The 5/19/24 sermon by Mike Gowens considers Luke 18:35-43 and focuses on the first of two ministry encounters Jesus had with people in Jericho. Our Lord and his disciples are proceeding to Jerusalem where he will be tried and sentenced to death. Yet Jesus "stands still" to resolve a physical need in the life of a blind beggar named Bartimaeus. When Jesus passes by, he brings transformation to the lives of his little children.
