““I ain't going to believe it until I stick my fingers in his side.” (doubting Thomas)”
A sermon on the Table of Covenant (Luke 22) explaining how Jesus fulfills the old covenant and establishes a better, final covenant through his blood. Communion is presented as a transformative, relational invitation that creates new identity and family, not a stale ritual.
“Doubting Thomas: 'Unless I see the resurrected Jesus I won't believe... blessed are you who believe and haven't seen.'”
Pastor Reginald W. Sharpe Jr. preaches from John 21 urging listeners to "let him cook" — to let Jesus work in His timing and way. Using the breakfast-on-the-beach scene and pastoral stories, he outlines several "collisions" believers face (familiar vs. calling, fear vs. God's faithfulness, attachments vs. assignments, guilt vs. grace) and calls for trust, obedience, restoration, and response.
“Reference to Jesus appearing to Thomas and showing his wounds (the encounter in John 20).”
A Metro Coast Restored Church Sunday service featuring worship, communion, testimonies and a sermon teaching that God uses wounds for good — calling believers to tend their wounds, be forgiven and generously support missions.
“The Thomas account: ‘Unless I see the print of the nails… I would not believe,’ and Jesus replies, ‘Put your hand in my side… Be not doubtful, but believing.’”
Using Psalm 73:1-7, the preacher explores Asaph’s honest struggle with envy and doubt when he observed the prosperity of the wicked. He defines five types of doubt, explains how doubt leads to worry, delusion, and misdirection, and urges the congregation to stop treating the building as the church and instead come as the church to worship. Worship in the sanctuary restores perspective, brings clarity, and renews faith; there is also a call to repentance, discipleship, and taking part in communion and fellowship.
