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

Seeing Jesus Changes Everything
Seeing Jesus 17 May 26 by Glory City Church Darwin
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.
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.

Matt Whitman of the Ten Minute Bible Hour, author of "Lightning-Fast Field Guide to the Bible," offer help to see the reason and meaning of each book of the Bible and how it shows us Jesus more clearly. Dr. Corbin Hoornbeek, president of The University of Northwestern-St Paul and Northwestern Media, talks about the acknowledgement by many institutions of higher education that they drifted from their mission and purpose, but struggle to do anything about it.

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

Because the Son of God has come, Easter is not the finish line but the beginning of learning to see Jesus more clearly. He opens our eyes, keeps his people in a dark world, and leads us deeper into truth, obedience, and worship.

4-5-26: 3 Things that Prevent You from Seeing Jesus (Resurrection Day) by LifeSource Church
This Sunday is Easter and we will finally conclude our study in the Gospel of Mark with Mark's account of the Resurrection of our Lord. We began our study on January 8, 2023, and have returned to it each spring. I trust that these four years of study about the life and work of Jesus have not just informed your mind but have also enlarged your heart, helping you worship and follow Jesus as his disciple. In our last sermon of the series, we'll see that the earliest disciples found faith as hard as we sometimes do. But Jesus went before them, preparing them for their sacred calling to be his witnesses to the world. He goes before you and me too, preparing us for the callings on our life that we will fulfill until he comes again to restore all things.
Show Notes:: What if Passover isn't just a Jewish tradition? What if it's not just about Israel escaping Egypt? What if every single detail was designed by God to point to Jesus?

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 the church calendar, today is both Palm Sunday and Passion Sunday, a day where we remember both Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem and his redeeming suffering on the cross. The tension between these two images of Jesus—hailed as King by the crowds but mocked as King by Pilate and others—is instructive for us. It makes us confront our own expectations of King Jesus: what does he look like? What does his kingdom look like?
The pace of Mark's storytelling—already fast compared to the other Gospel writers—spicing up. Jesus is taken from the Garden of Gethsemane to the home of the High Priest for a hasty trial before the Jewish religious leaders. Peter, meanwhile, has followed at a distance and is trapped by accusations that he was one of Jesus' disciples. Both Jesus and Peter undergo a trial of sorts, both are condemned, but only one is innocent. Join us this Sunday as we study Mark 14:53-72 and draw closer and closer to the cross.
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.
Remember God loves you so much he sent his Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for your sins. You are of great value. Jesus loves you and He is just a prayer away!
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.

Faith rarely happens all at once. More often, it unfolds step by step.In this message from John 8–9, Chris Nichols traces the powerful story of the man born blind whose healing becomes a journey—from questioning, to responding, to believing, and finally to worshiping Jesus as Lord. Through this progression, we see that Jesus is the illuminating I AM, the Light of the World who opens our eyes not just to see, but to truly know him.This episode explores:What it means that Jesus is the Light of the WorldWhy honest questions are often the beginning of authentic faithHow personal transformation becomes a testimony of beliefThe invitation to move from healing into wholehearted worshipIf you feel like your faith is unfinished, uncertain, or still forming, this message offers hope: Jesus meets you in the middle of your journey and gently leads you toward deeper trust and worship.
"Seeing Jesus: The Transfiguration" — Pastor Brad explores Mark 9's transfiguration, showing how mountaintop encounters with Christ are a foretaste of glory meant to fuel us to descend into service, compassion, and sacrificial love. Through story, scripture, and communion, we're invited to move from spiritual highs into everyday obedience — loving our neighbors, serving the vulnerable, and living out the gospel in the valley.
What happens when you truly see Jesus for who He is? In Luke 5, Peter moves from curiosity to conviction, from confidence to collapse, and from fear to calling. After a miraculous catch of fish, Peter realizes he's standing before holiness itself and cries out, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man.” But instead of pushing him away, Jesus pulls him closer. This message walks through what it means to see God clearly, to recognize our deep need, and to receive the beauty and purpose Jesus offers in exchange for our ashes. If you've ever wrestled with feeling unworthy, stuck in sin, or unsure how to take your next step, this sermon speaks directly to you.• Seeing Jesus for who He truly is changes everything• When we recognize our sin, we discover we are beggars in need of grace• Jesus offers forgiveness, adoption, and a new purposeKey Scriptures:Luke 5:1–11Isaiah 6Isaiah 61:3Romans 3:10–20Ephesians 2:10Don't settle for simply attending church. Ask God to reveal Himself to you in a fresh way. Take a step of faith, get involved, and follow Jesus where He leads. If this message encouraged or challenged you, share it with a friend or family member who needs to see Him more clearly.Bayou City Fellowship Cypress Campus | Nick Maricle | March 1, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship
"Seeing Jesus: Mark 8:27–38 — On the first Sunday of Lent we begin a series through Mark exploring how true recognition of Jesus comes through the cross. Pastor-led teaching walks the congregation from partial, confused glimpses of Jesus to a clearer, life-changing view: the Messiah who calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow him toward resurrection hope."
Our difficult circumstances may be God's chosen tool for accomplishing His will through us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What we think about God is the most important thing about us. In this message, Pastor Aaron challenges us to examine whether we truly believe that God is good. When we see Jesus clearly as the Gate, the Good Shepherd, and the source of life, everything changes. Knowing Him truly transforms the way we live and is the only thing that leads us into the abundant life He promises.
