Life Shows up

John 20:19-31, Romans 5:1-5  

Introduction

John 20:19-31:

  • The Resurrection (John 20:1-18) AND the events of the week following it (today’s passage) are the climax of John’s gospel.
  • The passage is deeply spiritual and miraculous, yet it speaks to even deeper truths about God’s initial creation and the new creation Jesus commences among the disciples.

Summary

We will explore:

  • the relationship between Genesis and the Second Sunday of Easter and what they may mean to us now.
  • how God’s revelation rarely conforms to our own expectations  – it certainly didn’t for Thomas – how our expectations of what God does and how he does it mean can lead to disappointment. We will seek to understand how we need to expect less and hope more.
  • We will also explore doubt and its impact on belief.
