    What Jesus Says About Doubt

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Apr 2, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,249 views

    A sermon preached at the Salem Lutheran Home Chapel in Elk Horn, Iowa during the week of the 2nd Sunday of Easter. This sermon looks at doubt, both Thomas’ doubts about the resurrection, as well as our doubts, and what Jesus has to say about them.

    How many of you there this morning have ever heard the phrase “Doubting Thomas?” I’m guessing quite a few of you have at some point in your life. We usually use it to refer to someone who doubts the truth of what we’re trying to tell them. That phrase “Doubting Thomas” comes from Thomas, one of ...read more

    Christ reaches out to us to overcome our fears and doubts.

    Little Johnny was in the kitchen helping his mother make supper. She asked him to go into the pantry & get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go alone. "It’s dark in there & I’m scared." She asked again, & he persisted. Finally she said, "It’s OK. Jesus will be in there w. you." ...read more

    The parable of the ballon illustrates what life in the Spirit is like, and remindes us why the Church was given the Holy Spirit

    John 20:19-23 “The Breath of God” INTRODUCTION Today is a once in a life time experience. Never before has Pentecost fallen on the same Sunday as Mother’s Day. The possibility of it happening again will not occur for well over one hundred years. The gift of the Holy Spirit came during the ...read more

    The reality of the resurrection dawned slowly on those involved. Each was missing a crucial piece of the story. How does Jesus put the story of His new life together for you?

    In broadcasting or film making there are several types of ways of getting from one scene to another. Two of the most common are a cut and a fade. In a cut one scene is suddenly replaced with another. In a fade one scene fades out to black and is then slowly replaced with another that fades back up ...read more

    Fear, forgiveness and faith AFTER the crucifixion of Christ.

    Your best friend just got murdered - executed, in fact. You could have helped him escape, but you ran instead. You’re angry and disappointed, not only in yourself, but in your friend. He said he could handle it. He said he was big enough to avoid it. He said he was God. Or at least, that’s what you ...read more

    In this sermon you will examine Jesus’ impact upon a person’s life.

    Some time ago a lady went into an ice cream shop in Beverly Hills, Ca. to buy an ice cream cone. She was shocked when Paul Newman walked in and stood right behind her. Although rattled, she was determined to maintain her composure. She paid for her ice cream cone, then confidently walked out. ...read more

    John repeatedly explains how critical "believing" is to the Christian. In fact he stresses faith nearly twice as much as the other 3 gospels. Why?

    (We opened with a 50 seconds cut from Don Adams in “Get Smart” - the episode called “Mr. Big” found on youtube.com - where Maxwell Smart goes into his “Would You Believe” routine.) “Would you believe?” It was one of the funnier skits that Don Adams developed for his sitcom “Get Smart”. And what ...read more

    Doubt Diminishes Our Blessings John 20:19-29 We have just come out of the season of celebrating a resurrected Christ.

    Our faith must be an active faith. It must come alive to bring others to Christ.

    I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT THOMAS MISSED THE FIRST EASTER APPEARANCE OF JESUS. WHAT I FIND TO BE EVEN MORE INTRIGUING IS THE FACT THAT THE DISCIPLES ARE STILL HIDING BEHIND A LOCKED DOOR ONE WEEK FOLLOWING THEIR ENCOUNTER WITH THE RISNEN CHRIST. I THINK THOMAS GETS A BUM RAP AS THE “LONE” DISCIPLE ...read more

Early in the morning the ladies went to Jesus’ tomb carrying burial spices to anoint a dead Jesus. But when they arrived they didn’t ...read more

    Could it be that Jesus’ resurrections was meant to not only give hope to humanity but also to the rest of his creations?

    I want to begin this morning in John 20. John 20 is text that we most commonly read on Easter Sunday. It is John’s account of Jesus’ resurrection. In John chapter 20, we have Mary Magdalene going to the tomb where Jesus was buried early in the morning to anoint the dead body of Jesus with burial ...read more

    This is a sermon that focuses on our life just one week after Easter. It follows the central character of Thomas as our representative in that room, one week after Easter.

    Isaiah 53:10-12 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
