Learning From Thomas Series

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 4, 2024

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.

The Race Is His But Your Faithfulness Matters

Because the race belongs to Christ alone, we are called not to carry its full weight but to run our leg with faithfulness—working, resting, and trusting that our part in God’s eternal plan matters.
