Description
When Jesus shows up, dead comes to life. In the book of John, we read the miraculous story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. As Jesus called to his friend, Lazarus rose from his grave, breathing, moving — fully alive — and yet still bound by the clothes he was buried in. Before stepping into the new life that Jesus called him to, he first had to step out of the old. Is it possible that, like Lazarus, we too are still bound? Held back by fear, or pride, or shame. Wrapped up in sin, or hurt, or anger, or unforgiveness. Jesus has so much more in mind for those he calls back to life. Are you ready to step out of your grave clothes and into the fullness and freedom that God desires for you? In this new 6-session study, author Ryan McDermott invites us to shed the old life that has held us back and fully embrace the newness of life that Christ has made possible. Jesus died, not just so that we could have life, but so that we might be unbound and step into a new identity: holy, loved, chosen, and free.
