Homelessness in Baton Rouge is a pressing issue. Approximately 400 individuals daily were looking for a shelter bed as of September 2024. Many face food insecurity, especially on weekends. A mobile breakfast service on Sunday mornings, called the Love Your Neighbor van, fills this gap by delivering meals to various locations, ensuring sustenance when other resources are unavailable. The van also provides clothing, basic first aid care, shoes, nutrition drinks, and more to our homeless neighbors.

Grief has a way of making the world feel smaller, darker, and more fragile. Not only do we miss the ones we love; we also face deep questions of our own--about life, death, and God. In John 11, Jesus stands with Mary and Martha at the grave of Lazarus, not with easy answers, but with tears, power, and promise. This sermon explores what Jesus means when he says, “I am the resurrection and the life,” and why it matters for all of us who live in the shadow of death.
