The crowd has seen something they can't explain away.Yet what happens next may be one of the most surprising responses in all of Scripture.Join us as we explore a challenge every person faces and discover why the greatest danger isn't failing to see Jesus. It may be seeing Him clearly.The Danger of Seeing Jesus ClearlySunday at Mountain View High School8:30 AM • 10:00 AM • 11:30 AM

Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy 16 “A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” 17 So some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you […]

Recorded Sunday, 07 June 2026.In the story of Bartimaeus, a blind beggar who recognised Jesus as the promised Messiah, we see that true faith is not about status, possessions, or self-effort, but about humbly crying out for God's mercy and trusting completely in Christ. While many who could physically see failed to recognise Jesus, Bartimaeus received both physical sight and spiritual sight, responding by leaving everything behind to follow Him.

Jesus Over EverythingColossians 4:2-18Bryce Hotchkiss, Lead Minister

What if the greatest blindness isn't physical, but spiritual?In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind and reveals a deeper truth: true sight comes from seeing Him. As the Light of the World, Jesus doesn't simply expose darkness—He opens eyes. This powerful encounter moves from blindness to belief, from rejection to worship, and challenges us to examine whether we are truly seeing Jesus.Join us as we continue The Beloved Gospel through John 9.Scripture: John 9:1–41 (ESV)www.overflowdfw.comSupport the show

SERMON SUMMARY Main Point: Seeing Jesus is an act of grace that only comes from Jesus himself. On May 31, 2026, Pastor Brian Crawford preached from Luke 18:31-43, a passage Luke intentionally placed two stories side by side: disciples who can see but cannot see, and a blind man who cannot see but sees everything that matters. The central question running through the whole sermon is simple and searching: what does it actually mean to have eyes for Jesus? The disciples were physically present but spiritually veiled. Jesus tells the Twelve exactly what is about to happen in Jerusalem, with remarkable detail. He describes betrayal, mockery, flogging, death, and resurrection. And yet Luke records three separate phrases to describe their response: they understood nothing, the saying was hidden, and they did not grasp it. Pastor Brian Crawford argues this is not casual confusion. It is a complete veiling of the eyes, one that only God can lift. The disciples had every advantage and still could not see. Seeing Jesus is never the reward for proximity or religious effort. The cross was God's deliberate plan, not a tragedy he allowed. Pastor Brian Crawford draws on Peter's sermon in Acts 2:23 to show that every person involved in the crucifixion, from the Jewish leaders to Judas to the Gentiles to the crowds, bore real guilt. And yet all of it unfolded according to God's foreknowledge and predetermined plan. Human responsibility and divine sovereignty both stand. The suffering was unbearable and real, but the resurrection on the third day makes this moment one of unspeakable joy held inside unbearable pain. Bartimaeus saw Jesus because grace was given to the humble, not the privileged. The blind beggar had no theological training, no eyewitness experience of miracles, and no social standing. Blindness in the first century meant economic ruin, social rejection, and religious shame. And yet when the crowd told him Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he called out "Son of David," a title packed with messianic weight drawn from 2 Samuel 7. Pastor Brian Crawford points out the stunning irony: the man with no eyes sees what the disciples with every advantage could not. Grace, he argues, lives in humility. God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble, and that includes the grace to see. Jesus stopping for Bartimaeus is a picture of how grace restores dignity. The crowd tried to silence the beggar. Jesus stopped. In stopping, he publicly honored a man everyone else dismissed. Pastor Brian Crawford makes the point directly: it does not matter how many people look past you. If Jesus sees you, you are seen. Faith is grace given to see Jesus rightly and ourselves honestly. Pastor Brian Crawford closes by defining faith not as willpower or religious striving but as a grace-given ability to see Jesus as the Son of David and Savior, and to see ourselves as people who have nothing to bring and everything to receive. Bartimaeus did not hide his need when Jesus asked what he wanted. He said it plainly. That kind of honest, humble confession is exactly what Jesus invites every person into, believer and seeker alike, every single day.

Seeing Jesus Changes Everything

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn for help? Seeing Jesus as a counselor explores how honest conversations, humility, and openness can lead to real healing, guidance, and peace—no matter what you're facing right now.

Step into the kind of community Jesus designed—one marked by grace, unity, and authentic discipleship. Move beyond isolated faith and embrace a Christ-centered life of loving, supporting, and growing alongside others. Discover what it means to truly belong and follow Jesus together.

