Feb 15, 2026
A sermon that challenges passive waiting and urges action even when steps are messy. It revisits the blind man story to show obedience over perfection. It contrasts debate and display, and explores how waiting fails to fix bitterness, people-pleasing, or the need for imperfect moves. It closes with a call to step forward, wash, and reimagine your transformed self.
