After the disciples have seen Risen Jesus two times now already, at this third appearance we finally begin to see why a risen Jesus matters in the world. Listen in today as we discover 5 key changes that take place only because Jesus is alive.
Tangible Evidence (John 20:19-31)
While the claim of the resurrection of Jesus is a supernatural and miraculous claim, there is tangible evidence for it - both for the fearful disciples hidden in a locked room on the evening of the first Easter, for doubting Thomas, and for modern people like us. Listen in today as we listen to the evidence, as we believe what Thomas saw with his eyes and touched with his hands, and receive from God His greatest gift - the gift of life itself.

Listen in today as we hear this first story about how Jesus Himself comes to us and meets us in our deepest questions of life.
