Ps.
Aaron Creasey

Each week we look at a different Faith Story
This week, we are going to look at the story of a blind man who was healed by Jesus, and the effects of this healing.
INTRO
PASSAGE
John 9:1–7 (ESV)
As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.
We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva.
Then he anointed the man’s eyes with the mud and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent).
So he went and washed and came back seeing.
This message is where the Rubber Hits The Road.
TITLE: USE SIMPLE FAITH

STORY
Construction Analogy - Pocket Hole
I cant accomplish what I have been asked to do, or make the changes to my house, if I don’t first understand how to use the tools that I have been given.
We are called to use our FAITH
So you and I need to UNDERSTAND our FAITH
One of the biggest things that amazes me about our age group is that we TALK about things all the time but we don’t understand how they work.
Have you ever had a conversation about something and after, totally realize that you had no idea what you were talking about?
JAMES - CARS
We are called not to just know what faith is!
But understand how it works in our lives.
And I THINK THAT THIS STORY HOLDS A FUNDAMENTAL KEY TO OUR FAITH HERE TODAY
OBSERVATION
PT ONE: I’M MADE FOR ACTION
And I think we need to understand that:
FOLLOWING JESUS IS USING SIMPLE FAITH.
FOLLOWING ALWAYS REQUIRES ACTION
There is action to your faith.
YOUR SIMPLE FAITH IN JESUS IS CALLING YOU INTO ACTION.
AND THAT ACTION LEADS TO CHANGE
Look at the man… BEFORE HE WAS HEALED HE WAS CALLED TO ACTION
And Jesus as well mentioned this work, this action right before he sent him.
Faith is all about action.
THIS IS HOW OUR FAITH WORKS
TO BE HONEST
I think a lot of us have faith!
THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE ISSUE.
But we just don’t know how to USE it.
BEST BUY - BUYING A GAME WITH MY ALLOWANCE
I had the money, but I had no idea what to do with it.
We are not called to wander through life with Faith without Works
The world out there NEEDS OUR FAITH
SO We are called to USE SIMPLE FAITH
So how do we use our faith?
Harder verse but it is the truth, READY?
(THE BIBLE IS THE TRUTH)
James 2:14–20 (NLT)
What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions?
Can that kind of faith save anyone?
Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing.
What good does that do?
So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough.
Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
(FAITH PRODUCES GOOD DEEDS NOT US) ITS NOT YOUR ACTION ITS FAITHS ACTION IN YOU
Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.”
But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds?
I will show you my faith by my good deeds.”
You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God.
Good for you!
Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror.
How foolish!
Can’t you see that faith without good deeds is useless?
WE ARE CALLED TO HAVE SIMPLE FAITH
BUT WHAT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT WE ARE CALLED TO
USE SIMPLE FAITH!
The BLIND MAN was called to action
Peter walking on water was called to action
The man lame man outside of temple was called to stand
The man lowered through the ceiling was called to get up
The people around Lazarus were called to roll away the stone
The People helping Jesus to turn water to wine were told to fill the containers
The woman with bleeding, reached and touched his Garment
I CAN KEEP GOING
YOUR FAITH IS ACTIVATED WITH ACTION
AND THE AMAZING THING IS THAT ACTION LEADS TO CHANGE!
ACTION LEADS TO CHANGE
Faith First - Action Second - Change Third.
I WANT CHANGE NOW
LIKE I SAID LAST WEEK
