    Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 19, 2023
     | 1,636 views

    At first the disciples doubted. But when faced with the evidence, they weighed it, tested it, and then acted upon it. Their verdict has stood the test of time. And the grounds on which they stood are the same grounds upon which we can stand.

    Why do you suppose is it that, faced with the same data, some people interpret it one way and some people interpret it another? You have only to look at the George Floyd riots – and the other ones later that year - to know that. Not even exhaustive investigations convince people whose minds are ...read more

    Jesus gives personal and purposeful peace. See how Jesus did that for his disciples on Easter evening and continues to do so to this day.

    Last week we met two of Jesus’ followers on their way from the city of Jerusalem to a village named Emmaus which was about a 7 mile roundtrip. If you missed that message, you can go back and listen to it. It was Easter afternoon when those two disciples decided to leave Jerusalem. There were ...read more

    For a man named "Doubting Thomas", he makes one of the greatest confessions of faith: "My Lord and my God!" This sermon briefly walks through the text and examines Thomas' confession in an applicable way for the hearer by breaking the confession down into two chunks.

    Sometimes, it just isn’t possible to shake a nickname. One of my favorite athletes, Landon Donovan, has that problem.

    Jesus instructs us to have faith and believe, but how do we do that with our doubts?

    Today’s gospel reading is one of the best-known Eastertide gospels – that of ‘Doubting Thomas’. We almost never hear the name of this disciple without the label of ‘Doubting’.

    The disciplines hid in fear after the crucifixion. How could they continue, even survive when all appeared lost. How can we face the world when we are in that same bad place?
