Thomas

The Third Day: Living the Resurrection

March 3, 2024 • Pastor Bethany Nelson • John 20:24–31

Give

Thomas expressed his doubt about the resurrection of Jesus and then did something counter intuitive. He held his doubt while remaining in the community of faith. Doubt is sure to be present in the community of faith, but rather than leave and give up on faith during times of doubt, we can stay and let the community hold faith for us. God’s presence in such communities can enable a resurrection of a new and deeper faith.

The Passion of Christ

March 24, 2024 • Pastor Bethany Nelson • Mark 11:1–11

We turn our focus to the passion and Resurrection of Jesus. When you look at the cross, what do you see? In the cross, God was doing something through Jesus that we cannot do for ourselves.

Paul

March 17, 2024 • Pastor Tami Luckhardt • Acts 9:1–18

Paul’s life and testimony is certainly a convincing piece of evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus. By looking at key texts in his writings, we’ll hear about the promise of the Resurrection regarding eternal life, personal transformation, and the redeeming work of God in the world.

Emmaus

March 10, 2024 • Pastor Tami Luckhardt • Luke 24:13–32

As their disappointment diminished their hope, it was impossible for the disciples on the road to Emmaus to see God still with them. Likewise, our own disappointments can diminish our hope and impair our ability to see God’s presence with us. It is through this story that we can see how God is still working in the world today.
