"JOHN'S GOSPEL"
CHAPTER NINE
SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 22, 2009
PASTOR DAVE RING
LOS ALAMOS 1ST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

Today we continue a "sermonic study" of the Gospel of John. It's my intention to preach and teach us through John's Gospel, with only occasional interruptions, throughout the first half of 2009.

John 9:1-12 Healing a Man Blind from Birth

Who sinned? No one - it is simply circumstantial (and an opportunity)
_______________________________________________________

The specialized method of healing - because the man was born blind
_______________________________________________________

He looks very different afterward!
_______________________________________________________

John 9:13-34 Major Pharisaic controversy over a good deed

It was done on the Sabbath day
_______________________________________________________

Repeated inquisition of the man healed (and his parents)
_______________________________________________________

Wisdom from a layman (rejected by the Jewish leaders)
_______________________________________________________

John 9:35-41 A discussion of blindness -- in two forms

Jesus invites faith in Him
_______________________________________________________

The Pharisees hear a "slap" from Jesus
_______________________________________________________

If the shoe fits….
_______________________________________________________

Next week we'll continue on with chapter 10 of John's Gospel. You are urged to read and meditate upon it prior to next Sunday morning.
