    The followers of Yeshua HaMashiach experienced confusion following His arrest,trial,crucifixion.How could disciples hiding in fear be about God's service? God has entered into our hardened human hearts, Yeshua brought evidence to his chosen.

    CONFUSION..... LOVE.....PEACE..... FAITH...... Over the years, my heart has been callous. I had Confusion, what I did not have was Love, Peace, and Faith. Maybe you have shared this kind of lifestyle with me. Maybe you had a similar experience. I do not feel that differently from other people. ...read more

    What is the difference in Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity? Simple. Of the four major religions today only one claims an empty tomb. The resurrection is the miracle that makes a difference between a religion that is dead and one that is alive.

    Why does the Resurrection matter? John 20:1-20 History records that Abraham who is known as the founder of the Jewish faith. 2000 years before the birth of Christ. His body remains in that tomb. History also records that in the year 483 BC that Buddha who about 80 at the time died from eating ...read more

    How much evidence is necessary for belief? By any measure the evidence of the resurrection of Jesus is sufficient for belief. Why not take that step of faith?

    A young software engineer was asked by his manager Do you believe in the resurrection of the dead? . . . the day you took off to attend your grandfather’s funeral he stopped by to visit you. It seems to me most people here this morning are probably not interested in the evidence of the ...read more

    Faith And Doubt In Between

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 29, 2014
     | 4,963 views

    During our life, from baptism and going home to the Lord, we live "in between" faith and doubt. But not all doubt is bad, and it can be used to draw us closer to God.

    What is our motto? “A believing church in a doubting world.” St. Thomas the Disciple is a church that believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. What does that—believing in Jesus Christ—mean? Isn’t that the real question? Lots of churches, real and so-called, profess some ...read more

    A message that tries to connect the dots in Thomas' experience of moving from doubt to faith in Christ after the Resurrection.

    I want to extend a special welcome to those here today who have questions, who have doubts about some or all of the things that have gone on so far in today’s gathering. You see, most of what happens in a worship service, at any church, is really for the already-convinced. We sing songs that ...read more

    Jesus' second appearance to His disciples reveals the blessedness of personal faith in the risen King.

    The Forgotten Fifty Days: “Believing the Risen King” John 20:24-31 The caption on the National Enquirer (I think it was) used to be, “Inquiring minds want to know?” Most people are innately curious. People are also generally skeptical: they want proof or evidence in order ...read more

    Thomas is called the doubter, but he is also the confessor, who made a remarkable confession like no other and did a marvelous work as far east as India.

    Don’t let your fears prevent you from doing what God asks of you. It is not our job to determine results. It is our job to obey. God will take care of the results. He will fulfill what He has promised.

    When Jesus was arrested, Peter was solely afraid to the bones. He and the rest of the disciples went into hiding. He was not at the place Jesus was crucified. In fact, Peter denied ever knowing Jesus 3 times. He did not want to be associated with Jesus. But now we see peter proclaiming the name of ...read more

    A perspective on John 20: 19-23. Jesus showed them his hands and side, the scars of his torment and death on the cross. This would have been an uncomfortable moment for them as they remembered their failures, abandonment, and lack of faith in Jesus.

    John 20: 19-23 Scars To Show The Gospel of John was written at about A.D. 85 a considerable number of years after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was written at a time when Christians were being persecuted for their faith in Jesus, the Son of God. John wrote the Gospel not only for ...read more

    The fearful disciples were assured of Jesus' peace when he visited them in a house that was securely locked because of their fear of the Jewish leaders.

    INTRODUCTION: In the Name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit- amen Last week we celebrated the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We may tend to get the notion that all that happened that day was ‘up from the grave He arose’ and the visit to the tomb by ...read more
