Steve Turnbull, a pastor from the Columbus, Ohio area, is a familiar face on Sunday Extra. This week, Steve opens up a discussion on the subject of death from John 11:1-44, the raising of Lazarus. Though most people would rather avoid talking about death, Lent inevitably draws us to this topic. One benefit of the Lenten season is forcing us to face our own mortality in a way resulting in life. Listen to the end, where Steve shares important truths we hold about life and death.

Prayer and Resources

We continue to ask all to pray for the terrible situation in Ukraine.

God, we pray with all we have and believe for peace in Ukraine and safety for her people. Lord, this nation and its people have seen struggles with Russia for a century. Thousands have already died, and millions are displaced. Lord, bless them for their bravery. Give Russian citizens and other peoples in the world the courage to stand with them more each day. Please show us how to be the hands and feet of Jesus as we welcome them to our nations. Finally, God, we plead with you to keep them secure and full of hope.

Struggles in the World…struggles in relationships.
