When Jesus and the Disciples passed a man blind from birth, Jesus stopped while the disciples passed this man by. They grouped this blind man into a box saying "who was it that sinned, the man or his parents, that made him this way?" They assumed that there was fault at hand and grouped him into a named box believing that they already knew everything about him. As we see, they were wrong. How can we look past our assumptions and statements of "that person deserved it" and see how Jesus chose to see?

This sermon invites people into the ancient practice of Sabbath as the only means of fuel for our demanding lives.

As seen with Paul, the Corinthians seemed to stray the most from Paul's teachings and God's word. They were the people who needed the most hand holding, but Paul always went outside of his bubble of faithful followers to extend his love. How can we follow this example and venture to love people who might not be in our comfortable, "Christian" bubbles?

We tend to play it safe with who we love. We should run the constant risk of running into Jesus.

It is easier to connect with people when showing your true identity. You will show more about yourself by being genuine than by boasting.

Even when you are married and/or have friends, you can still fell like no one really knows you or understands you. Through the healing of the leper, we learn that we can find God in the lonely places.

Being vulnerable is an act of love. As it is heard in the word, when I am weak, I am strong. But, what does that really mean for us? Why are we the strongest when we are the most vulnerable?
