    Show Me Your Hands!

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 16, 2016
     | 9,136 views

    If there is a poster boy for “doubting” it must be the Apostle Thomas. Thomas isn't mentioned often in Scripture, but there are examples for each of us in each instance. We've seen that he, like us, had his share of unsettling experiences.

    Tom Lowe March 9, 2016 Show Me Your Hands! Introduction There are times when I feel like the man who said to Jesus “help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24). And, how about this verse: “You don't have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you ...read more

    The resurrection of Jesus means that Jesus has the capacity to keep on appearing in our lives and to give us the very thing that we need the most. In what capacity do you need Jesus to appear to you today?

     | 4,293 views

    Whether we are or are not convinced that Christ rose from the dead does not affect the reality of the Resurrection. But if we accept its reality by faith and live consistently in light of it, it changes our lives like nothing else can.

     | 7,386 views

    God treats us an individuals and knows our specific needs just as he did with MAry, Peter and Thomas and the unnamed disciples of Jn 20
