The Gospel of John Week 26 Scripture: John 20:19 - 21:25. Today's study will conclude our two year study of the Gospels with a dramatic and amazing ending. We begin with John 20:19, it is the first day of the week (Sunday) and the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly Jesus was standing among them saying "Peace be with you." This is a phrase in English that sounds so common, like "have a good day." But in Hebrew it carries much more meaning. Shalom (peace) more than just an absence of conflict or warfare, it refers to all creation - it means everything is right between us and God. Real peace, lasting peace, God's peace, life-changing peace the way things were intended to be before sin broke into a perfect creation. Jesus shows them His hands and side and the disciples are overjoyed. Everything the Jewish people have been longing for has come to a dramatic crescendo. Then He breathed on them saying, "Receive the Holy Spirit."  In verse 23 Jesus says, "If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven." Pastor spends time digging into what this verse is really saying.  When we accept Jesus as our Savior our sins are forgiven through faith in Christ. But to those who say they don't need a Savior, that think they are just fine on their own, we can say to them, "That won't cut it. Without Christ there is no hope."  Acts 4:12 "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." This commission from Jesus is given so that they can speak truth, so that they can use it to draw people into a relationship with the Living God. We read next of "Doubting Thomas." The disciples are again gathered together and Jesus appears, "Peace be with you. Put your finger here and put your hand into my side and stop doubting and believe!" And Thomas replies, "My Lord and my God!" That's not just an expression, this is a clear biblical title for the Living God. And Thomas suddenly realized that Jesus is not only alive, but He is the very One that was promised. Jesus is more than a miracle worker, He's more than a great teacher, He is God come to earth. John concludes chapter 20 with these words, "Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." We move into chapter 21, the epilogue. Pastor starts this chapter by sharing the story of a friend, a Russian Jew, who moved to Israel and became a Messianic believer and follower of Jesus. Pastor goes on to share the growth of Jewish believers in Jesus worldwide. Our story continues with the disciples fishing all night and not catching anything. Then a voice calls out to them to put their nets on the right side of the boat. When they do they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. John knows who the man is, "It is the Lord!" And Peter swims ashore. Pastor talks about the importance of the fire Jesus had started on shore to emphasize God's intentions. Jesus invites them to breakfast with Him but Jesus has a personal conversation with Peter. Purposefully, Jesus asks Peter 3 times (remember Peter denied knowing Jesus 3 times), "Do you love Me?" Peter responds yes each time and Jesus replies with, "Feed my sheep." Peter is forgiven, restored. This gospel ends with these dramatic words, "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written." Jesus is in the business of redeeming and restoring and renewing, changing lives, transforming families, rebuilding communities, changing entire nations and continents. John is saying you've only caught a glimpse! Can you imagine the stories we're going to hear after Jesus returns! This is an incredible, amazing, uplifting, joyful, thought provoking, life-changing book! Thank you for joining us on this great two year tour of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John!

In this message, Missionary Shane Lehman shares what it truly means to live a life available to the Holy Spirit and to bring the gospel to places where darkness feels overwhelming. Drawing from real-life mission experiences in Oaxaca and beyond, this sermon reminds us that life with God was never meant to be boring—it is meant to be alive, adventurous, and fully surrendered. Shane challenges believers to examine their availability to the Holy Spirit each day, emphasizing that transformation happens when we stop asking God to bless our plans and instead ask Him what He wants to do. Through stories of salvation in villages, gas stations, taxis, and forgotten places, we see how Jesus brings life where death once ruled. This message centers on John 10:10 and John 14:6, declaring that Jesus alone is the way, the truth, and the life, and that true abundance is not found in comfort or prosperity but in encounters with God, obedience, and freedom from deception. You will also hear: • The call to go where others will not and love people who feel forgotten • Why idols still exist today, even when they look modern or spiritual • A fresh perspective on “Doubting Thomas” as Honest Thomas—a disciple willing to die for Jesus • How God destroys idols not to shame us, but to give us real life This sermon is a bold reminder that Jesus is enough, that the gospel is still powerful today, and that every believer is invited into a life of purpose, courage, and obedience.

Pastor Ed will share about how doubts are common to us all and how we can overcome them like "Doubting" Thomas did.

This is the first of three lectures delivered by Dr. Mark Garcia, professor of systematic theology at Westminster Theological Seminary and founding president of Greystone Theological Institute. These lectures were given during the 2025 Semper Reformanda Conference of Classis Eastern, URCNA. This conference was hosted by Ascension Reformed Church in Cincinnati, OH.

