When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, it didn’t just inspire worship—it ignited outrage. Some believed. Others plotted murder. Why? Because the real trouble wasn’t Jesus… it was the religious people who felt threatened by Him.

In this sermon from John 11:45–57, we confront an uncomfortable truth: sometimes we are the trouble. When faith becomes about control, comfort, or reputation, the presence of Jesus disrupts everything. The greatest opposition to God’s work doesn’t always come from the world—but from those who think they’re protecting religion.

Are we more concerned with preserving our systems than proclaiming the Savior?

Join us as we examine how fear, power, and misplaced priorities can turn religious people into opponents of God—and how Jesus still moves forward with His redemptive plan, even through human resistance.
