Passage: John 20:1-29

-------------------

Welcome to Ontario Community Church’s Sermon Podcast.

Happy Easter! Today on Resurrection Sunday, Pastor Patrick Dailey preaches “Believe” from John 20:1–29 at Ontario Community Church.

Three scenes of belief: • The disciples saw the empty tomb and believed; yet they did not understand • Mary recognized Jesus by voice, not by sight; from tears to testimony • Thomas went from “I will never believe” to “My Lord and my God”

Key themes: • Belief comes before understanding; you do not need all the answers • The voice of God transforms tears into testimony; Christ calls your name • Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed

“But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” — John 20:31
