At The Sycamore Tree

The Life Hell Wants Silenced

The Life Hell Wants Silenced, Episode 17 Welcome to At the Sycamore Tree Podcast with Jeff Hughes — a place dedicated to helping you see Jesus more clearly. In this episode of Sycamore Tree Ministries, we return to the I AM series and Jesus’ powerful statement: “I am the resurrection and the life.” But this time, we look at what happened AFTER Lazarus was raised from the dead. When Jesus brings dead things back to life, the world takes notice. Lazarus became living evidence of Jesus’ power—and because of that, he became a target. Through John 11 and John 12, we unpack what it means to walk in resurrection life, fight from victory and remain faithful even when opposition comes. ❕Today’s Takeaway: Dead things don’t stay dead around Jesus. 📖 Scriptures in today’s teaching: John 11v45-53 John 12v1-11 Ephesians 1v12-14 1 Corinthians 15v56-58 Philippians 3v8-11 💬 Type “Victory in Jesus” in the comments if you’re walking in His resurrection life. 🌱 Want to sow into the ministry: 🔗: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/sycamore-tree-partners 🌳About the Podcast Just like Zacchaeus climbed the sycamore tree to see Jesus, this space exists to help you rise above the noise, quiet your heart, and encounter Him in a deeper way.
