    Little Chunks Of Doubt

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 17, 2022
     | 1,094 views

    Often what we perceive as doubt is not really that severe. We experience times in which faith in Christ seems overwhelmingly demanding.

    We may cluck our tongues and roll our eyes at Thomas in this snippet from John’s Gospel. “How can the unanimous testimony,” we wonder, “of those who saw Jesus that Easter evening still leave Thomas, absent without leave then, in doubt of the Resurrection?” At first glance he just looks irreparably ...read more

     | 3,615 views

    A sermon about overcoming fear through the Risen Christ.

    “Fear” John 20:19-31 Our Gospel Lesson this morning begins on the evening of Easter. The doors are shut; they are “locked for fear of the Jewish leaders.” And this is understandable. The disciples were, after-all, followers of this Man who the Jewish leaders hated—hated enough for them to ...read more

     | 1,685 views

    I can’t see your brain; but, I do believe that every one of you has one. The good news is that Jesus IS here and you DO have a brain. The bad news is that you may not use that good news or your brain by loving one another as Jesus loves to reveal that love to the world.

    Just like Thomas, our doubt can show how close we are to God; we can be transformed by Jesus in our doubt.

    INTRODUCTION • Today we will conclude our four-week series concerning the issue of dealing with doubt. • We have covered the fact that we can go through seasons of doubt; and that our expectations can lead to doubt. • Last week we examined how we can struggle to believe because what we see in ...read more

     | 2,263 views

    Jesus really did rise from the dead and come back to harass the very people who betrayed him." …Harass your heart, that is, if you are withholding forgiveness from someone.

    Jim Friedrich shared that at the entrance to Jerusalem’s Church of All Nations, next to the Garden of Gethsemane, there is a sign warning every visitor: “NO EXPLANATIONS INSIDE THE CHURCH.” The sign is intended to discourage over-talkative tour guides but it’s also what Jesus practiced after his ...read more

    Pentecost- Don’t Be "Holy Spirit Shy.”

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 11, 2022
     | 1,229 views

    The key is the realization that when the charis or gift of God is received, then the charismata should be in evidence.

    To confirm is related to the word “firm” as in to strengthen and reinforce. God confirms our faith so we can withstand a certain amount of force, to stand in opposition to the falsehoods and challenges manifested by the devil, and more positively, to witness to the Gospel. e.g. Owen Phelps said ...read more

    If a shut tomb could not hold Jesus in, a shut church cannot keep him out!

    Jesus Among Us John 20:19 - 31 Intro: If I had written the story of the resurrection of Jesus, I would have done it a little differently.
