The people you love are wondering when you’re finally going to SHARE your STORY

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. -Acts 1:8

Begin with Prayer

                                 Listen

                                 Eat Together

                                 Serve

MAN BORN BLIND

John Chapter 9

1 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.

6 Then he spit on the ground, made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man’s eyes. 

7 He told him, “Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam” (Siloam means “sent”). So the man went and washed and came back seeing! 

8 His neighbors and others who knew him as a blind beggar asked each other, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

10 They asked, “Who healed you? What happened?” 

11 He told them, “The man they call Jesus made mud and spread it over my eyes and told me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash yourself.’ So I went and washed, and now I can see!”

NOW THE REST OF THE STORY

12After washing their feet, He put on His robe again, He sat down and asked, “Now do you understand what I was doing? 13You call me teacher ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’ and you are right, because that’s what I am.14 I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. 15I have given you an example to 

Do as I have done to you.16 I tell you the truth, the slaves are not greater than their master nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message. 17Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them.  – John 13:12-17

3 PARTS TO YOUR STORY:
