Jesus didn't heal the blind man in Mark 8 the same way He healed the blind man in John 9. The blind man had to take a step of faith, and even then he wasn't healed immediately. He saw men "like trees walking." You have to look for Jesus right in front of you. He's always working in your life and in the lives of others.

Topic: The Life of Christ, Miracles
Friends are often instrumental in our spiritual journey. In Capernaum, four men carry their handicapped friend to the right place on his spiritual journey. They take him to Jesus… and when they can’t get in the front door they drag him up on the roof, rip a hole in it and lower him down. Like the paralytic, we can be broken, sick, full of sin, weak-minded and short on faith,...

Topic: The Attributes of Christ
John 9 tells the story of Jesus' healing a man born blind. The miracle was so powerful the religious leaders tried to trap him by accusing Jesus. Instead, he testified of Jesus' power and learned that Christ was the Messiah. You don't have to understand everything about Jesus to love and trust Him.

Scripture: John 9
Topic: The Attributes of Christ, Miracles
Jesus cried to the crowd, "All who are thirsty, come!" Christ, the Living Water offered to quench the thirst of people who were broken and hopeless that their Messiah would never come.

Scripture: Luke 4:18-28
Topic: Process of Spiritual Growth
Paul in his letter to the Corinthian church wants Christians to consider the claims of Christ and ponder our choice to receive Him as Lord and Savior even in the middle of our doubts. Jesus can't just be a good teacher. He claimed to be the Son of God. Paul points us to a living hope and a "live option."

Topic: Christ as Savior
Jesus teaches that God is a giver at heart. When we change our financial thinking to the "give, save and live" model, we align ourselves to God's principles for managing money. Follow His plan. Experience God's joy as He uses us for the greater good on this planet.

Scripture: Matthew 25
Topic: Stewardship
God is closer than we think... even when we try to keep Him at arm's length. After five failed marriages, the woman at the well isolates herself from God and everyone else rather than risk rejection. Based on her core beliefs, the Samaritan woman knows that God will send a Messiah who will be her connection to God. She just doesn't know God will send Himself… but He does.
