders into insiders.

Every Christian holds dual citizenship, belonging both to an earthly nation and to the kingdom of God. In this special one-week message, Pastor Brent explores what the Bible teaches about rightly ordering our loves and allegiances, with Christ's kingdom always coming first.

This sermon is about the biblical practice of lament—bringing your pain, confusion, anger, and grief honestly to God instead of hiding it or letting it consume you. Using Psalm 13 as the main text, Pastor Brent explains that every believer experiences tension between what they know to be true about God and the hardships they face in life. Rather than denying suffering or being controlled by emotions, God invites His people to lament by honestly expressing their complaints, boldly asking for His help, and ultimately choosing to trust His character even when circumstances have not changed. The sermon emphasizes that lament is not a lack of faith but an act of faith because it keeps believers in conversation with God. It concludes by pointing to Jesus, who quoted Psalm 22 on the cross and entered fully into human suffering, showing that through His death and resurrection, God has promised that pain and lament will not have the final word. One day, God will wipe away every tear, making lament temporary and hope eternal.
