No Longer Slaves

Gospel of John: Seeing is Not the Only Way to Believing

We live in a world filled with skeptics. If we are honest there have been times in our own life when we were skeptical about Jesus, the Bible, faith, love, heaven, or even God. In this message, Pastor Terry Ross dives into John 20, where we see that Thomas was skeptical that Jesus was really alive because he hadn’t seen Him as the other disciples had. Thomas and the other disciples believed Jesus because they saw his resurrected body, but Jesus tells us blessed are those who believe without seeing. Today, you can believe in Jesus and live!
