John 11:38-44
38 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39 “Remove the stone,” Jesus said.
Martha, the dead man’s sister, told him, “Lord, there is already a stench because he has been dead four days.”
40 Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” 41 So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you heard me. I know that you always hear me, but because of the crowd standing here I said this, so that they may believe you sent me.”
43 After he said this, he shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 The dead man came out bound hand and foot with linen strips and with his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and let him go.”

(Use the Church Center App)
1) What blessed you the most from Sunday’s message?
2) In John 11:40, Jesus reminds Martha that she would see God’s glory if she believed. What does it mean to have faith that goes beyond merely acknowledging God’s existence and instead allows us to witness His glory in our lives?
3) When Jesus prays aloud in John 11:41-42, He does so not for His own benefit but for the people’s sake. What does this reveal about the role of prayer in witnessing God’s power and glory?
4) Jesus calls Lazarus out of the tomb by name (John 11:43). How does this reflect God’s intimate knowledge and care for each one of us? What might this teach us about His desire for a personal relationship with us?
5) Take a moment to reflect on a time when you experienced God’s miraculous intervention or saw His hand at work in your life. Share with your group how looking back on that experience encouraged you to trust Him in your current circumstances.
6) Pray for each other and for people in your life that need to hear the Gospel.
