     | 18,914 views

    Sometimes we get so busy for the Lord that we lose what is most important: that quiet time before the Lord. Mary and Martha show us a contrast in devotion and distraction, and challenge us to keep Christ first.

    Luke 10:38-42 Devoted or Distracted? My internet went out Friday, so I went through all the troubleshooting. And then it asked me, “Do you want me to reboot the router?” And I hit the “yes” button. By all means, reboot the router, if that will reconnect me with the ...read more

    This message is an Easter sermon about Jesus as the REz and the Life. How not only was He risen from the dead but He raised Lazarus from the dead to show us who He is and what He wants to do in our lives, even now!

    Who is this Jesus? John 11:17-44 Intro.: A. As we celebrate Easter there is a lot of things that come to mind: Eggs, Spring time, kids, candy, and of course we also think about Jesus.! B.

    An examination of the rich man and Lazarus helps us the understand the reality of hell and the fact that we don’t want anyone to go there.

    Unbind Him And Let Him Go (Fifth Sunday Of Lent 2017).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 3,828 views

    Through the lens of the miracle of Lazarus being raised from the dead, we can see how death can change our circumstances. Not only does death change our circumstances, but it challenges us in our faith.

    UNBIND HIM AND LET HIM GO Text: John 11:17 - 45 “A letter came from Health and Human Services to a resident of Greenville County, South Carolina: “Your food stamps will be stopped, effective March 1992, because we received notice that you passed away. May God bless you. You may ...read more

    “I am the resurrection and the life. ... everyone who lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25). Martha believed it ... and I hope and pray that when the New Jerusalem is ready and Jesus commands all who believe in Him to awaken from their sleep that you are there too, amen?

    Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem … to die … when He received word that His friend, Lazarus, was sick. Jesus’ reaction was strange. He didn’t rush off to Bethany to heal His friend. “This illness does not lead to death,” says Jesus, “rather it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be ...read more

     | 14,100 views

    When someone passes away unexpectedly, we often are left without knowing what to say. Through the story of Lazarus' death, we can see some things we can say when we do not know what to say.

    “What to Say When You Don’t Know What to Say” Introduction There are not many times when I am left speechless. I’m often told that I have a tendency to not be quiet and listen — that I actually talk too much. When I first heard of Debbie’s passing, however, I found myself without words to say. ...read more

    Why did Jesus stay at the Jordan while His sick friend, Lazarus, lay dying in Bethany? Maybe a story like this one was the reason.

    The Compassion of Your Savior John 11:31-32 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there. 32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she ...read more

     | 4,245 views

    Jesus spoke of a chasm between heaven and hell in His parable of Lazarus and the Rich man. Was the chasm meant as just a parable or does it really exist?

    The Grand Chasm Luke 16:19-31 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. The time ...read more

    When we recognize the presence of Jesus, it produces a change. To have the presence of Jesus is to be willing to endure rejection and persecution.

     | 1,686 views

    Jesus was willing... 1. To be betrayed by a false friend (vs. 45-50). 2. To be captured like a criminal (vs. 50, 55). 3. To express kindness to His enemies (vs. 51-52). 4. To suffer for the Scripture (vs. 52-56). 5. To be failed by His followers (vs. 56).

    In Matthew 26:26-29, in preparation for the Cross, Jesus’ institution of the new memorial consisted of three primary elements: 1) The Directive (vv. 26a, 27), 2) The Doctrine (vv. 26b, 28), and 3) The Duration (v 29).

    Matthew 26:26-29. 26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of ...read more

    Jesus' act of raising Lazarus from the dead is one of the most thrilling and wondrous passages in Scripture. It shows His undeniable authority over the last enemy of humanity and was a public display of His power.

    The ultimate state of helplessness is death. Once it overpowers you, regardless of age, status, education, health, or situation, you are in no state either to conquer its grip upon you, nor do you have any control over anything that you had considered valuable or precious, for none of it cannot ...read more
