    Jesus And The Power To Overcome Death

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 11, 2015
     | 5,650 views

    Jesus’ raising of Lazarus sent the people running for cover, and it should also send us running for cover too. We and they finally see that Jesus is Lord and liberator of all the people of God.

    The passage from John 11:30-47 shows Jesus at some of the highest and lowest points in his ministry. Jesus was told a few days earlier that his friend Lazarus was sick, but he waited for two days before he and the disciples went to the home of Mary and Martha, who were Lazarus’ sisters.

    What keeps you bound in a tomb of death?

    "What Keeps You from Really Living?" John 11:1-7, 17-44 Several years ago there was a headline in a Toronto Newspaper which read: "Dead Man Walks into His Own Funeral." Apparently, Dan Squires had walked off his job as a welder without telling anyone where he was going. He had been missing ...read more

    Like Lazarus we sometimes become dead spiritually and must rely on Christ to free us from the death and bondage of the world

    This is a familiar story that we all know, Jesus raising His friend Lazerus from the dead. Some of us have learned our first Bible verse from this text; Jesus Wept. As Jesus reaches Bethany his friend Lazarus has been in the tomb four days now. People are still mourning and as Jesus is arriving ...read more

    A short sermon concerning Jesus' tears, written for All Saints Sunday.

    I’m a Saints fan, and sometimes I like to turn down the sound on the TV and turn up the sound on the radio, and listen to the radio broadcast from the Saints broadcasting network. It makes for a much more fan friendly broadcast to listen to the “home” team announcers on game day. ...read more

    A sermon on death, friendship, and friendship with God

    We begin with a friendship. “Jesus”, we read, “loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus”. Mary is the one who broke all social convention and annointed Jesus’s feet with perfume and wiped them with her hair. He is clearly close to her sister Martha and her brother ...read more

    The Smell Will Be Awful!

    Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 7, 2014

    When we have faith we aren’t afraid of what is on the other side. Sure, some might say, “the smell will be awful.” But what we know has nothing to do with a smell. We know, what waits on the other side of the stone is the power of Almighty God.

    Our sense of smell can be one of the most powerful of all our senses. The sense of smell can the most powerful of all our senses. It can generate good feelings like chocolate chip cookies or fresh bread baking. When we were living in Tyler I loved to walk in the mall at Christmas time. There was a ...read more

    Do Not Let Your Heart Be Troubled

     | 14,290 views

    Worry is dangerous. Worry can weaken your spirit, soul and body. John 10:10 tells us that the devil is out to destroy; this is his mission in life. Worry is a perfect tool for him to carry out this mission.

    Text: Luke 10:38-41 It is natural or part of human nature to be concerned about unpleasant situations in our lives, family, church and nation. For example, in 1 Samuel 10:2, the Bible tells us that when the donkeys of Kish the father of Saul, were missing and he sent Saul to go and look for them, ...read more

    Contributed by Calvary Callender on Jul 8, 2010

     | 7,955 views

    Sometimes we as Christians get distracted by things in our lives. This sermon takes a look at Mary's statement of belief in Jesus and then withdrawing from that statement when she is distracted by her surroundings.

    Introduction: When I was in 6th grade all of my friends were getting girlfriends and I wanted to have one too. The only problem was that all the girls I liked already had a boyfriend. There was one girl that ran around in the same group as I did and her name was Tina. I remember Tina very well, ...read more

    Mary & Martha said that Lazarus was the one whom Jesus loved. But how could Jesus treat a friend like He did? Why would He callously stay away while this close friend died... and He could have prevented it?

    OPEN: “How many of you know the name of the brother of Mary and Martha who Jesus raised from the dead?” (most of the audience raised their hand). Who was it? Lazarus. Read text: John 11:1-47 followed by prayer. ILLUS: A few years back I read a story about a may village in southwest ...read more

    The Stone, The Stink, And The Glory Of God

    Remembrance Sunday, 1989: For us to see the glory of God in the face of death means that we have to move some obstacles and we have to live into the bitterness of what might have been; but then the great "Come Forth" can be heard.

    At Easter it was not hard to think and to sing of the glory of God, was it? Not hard at all to imagine that God’s in His heaven, all’s right with the world. Triumphant music played, pronouncements came forth about victory and power and honor to our God. It was not hard at Easter to dwell on the ...read more

    We all have emotions as did Jesus, Mary and Martha.

    Text: Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died” (John 11:21). When that verse is isolated one gets the feeling that Martha is casting blame on Jesus because His absence brought about the death of her brother Lazarus. You can almost feel the emotion of ...read more
