The sermon by Pastor is based upon John 11:32-44. Jesus, the Good Shepherd calls Lazarus by name and he comes out of the place of death. Verse 44 tells us: “the dead man came out." But the dead man was still bound. It’s amazing what happens next. Rather than simply making his grave clothes disappear; the Lord, instead, calls the community to unbind the man who had been held captive by the grip of death. Although Jesus himself starts the process, the Lord counts on us to complete the restoration to new life! Amen!
