When Lazarus Walked Out: Jesus, Power, and the Promise of Resurrection
Step into a Los Angeles Metro Sunday school where the ancient story of Lazarus breaks into the present. In this episode of "In God's Service," The Facilitator guides a warm, conversational class through John 11, transforming familiar scripture into a vivid moment: word arrives, Jesus delays with a purpose, Martha runs to meet Him, and the grief of Mary hangs heavy in a home near Jerusalem. The room is alive with questions, testimonies, and the kind of honest doubt that makes belief real. We follow the narrative beat by beat, Jesus’ deliberate wait, the cultural details of tombs and burial, the haunting belief that souls hover for three days, and then the climactic prayer where Jesus declares, "I am the resurrection and the life." The miracle that follows is not only a dramatic reversal of death but a lesson in God’s timing, the Trinity in action, and the power of faith. Listeners will feel the tension in Martha’s plea, the astonishment of the crowd, and the thunderous command: "Lazarus, come out!" Beyond the miracle, the episode turns to plainspoken theology: the difference between being raised and being resurrected, what a future glorified body means for believers, and how Christ’s resurrection anchors our hope. Personal testimonies and reflections bring it home; how God’s interventions in our lives point us toward trust, how prayer and perseverance matter, and why our lives should change because of what Jesus has done. Whether you’re re-examining old questions about death and eternity or searching for encouragement to live with purpose, this episode offers clear teaching, heartfelt prayer, and practical application. You’ll be invited to examine head, heart, and hands, grow in knowledge, confess what hinders your faith, and let resurrection hope reshape the way you live now. Listen in, and be reminded that the same voice that called Lazarus from the tomb still calls us into new life. Let's Go!

Where Is Your Faith? Lessons from the Boat to the Bowl
Join Facilitator Rev. Andrew Collins and a gathering of voices from Los Angeles as this episode unfolds like a lived parable, a community wrestling with delay, doubt, and a God who works on his own perfect timetable. Beginning with a simple question: "Where is your faith?" The lesson travels through personal testimonies, courtroom victories won after decades-long waiting, and the everyday struggles of patience in a microwave-mentality world. Characters in the conversation confess how fatigue, fear, and the enemy’s ceaseless attacks try to pull them off course, while elders and teachers gently redirect them with scripture and stories: Jesus feeding the 5,000 from five loaves and two fish, Job’s endurance, and Paul’s chains that became fuel for the Gospel. In vivid, conversational detail listeners will hear how prayer becomes a battlefield and a lifeline, how God answers "yes, no, or wait," and how waiting can be the refining fire that grows faith and builds character. The episode stitches together short testimonies and pastoral reflection into a single narrative arc: people learning to surrender plans, to let God be God, and to step into service when called. The crowd at the shore becomes a mirror for our own neighborhoods, hungry not only for bread but for healing, forgiveness, and direction, and the miraculous provision that overflows into twelve baskets of leftovers becomes a metaphor for God’s abundance when we trust. This episode invites listeners to imagine themselves in the story: sitting on the grass, hands full of the small portion given and finding it multiplied, or standing in the long waitroom of life, discovering that patience yields perseverance, character, and hope. Practical questions thread through the message, who do you trust with your needs, how will you make yourself available to God this week, and what heart issues keep you from believing? By the end you are left with an urgent, tender call to action: keep your armor on, stay in the Word, pray without ceasing, and let your life point others to Christ. The tone moves from honest struggle to sober encouragement, ending with prayer and the reassurance that God’s timing is precise and his provision more than sufficient.

