Fifth Sunday in Lent

The Rev. Emily Boring This sermon reflects on grief, resurrection, and divine love through the story of Lazarus. While Christian tradition offers powerful language for mourning, faith does not remove the pain of loss. Like Mary and Martha, we are invited to bring honest grief before God. Jesus reframes resurrection not as a distant future event but as a present reality grounded in relationship with God. The sermon concludes that death, while painful, often reveals the depth of love—and that love ultimately endures beyond death because it is rooted in God.
