When considering God's word and I say the name Thomas, if you're like most folks, you associate doubt with this man of God. Pastor Lloyd Pulley has a better word association for Thomas that he'll share with us today. We are nearing the end of our series through the gospel of John, and today we wrap up our study in chapter twenty.

Joy Comes in the Morning

Jesús restores Thomas faith.

 Put yourself in the disciple's shoes. They're hearing reports that Jesus is alive and appearing to people. They didn't believe at first, and they were scared of what might happen to them. Now Jesus is about to appear to these fearful disciples. Let's see what happens. Pastor Lloyd is in John twenty, beginning in verse nineteen.

We've been moving verse-by-verse through the gospel of John and today we come to chapter twenty, and the single most important event in human history - the resurrection of Jesus. Who was the first person to enter the empty tomb? It was Mary Magdalene.

It's been well said that if you're not prepared to die you're not really prepared to live. But when you have Jesus you have all you need for life, death, time, and eternity. To explore this glorious truth, from John chapter twenty, we bring you a message titled, "Resurrection of Jesus Beheld", from Pastor Lloyd.

Today, Pastor Mark will explain how the sovereignty of God refers to the fact that God is in complete control of the universe. God does not directly cause everything to happen, yet He does allow all that happens to happen. And, ultimately, God's will is going to be accomplished. You can trust that what the Bible claims about God's character is backed up by His ability. Not only does God love you, but He has the ability to care for you. You can rest in the fact that God is actually able to work all things for your good, even when you cannot readily see how that may happen.

Three days had passed. Mary Magdalene was heartbroken, expecting to visit the tomb of her friend and Savior. But what she found instead was an empty tomb and the beginning of the greatest news the world has ever heard. In this episode, we enter the garden with Mary, run with Peter and John, and hear Jesus call Mary by name. The King who died is alive again—just like He said He would be!Jesus is risen, and everything is changed. Let's walk through the garden and discover the joy, surprise, and hope of resurrection morning.After you listen, head over to ⁠readkaleidoscope.com⁠ and check out the podcast tab to submit your answers for a chance to win fantastic prizes!

John 20:19-23  19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

Pastor Michael continues our Eastertide series and leads us in a collective practice of Visio Divina, using Scott Erickson's artpiece depicting the story of Thomas. How does Jesus meet us and honor our needs- even in the face of our very real doubts?

5/18/25 - John 20:18 - "The Lord Really Has Risen"

Doubt is an experience common to all people. Even those with faith in God struggle with doubt on occasion and say with the man in Mark 9, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”. Some people are hindered greatly by doubt; some see it as a springboard to life, and others see it as an obstacle to be overcome. Today, Pastor Mark will remind you that the remedy to doubt is faith, and faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Once we have an understanding of what God has done in the past, what He has promised us for the present, and what we can expect from Him in the future, we are able to act in faith instead of doubt.

Did you know that LED lightbulbs last nearly ten times as long as incandescent bulbs while only using one-tenth of the power? However, they aren't going to do much good if they aren't turned on. No matter how many lamps you have in the living room, your hallway will never be bright if the lights stay off. In today's message, Pastor Mark challenges you to take inventory of your spiritual house. Is there a light out? Do you have all of the lights turned on? Jesus says that the only way to Heaven is to be born again… so have you been born again? Has the Holy Spirit lit up that dark room in your spiritual house?

What's stopping you from going out there and sharing your faith? Maybe you're shy and don't like talking to people you don't know. Perhaps you don't like conflict and would rather avoid it. Do you feel like if you did, you would be intruding, and would rather not be a bother? In today's message, Pastor Mark teaches that the reason people most often shy away from sharing the Gospel is because they are afraid of getting questions they don't know the answer to. However, if you don't have all the answers, that's okay! As long as you give them the answer… that Jesus died for them on the cross.

