John 20 – Renovaré

Pastor Brian Goke shares Thomas’ encounter with the resurrected Jesus in a powerful conversation with our high school graduates. Thomas – an honest, loyal, courageous believer in Jesus, had doubts; as will they. Confidence in faith can be shaken by turbulence. As Thomas learned, it is not helpful to distance oneself from the body of Christ – the church – when experiencing doubt. Instead, it’s best to remain connected, ask deep questions, and examine the evidence. Then, a personal relationship with regular penitence and surrender solidifies confidence and assurance. Commence the next season with the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace!
