    Thomas, although wanting to see proof, was full of faith in Jesus

    John 20:19-31 This is the Sunday that we hear about and celebrate the apostle commonly known as ‘Doubting Thomas’, considered by some theologians to be one of Jesus’ ‘bad boys’. We find the other ten disciples cowering in a room, afraid to come out. The doors were shut and locked; the drapes were ...read more

    Jesus knows our struggles, wounds, hurts, and pains and He carries them even in his resurrection body!

    (Please note the names mentioned in this sermon are pseudonyms) Today, we have this story of Jesus physically appearing to his disciples after his resurrection. On Jesus’ first appearance, Thomas was absent, and we just read in the story that he had insisted on seeing Jesus’ wounds if he were to ...read more

    Speaking In The Tongue Of Heaven

    When the Holy Spirit empowers a person to speak in his or her language—which we will hear in our mother tongue—the language they speak in is not their language but the tongue of Heaven.

    What an incredible and ecstatic experience for the twelve Apostles, the Mother of Jesus, Jesus’ brothers, and other women to experience the gifting of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. As Luke reports, it had been a dramatic event. While they were together, the event started with a sudden ...read more

    God’s works are always greater than we can describe.

    Pentecost Sunday 2025 Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and enkindle in them the first of your love. This prayer was one of the first I learned back in grade school, and, of course, I had no idea the depth of richness of its meaning. We rarely do understand what prayers mean ...read more

    A. The Great Commission 1. It’s the last command given by Jesus Christ. 2. It is given to all believers. 3. It hasn’t been completed or finished. 4. It is still the marching orders of the church.

    how do we deal with Doubting Thomas, a disciple and a man whose insistence on tangible proof serves as a beacon of realism amidst the fervent belief of his peers.

    How Shall We Live SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER, YEAR B ”When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors were locked where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and ...read more

    Lightning

    At Pentecost, the room shook and wind blew and the whole room crackled with the Holy Spirit’s electric presence. With this in mind, United Methodist theologian Albert Outler tells of a small town he once visited which had three churches in it, and each of the three churches, he said, had an ...read more

    Is It Ok To Doubt? Series

    Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Apr 19, 2024
     | 1,062 views

    For the doubters and skeptics, this is where you belong, right there with Thomas. Jesus didn't criticize his doubting, he invited him to actually touch him. You don't have to believe to come, this is a place where we can ask our questions. This is a place where we find Jesus to be real.

    My theme this Eastertide is the way that Jesus changed who we are AFTER the resurrection – while most of our studies are on the person Jesus BEFORE the crucifixion, what happened after is what changed us permanently. But the truth is, even those of us who call ourselves believers doubt at times. ...read more

    Jesus is not some historical person -- He's alive today and relevant to our lives! Thomas, the skeptic, asked for unreasonable proofs of the resurrection, but Jesus proved it beyond all doubt!

    Birthday Of The Church--Going Out Into The World For Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 15, 2024
     | 658 views

    Pentecost has been a big deal from the beginning, because it’s really the “birthday of the Church.”

    Pentecost Sunday 2024 There’s kind of an undogmatic understanding in the Church about the major religious festivals of the Christian year. They basically come from the writings of and through St. Paul. In first place there is what is formally called “the Triduum,” the three days preceding Easter, ...read more

    Jesus bears the keys that have locked up “Death and Hades” so that we no longer can fear dying, so that when we close our eyes for the last time here, we can look forward to seeing Our Lord in that New Life.

    Sunday of Divine Mercy 2025 When the Church gets really excited about one of God’s wonderful works, She commits Liturgy over and over.

    Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 19, 2023
     | 1,722 views

    At first the disciples doubted. But when faced with the evidence, they weighed it, tested it, and then acted upon it. Their verdict has stood the test of time. And the grounds on which they stood are the same grounds upon which we can stand.

    Why do you suppose is it that, faced with the same data, some people interpret it one way and some people interpret it another? You have only to look at the George Floyd riots – and the other ones later that year - to know that. Not even exhaustive investigations convince people whose minds are ...read more