Sometimes, when a manager or supervisor gives us instructions, it can be really hard to say, “Yes, sir.” Sometimes, we hear what a politician says and think, “That's a terrible idea!” These things are hard because we have a natural distaste for authority. We are much happier ruling our own lives and being our own bosses. In today's message, Pastor Mark teaches that when it comes to authority, we ought to follow Jesus's example. Sure, He disrupted the course of history, but He followed God's authority. Imagine what your life would look like if you made God the boss of your life and listened to every word He spoke to you.

One of the qualities of a great leader is their ability to humble themselves and connect with the workers at the bottom of the organizational hierarchy. The most loved CEOs are often the ones who pick up trash off the floor when they see it, check in on their employees, and make themselves available. In today's message, Pastor Mark teaches that Jesus was like one of those CEOs. He has every right to sit on a distant throne, but He chose to come down and spend time loving His creation… loving you. Aren't you glad that Jesus understands what you're going through? Aren't you glad that He can relate?

DateMay 11, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we confront the deep human longing to be seen and explore how Jesus transforms our understanding of belonging. When biological families fall short or relationships fracture, Christ offers a radical alternative: a chosen family built not on bloodlines but on the courage to show up with vulnerability and love. Through locked doors and doubt, Jesus demonstrates that true peace comes not from avoiding pain, but from meeting each other in our woundedness.ReferencesScripture: John 20:19–31 About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

There's a saying… “Show me your pocketbook, and I'll show you your priorities.” We could easily replace pocketbook with “calendar,” or even just looking at the screentime report on our iPhones. Have we made work the most important thing in our life? What about the TV show we're watching? A hobby? In today's message, Pastor Mark teaches that your priorities are important. They are what you do prior to anything else. The concern is… where is God in that list? What are you doing prior to spending time worshipping or talking to the Lord? Is there anything higher on the list than Him that you're embarrassed by?

What do Tim Cook, Michelle Obama, and Howard Schultz all have in common? Aside from at least one “O” in their name, they are all incredibly early risers. Apple CEO Tim Cook in particular is known for starting his day at 3:45 a.m. Some of us don't even get to bed by then, let alone even consider waking up before dawn! In today's message, Pastor Mark teaches that walking with the Lord isn't always the easiest. In a busy, busy world, you will never be able to add more hours to your day… so you might as well use what's there. If you're struggling to find time to speak to God, you might just need to become an early riser yourself!

She goes to tell the Apostles. Peter and John run to the tomb and see that it is empty. Not understanding Christ's resurrection, they return home. Mary then sees two angels sitting in the tomb. She turns around and sees Jesus alive and well! She returns to tell the disciples that she has spoken with Jesus. That evening, Jesus appears to ten of His Apostles and gifts them with the Holy Spirit. Thomas was not with them and continues to have doubts. Eight days later, Jesus appears and shows Thomas the piercings in His hands and side. He then says great blessings will come to those who have not seen and yet believe.  The resurrection and appearance of Jesus is the most transformational moment in all of human history. From this victory comes undeniable proof of power over Satan, sin, and death. For us, living after Jesus was raised and ascended, we can see how much hope exists in Christ. However, on the day He was raised, the disciples still had many doubts that left them gripped in fear. Even after Mary reported seeing Jesus, the disciples did not fully believe. Thomas wrestled with doubt a week after Jesus was raised. They had much to learn. This is why John's gospel presents so much testimony for us: so that we will know the truth about Jesus and never live in fear and doubt.      Great Father, we believe. We believe the tomb was empty on the first day of the week. We believe Jesus overcame death and now lives as our risen and ruling Savior. Thank You for fulfilling Your promise to bring us hope through Your Son's victory over Satan. Like Mary clinging to Jesus after He appeared to her, we long to cling to our King and thank Him face-to-face for His sacrifice and love. Dear Lord, help not to be burdened by doubt. May we always stay nourished in scripture, believing the testimony about Christ, and enjoying life in His name.  Thought Questions: -       Disciples throughout this chapter struggled to believe until they saw Jesus. How must your faith be even greater than theirs?        -       Jesus gifted the Holy Spirit to the Apostles as well as the power to forgive sins. How obedient should you be to their teaching? -       What does it mean to “believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name”?

