Sincere faith does not exclude sincere investigation. Thomas needed to see the resurrected Jesus for himself. But once he got the evidence he surrendered all to Jesus. Will you follow the evidence? - - - 📖 ABOUT THE SERIES: Doubts? Questions? Fears? What if the absence of certainty was actually an invitation into a deeper faith? Join us for our Easter series where we will take a look into some of the questions and doubts we all run into and learn how we can grow into a greater dependence on God. - - - ✏️ MESSAGE NOTES: The eleven disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but some doubted. {Matthew 28:16-17} But Thomas (called “Twin”), one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples were telling him, “We’ve seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “If I don’t see the mark of the nails in his hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe.” {John 20:24-25} Then Thomas (called “Twin”) said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go too so that we may die with him.” {John 11:16} : SINCERE FAITH DOES NOT EXCLUDE SINCERE INVESTIGATION Then [Jesus] said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Don’t be faithless, but believe.” Thomas responded to him, “My Lord and my God!” {John 20:27-28} : FAITH IS A LIFELONG JOURNEY : FAITH ISN’T THE ABSENCE OF DOUBT. IT’S THE MEANS TO PUSH THROUGH IT. 6 EVIDENCES FOR THE CASE FOR CHRIST: 1: THE EMPTY TOMB 2: JESUS’ POST RESURRECTION APPEARANCES 3: THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE DISCIPLES 4: JAMES BELIEVED IN JESUS 5: THE TRANSFORMATION OF PAUL 6: THE EMERGENCE OF THE CHURCH - - - ✝️ ABOUT SWERVE: Swerve Church is a new church in the neighborhood of Bushwick in Brooklyn NYC.
