About this sermon

In this insightful message, *Bishop Keith W. Reed, Sr.* takes us on a deeper journey into the familiar account of **Lazarus in John 11–12**. While many know the story of Lazarus' death and resurrection, Bishop Reed offers a **fresh perspective** on what it reveals about **God’s timing, divine delay, grief, and glory**. Through the lens of *Martha and Mary’s heartbreak*, we discover a powerful truth: **Jesus is not late—He’s strategic**. Bishop Reed unpacks the frustration of waiting on God, especially when He doesn't show up the way we expect. Martha questions Jesus’ love. Mary grieves. And in the midst of it all, Jesus reveals that **He is the resurrection—not just for the future, but for the present**. With pastoral care and theological depth, Bishop Reed addresses our moments of confusion, pain, and delayed answers. He reminds us that God's silence is not absence, and His delays are not denials. The miracle of Lazarus was not just about life after death, but **God’s glory revealed in His perfect timing**. --- **📖 KEY SCRIPTURES:** * *John 11:21* – “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” * *John 11:25* – “I am the resurrection and the life...” * *John 12:2–3* – Mary anointed Jesus’ feet with perfume * *Romans 8:28* – “All things work together for good…” --- **📲 FOLLOW US ON:** 🌐 Website – [thesbc.org](https://thesbc.org) 📘 Facebook – Sharon Baptist Church 📸 Instagram – [@thesbcphilly](https://instagram.com/thesbcphilly) 📺 YouTube – Sharon Baptist Church of Philadelphia --- **💒 TO GIVE OFFERING OR DONATION:** 🌐 Online – [thesbc.org/giving](https://thesbc.org/giving) 📱 Text – “give” to 610-379-3818 📬 Mail –  Sharon Baptist Church Business Office  3955 Conshohocken Ave  Philadelphia, PA 19131 --- **🔔 LIKE | SHARE | SUBSCRIBE** If this message helped you understand God’s timing in your life, **LIKE** this video, **SHARE** it with someone going through a waiting season, and **SUBSCRIBE** to our channel for more sermons that will build your faith and grow your understanding of Scripture. --- **#Hashtags:** \#BishopKeithWReedSr #Lazarus #DivineDelay #GodsTiming #FaithInTheWaiting #John11 #JesusIsTheResurrection #FreshWord #SBCPhilly #SharonBaptistChurch #ChristianTeaching #HopeInGrief #BibleSermon #FaithOverFear #GodWillShowUp --- 🙌 **God may not come when you want Him—but He’s always on time.**
