Our Sermons

So many times in so many different situations, Jesus does the exact opposite of what we would expect. And that’s not more evident today than in our Gospel.

I want you to imagine that we’ve gone back in time, all the way to 1925. The Pittsburgh Pirates had won the World Series. The Great Gastby was the must read novel. Ford had introduced its first truck. And as you opened up your Montgomery Ward catalogue, you saw an ad for a Victor Victrola Talking Machine, a phonograph which played records.

I know that I’ve expressed this sentiment before, but English can be pretty confusing sometimes. We have another example of that today with a seemingly easy to understand word, “if.”

Doubting Thomas...It’s an unfortunate nickname. Because it wasn’t just Thomas, you know. Unbelief was the default reaction to Jesus’ resurrection.
