Please join Megan Poole this coming Sunday,November 15, 2026 as she preaches: “What are we choosing to see?” John 9

My Theme includes loving our neighbors, especially those with disabilities. My sermon explores the story of Jesus healing the man born blind in John 9 through the lens of disability, inclusion, and the assumptions society makes about people with disabilities. Drawing on my own experience growing up with Cerebral Palsy, I reflect on the harmful questions that often surround disability. Like the disciples and Pharisees in the passage, we can become so focused on finding explanations, defending traditions, or identifying what we see as broken that we fail to see the person in front of us. Jesus challenges these assumptions by seeing the man beyond his disability, recognizing his humanity, dignity, and faith. The sermon invites us to examine how we see others, challenge our own assumptions, and recognize the image of God in everyone. It concludes with a central question: What are we choosing to see?
