    Thomas - Vilified By Reputation Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 16, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 10,110 views

    It is so easy to characterise ourselves and others on the basis of past actions or occasions when sin has prevailed. The way Jesus deals with Thomas reminds us that we should not be judged on the basis of our reputation, but on the basis of Christ’s grac

    Message John 20:24-29 “Thomas … vilified by reputation” We like to put people into a box don’t we? To be able to look at someone and feel that we have a measure of who they are. We see a single mum … and all too quickly we make a presumption about the sort of person she is. We discover someone is ...read more

    Thomas- The "Concrete Man"

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,550 views

    Doubts come and go, and often they can lead to greater faith. But living in doubt will leave us in our sin because we are saved "by grace through faith." Blessed are those who believe but have not seen because, in matters of faith, believing is seeing.

    "Tom- The Concrete Man" John 20:19-31 Did you hear the joke about the neighbor who loved children in the abstract? A young married couple who had several children lived next door to an older man who frequently told them how much he loved children, especially their little tykes. But when these same ...read more

     | 8,837 views

    This is a eulogy for a Christian who loved his family, served his church, and invested himself in the lives of others. Doug was an African American, born in 1943 in a small town in West Va.

    In May of 1943, the world was at war and freedom and justice was at stake. In Poland the Germans had crushed the last of the Resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising killing thousands of Jews and sending the rest to the Triblinka concentration camp to die. Meanwhile in Alaska, ...read more

     | 10,325 views

    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

    This message identifies some of the character traits of "Thomas, the doubter" that can be seen in Christians today.

    Turn with me to Matthew 10. We’re going to read the first four verses. 1And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power (authority) against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 2Now the names of the twelve ...read more

    The Doubting Thomas In Us

    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,321 views

    In this passage .... Thomas ... is struggling with his lack of faith. .... I want you to think about how the Gospel of John mentions Thomas in three different ways, Thomas the courageous believer, Thomas the inquisitive and Thomas the doubter.

    THE DOUBTING THOMAS IN US (Easter season) Text: John 20:19-31 John 20:19-31  When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with ...read more

    Learning From Thomas Series

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 4, 2024
     | 1,608 views

    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. DEPSITE THEIR JOY OF PROCLAIMING “WE ...read more

    Character Study Of Thomas Series

     | 76 views

    Thomas' story shows that even the strongest believers can struggle with doubt. However, Jesus meets us where we are and strengthens our faith. Thomas' transformation from doubt to bold faith is an encouragement to everyone who struggles to believe.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF THOMAS (DIDYMUS) – THE DOUBTING DISCIPLE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 20:24-29 "Thomas, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, ‘We have seen the Lord!’ But he said to them, ‘Unless I see the nail marks in ...read more

    Have You Stopped Listening To God?

    What is uncertain is not the “coming” of Christ but our own reception of him, our own response to him, our own readiness and capacity to “go forth to meet him.

    Praying Like Jesus Series

     | 9,863 views

    Prayer needs to be the primary way we encounter God and grow in our relationship with Him. Jesus modeled and taught on prayer, particularly through the model of “The Lord’s Prayer.”

    Last week I shared our need to get connected to God, the only way to experience an abundant, fruitful life is to get connected to God. We get connected to God through Jesus. The Scripture passage we used last week was Jesus’ words, “you cannot bear fruit unless you remain (abide) in me.” The ...read more
