In today's episode, I delve into a profound passage from the Gospel of Luke, recounting the extraordinary moments following the resurrection of Christ when He appeared to His disciples. I begin by illustrating the scene where two individuals from Emmaus share their extraordinary encounter with the risen Jesus, only for Him to suddenly be among the gathered disciples, offering peace amidst their fear and doubt. It's a compelling reminder of the intense emotions the disciples experienced — shock, disbelief, and joy — as they grappled with the reality of the resurrection. As I reflect on the narrative, I emphasize the gentleness of Jesus in addressing the disciples' fears. He kindly invites them to recognize that He is not a ghost, inviting them to touch His hands and feet and even sharing food with them. This act of sharing a meal serves as a powerful symbol of connection and community, reinforcing the notion that Christ desires to be intimately present in our lives — not merely as a distant teacher, but as a close, loving companion. I address the need for believers to confront their doubts and to allow the truths of scripture to penetrate their hearts deeply over time.Throughout our discussion, I draw parallels between the experiences of the disciples and the struggles we face with doubt. I encourage listeners to challenge their doubts, posing the poignant idea of "doubting our doubts." By engaging in open dialogues within community, we can balance our skepticism with the comforting truths of Scripture, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us toward understanding and clarity. Moreover, I highlight the vital importance of Christ's nearness. Jesus does not merely acknowledge the disciples' disbelief but draws closer to them, filling them with joy and wonder. I explore the transformational effect of being in His presence, reinforcing that this nearness is not just about intellectual understanding but a deeply relational experience. I reflect on the profound joy that comes from knowing Christ intimately, even as we navigate our mixed emotions.As the narrative continues, I discuss how Jesus reminds His disciples of the fulfillment of scripture — showing them how their current experience aligns with the prophecies concerning the Messiah. I emphasize that it is not only about recognizing scriptural truths but that God Himself opens our minds to truly grasp the depth of these revelations. In sharing the responsibility of being witnesses to what they have seen and experienced, I encourage listeners to consider their own call to share their testimonies of faith in a world that desperately needs hope.Finally, I convey a message of hope that transcends our present struggles. Christ's resurrection does not promise us an escape from pain but reveals that He is redeeming our suffering and ultimately brings wholeness and renewal. I share the inspiring testimony of Johnny Erickson Tada, whose faith exemplifies this hope, as I connect it back to the ultimate promise of renewal that awaits all believers. As I wrap up, I lead a heartfelt prayer, asking the Lord to ignite our hearts with passion for Him, encouraging both believers and seekers to embrace this pursuit of a deeper relationship with the risen Christ.

A fair question to ask a relatively new church is, "Why does there need to be another one?" There are currently less than 200 Starbucks in the state of South Carolina. There are more than 1,200 churches in the greater Columbia area alone. So yeah, why did we think there needed to be another one? Over the next several weeks we are going to walk through our answer to that question as we unpack the vision of Emmaus Church. Whether you're new to church, a big fan of church, or not so sure anymore, you're invited to jump in as we find our way together.
