In the sermon titled "Do You Believe He Is Able?" Darvin Pruitt focuses on the themes of faith and the healing power of Jesus, as illustrated in Matthew 9:27-29. The key argument centers on the necessity of genuine faith in Christ as the capable Savior, which is exemplified by the blind men who sought His mercy. Pruitt emphasizes that the transformative relationship one has with Jesus is paramount, as their physical blindness is symbolic of spiritual blindness—a theme grounded in Reformed theology that emphasizes total depravity. Specific scriptural references, such as Matthew 9:27-29, underline Jesus' question, “Do you believe I am able to do this?” showcasing the interaction between divine ability and human faith. The practical significance lies in the assertion that faith in Christ’s power to heal and save is essential for the spiritual awakening of believers, encouraging a personal introspection on one’s belief in Christ's sufficiency.
“They were nothing and He was everything. They were darkness, He's light. They were death, He's life.”
