About this listen
Welcome to the St Andrews in the Grange sermon podcast from Guernsey.
This sermon was preached on Sunday, 22 February 2026, and is based on John 11:1-44, the story of Lazarus's raising.
In this powerful and deeply human passage, we encounter Jesus amid grief. Before the stone is moved, before Lazarus walks out, Jesus stands at the tomb of his friend and weeps. The story does not rush past sorrow. It lingers there. It allows anger, confusion and heartbreak to be named.
This sermon reflects on what it means to follow a Christ who does not avoid suffering but enters into it. We explore the delay that feels so difficult, the questions Martha and Mary carry, and the extraordinary moment when Jesus calls Lazarus by name. We consider how resurrection is not only about life after death, but about life breaking in now. About being called out of whatever entombs us. About communities learning to unbind one another.
As we journey through Lent, this text invites us to trust that love is stronger than despair, and that even in places that feel sealed and hopeless, God is still at work.

Grace and peace.
