    Open Tomb, Closed Case Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Apr 26, 2025
     | 226 views

    In our cynical world today, it's hard to trust anyone. All the institutions have been shown to be engaged in fraud, lying, and deception. But we can trust the Word of God and the God who gave us that Word.

    Open Tomb, Closed Case Text: John 20:1-29 So we just celebrated the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And like I said last Sunday, it’s the most amazing event in all of human history. So even though we’re going to be back in John’s Gospel this morning, we’re right at the point ...read more

    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

    Is It Ok To Doubt? Series

    Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Apr 19, 2024
     | 903 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

    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.

    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.
