Discover how to shift your mindset from seeking happiness through external circumstances to finding joy in your relationship with Jesus.

Scripture: John 11:20–21, 23–27; 1 Corinthians 15:20, 22–23; John 11:26–27 Despite Jesus predicting it over and over again, eyewitnesses were shocked to learn God had raised Jesus from the dead. And what God did for Jesus, he can do for you. In this powerful exploration of Easter's meaning, we're challenged to confront the unexpected nature of Jesus' resurrection. The central story of Lazarus' raising from the dead serves as a profound setup for Christ's own resurrection, demonstrating His power over death itself. This isn't just about believing in a concept, but trusting in Jesus Himself as 'the resurrection and the life.' We're reminded that the disciples, despite witnessing miracles, didn't expect the resurrection - a humbling parallel to our own doubts and uncertainties. The message emphasizes that our faith isn't based on blind belief, but on historical events documented by eyewitnesses. This perspective invites us to approach our faith journey with both heart and mind, understanding that even in our moments of doubt, we're in good company with the original disciples. The resurrection offers us a guarantee - not just of life after death, but of God's power to forgive sin, heal hurts, and ultimately make all things new. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.
