    This is the 27th sermon in a series on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we discuss Jesus healing the man who was born blind, and how that displays the glory of God. We look at some misconceptions people might have about illness, and focus on God's sovereignty and purposes in all things.

    In the world today people call for peace. They paint signs, write letters, drop bombs, and murder trouble makers, all in the name of peace.
