This sermon draws a parallel between the concept of "walking dead" zombies and the spiritual state of many Christians today—alive in Christ but not truly living in His fullness. The focus shifts from merely the miraculous act to the person of Jesus, the true source of life. Through examining John 11:1-8 and 20-25, the sermon invites listeners to move beyond being "Christian zombies" and embrace the abundant, resurrected life offered by Jesus.

In examining John 5, the collapse of Chaplain Towers South in Surfside, Florida serves as a poignant metaphor for misplaced faith. Just as the building's foundation failed, so too do our lives when built on career, health, or relationships. Jesus, in John 5, meets individuals whose faith rests in unreliable sources – a paralyzed man waiting for a miracle in the pool of Bethesda, and religious leaders fixated on Sabbath rules. Through healing and confrontation, Jesus reveals himself as the true source of life, challenging us to trust in him alone for salvation. This sermon underscores that physical healing, while miraculous, pales in comparison to the eternal healing Jesus offers for our souls.
