In this week's sermon from Shepherd of the Hills, we delve into the familiar story of Lazarus being raised from the dead. However, instead of just focusing on the miraculous event itself, the sermon takes a closer look at the events leading up to it. It explores the idea of how we often react to news of illness or tragedy in our lives and how we can learn from Jesus' response in this story. Rather than rushing to Lazarus' side when he first hears of his friend's illness, Jesus stays put for two more days before finally deciding to go to Judea. The preacher challenges us to consider how we react to difficult situations in our own lives and encourages us to follow Jesus' example of having faith and trusting in God's plan. Listen in to gain a fresh perspective on this timeless story and discover how you can apply its lessons to your faith journey, learning how like Jesus with his friend Lazarus, to choose life!
