This sermon explores the significance of Jesus' question to blind Bartimaeus: 'What do you want me to do for you?' and prompts listeners to reflect on their own desires if given a chance to ask Jesus one thing. Through a series of comparisons—comfort vs. character, happiness vs. holiness, rescue vs. refinement—Greg encourages deep introspection about what we truly treasure and how it shapes our lives spiritually. Using personal anecdotes and Biblical stories, he delves into the importance of seeking spiritual growth and alignment with God's will over worldly comforts and validations.
