Follow Jesus: The Gospel of John for Real Life Grace Hill Presbyterian Church | Morgan Hill, CA Pastor Tyler Allred When Jesus encounters a man born blind, his disciples ask a familiar question:  “Who sinned?” We often assume that suffering must be someone's fault.

Follow Jesus Grace Hill Church, Morgan Hill, CA Pastor Tyler Allred | mhgracehill.church What happens when the Jesus we're actually following turns out to be more demanding than the Jesus we expected?

Follow Jesus Grace Hill Church, Morgan Hill, CA Pastor Tyler Allred | mhgracehill.church If salvation is a free gift, why does Jesus tell us to work for it?
