    Morning Follows Mourning

    Christ prepares His disciples for his death and resurection in concert with the story of Lazurus.

    The sermon today is from John 11, the first 45 verses. If you really want, I will read it, but I think it best if I paraphrase it a little. Jesus is with his disciples a couple of weeks, maybe a month before Passover when he gets word from his friends Mary and Martha that their brother Lazurus ...read more

    Believe, And See The Glory Of God

    Jesus makes big promises, and we struggle to believe in the midst of our troubles and setbacks of life. Jesus gives us the strength to believe, and fills us with the hope of seeing God's glory someday.

    How quick are you to believe big promises? I think there’s a certain part of all of us that’s a little hesitant, a little skeptical, to believe every promise that we hear. Have you ever believed a promise, only to have that promise broken? “I promise you that we will give you ...read more

    As we stand like Martha in the road, struggling with the messes, pain, grief, and thoughts of "if only..." Christ meets us, he weeps with us, and he shows us a new way of life and hope.

    A few years ago when I was living in Washington, DC, and working part-time at a church in Alexandria, Virginia, I did a ride-along with an Alexandria police officer on an early morning shift one Saturday. Most of the morning was uneventful. We drove through the parking lots at the cheap hotels ...read more

    Our innate destiny is union with God, and it is celebrated and effected in Eucharist, during which we bless each other many times.

    5th Sunday of Lent 2011 The Spirit of the Liturgy The great Christian author, C.S. Lewis, wrote an appendix to his masterful little book Screwtape Letters. In his moral tale, Screwtape is the name given to a kind of middle-management demon, who is responsible for training and supervising the evil ...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 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

    The Day Jesus Wept Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 22, 2012
    based on 207 ratings
     | 66,027 views

    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

    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.

    Learn to wait...

    This evening, I want to share with you a journey that I’ve been on over the last year. There have been a lot of unknowns in me life after that and it’s been a real struggle at times for me, but God has been teaching me to wait on Him. It hasn’t been easy, and I know He will continue to work on me, ...read more

    The Discipline Of Delay

    Contributed by Mark Wood on Jan 13, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,816 views

    Dr. Wood used this sermon to inform the congregation that often God uses delay in order to discipline us or steer us in the direction that He intends for the good of His kingdom.

    John 11:1–46 INTRODUCTION: Too often, we worry when we should wait, and we resist when we should resign. Often God’s delays are explained in that God wishes to teach us our need of patience (see Hebrews 10:36). In our text, Lazarus was on his deathbed and yet Jesus delayed (see vv. 1–6). ...read more

    Faith Is More

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Mar 12, 2007
    based on 27 ratings
     | 3,030 views

    I’m calling God’s people in my care to develop a faith in Jesus that goes beyond mental assent (belief) to include emotional reliance (trust) and active obedience (loyalty).

    Introduction: The Bible tells us that "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6). The Bible says, "The righteous will live by faith" (Romans 1:17). That makes me think that faith is very important -- even vital. But what is faith? The Bible commands us to "stand firm in the ...read more
