John 9:24-41 — The Sight of the Blind & The Blindness of the Sighted

 

Listen to this sermon here or on Apple Podcast or Spotify.

 

Welcome to this week’s worship service at The Vine! 🌿

We began today’s gathering by sharing in Communion, remembering the body and blood of Jesus given for us. As we came to the table together, we reflected on Christ’s sacrifice, grace, and the new life we have because of Him.

Following Communion, we turned to John 9:24–41, continuing the story of the man who was born blind and healed by Jesus. In this passage, the focus shifts from the miracle itself to the response it provokes — exposing the contrast between religious pride and simple, courageous faith.

📖 In this message, we see:

  • How religious pride resists clear evidence, even in the face of undeniable transformation

  • The courage and clarity of a man who can’t explain everything, but knows one thing: “I was blind, but now I see”

  • Jesus revealing that the deepest blindness is not physical, but spiritual

  • A powerful invitation to humility, belief, and worship in response to Christ

This service challenges us to ask honest questions about our own hearts: Are we willing to admit our need, or do we cling to the illusion that we already see clearly?

May this time of worship, Communion, and Scripture lead us to deeper faith in Jesus — the One who gives sight to the blind.
