Sermons

we begin a new series of zegen-sermons looking at the life of Samson – a flawed hero with “The best of starts” – Judges 13

In our final part to “from the Ashes we Rise” series of zegen-sermons Ellen Carter explores the story of Peter as he comes face to face with the risen Jesus. Peter had denied him three times – now Jesus is risen and shows Peter what the future beholds. This was third time that Jesus revealed himself to the disciples.

Continuing our look at some of the appearances of the resurrected Jesus, Rupert Lazar takes a look at this famous event from Johns Gospel (20:24-29) and asks why we have made Thomas out to be the one who is vilified for doubt when in reality he is like many of us questioning and examining the truth.

If truth be told, we all have doubts; we all search for the truth and often only believe what our eyes can see, what we experience through our senses. Perhaps when we satisfy our inquisitive minds our response would also be like Thomas “My Lord and my God” Like Jesus says “blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
