     | 11,000 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). Our reading this morning are: Acts 2:14a,22-32 1 Peter 1:3-9 John 20:19-31 Psalm ...read more

    The Apostle Thomas is responsible for some of the greatest facts the Lord gave on earth. We owe much to Thomas. Here his life is examined and those wonderful pillars of our faith that proceed from what Thomas asked and said. Is “doubting Thomas” really justified?

In Matthew 10, Mark 3, Luke 6, and Acts 1 he is mentioned in the list of the disciples Jesus called. We do not know under what ...read more

    The solution to a problem is never found in skepticism nor doubt, but in a faith acceptance and application of God’s Word to the issue.

    “Thomas was not with the ten disciples … told him ‘We have seen the Lord.’ Thomas said, ‘Except I shall see the wounds in His hands and put my hand in the wound of His side, I will not believe … eight days later … Jesus appeared and said to Thomas, ‘reach your finger and put it into the wounds of ...read more

    Not everyone who encoutnered Jesus was wise. WIll you be wise in the way you respond to him?

A new star has appeared in the eastern sky heralding the birth of someone destined for greatness and they’ve come to worship him. This is no ordinary child, this is ...read more

    God saves us by his special favor when we believe in Jesus. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