This week we dive into the story of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances, focusing on the disciples' initial disbelief and the powerful encounter with Thomas. We explore faith, doubt, and the nature of Jesus' resurrection, emphasizing the importance of believing in Jesus even when the evidence as circumstantial.   #resurrection #focusonGod #beliefisfaith #believinginJesus #umc

“Unless I see... I will never believe.” Much like Thomas, we've all wrestled with doubts about God's existence and the reality of Christ's resurrection.Today, as we continue The Gospel: One Sign at a Time, our year-long journey through the Gospel of John, Paul unpacks the familiar story of "Doubting Thomas" and reveals that it's not primarily about Thomas's doubt, but about Jesus' gracious response to it.For more in-depth Bible studies, visit PaulTripp.com/John.

“That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! ‘Peace be with you,’ he said. As he spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord!” (John 20:19–20 NLT) If we were telling the origin story of the Christian church, this would be a compelling first scene. A handful of Jesus’ followers hiding behind closed doors, shell-shocked, confused, and too scared to show their faces in public. Suddenly the risen Jesus miraculously appears in the flesh, victorious over sin and death, confirming the truth of everything He taught and promised them. At some point, either while Jesus was in the room or after He left, the truth must have dawned on them. If the One they served is more powerful than sin and death, then (1) they had nothing to fear, and (2) the world needed to know. We see their newfound boldness and sense of purpose in the passages that follow. That’s the power of the resurrection. Armed with that power, this small group of believers changed the world. And most of them sacrificed their lives to do it. According to church tradition, Peter took the gospel to Pontus, Galatia, Bithynia, Cappadocia, and Asia. He was crucified upside down because he told his executioners that he wasn’t worthy of being crucified in the same manner as Jesus. Andrew spread the gospel through what is now Russia, Turkey, and Greece. He, too, was crucified. Thomas wasn’t present when Jesus first appeared to the disciples in John 20. And he doubted their story. But when Jesus appeared again, and Thomas saw Him, his doubts disappeared. He took the Good News of Jesus’ resurrection all the way to India. He died after being impaled by the spears of four soldiers. Philip spread the gospel in North Africa and Asia Minor. After he converted the wife of a Roman official, the official had him put to death. Matthew, the tax collector, traveled to Persia and Ethiopia to spread Jesus’ message. He was stabbed to death. Bartholomew accompanied Thomas to India and also shared the gospel in Armenia, Ethiopia, and Southern Arabia. He was crucified. James, the son of Alphaeus, shared the Good News of Christ throughout Syria. He was stoned and then clubbed to death. Simon took the gospel to Persia. He was put to death there when he refused to make a sacrifice to the sun god. Matthias was the man chosen to replace Judas Iscariot. He shared the gospel in Syria, where he was burned to death. John is believed to be the only disciple who died a natural death. He was exiled to the penal colony of Patmos. The apostle Paul traveled extensively to share the gospel. He was beheaded in Rome. The apostle John ended his Gospel with these words: “Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written” (John 21:25 NLT). Among the “many other things” was the impact Jesus had on a small group of ordinary people. He changed their lives forever. And, in turn, they changed the world in His name. As Jesus’ followers, we’re still called to change the world—one life at a time. We have Good News to share—the best news, in fact. If we’re faithful to our calling, we can impact lives for eternity.

As fear and doubt linger behind the locked doors of the shaken disciples, Jesus arrives to bring peace and purpose to these men.Today, as we continue The Gospel: One Sign at a Time, our year-long journey through the Gospel of John, we step into one of the most transformative moments in Scripture: Jesus' first appearance to His disciples after the resurrection. Paul Tripp reminds us that God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called.For more in-depth Bible studies, visit PaulTripp.com/John.
