Mark 10:46-52

This Family Sunday, we look at the last miracle of Jesus before the resurrection—the healing of blind Bartimaeus. Mark’s Gospel begins with Jesus opening the eyes of a blind man (Mark 8) and is bookended with this miracle in Mark 10, showing us that His mission is to open the eyes of the blind—both physically and spiritually.

In this message, Pastor Mitch walks through what it means to truly see Jesus for who He is and to follow Him in faith.

📖 Passage: Mark 10:46–52

💡 Big Idea: Faith in Jesus brings mercy, healing, and transformation.

Key Points:

Cry out to Jesus and ask for mercy (vv. 46–48)

– Bartimaeus calls out with faith, even when rebuked by the crowd.
