Riverside Church, Birmingham, Uk

Tim Chilvers speaks on John 11:1-44, as part of our Strange Things series.  What do you do when God doesn’t respond the way you hoped? In John 11, a desperate request is met with silence… and by the time Jesus arrives, it feels too late. Expectations collapse, grief takes over, and the questions get louder. But as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that this moment isn’t following any formula or timeline. And what happens next doesn’t just change the situation - it reshapes what we thought was possible… and who we thought Jesus was. At Riverside we are on a journey together to help people get to know Jesus and grow as his followers across Birmingham and beyond. Whoever you are, whatever you believe, you're so welcome in this community. Find out more about Riverside Church & plan your visit: riverside-church.org.uk
