Now What?

Last Sunday we celebrated the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The message about the love of God through Jesus Christ!!! And what a grand celebration it was!!! Now, a week later it seems as though the disciples have gone back to their old routines asking the question “NOW WHAT?” Many times in our own lives we have asked this same question…..the death of a loved one….a troubling medical diagnosis…..a change in lifestyle…NOW WHAT?

While Thomas is one of the characters of this “Sunday after Easter” saga, Peter and John are also trying to figure out what happens next. And they turn to a prayer that creates a “disturbance”. They were compelled to continue to share the story with a courageous confidence they had not felt before. It was the uniting force that was needed for the community of believers after the resurrection experience. Not only were they united in sharing the story of the resurrection, but also in the care of others.

Do we have that same courageous confidence to share our experiences of God’s grace in our lives? Imagine the difference in our world if we had that same kind of enthusiasm and excitement as if it were the first time we experienced “resurrection”?

Series Information

In this sermon series, the story of the early church unfolds before us. Many of the challenges they faced are the same (or very similar) to the ones we face in 2018. Questions around leadership, why we should believe in the first place, who to believe and the age-old question of who is “in” and who should be kept “out”.
