    Contributed by Brian Harvison on Nov 12, 2008
     | 3,138 views

    This is a story based on the death and reviving of Lazarus using selected scriptures

    Three Burials of Amad Lahem Lazarus Selected Scriptures This morning I want to tell you a story. While this story is partially based on actual events, some of it is what we call “poetic license”. This means I can say this is based on a true story and then make almost the whole thing up. The ...read more

    An attempt to show how Christ can identify with us in time of need. He took our sins and sorrows and made them his very own.

    Jesus Wept! Why? As we look to the word of God for comfort and instruction, I want to turn your attention to the shortest and one of the most beautiful verses in the Bible. “Jesus wept” ( John 11:35). Why those tears on the face of one who is the resurrection and the life and ...read more

    A sermon for All Saints Sunday.

    “God Refuses to Allow Death the Final Word” John 11:1-3, 17-27, 32-44 Revelation 21:1-6a There is a school of thought in some Christian circles that almost views death as so much of a blessing that you are not even allowed to cry… But in the Bible, death is an enemy, and it ...read more

    You see Martha said she believed in the resurrection, but she wasn’t expecting it to happen. Here she was in the presence of the Savior of the world, the one who had already raised from the dead a widow’s son and the daughter of a centurion, but she didn

    Sometimes men cry. It happens. A few years ago the BBC News blog posted an article called “80 more things that make men cry.” These were responses from men about circumstances that make them cry. Here’s a few of them. “Being told by the girl you love that she wants you ...read more

    When life goes from bad to worse, and then from worse to impossible, we are tempted to ask "Where is God in the midst of all this?" Come and discover God's heart for the hurting and find the hope that is only found in Jesus!

    Praising God Amidst the Impossible John 11:1-45 Hospital and Care Home Service – September 25, 2012 There are times in life when things go from bad to worse in the blink of an eye; times when a bad situation suddenly becomes seemingly impossible. Perhaps your “impossible” has ...read more

    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."

    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

    There should be no reason for us to be bound and closed behind a bolder in a tomb, dressed in Burial Clothes, unless we are spiritually dead. The question is this: How do I get rid of those burial clothes?

    INTRODUCTION Everyone got dressed this morning - Thankfully But it Takes time to get dressed – To choose what we are going to wear. Also the Clothes we wear reflects who we are.

    If you’ve lost all hope, trust Jesus with your life, and don’t be surprised by His delays, His devotion, and His deliverance when it finally does come. It will be far greater than anything you’ve ever asked for: a resurrection instead of a healing.

    John Ortberg, pastor of the Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California, talks about a friend of his, who used to work as a denominational official in Minnesota. One of his jobs was to travel to little rural communities where they didn't have churches to do funerals. He would go out with a funeral ...read more

    Jesus And The Power To Overcome Death

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 11, 2015
     | 5,653 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.
