Raising Lazarus

What do you do when God doesn’t come through the way you thought He would?

In John 11, Mary and Martha are facing the unthinkable—their brother Lazarus is dead. They know Jesus can heal… but He doesn’t show up in time. And in that moment, they’re not questioning if He can—they’re questioning why He didn’t.

This message speaks to anyone walking through disappointment, pain, or unanswered prayers. Because sometimes God’s love doesn’t look like immediate intervention—it looks like waiting, silence, or something we don’t understand.

But what if God isn’t absent… just working in a way we can’t yet see?

Jesus reveals something deeper in this story—not just that He can heal, but that He is the resurrection and the life. And sometimes, what feels like the end is actually where God does His greatest work.
