The Day He Quit Doubting

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 6, 2020

Thomas refused to believe Jesus had risen from the dead. He even stated what proof he would need in order to believe. But when he saw the risen Lord, everything changed!

Introduction: Thomas isn’t mentioned often in Scripture, but there are examples for each one of us in each instance. We’ve seen that he, like us, had his share of unsettling experiences, as in John 11. Like him, we’ve probably had questions over some of the things, perhaps new revelation or ...read more

"Fat” Is Where It’s At

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 19, 2019

We need to feast on the Word of God much more than we do.

No Doubt Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 3, 2021

The famous opponent of Christianity - Voltaire - actually believed the dead could be raised. He believed in a famous scientist of the day who maintained he had done just that. Voltaire rejected Jesus and His real resurrection and embraced a scientist and his false claim.

Believing Without Seeing

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Apr 4, 2021

On the day of Jesus's return we will see him, in person, face to face. Until that great day, we are those who have not seen, yet believe. We are those who have not touched and seen and heard.

There are some things about us that we just have, naturally. Think about how children look. Every child receives some features from his or her parents, like red hair or brown eyes or a certain shape of nose or chin. And sometimes we think faith is like that too. We say, “I’m pretty sure I have ...read more
