What Do You Really Want? The Question That Changes Everything, Part 2

<p dir="ltr"><strong>The Question That Reveals Your Heart, Your Purpose, and Your Faith</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">This is for you if:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">You've been following Jesus for years but feel your spiritual passion cooling.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="font-style: italic;" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Your prayer life feels repetitive — or self-focused.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="font-style: italic;" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">You're wrestling with whether you're truly surrendered or just spiritually comfortable.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="font-style: italic;" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">You want to move from spectator Christianity to active discipleship.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="font-style: italic;" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">You've been asking God for things… but aren't sure what that reveals about your heart.</p> </li> </ul> <h3 dir="ltr">Sermon Description</h3> <h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Big Idea</span></h2> <p dir="ltr">True spiritual sight is revealed not in what you see — but in what you seek.</p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Scripture:</strong></span><br /> <br /> Mark 10:46-52<br /> <br /></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>What if one question from Jesus could expose your deepest desires — and redirect your entire spiritual life?</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">In this powerful two-part message from Mark 10, we explore the moment Jesus asks two very different people the same question: "What do you want me to do for you?" One seeks status. The other cries out for mercy. One walks away disappointed.
