On Sunday, Pastor Jamey Bryant concluded the "Free" series by teaching from John 9, exploring Jesus as the Light of the World in the context of recent tragic events including violence in our communities. The sermon began with a powerful prayer time acknowledging that "our struggle is not against flesh and blood" but against spiritual darkness. Jamey walked through the blind man's healing at the Pool of Siloam during the Feast of Booths, showing how Jesus demonstrated He is both the Light of the World and the "Sent One" the ceremonies pointed to. Through multiple interrogations by neighbors and Pharisees, the blind man's understanding grew from knowing "the man named Jesus" to declaring "Lord, I believe" and worshiping Him. Jamey concluded with the challenge that we are now the light of the world, qualified to share our stories of grace with others who desperately need hope.
