Sermon Scripture: John 9:1-41 This Lent, we have been learning to set aside our disordered desires: our self-sufficiency in the wilderness, our need to control new birth, our thirst for satisfaction in all the wrong wells.

Sermon Scripture: Matthew 4:12-23 Last week we heard the story of the encounter between Andrew, Simon Peter, and John with Jesus (John 1:29-42).

Sermon Scripture: John 1:29-42 Today, as our journey with Jesus continues, we move from identity into living. We are given an invitation to step fully into one of those turning point moments in our lives.
