    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

    We can't study death or observe it or try it out to see how it feels. No, from our earthly perspective we can't possibly understand all we want to about death. Jesus had a lot to say about this enemy we all face.

    The death of Lazarus gave Jesus the opportunity to reveal Himself as the resurrection and the life. From what I see, there were seven purposes for Lazarus’ death.

    We are going to spend 6 weeks in the 11th chapter of the Gospel of John. There are 6 great lessons that we can learn from Lazarus’ death and Jesus raising him from the dead. The death of Lazarus gave Jesus the opportunity to reveal Himself as the resurrection and the life. From what I see, there ...read more

    The Day Jesus Wept Series

    Odd things about this story: Why does the Bible tells us "Jesus wept"? And why didn’t Jesus "show up" a few days earlier and make sure Lazarus didn’t die? Why allow this close personal friend to die, and allow his friends and family to mourn?

    OPEN: Back in March of 2008, the mayor of a city in SW France had a problem. It seems his village was running out of space. Not in housing, nor in the retail district, nor even at City Hall. It seems they were running out of space… in the cemetery. There was no room for any more graves. It was ...read more

    The story of the raising of Lazarus and the hope that awaits us all.

    The story of Lazarus is one of the most human in the New Testament. We are touched by several emotions. Here is a family that Jesus loves very deeply. Mary later shows her devotion by anointing Jesus’ feet with perfume and drying them with her hair. Their home was a respite from the ...read more

    One of the hardest things for Christians to do is to wait on God. The story of the resuscitation of Lazarus tells us many important things as we wait on God in what we think is a hopeless situation.

    John 11:1-45 “When God Delays” INTRODUCTION One of the most difficult situations in the Christian life is when God remains silent to our prayers. Faye and I have good friends who have two teenagers. Their son has been diagnosed with ADD, and he has been treated for this ...read more

    Jesus is calling us to believe and live for him beyond the power of reason to believe

    INTRO The French philosopher Voltaire once said: “Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.” Voltaire spoke of a form of faith that lives, breathes, and moves beyond the ordinary, to the extraordinary. In like manner, Dale Carnegie spoke of a ...read more

    Jesus is so much more than a friend, a miracle worker.....He is the resurrection and the Life...

    Text: John 11:1-45 v. 5 “Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.” I’m thinking that Jesus had a lot of friends back in his day, I mean he had healed lots of people, complete strangers all over Judea and the surrounding area. Jesus, in just a couple of years time had ...read more

    Duty and devotion are both necessary but there must be a balance. A balance where neither one would hinder us from exhibiting the other.

    Last time we were together we looked at the famous story of Mary and Martha. We concluded that the Lord wants us to be like Mary in our worship, and like Martha in our work. Duty and devotion are both necessary but there must be a balance. A balance where neither one would hinder us from ...read more

    Do you give GOD the glory for the good things in life, but are tempted to rebuke the DEVIL when things get tough? Chances are, you are suffering from the ancient heresy called DUALISM!

    In-between time is difficult....time between the promise claimed and the promised confirmed. We know He can, but He hasn’t yet. You have been there, and so have I. It is during this time when you can get discouraged.

    John 11:1-6 17, 21,32a The "IN-BETWEEN" TIME Strange story. Jesus receives word that Lazarus is sick. This is his friend in whose home Jesus stayed so often. "abode two days still in the same place where he was." He is waiting for Lazarus to die. Seems strange.....delay was a delay of love ...read more
