Tell Me the Stories of Jesus: The Power of Speaking Out
Monday, 8 June, 2026

The story of Bartimaeus reveals a powerful contrast between physical and spiritual blindness. While Jesus' disciples struggled to understand his true identity despite walking with him daily, a blind beggar immediately recognized Jesus as the Son of David and Messiah. When the crowd tried to silence Bartimaeus, he refused to be quiet and cried out even louder for mercy. Jesus stopped his urgent journey to Jerusalem to respond to this desperate faith. Bartimaeus threw off his cloak, abandoning his old life, and immediately followed Jesus after receiving his sight. This story challenges us to examine our own spiritual blindness and develop the kind of persistent, courageous faith that refuses to be silenced.Support the showVisit communitybrookside.com or facebook.com/communitybrookside for more information!
