In this message we continue our journey through the Gospel of John with a powerful look at John 11 and the story of Lazarus. Through Mary, Martha, Lazarus, and Jesus, we are reminded that waiting on God is not passive. Waiting is active trust.
When Jesus delayed coming to Lazarus, it may have looked like neglect, but it was actually part of a greater purpose. God’s delays are not denials. In the waiting, He builds our faith, strengthens our trust, removes what holds us back, and prepares us to see His glory in a greater way.
If you are waiting on a breakthrough, praying for a loved one, believing for healing, or trusting God in a difficult season, this message will encourage you to hold on to Jesus. He is faithful, He is present, and He is the resurrection and the life.
At Focal Point Church, we believe God is taking ordinary people and making extraordinary difference-makers through faith and community.
