Bible Reading: Psalm 32 1. Instruction 2. Direction 3. Rededication 4. Encouragement The sermon explores the theme of divine guidance through an exposition of Psalm 32, emphasizing God's role as instructor and protector. It highlights David's experience of sin, confession, and subsequent restoration to illustrate the necessity of repentance for receiving spiritual direction. The preacher contrasts the restlessness of the wicked with the peace found in following the narrow path of righteousness. Key aspects of this guidance include instruction from Scripture, watchfulness by church leaders, and the call to rededicate one's life to Christ. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to trust in God's eye for protection and to share this truth as a signpost to others.

This sermon explores the theological foundations of religious liberty by examining God's design for human social institutions. The speaker identifies the family, the church, and civil government as the three primary institutions established by Scripture, each with distinct compositions and purposes derived from passages like Genesis 2, Matthew 16, and Romans 13. Emphasizing that true wisdom requires asking 'why' and 'how do you know,' the message argues that a robust understanding of biblical authority is essential for stewarding freedom of worship. The preacher urges believers to ground their convictions in Scripture rather than conjecture, ensuring that their advocacy for liberty reflects God's intent for human flourishing and order. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a faithful, informed approach to living within these divinely ordained structures.

"But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame." That is not the wicked getting what they earned. That is the people of God, cast off, because sin was let in among them and tolerated, and when God Himself does the casting off, you have gone too far.

I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE John 9 is more than the healing of a man born blind; it is a picture of what happens when Jesus opens the eyes of a sinner. The man was physically blind from birth, but his story also mirrors our spiritual condition. We are born unable to truly see Christ until He gives us sight. Jesus saw the man before the man could see Him, and what looked like a lifelong tragedy became a stage for the works and glory of God to be revealed. As the man's eyes were opened, the Pharisees could not deny that something had happened, so they tried to discredit the One who did it and then discredit the man himself. That is often how the world responds to genuine transformation. If people cannot deny the evidence of what Christ has done, they may attack the person who has been changed. But the man stood on the one thing he knew: "Though I was blind, now I see." He did not know everything about Jesus yet, but he knew enough to trust the One who had opened his eyes. His parents, however, were afraid of being rejected by the religious leaders. They could see that something had happened to their son, but fear kept them from openly standing with Jesus. Their response shows how the pressure of acceptance, reputation, family, or community can keep people from confessing Christ even when His work is plainly visible. The formerly blind man grew bolder as the questioning continued. His understanding of Jesus developed from calling Him "a Man," to "a prophet," to recognizing that He must be from God, and finally to confessing, "Lord, I believe," and worshiping Him. That progression beautifully pictures discipleship: Jesus opens our eyes, and as we follow Him, we increasing

When The Seeing Go Blind This message centers on John 8–9 and the difference between true spiritual sight and religious blindness. The man born blind knew he could not see, and that awareness positioned him to receive what only Jesus could give. The Pharisees, however, were convinced they already saw clearly. Because they believed they had life, truth, and God figured out apart from Jesus, they rejected the very Light standing in front of them. Jesus' healing of the blind man becomes a living picture of salvation. The man begins with limited understanding—"a Man called Jesus"—but as he responds to the light he has been given, his understanding grows until he confesses Christ and worships Him. Meanwhile, the Pharisees move in the opposite direction. They investigate the miracle, question the witnesses, reject the evidence, and become increasingly hardened. The one who admitted his blindness received sight; the ones who claimed to see remained blind. The teaching also emphasizes Jesus as the One sent by the Father. Throughout John, Jesus repeatedly speaks of being sent with divine authority and a divine assignment. He does not work independently; He works the works of the Father who sent Him. That truth carries over to believers: Jesus continues His witness through His people, and we are called to work while it is day, faithfully carrying out what God has entrusted to us. Another major theme is the danger of believing in a Jesus of our own interpretation rather than receiving Jesus as He actually reveals Himself. In John 8, some initially "believed" Jesus, yet soon resisted His Word and ultimately wanted to kill Him. Their problem was that they accepted what they though