This is the message from our Sunday morning service on 5/03/2026 with Pastor Fidel.

This reflection by Layperson Lisa explores the theme of seeing Jesus in our daily lives during the Easter season, drawing inspiration from the gospel account of the road to Emmaus and the life of St. Gianna Molla.Key themes and reflections:The Road to Emmaus (1:03 - 1:21): The disciples were walking away from Jerusalem, saddened by the events surrounding Jesus, and failed to recognize Him when He joined them. This serves as a metaphor for how we often miss Jesus' presence in our own lives.Finding God in Daily Tasks (1:32 - 1:53): Drawing on the charism of St. Clare, the speaker encourages viewers to see Jesus in mundane tasks like chores, repairs, or manual labor. He is always present, but we must consciously choose to look for Him.The Witness of St. Gianna Molla (0:18 - 0:48; 2:14 - 2:32): The speaker shares the story of St. Gianna Molla, a doctor who risked her life to protect her unborn child. Meeting St. Gianna's daughter, Gianna Emmanuela, reinforced the importance of being open to God's will, even during trials.Opening Our Hearts (2:45 - 3:17): The video concludes with a call to remove spiritual blindness and open our hearts, which are described as the "eyes to our soul." By doing so, we can recognize Jesus' presence in every moment of every day.

What does your heart look like to Jesus? In Luke 7, we see two powerful encounters that reveal the kind of faith Jesus honors and the kind of compassion He embodies. A Roman centurion shows unexpected humility and trust, while Jesus meets a grieving widow with deep, personal compassion. Together, they show us what it means to trust Jesus fully and reflect His heart to others. This message challenges us to move beyond surface-level faith and ask a deeper question: not just what Jesus can do, but who He truly is—and what that means for our lives.- A faith marked by humility and trust, not entitlement- Seeing Jesus for who He is, not just what He can do- Living with compassion that steps into the mess of others' livesKey Scriptures: Luke 7:1–17Proverbs 4:23Luke 4:31–362 Corinthians 12:8–9What would it look like to have a heart that trusts Jesus completely and reflects His compassion to others? This week, ask God to shape your heart and look for one opportunity to step into someone else's story with care and intention.

This week Pastor John Starke preaches from John 4:1-26, continuing our sermon series "Knowing Jesus".

This message centers on one big idea: how you see Jesus shapes how you live. Many people settle for a blurred or comfortable version of Christ, but Scripture calls us to see Him clearly; as He truly is.When our view of Jesus is off, our lives drift. But when we see Him rightly, everything changes; our priorities, our identity, and our response to Him.The challenge is simple and personal: are you following the real Jesus, or just a version you've made manageable?4.12.2026

Yasmin and Brian talk about Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem and why we need to receive him rightly for who He actually is - as Savior and as King - rather than the version that fits what we want Him to be.

Pastor Rusty reflects on Jesus' entry into Jerusalem (Mark 11) to challenge common misconceptions about Jesus — power, salvation, and the kingdom. Through personal stories (including Cindy's testimony) he shows how Jesus models humble, sacrificial leadership, calls us to spiritual transformation, and invites us to let God's kingdom grow through our lives.

Pastor David Coons - Luke 18-19

Thanks for listening to the River in the Hills Church podcast. We hope you are encouraged and edified by this message brought to you by Glenn Hubbart.

In Mark 10:46–52 Jesus stops for Bartimaeus, a blind beggar whose desperation is greater than his dignity. This sermon explores how admitting our brokenness — naming the places we're stuck — opens the way for Jesus to bring both physical and spiritual sight. Through the story of Bartimaeus we're invited to trade self-reliance for surrender, to call out for mercy, and to follow Jesus into a new way of life.

Nick Heeley - Fear can stop us speaking and living boldly for Jesus in a hostile world. In 2 Kings 6, Elisha is the victorious saviour who shows mercy to his enemies, who points us forward to the our merciful saviour, Jesus. Seeing we belong to the winning side is the antidote to fear. Seeing Jesus's mercy to his enemies should drive the winning side out in courageous service in the world.

“Christ” wasn’t originally a last name, it was a royal title. Seeing Jesus as King reframes the Gospel as more than personal salvation and invites us into a new way of living under His reign.
