“Reference to Lazarus being sick on his deathbed and Jesus waiting two more days before going to him.”

RLA Sunday Service - 7/19/2026 - Jose Rivera

Restoration L.A. - Live StreamJul 2026

Jose Rivera preaches from Mark 1–2 on removing religious lenses that distort how we see God, urging the church to embrace Jesus’ grace, preach the Word boldly, and practice faith that brings healing and forgiveness. Using the paralytic and other Gospel stories, he contrasts Jesus’ authority and mercy with the obstructive spirit of religious tradition and calls the congregation to authentic faith, community support, and mission-minded action.

Rig Church | HoustonJun 2026

Pastor Shane teaches that seasons of shaking or 'sifting' are not proof of failure but are God’s process to remove what cannot go with you (the chaff) and reveal and strengthen what can (the wheat). Using Peter's denial and a contemporary testimony, he emphasizes that Jesus prays for our faith to survive the sifting, and gives practical steps—recognize lies, replace them with truth, engage community, pray and take thoughts captive. The sermon invites listeners to return to God, receive prayer, join community, and continue in faithful living (including generosity and evangelism).

His Plan - Palm Sunday 2025 | Pastor Steve Wilburn | John 11 | Core Church LA

Core Church LAMay 2025

Pastor Steve Wilburn's Palm Sunday message "His Plan" (John 11–12) explains how Jesus intentionally delays, demonstrates costly devotion, and receives public praise as part of God's redemptive purpose. Using Lazarus' resurrection, Mary's costly anointing, and the triumphal entry, he shows that God's timing displays glory, true worship costs, and public acclaim can be fleeting. The sermon issues a call to repentance, invites attenders to Good Friday and Easter services, and offers new-believer resources.

Resurrection Sunday with Phil Dooley †=♥ | Hillsong Church Online

Hillsong ChurchApr 2023

Phil Dooley's Resurrection Sunday message teaches that believers are 'resurrection people'—called to allow Jesus to roll away the stones covering the dark, dead places in our lives so his light can bring standing up and recovery. Using the story of Lazarus, he draws four practical insights: see God's bigger purpose, expect both hope and controversy, pursue deep relationships, and keep moving forward. The sermon concludes with an invitation to respond, a reading of Psalm 23, and an offer of a New Testament.
