Summary

If we're honest, most of us have probably experienced disappointment with God at some point in our lives. We question why God didn't cure our friend's cancer, or why he didn't provide for us financially when we really needed it. Pastor J.D. walks us through Jesus' claim to be the "resurrection and the life," from John 11. In Jesus' response to the death of Lazarus, and to the pain of those close to him, we find a Savior who not only weeps with us, but meets us in our moments of disappointment and doubt. And, ultimately, we have a Savior whose resurrection will one day mean the end of pain and death—forever.

Pastor J.D. shows us how Jesus responds to the death of Lazarus and to the pain of those

close to him. We'll find a Savior who not only weeps with us, but meets us in our moments

of disappointment and doubt. We are in our new teaching series titled,

1:11.0

I Am, and we learned today about Jesus' claim to be the resurrection and the life. Here's

Pastor Jady. Today signifies something that is absolutely outrageous that Christians

1:25.4

actually believe, and that is that an actual flesh and blood man was

1:30.6

placed in an actual grave for three actual days and then walked out of that grave and actual other

1:37.3

people saw him, touched him and ate with him. And then he ascended in front of their actual eyes

1:42.2

with his actual resurrection body into heaven,

1:44.6