In this powerful sermon, Dr. Roger Patterson dives into the biblical concept of the "crisis of belief"—the pivotal moment when what we know about God is challenged by what we feel about ourselves or our circumstances. Using the life of Moses as a primary example (Exodus 4:10-17), Dr. Patterson explores the excuses we use—"Not me, Lord," "Not now, Lord," or "Not this, Lord"—and how our inadequacy and fear can bind us, preventing us from stepping into God's will. Drawing on lessons from figures like Doubting Thomas, Abraham, and Peter, we are reminded that failure is not final, and true faith trusts God's character even when His command doesn't make sense. God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called. When faced with a fork in the road, the path forward is a two-step process: Remember "I AM" and Therefore "I Will." Dr. Patterson reminds us that God is the Great I AM—self-existent, present, and always available. When God prompts you, your availability is what He seeks, not your ability. Now is the day of obedience! Scripture References Psalm 46:1 Exodus 4:10-17, Exodus 3:13-14 Hebrews 11:6, Hebrews 11:17 John 20:25 Genesis 22:9 Luke 22:60 Jonah 1:1-3 Jeremiah 1:4-8 Numbers 13:30-31 2 Corinthians 6:2 Luke 22:41-42 Key Takeaways The nature of God as the "I AM" (present tense help in trouble). Understanding the crisis of belief as a decision point between faith and fear. The four common phrases of unbelief: "No, Lord," "Not me, Lord," "Not now, Lord," and "Not this, Lord." How to move forward in faith by remembering God's character. The powerful reminder that failure isn't final and God is the God of the comeback.

Anna and Matt hop into the time machine to meet Thomas—yes, Doubting Thomas! Through his story, kids learn that God is Patient—He is slow to anger. When Thomas struggled to believe Jesus was alive, Jesus didn't get angry or give up on him. Instead, He kindly appeared again to help Thomas believe. This episode reminds listeners that God is patient with us too—He understands our doubts, helps us believe, and always invites us closer to Him. What You'll Learn: ✨ God is Patient: He is slow to anger and full of kindness.

Dave Brisbin 9.28.25 If you want to protect and consolidate any institution, church, or state, the most effective one-two punch is to stigmatize doubt and proclaim dogma—belief accepted just because authority says so…which stigmatizes common sense. Then with enough power, you outlaw doubt and common sense altogether. Just about every religion and every political institution has done it. If we're paying attention, it's happening all around us. Orwell enshrined it in his novel 1984, though he was just mirroring totalitarian societies eighty years ago. For 300 years after the crucifixion, everyone following Jesus was trying to interpret what he and his teachings meant theologically and personally. No one was in control, so no official dogma, but competing doctrines were everywhere, causing so much division that Emperor Constantine called the first church council in 325 CE. Christian orthodoxy was born, and with Roman power, the church enforced it. Apostle Thomas was marginalized as Doubting Thomas for being honest and courageous enough to demand his own personal experience, that he couldn't base his faith on second-hand reports. Doubt and common sense are our only footholds against a slide into superstition. Scripture is careful to include the doubt that every hero of faith—from Abram to Moses to Apostles—used to springboard to the action of authentic faith. There is no faith without doubt, just as there is no courage without fear. Jesus had his moments of doubt and used the common sense of love-in-action to guide his people past prevailing dogma and practice to their own personal experience of God. Some say human societies reset every 500 years. Five hundredish years ago, we in the West experienced Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment, a time of great doubt and questioning. We are going through just such a time now with science, technology, and politics pulling every existential thread. Jesus also lived in such a time, modeled and gave us permission to question, to use doubt and common sense to build a first-hand faith never dependent on ignorance or capitulation…as essential to us as it is threatening to those in power.

Welcome to the School of Ministry episode (remastered), on the life of Thomas, often mislabeled "Doubting Thomas," showing him instead as a deeply loyal, grieving disciple. From John's Gospel,  chapters 10–20, the episode retells the raising of Lazarus, Thomas's despair at Christ's death, his honest demand for proof, and his moving confession, "My Lord and my God." The message emphasizes Jesus's patient restoration, Thomas's later mission and martyrdom, and practical encouragement for believers facing fear and uncertainty today.

The message begins with a personal family story about baseball and habits passed down through generations, illustrating how traits and influences leave lasting marks. In the same way, God's “fingerprints” can be seen in our lives through the character of Christ passed on to His followers. The focus is on the apostle Thomas. While he's often remembered only as “Doubting Thomas,” the sermon reframes him as Courageous Thomas. In John 11, when Jesus decides to return to dangerous Jerusalem to help Lazarus, Thomas boldly declares, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.” This shows loyalty, courage, and willingness to risk everything to be with Jesus. The sermon emphasizes that Thomas's courage came from Jesus himself, who modeled ultimate courage in confronting religious leaders, protecting the vulnerable, resisting temptation, and going to the cross. After the resurrection, Thomas carried this courage across nations, bringing Christianity as far as India, where he was eventually martyred. The takeaway is that no personal weakness, excuse, or past failure can stop God from working through us. With the Holy Spirit, the same courage that lived in Jesus—and in Thomas—lives in us. The invitation is to surrender excuses, claim God's courage, and follow Jesus wherever He leads. fmhouston.com

We all know him as “Doubting Thomas”—but is that really fair? In this teaching, we take a closer look at Thomas' story in the Gospel of John and discover: • Why nicknames in the Bible matter (and how Thomas got his) • What his name “The Twin” really means • How his doubt might actually mirror our own journey of faith • Why doubt and faith are not opposites, but twinsFrom John 11 to John 20, Thomas shows us that faith isn't about certainty—it's about trust, risk, and the courage to keep following Jesus even when we're unsure.If you've ever wrestled with questions, wondered if doubt disqualifies you, or longed for proof that God's promises are real—this message is for you.

