    There are all sorts of things around us that can put worry into our lives. Whatever it is in our lives today, God has a plan to restore our peace.

    Opening and Introduction Our Gospel lesson today starts with words that set the tone for todays’ message. It starts with, “the doors were locked for fear of the Jews” (John 20:19, ESV).

    One of the results of the resurrection is we no longer have to live in fear. We could say it like this: When in dread, remember Jesus rose from the dead; He will come near when we are quarantined with fear!

    Easter Matters John 20:19-22 Rev. Brian Bill April 11-12, 2020 The very first Easter did not take place in a crowded worship space filled with singing and praising. On the very first Easter the disciples were locked in a house. Instead of sheltering in place, they were shaking in place. ...read more

    each of us has been given our own Holy Spirit

    Easter is over, but Jesus has not yet ascended to be with God. But the disciples know that He will be leaving them soon; He had told them that and they were afraid. He had been their teacher and guide; now he would not be there to tell them what to do. And just as happened after the crucifixion, ...read more

    through God and the Holy Spirit, we can find peace in this troubled world

    (John 20:19-29) We don't know exactly what went on in that upper room in the days after Christ died, but the Gospels give us a pretty good idea. We know there was fear—that's why his followers were hiding out, shut up behind a thick wooden door in a small room in the attic of a house. We ...read more

    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’.

    If a shut tomb could not hold Jesus in, a shut church cannot keep him out!

    Jesus Among Us John 20:19 - 31 Intro: If I had written the story of the resurrection of Jesus, I would have done it a little differently.

    John 20:19-20, 24-29 Defeating Doubt In this terrible time of pandemic, you might be tempted to think, “Where are you, God? Why don’t you stop this?

    Tomás no debe ser condenado o incluso criticado por su insistencia en la evidencia empírica. Tomás proporciona un modelo ejemplar del cual podemos aprender más sobre la naturaleza de la fe convincente.

    Cuando pensamos en el apóstol Tomás, a veces pensamos en él de manera algo negativa. El evento que involucró a Tomás en Juan 20: 19-31 ha dado lugar a la frase, «no seas un Tomás tan incrédulo». El incidente que involucra el rechazo de Tomás de ...read more
