Open Your Eyes

Guest Speaker Jake Mills, Lead Pastor of New Life Church in Ohio, uses the story of his son’s “lazy eye” to illustrate how many believers navigate life with unseen spiritual blind spots. Drawing from Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1, Mills explains that what Christians need most is not more information, but divine revelation that opens their eyes to the truths of the gospel. He highlights three areas where spiritual blindness often occurs: losing sight of the eternal hope we have in Christ, forgetting our value as God’s treasured inheritance, and underestimating the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit at work within us. Ultimately, Mills reminds us that spiritual sight cannot be achieved through effort or religion alone—it comes through knowing Jesus personally and receiving the transforming revelation that only God can give.
