Pastor Tim preaches on the story of the "Doubting Thomas", and offers an alternative explanation of the disciple Thomas. Thomas has the courage to ask questions before believing or disbelieving that Jesus was resurrected. The beauty of the Thomas story is that it gives us permission to question - to question God, to question our faith, to question our relationship with Jesus. The Thomas story is also a challenge to be open to the questions asked by others. The sermon text is John 20:19-31; the reading of the scripture is included in the podcast. The Rev. Tim Schaefer, pastor, preaching.
