Sermon Summary Zach Szmara, Mark 8:22-26 (supplemental text, Acts 8:26-31) . In Mark 8:22-26, the central theme is Jesus healing a blind man in two stages. Initially, the man gains partial sight, seeing people as blurry figures. After a second touch from Jesus, his vision becomes completely clear. Similarly, in Acts 8:26-31, Philip is first called to proximity to others, but then receives a second calling to deeply connect with him (kollaō in Greek). The sermon emphasizes that we often settle for the first touch or call, feeling content with imperfect vision or mere proximity. However, God desires us to pursue something more and something deeper - full clarity in our sight and to move from simple proximity to genuine connection with others.
