John 9:35-38 — They cast him out of the synagogue. They never went looking for him

again. But Jesus did.

⛪ Preached at Pilgrim Baptist Church • Cookeville, TN • July 12, 2026.

📚 Part of our verse-by-verse expository series through John chapter 9

This expository preaching message walks through John 9:35-38, the hinge moment where

the blind man Jesus healed is cast out of the synagogue — and Jesus goes and finds him.

This verse-by-verse teaching traces the difference between being cast out, spewed out,

and coming out (John 16:2, Revelation 3:16, 2 Corinthians 6:17), then unpacks why the

title "Son of God" reaches all the way back to Daniel 3:25 and the furnace in Babylon.

If you've ever been pushed out of a system — a church, a group, a place you thought you

belonged — this message asks you to sit in that wreckage a little longer before you rush

past it. Getting thrown out of a system is not the same thing as getting lost to the

Savior. Sometimes the worst day is the one God uses to clear you out of a room you got

too comfortable in.

This is systematic, verse-by-verse Bible exposition connecting John 9:35-38 to Daniel

3:25, Matthew 8:5-10, and John 20:31 to answer one question: what does it actually mean

to believe on the Son of God?

This expository preaching message walks through John 9:35-38, explaining:

- The three ways a man can be put out in Scripture: cast out, spewed out, come out

- Why "they cast him out" is the hinge of the entire chapter

- Why Jesus went looking for the one man nobody else went looking for

- The single question Jesus asks — and everything He refuses to ask

- Where the title "Son of God" first appears in the Old Testament (Daniel 3:25)

- Why this blind man's faith goes further than the Roman centurion's in Matthew 8

- Why Jesus alone, of everyone worshiped by accident in Scripture, never says "stand up"

- Why this is the only recorded worship of Jesus in the entire Gospel of John
