Resurrection People – Raising Doubt
On Sunday 15h May Ben talked aout ‘Raisng Doubt’ using the story of Thomas from John 20:19-29.
Ben says: “I somehow forgot to include an important final point in this talk. In acknowledging our doubts and worries it is good to allow ourselves to “doubt our doubt” and allow question how we feel or what we currently think. Like Thomas we can allow Jesus to meet us and lead us through doubt into greater levels of faith and trust.
If you want to talk more about questions or doubt do chat with someone you trust (perhaps in your Kairos Community) or get in touch with me.
