Biblical Foundation:

The Gospel of Mark Chapter 10

• Christ Deals With Blindness in Various Forms
• A story about both physical and spiritual blindness. It’s also a story about the power of Christ and the call to follow Christ.
• How we see God, the world, and others.

Big Question of The Sermon:

Is it possible to have sight and still be blind?

Point #1: Living with Blindness

Are we willing to see what our parents couldn’t see?

Mark 10:46-47

Point #2: Leaving Behind What Supports Blindness

What Weight in Your Life is Assisting Your Blindness?

Point #3: Learning to See and Follow

Seek. See. Surrender.

Mark 10:51-52

I Once Was Lost, But Now I’m Found, I Was Once Blind But Now I See.
