Encountering Jesus

An Encounter with Doubt

October 22, 2023

About this message

Doubt in the church can be difficult. People with doubt are often pushed away thinking that they lack faith or that they are a hindrance to the Gospel. But we have all experienced doubt. If we're honest, we have all wrestled with our faith.

This week, we look at the story of a man often called Doubting Thomas. What we see isn't a story of a man lacking faith but of a man coming to Jesus with his questions. Doubt wasn't Thomas' destination, but it was an important stop on his journey used to strengthen his faith. Join as we open John 20 to find that Jesus isn't intimidated by our questions, but invites us to encounter Him.
