Even Now | John 11 | Esther Gascoyne | Team Teach | UNLTD Church

What do you do when you've prayed, waited and trusted God, but nothing seems to change? In this Team Teach message, Esther Gascoyne explores John 11 and the story of Mary, Martha and Lazarus, asking one of life's biggest questions: Can we still trust Jesus when we don't understand what He's doing? When Lazarus becomes ill, Mary and Martha call for Jesus. But instead of coming immediately, Jesus waits. Their brother dies, their hearts break, and they're left wondering why Jesus didn't come sooner. Yet in the middle of their grief, Martha makes an extraordinary declaration: “Even now.” Esther explores what it means to trust Jesus through disappointment, unanswered prayer, suffering and seasons of waiting. Through Mary and Martha's story, we're reminded that Jesus isn't distant from our pain. He enters into our grief, walks alongside us and reveals Himself as the resurrection and the life. Faith isn't about knowing exactly what Jesus will do. It's about trusting who He is, even when we don't know what happens next. Whether you're exploring Christianity, facing a difficult season or struggling to understand God's timing, this message is an invitation to keep coming back to Jesus. *Because even when we don't understand, Jesus is still trustworthy.* Give to UNLTD Church: www.unltd.church/give Catch all our talks: www.unltd.church/talks Timestamps 00:00 Welcome to Team Teach – Esther Gascoyne 00:27 John 11 – The raising of Lazarus 01:15 Trusting Jesus through difficult circumstances 02:10 Mary, Martha and Lazarus 03:01 Bringing our situations to Jesus in prayer 03:44 Why does Jesus sometimes seem to delay? 04:46 Martha's honest grief and disappointment 05:21 “Even now” – trusting Jesus when it hurts 06:16 “I am the resurrection and the life” 06:56 Mary responds to Jesus' call 07:39 Jesus wept – God enters into our suffering 09:11 Why does God allow suffering? 09:41 Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead 10:05 Faith isn't a guarantee of the outcome we want 10:53 Choosing to trust Jesus while we wait Hashtags #EvenNow #TrustJesus #John11 #EstherGascoyne #TeamTeach #UNLTDChurch #Jesus #Lazarus #MaryAndMartha #ChristianFaith #UnansweredPrayer #FaithInHardTimes #BibleTeaching #ExeterChurch
