Guest speaker Pastor Taylor Fairbanks reads 2 Corinthians 4:3–6 and preaches that the gospel is veiled to unbelievers, so believers must release the “light” they’ve received through testimonies.

He urges the church and Next…
Pastor Robert Tisdale continues the “Cloaked” message from Mark 10:46 –49, teaching that miracles begin when you stop obsessing over what you’ve lost and start using what you have left. Using blind Bartimaeus, he urges the church to sense the urgency of the moment when Jesus is passing, respond immediately, and refuse distractions or ambivalence. He highlights Bartimaeus’ cry—calling Jesus by…

Pastor Robert Tisdale continues his “Mud” series from John 9, emphasizing that before the blind man could testify “I was blind, now I see,” he had to walk through the city with mud on his face—showing that miracles often begin messy, embarrassing, and hard to explain.

Pastor Robert Tisdale preaches at Tampa Life Church from John 9, launching deeper into his “MUD” series and contrasting how Jesus and the disciples viewed a man blind from birth: others saw a problem and looked for blame, but Jesus saw potential and God’s glory.
