Welcome to Community Presbyterian Church in Grand Rapids, Minnesota!
Today's Readings:
1st Reading Acts 5:27 - 32
2nd Reading Psalm 150
Gospel Reading John 20:19 - 31
If you grew up going to church or in a family that discussed faith, how was the topic of doubt handled? Was expressing doubts viewed as wrong or going against God? Was doubt talked about as the opposite of faith? For many, I think this was exactly how doubt was discussed. Faith was talked about in absolutes and doubt was the antithesis of faith. Did that make your doubt disappear, or were you too afraid to acknowledge or voice them? In this week's sermon we look at the well-known story of "Doubting Thomas". Jesus appeared to the disciples, but Thomas wasn't present. When they told Thomas about it, he could not believe unless he too saw Jesus. How does Jesus respond? Where does doubt fit into faith?
Join Pastor Jason Schiller for this week's sermon from Community Presbyterian Church.
