Ep. 12 When doubt meets Jesus - John 20:24-31

What do you do when doubt creeps in?In this Easter message from Gospel of John 20:24–31, we look at the story of Thomas—often called “Doubting Thomas”—and what happens when his skepticism meets the risen Jesus.Thomas refused to believe unless he saw proof for himself. And honestly, many of us can relate. We want certainty. We want evidence. We want to see before we believe.But when Jesus appears, everything changes.In this message, we explore:Why Thomas doubted—and why we do tooHow Jesus responds to honest skepticismWhy faith isn’t blind, but rooted in real historyEvidence for the resurrection of JesusWhat it means to believe without seeingThe resurrection isn’t just a spiritual idea—it’s a historical claim that changes everything. And according to Scripture, believing in Jesus isn’t just about being right—it’s about finding life.Easter Sunday message from Rise Church in Dyer, Indiana.Message preached by Pastor Josh Benner.
