In the last 40 years, scholars have thrown out several centuries of scholarly speculation on the Gospel of John. This book was written by Jesus' best friend, an eyewitness to the life of Jesus. It testifies to the powerful and encouraging message for people then, and still for us today!

When "Doubting Thomas" saw the risen Lord for himself, his skepticism changed to acknowledgement of Jesus as "My Lord and my God." Jesus responded by saying, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed." The Holy Spirit still brings faith to those who will hear, even in our skeptical generation. Today's message invites us to come meet Jesus as we explore the story of the disciple Thomas. He was a brave believer who was willing to die for Jesus, but also one who is most well known as "Doubting Thomas." Our world is one of spiritual poverty and skepticism, but when we turn our eyes to Jesus we can hear Him saying, "Stop doubting and believe!" May our response be, "Lord and God!"

Everything stands and falls on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the heart of the New Testament, and also the greatest message the world has ever heard. Christ is risen! Today's message explores cowardice, crucifixion, corroboration, confusion and finally courage that opens our eyes to be convinced! Christ is risen, and in Him is our hope for today and forever, for He IS The Living One!
