John: Jesus is the Resurrection
Andrew Allison · Listen
Sermon Questions John 11:1-44
- How do funerals make you feel? Have you ever buried a loved one? What was that like for you?
- Jesus was told Lazarus was sick and he ‘stayed where he was 2 more days.’ Why didn’t Jesus go right away and heal him?
- Both sisters tell Jesus, “If you’d been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.” Have you ever felt like God let you down?
- Explain what Jesus meant when he said He is the Resurrection and the Life.
- Raising Lazarus is the last sign (miracle) John records. The implication is this sign sealed his (Jesus’) death. “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” Do you believe Jesus laid his life down for you? What does that mean to you in your day-to-day living?

Psalm 131 - The Psalms of Ascent have it all: anguish, anger, encouragement, and wild joy. Psalm 131 is all about contentment. Where does contentment come from? What ruins it? What does it feel like? How can I be content in an age where marketing, social media and mirrors breed discontent?
Psalm 133 - The Psalms of Ascent were songs for the journey—worshippers sang them as they travelled together toward Jerusalem and the Temple. These Psalms give voice to the sorts of things that go through worshippers' hearts as they prepare to worship.
