Have you ever watched God stand at the edge of your impossible situation and wondered why He doesn't just fix it? When Jesus stood at Lazarus's tomb, He didn't rush to solve the problem - He wept first. This powerful message reveals a God who isn't distant or cold, but one who chooses to walk through your mess with compassion before moving in miraculous power. Discover why you have to risk a mess to expect a miracle, and what's stopping you from moving the stone God is asking you to move.🎯 What You'll Learn:Why Jesus wept even though He knew He was about to raise Lazarus from the deadHow love is always a choice that costs something, not just an emotion or feelingWhy Jesus gets angry at death itself and what that reveals about His missionThe simple three-step formula God uses throughout the Bible: take it to Jesus, choose to believe, move the rockHow God intentionally architects situations to be more impossible so you know it was HimWhy even after God raises you to life, you need others to help you walk in freedomWhat it means to stop telling Jesus what He can't do and start living like He's actually God🔥 This Message Is For You If:You're treating impossible situations with logic instead of expectationYou've written something off as too far gone for God to restoreYou need permission to believe God can actually do the impossible in your lifeYou're stuck between wanting to expect God's power and your rational mind saying He can'tYou're trying to fix everything yourself instead of taking it to JesusYou don't realize how scandalous God's love really is - that He knows everything and loves you anywayYou need others to help unbind you from old habits even after God saves you📖 Key Bible Passages:John 11:28-44, Judges 6, Romans 10:9-10💬 Discussion Starters:What are you treating with logic instead of expectation right now?What have you written off as impossible that you need to give to Jesus?Who in your life helps "unbind" you from old patterns after God raises you to new life?Where are you telling Jesus what He can't do instead of believing He's the God of the impossible?What small act of obedience is God asking you to do while you wait for the miracle?#RiskAMess #ExpectAMiracle #GodOfTheImpossible #JesusWept #FaithOverLogic #BiblicalMiracles #TrustingGod #MovingTheStone #ChristianFaith #ResurrectionPower(0:00) Dietrich Bonhoeffer - Only the Suffering God Can Help(1:19) Series Introduction - What If There's More(2:48) Big Idea - Risk a Mess to Expect a Miracle(3:39) John 11:28-32 - Mary Falls at Jesus's Feet(5:30) Deeply Moved - Jesus Gets Angry at Death Itself(7:29) John 11:35 - Jesus Wept (Shortest Verse Biggest Meaning)(9:19) Jesus Isn't Distant - He Has a Gentle and Lowly Heart(10:30) Love Is a Choice Not an Emotion - Welcoming Our First Foster Child(12:39) His Grace Is More Scandalous Than Your Sin(13:57) Oh How He Loves Us - Worship Moment(15:41) Take Away the Stone - But Lord It's Going to Smell(17:09) Stop Telling Jesus What He Can't Do(18:19) The God of the Impossible - Business Is Good(19:30) Judges 6 - Gideon's 300 vs 135,000 Soldiers(22:25) They Moved the Stone - Simple Obedience Before Miracles(23:36) Lazarus Come Out - The Power of His Voice(25:25) Still Clothed in Death - Unbind Him and Let Him Go(26:26) I Need Christ and I Need His Church(28:16) The Gospel Formula - Take It to Jesus Choose to Believe Move the Rock(29:27) Prayer for Salvation - Surrendering to Jesus(31:19) Challenge Questions - Logic vs Expectation(32:31) Stop Trying to Fix It Yourself - Actually Pray(33:29) Rededicating Your Life to Pursuing Christ
