Simply the Sermon for April 7, 2024: “Fear…Doubt…Faith”

Perhaps we should rename "Doubting Thomas", "Courageous Thomas" for questioning the other disciples when they attested to have seen Jesus alive.  But Thomas has a chance to see Jesus alive for himself.  So, too, do we not exclude those who may bring questions to the faith as Pastor Russ shares in his message:  "Fear...Doubt...Faith" from John 20:19-21.
