Sermon Title: Thomas
Text: John 20:24-31
Focus: Is why we believe just as important as what we believe? Thomas shows us that it’s okay, to be honest about our doubt and allow the community of faith to hold faith for us so that God’s loving presence through that community can enable a resurrection of a new and deeper faith. We will discover that resurrection is more than belief about what happened to Jesus’ body; it is hope in the power of God to do what seems impossible in our lives.
