In this sermon from John 11, Pastor Andrey leads us through one of the most emotionally rich and theologically profound chapters in the Gospel of John—the raising of Lazarus from the dead. With pastoral warmth and careful exposition, he unpacks the beauty, sorrow, timing, and triumph found in Jesus’ actions and words.

We’re invited to see the compassion of Christ as He weeps with His friends, the sovereign timing of God in seasons of confusion, and the resurrection power of Jesus that brings life from death. Pastor Andrey asks penetrating questions: What do we hold onto when everything seems to fall apart? Do we trust in God’s timing even when it doesn’t make sense?

Walking through the chapter in three parts —

Death and Life to the Glory of God (vv. 1–27)

Life and the Defeat of Death by the Power of God (vv. 28–44)

Unbelief and Animosity Toward the Son of God (vv. 45–57) —

he shows how this miracle is not merely a story of one man raised, but a preview of the cross, and a picture of our salvation.
