    Like it or not, death intrudes on our lives all the time -- our friends die, our loved ones, and eventually death comes to claim our lives. Jesus says he is the resurrection -- that if we believe in him, even if we die, we will live. But do we really be

    Jesus calls us to faith that gives up everything to follow him. Nothing less will do. Ultimately, you are either with him or against him. There is no other option.

    John 11:47-48 What do you believe about Jesus determines what you do with him. Two shopkeepers were bitter rivals. Their stores were directly across the street from each other, and they would spend each day keeping track of each other’s business. If one got a customer, he would smile in triumph ...read more

    If Jesus could raise Lazarus from the dead, why can’t I live better under that same power?

    God works behind the scenes. Caiaphas the high priest’s plan to eliminate Christ became part of God’s design to redeem the world. God continues to work through us too as the body of Christ to bring about his ultimate purpose.

    Let Christ Bring A Resolution Jn. 11:47-53 There’s always a resolution for your problems. Things can and do come together after all.

     | 27,812 views

    Jesus involved the people in the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead by asking them to do 2 things: "remove the grave clothes" and "loose him and let him go". These words have practical application for us today.

    Removing Stones Instead of Casting Stones John 11:38-48 38Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39“Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been ...read more
