     | 2,316 views

    The apostle Thomas gets the short end of the stick when we read about him and his "doubts" in the Gospel of John. He is more like you and I than we want to admit, and his story affirms it.

     | 2,109 views

    Jesus is the perfect revelation of God and man’s spiritual eyes can be opened to see God but only through Jesus. Apart from Jesus, no man will ever see God.

    Tonight, we look at John 9 concerning the opening of man’s eyes. Man is spiritually blind, and our eyes need to be opened. The mission of Jesus is to open our eyes.
