Already in the Field

Mar 15, 2026

This moving exploration of John 9 and 1 Samuel 16 challenges us to examine the frameworks and filters we use to navigate our world. We encounter two profound stories: Samuel searching for Israel's next king among Jesse's sons, and Jesus healing a man born blind. Both narratives reveal a startling truth: God consistently shows up in the places our categories have already dismissed. The shepherd boy in the field wasn't waiting to matter—he already mattered to God. The blind man on the corner wasn't there because God had forgotten him—he was there because that's exactly where God was working. The message cuts deep: our limitations, our smallness, our overlooked status was never the point. We were always the point. This isn't just ancient history; it speaks directly to communities and individuals who feel invisible by the world's standards. The invitation is clear: stop looking through the lens of worldly significance and start seeing where God is actually present—in the fields, on the corners, in the places we've learned to overlook. The most revolutionary question we can ask ourselves is: who are the people in our field we haven't thought to bring in?
