First APOLOGIES! Our pastor's lapel mic fell for the first 3 minutes, before we realized it and he fixed it.

Second, today's scripture is about Lazarus dying. In our community, congregation, and nation, death has come very close to us just this week. How did Jesus respond in the face of death? How did Jesus reply to the others around him who were angry, grieving, confused by death? In today's text, we uncover a 6th stage of grief... Hope... and we pray this image of stones being rolled away stays with you whenever the shadows of death come near. Rev. Joel Tolbert preaching John 11
