Summary

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach shares a deeply moving sermon titled “Everything’s Better When You’re Here,” wrapping up the “We Want You Here” series with a powerful word from John chapter 11. Through the story of Lazarus, we see how Jesus brings not only resurrection power but also compassionate presence. Before He raised Lazarus, Jesus wept. He showed us that His presence is everything even before the miracle. Pastor Chad challenges us to stop living numb and start leaning into healing. Whether you're walking through grief, loss, or uncertainty, this message reminds you: Jesus shows up first with presence, then with power. Don’t pursue results pursue relationship. And when Jesus is in the room, everything gets better. At Zoe, our mission is simple: People Saved, Disciples Made, Leaders Raised, and The Church Released. Through every service, we seek to share the love and hope of Jesus, impact lives, and see transformation in communities in Los Angeles and around the world.