Your doubts might be the place Jesus wants to meet you.  We're not the type of church to have a patron saint, but if we did, it might be “Doubting Thomas.” We live in an age of unrelenting doubt. It infects and affects us all. Thomas heard the resurrection story and flatly declared, “I will not believe.” This is the story of how Jesus meets us in our doubts. Whether you've been hurt by faith, wrestled with hard questions, or just aren't sure what you believe anymore, this conversation is for you. Jesus doesn't shame or belittle doubters—He invites them closer.

Full Text of ReadingsFeast of Saint Thomas, Apostle Lectionary: 593The Saint of the day is Saint ThomasSaint Thomas’ Story Poor Thomas! He made one remark and has been branded as “Doubting Thomas” ever since. But if he doubted, he also believed. He made what is certainly the most explicit statement of faith in the New Testament: “My Lord and My God!” and, in so expressing his faith, gave Christians a prayer that will be said till the end of time. He also occasioned a compliment from Jesus to all later Christians: “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed” (John 20:29). Thomas should be equally well-known for his courage. Perhaps what he said was impetuous—since he ran, like the rest, at the showdown—but he can scarcely have been insincere when he expressed his willingness to die with Jesus. The occasion was when Jesus proposed to go to Bethany after Lazarus had died. Since Bethany was near Jerusalem, this meant walking into the very midst of his enemies and to almost certain death. Realizing this, Thomas said to the other apostles, “Let us also go to die with him” (John 11:16b). Reflection Thomas shares the lot of Peter the impetuous, James and John, the “sons of thunder,” Philip and his foolish request to see the Father—indeed all the apostles in their weakness and lack of understanding. We must not exaggerate these facts, however, for Christ did not pick worthless men. But their human weakness again points up the fact that holiness is a gift of God, not a human creation; it is given to ordinary men and women with weaknesses; it is God who gradually transforms the weaknesses into the image of Christ, the courageous, trusting, and loving one.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, July 3, is the Feast of St. Thomas, the Apostle.Thomas, who at first did not believe, became one of the first witnesses to the faith by expressing the fervor of his regained confidence in God, seeing the Man Christ and acknowledging His divinity: "My Lord and my God.""Because you have seen Me, Thomas, you have believed?" said the Lord.Doubting Thomas' weakness of faith reveals how God permits our faults for the sake of our soul's progress, for no mortal man can see divinity.The Lord permitted the apostle to doubt after the resurrection, but He did not abandon him in doubt.It is known that St. Thomas preached the Gospel in Asia beyond the frontiers of the Roman Empire, probably in Persia and possibly as far as India.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Alam mo ba na si Apostol Tomas—kilala bilang "Doubting Thomas"—ay naglakbay hanggang India upang ipalaganap ang Ebanghelyo? Sa episode na ito, tatalakayin natin ang nakamamanghang paglalakbay ni Tomas mula sa Jerusalem papuntang Silangan, ang kanyang mga misyon, mga himala, at ang kanyang pagka-martir sa India. Ang kwento ni Tomas ay patunay na ang pananampalataya ay walang hangganan—kahit sa harap ng panganib at kamatayan.

“Prayer is nothing else than a close sharing between friends.” — St. Teresa of Ávila In this powerful and reflective episode of Draw Near, Kara invites you to explore the deeply personal and transformative nature of prayer as an intimate friendship with God. Using the story of Doubting Thomas in John 20, Kara reflects on how God responds to us when we ask, and gives us exactly what is needed. Jesus enters the locked rooms of our lives... those places we try to keep hidden. You'll be guided through a visual prayer meditation that helps you encounter Jesus in those very spaces. Is there a room in your life where you've closed the door on God? He's already standing among you, ready to meet you with peace and transformation. Whether you're seeking a deeper relationship with Jesus, struggling with doubt, or yearning for vulnerability in your spiritual life, this episode offers a quiet, sacred space to reconnect with the God who calls you friend. Perfect for: Catholics and Christians seeking to deepen their prayer life, grow in intimacy with God, or explore spiritual friendship, especially through Catholic meditation and imaginative prayer. Discussion Questions for Reflection or Group Use: In the visualization, what was it like in the room? What did you see, feel, or notice? What locked door in your life is God asking you to open? How is God calling you to grow closer to him in friendship? Scripture for Meditation: John 20:19–29 – Jesus appears to the disciples and to Thomas in the upper room.

The story of Jesus and Thomas assures us that Jesus really rose bodily, that his patience surpasses our indwelling sin, and that we need not see to believe.
