Peace + Proof > Doubt
Summary
The sermon explores the story of Thomas, the disciple who doubted Jesus' resurrection, using a lighthearted Easter candy rating game as an initial engagement strategy. Drawing from John chapter 20, the message focuses on how distance from spiritual community and practices can breed doubt, with the key scripture emphasizing Thomas' initial refusal to believe without physical proof. The practical takeaway encourages believers to stay connected to faith communities, regularly engage with biblical teachings, and approach doubts with thoughtful inquiry rather than complete rejection.
