Full Recap

In We Want Our Sight, Pastor Douglas Myrie draws from Matthew 20 to reveal a divine paradox: true sight begins in surrender. Jesus redefines greatness not as dominance, but as servanthood. The blind men’s cry becomes a model for spiritual hunger, loud, persistent, and undeterred by the crowd. The sermon opens with a metaphor of a blind man who stands at the cliff’s edge each morning, waiting for a sunrise he cannot see. He believes in a beauty he’s never witnessed. That’s the posture of faith, trusting in what we’ve heard but not yet seen.

Three Pathways to True Sight

• Desperation is the doorway to revelation — The blind men cried out despite rebuke. Their desperation unlocked divine attention. Sticky Phrase: Don’t let the crowd cancel your cry.
• Sight begins with surrender, not status — Jesus chose the towel over the throne. Servanthood is the lens of heaven. Sticky Phrase: Servanthood is the lens of heaven.
• Faith that follows is faith that sees — Healing led to discipleship. They didn’t just receive sight, they followed Jesus. Sticky Phrase: Healing is not the end; it’s the invitation.

Legacy Reflection

This message is for those who feel unseen, unheard, or spiritually stuck. Your cry matters. Your healing has purpose. Like the woman in our church whose quiet faith became a guiding light, your breakthrough can become someone else’s roadmap. This is legacy leadership, where your restoration becomes a resource for others.

Spiritual Insight

Jesus’s response to the blind men wasn’t transactional, it was transformational. He didn’t just give them sight; He gave them direction. The Greek word for “followed” (akoloutheō) implies ongoing discipleship. Their healing became a hinge point for purpose. Likewise, our breakthroughs must birth obedience.

Declaration

“I will not be silenced. I cry out for sight, surrender my status, and follow Jesus into purpose.”
