Easter 2019 – Week 1 | From Skepticism To Belief

After watching a friend or a dream die, it's hard to trust the promises you once claimed. This message names that exact weariness—skepticism born from personality, from grief, from being burned by hope—and brings the familiar story of Thomas right into those raw places. If you've ever felt faith slipping after loss, or thought belief requires lowering your standards for evidence, this hits home. The talk walks through why Thomas doubted and how he moved to a sudden, wholehearted confession: listen to eyewitness testimony, notice that God pursues you even while you resist, learn how scars can point to hope, and let go of the conditions you set for believing. Expect a gentle but honest push toward a different way of seeing wounds and evidence, leaving you thinking about belief more like an invitation than a test of proof.
