Scripture: John 20:19-31
Message: A Struggle That Many Share
Pastor Paul Arnold

Among those who struggle with the Christian faith, there are different kinds of doubters. Some people say they have “doubts” when, in fact, they are already strongly leaning towards not believing. That was not the case with the disciple we call “Doubting Thomas.” Indications are that he wanted to believe, but had trouble doing so. This Sunday, we will consider how one of our Lord’s most devoted disciples found his victory over doubt.

Scripture: Colossians 3:12-17
Message: Jazzy Christians
Pastor Paul Arnold

The music of Duke Ellington was strongly influenced by his Christian faith. In a similar way, the day-to-day demeanor and activities of Christ followers are strongly linked with what we believe. This Sunday, April 12, we will consider the spiritual “wardrobe” of a faithful Christ follower, and we will be blessed with beautiful music from the New Orleans Jazz Machine. Please join us for worship this Sunday!
