In the second sermon in the Relationship Series, Pastor Leah speaks passionately about how our relationship with Jesus Christ progresses through three stages (believe, belong, become) and how this relationship has huge implications for how we live our lives.
After talking a bit about Doubting Thomas in John 20:24-31, Pastor Eugene uses two ideas - friendship/fellowship and food - to walk us through the true meaning of Easter and the resurrection.
In the prologue of John's Gospel, John gives us the theological explanation of the historial accounts of Jesus' brith recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. He introduces us to a God who is both "big enough" and near enough, a God who "speaks our language," One that we can relate to at a personal level. This is the heart of the Christian faith: "The [eternal] Word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory...full of grace and truth...Jesus Christ. 32:49 minutes (5.64 MB)
Pastor Eugene preaches on Easter Sunday about…doubt, pessimism, and cynicism. Thomas was a disciple of Christ but yet, wrestled with doubt and pessimism only to have his faith deepened by those very things. 49:08 minutes (8.44 MB)
