I AM the Resurrection and the Life: Jesus' Power Over the Grave | 27/4/25

In this moving sermon, Pastor Mark concludes our eight-week series on the "I Am" statements of Jesus in John's Gospel with the profound declaration: "I am the resurrection and the life." Through the emotional story of Lazarus' death and resurrection, Mark explores how Jesus transforms our understanding of death from a theological concept into a personal encounter with the living Christ. The sermon honestly addresses the tension Christians face when praying for healing, acknowledging our questions while pointing to Jesus who wept before conquering death. Mark reminds listeners that our faith isn't built on abstract ideas but on a relationship with the One who defeated the grave. With compelling illustrations including the story of Arthur Stace writing "Eternity" across Sydney, this message offers hope that transcends mortality and invites everyone to experience resurrection life today. flbc.org.au
