    Thomas wasn't the only disciple to doubt Jesus' resurrection. They all doubted it. So why was Thomas branded the "doubter"... and what difference can that make to us?

    God’s strength never fails; when we are weary, He renews us, teaching us to hope, trust, and find fresh power in His presence.

    Sermon # 39 - Possible With God Alone Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 25, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 197 views

    The one thing that is a chief contender for our love and allegiance to God is the riches of this world. If we desire to inherit eternal life we must choose to know God, love Him above all else and keep money in its rightful place. What seems impossible with men is possible with God alone.

    We read in Mark 10:27, “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” (ESV) Mankind has advanced in leaps and bounds in science, technology, industrialization and medicine. However, all of these progressions have still left us ...read more

    The plan that God has for our lives will certainly be fulfilled if we honor God and remain faithful to Him and the relationships that He has entrusted to us. When God chooses to lift one up, no man can do anything to stop it.

I went to visit a family, and I casually asked a little girl aged around 8 or 9, ‘What did you learn last ...read more
