Letting Lazarus Die
May 25, 2025 • Dr. John S. Waldrip
This sermon tackles the decline of traditional wisdom in parenting due to cultural shifts, urging churches and mature women to guide younger generations. It emphasizes training children to respect boundaries and authority, using the biblical story of Lazarus’ death and resurrection (John 11) to explore why Jesus allowed suffering. It offers nine reasons—God’s sovereignty, omniscience, and love, among others—to help believers understand loss, trust God’s plan, and avoid questioning His motives. Ideal for those seeking biblical insights on parenting, grief, and faith in God’s purposes.
