Questions Jesus Asked: What Do You Want Me To Do For You?

In Week 1 of our new series Questions Jesus Asked, we sit with one of the most personal and revealing questions Jesus ever spoke: “What do you want Me to do for you?” Walking through the story of blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10, this message reminds us that Jesus doesn’t ask questions to expose us—He asks questions to heal us. On His way out of Jericho, surrounded by crowds and urgency, Jesus stops for a man everyone else ignored. Before restoring Bartimaeus’ sight, Jesus restores his voice, dignity, and agency. This sermon explores the power of honest desire, the courage to speak without shame, and the kind of faith that trusts Jesus with more than survival. Bartimaeus doesn’t ask for accommodation—he asks for transformation. And Jesus honors it. If you’ve been managing pain instead of pursuing healing, adjusting to brokenness instead of believing for restoration, this message is an invitation to hear Jesus asking you the same question today—and to answer Him honestly. Jesus isn’t asking what you can live with. He’s asking what you’re willing to trust Him for.
