This sermon outline uses the story of Lazarus' resurrection in John 11 to illustrate living for the glory of God. It outlines how Jesus, his disciples, Lazarus' friends Martha and Mary, and his enemies the Jews all initially did not understand God's plan. The sermon proposes five keys - Prayer, Thanksgiving, Acknowledgement, and Immediate Release (PTAWR) - to living for God's glory. It concludes by encouraging the congregation to remember PTAWR, be real with God, and offering an altar call.
