September 21, 2025

Mark 8:22-30

 

Two-Stage Healing

 

1.   Spiritual _________________________. (22-26)

“He took the blind man by the hand and brought him out of the village. Spitting on his eyes and laying his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”

He looked up and said, “I see people—they look like trees walking.”

vs. 23-24 (CSB)

 

          Point:  Spiritual maturity brings spiritual __________________.

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity.” II Peter 3:18 (CSB)

 

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” II Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV)

 

2.   Spiritual __________________________. (27-30)

“By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in Him, and He in God.” I John 4:13-15 (ESV)

 

          Point; Spiritual Clarity: Jesus is _____________________!

“Jesus told him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” John 14:6 (CSB)

 

“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.” Romans 10:9-10 (CSB)
