    "What Faith Does?"

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Apr 19, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,901 views

    The message shares how faith can move us, open us, deepen us, better us, and challenges us.

    What Faith Does? John 20:19-30 God's most faithful servants have usually also been among the most doubtful. It has been well said, a faith that does not doubt is a dead faith. The mark of great faith is a great and continuous struggle to get it, keep it, share it. Theologian Paul Tillich ...read more

     | 4,938 views

    Jesus was unlike any other so-called god or person in history because He did not stay dead – Jesus God in flesh died! – But death did not consume Him or contain Him. He rose up from it in power – WHY? - So we could also be set free from death!

    Video: Not Another Dead God Human Video: JESUS CRUCIFIXION On Friday night in our Good Friday Service we left with Jesus being martyred/killed on a horrible cross and placed in a tomb.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Apr 25, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,955 views

    However you look at this story, the emphasis always appears to Thomas or us doubting, suggesting that we lack faith. It is not all to do with us; God has a role in our faith and we must let him work through us. We just cannot carry that burden alone.

    This sermon was delivered to the congregation in Holy Trinity, in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 23rd April 2017: by Gordon McCulloch (A Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries).

    Sin embargo, usted mira esta historia, el énfasis siempre aparece a Thomas o nosotros dudando, sugiriendo que nos falta fe. No todo tiene que ver con nosotros; Dios tiene un papel en nuestra fe y debemos dejarlo trabajar a través de nosotros. Simplemente

     | 8,201 views

    Good things happens to bad people, and the Gospel tells us that, but it is not fair, but what we don’t see, is God changing us for the better, refining us to do his will. It is all there in the bible.

    Jesus prepared his disciples to receive the Holy Spirit. We also need a preparation period to understand the gift of the Holy Spirit which we receive through baptism.

Koplitz John 20:19 So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “1bPeace be with you.” 20 And ...read more

    The ultimate sign in John 20:1-31 teaches us that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and the only Savior of sinners.

    Introduction Today, I plan to conclude our sermon series that I have called “Signs.” Jesus performed thousands of miracles in his short ministry of two-and-a-half years.

    "he Is Risen!" Now What?

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Mar 18, 2024

     | 1,873 views

    He is Risen, but we ask, “What now?” What does it mean for us and how does it impact our lives today? Is it just to be an awesome historical event and left there? The answer is no.

    HE IS RISEN! (He is Risen indeed!) That is the shouted declaration of triumph and its reaffirming response. The fact that Christ is risen is the pinnacle of our Christian faith. Christianity stands or falls on the resurrection. The Apostle Paul stated; “For what I received I passed on to you ...read more

    Jesus told Mary Magdalene not to touch him but he told disciples to touch him in this passage. It’s interesting observations. The theological implications are great. May the blessings of believing be upon all. Amen.

     | 1,330 views

    This message relates to the story of Jesus's crucifixion. It depicts the disciples, who were heartbroken and hiding in an upper room after Jesus's death, with their hopes shattered. The message conveys the excitement when Jesus appears before them after his resurrection.

    Let’s start at an obvious place for the week after Easter. The baskets are empty, the colored grass has been vacuumed up. Beautiful cards have been put away. Nice clothes are back in the closet. All that is left are a few jelly beans that no one wants to trust. Easter is over … or, is it?

    Learning From Thomas Series

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 4, 2024

    We can learn a lot from Thomas that by encountering Jesus and hearing the testimonies of others, we don't have to lose faith, doubt and fail to believe.

    I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT IT WAS THOMAS WHO GETS A BUM RAP AS THE “LONE” DISCIPLE OF DOUBT. WHEN WE SPEAK OF THOMAS, HE IS USUALLY REFERRED TO AS “DOUBTING THOMAS.” ALTHOUGH UNDERSTANDABLE, IT REALLY ISN’T FAIR. ALL THE REMAINING DISCIPLES DOUBTED AS WELL.
