Roll Away The Stone | Dr. Gail Stathis | April 19, 2026

from River City Christian Center | Sermon of the Week · host River City Christian Center

Dr. Gail Stathis is a missionary and pastor with EME Ministries, serving the Middle East and Greece. She brings a powerful, deeply personal message for anyone walking through uncertainty, unanswered prayer, grief, or spiritual dryness. Drawing from John 11 and the resurrection of Lazarus, Gail unpacks why Jesus delayed, what that delay meant for everyone watching, and what it means for you today. This message is built around three biblical and practical anchors for unstable times: Trust God's Word before you see His hand move, God sees further into your situation than you can, and God will always do His part — but not your part. When Lazarus's tomb was sealed, Jesus didn't roll the stone away himself. He told them to do it. Roll the stone away. That's the part only you can do. Doubt, fear, grief, a prayer you've nearly abandoned — those are the stones. You roll them. He does the impossible. Recorded on April 19, 2026 at River City Christian Center
