John 11:1-45

 

When writer Robert Louis Stevenson “was a young boy growing up in Edinburgh, Scotland, he would often watch the village lamplighter making his rounds, lighting each of the street lamps one by one. Supposedly Stevenson once said, ‘Look, there is a man who punches holes in the darkness.’” -Paul Wadell, Becoming Friends

When do you feel despair?

What causes you to have a complete lack of hope?

How often do you conclude something is over long before it's over?

What is binding you when you could instead be set free?

Join us this Morning as we ponder these questions and more through the witness of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. It's a powerful story of a dead man who is brought to life. Is it too good to be true? Or might Jesus also be trying to unbind us and set us free?