I'm Him!
It’s late, the shoreline has vanished and the boat is pitching under a wind that seems determined to swallow the night. From a classroom in Los Angeles, the Facilitator Rev. Cliff Higgins takes you back to that Sea of Galilee moment right after Jesus feeds five thousand, where fear and worship collide. The disciples are beaten by waves, hearts pounding, when the impossible appears: a figure walking on water! Through the rhythm of scripture and the warmth of a Sunday school class, this episode unpacks the calling of the 4th watch; the quiet, sacred hours between 3 and 6 AM, when God’s most strategic interventions have often begun. You’ll ride the narrative with Peter as he hears Jesus’ single-word invitation, climbs out of the safety of the boat, and begins to walk on water. For a moment, bold faith carries him across the sea; then taking his focus from Jesus, glancing at the storm, he begins to sink. There's a nugget right there! Rev. Higgins and the class turn that ancient scene into a mirror for our lives: the debts that feel like deep water, the medical alarms that jolt us awake, the upcoming elections, and storms of the world that can weigh us down and cause despair. Yet in the thunder of anxiety comes powerful words that can change everything: "Have courage." "It is I." "Don’t be afraid." The voice is not a platitude but the Great I Am, the one who created the sea and stills the wind. "Him" Jesus Christ! More than doctrine, this episode becomes practical formation. You’ll hear Rev . Higgins' plea for solitude prayer, a temporary withdrawal from noise to listen starting with five or fifteen minutes and growing into transformative hours. There’s honest confession about cell phones, morning routines, and the way quiet moments carve out room for God to speak. As the story reaches its climax, Jesus’ hand pulls Peter from the verge of drowning. The wind stops. The disciples worship. The classroom exhales with the same realization: Jesus is both human companion and divine rescuer. Worship becomes the natural response to being saved, and faith the only posture that lets you step out of the boat. This episode invites you into a narrative, not just a lesson: to recognize the storms, to get up in the fourth watch if God rouses you, to answer the call to come, and to keep your eyes on Jesus when the storms of life come and the waves roar. Whether you are deeply seasoned in faith or simply curious, you’ll leave with a challenge; start small in solitude prayer, trust the hand that reaches for you, and let worship rise from the place of rescue. Walk with this class, through laughter, testimony, and hard questions about doubt, and let the closing prayer minister to you: "be of good cheer, have courage, it is I, don’t be afraid." This episode of In God’s Service re-tells an ancient rescue so you can meet the one who rescues you today. Jesus Christ; "I'm Him"!

Water to Wine, The Miracle That Revealed His Glory
Jesus’ first miracle was not just about provision, it was about revelation. In this powerful episode of In God’s Service, the class, facilitated by Rev Cliff Higgins, examines John 2 and the turning of water into wine at Cana, showing how this moment revealed the glory of Christ and stirred belief in His disciples. The lesson explains why this miracle matters, not simply because it was supernatural, but because it unveiled Jesus’ identity, divine authority, and purpose. The discussion also explores how signs and miracles in Scripture are meant to draw attention to the character and power of God, not just the event itself. With warmth and clarity, the class walks through the setting, the symbolism, the need, and the response, pointing believers back to the truth that Jesus still reveals His glory through what He does in our lives. If you have ever needed reassurance that Christ is more than a teacher, more than a moral example, and truly the Son of God, this episode will strengthen your faith.

How Jesus Defeated Temptation, And What We Must Learn
Temptation is not proof that you are failing, it is often the very place where faith must stand. In this compelling episode of In God’s Service, the class walks through Luke 4 and the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness, showing how Christ faced the devil without sin and without compromise. This lesson is both theological and deeply practical. It reminds believers that Jesus understands human weakness, spiritual pressure, hunger, testing, and the pull to take shortcuts outside of God’s will. Yet instead of debating the enemy, Jesus answered with Scripture and stayed fully submitted to the Father. That truth becomes the heart of the message, believers do not overcome temptation by cleverness, emotion, or self-confidence, but by the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and daily dependence on Him. If you have been wrestling with temptation, fatigue, distraction, or spiritual compromise, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and biblical direction. Listen now, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs strength to stand.

God’s Blessings Start With the Breath You Took Today
Before you ask for another blessing, consider this, waking up this morning was one. This heartfelt episode of In God’s Service reminds listeners that God’s grace is not only found in miracles, but in the simple, daily gifts we often overlook, breath, movement, sight, sound, life, and another chance to walk with Him. Rooted in the book of Malachi, this lesson moves from gratitude to conviction, showing how God blesses His people daily while also calling them to holiness, faithfulness, and deeper commitment. The discussion urges believers not to take God’s mercy for granted, not to reduce worship to habit, and not to miss the larger purpose of their lives. It is a timely message about spiritual awareness, obedience, endurance through trials, and living with gratitude in a world full of distraction and evil. If you need a reset in your perspective and a reminder of how near God has already been, this episode will speak to your heart.

Praise Is Good, but Worship Belongs to God Alone
A lot of believers use praise and worship as if they mean the same thing, but this episode slows down and makes the distinction clear. In a rich discussion from In God Service, the class explores how praise can be expressed in words, gratitude, music, and celebration, while worship goes deeper and belongs to God alone. Using the visit of the wise men in Matthew 2, the lesson shows that the Magi did not merely admire Jesus or honor Him with compliments. They fell down before Him, humbled themselves, and offered gifts that pointed to His kingship and worth. This episode also touches on idolatry, heart posture, spiritual discipline, and how easily modern distractions can replace true devotion. It is practical, scriptural, and deeply needed in a time when many people honor God with words but struggle to yield their hearts. Listen now and share this episode with someone who wants a clearer, deeper understanding of what it means to truly worship Jesus.
