Faith & Doubt, Signs of the Resurrection

Scripture: Acts 4:32-35; Psalm 133; 1 John 1:1-2:2; John 20:19-31

Last week we asked what Easter means to us, considering the different gospel accounts of Mary, Mary Magdalene, Salome, Peter and John encountered the risen Lord. Mark's gospel account said that the women were filled with trauma and ecstasy. Consider John's account of the twin, Thomas, and the relationship between faith and doubt in The Rev. Chad Vaughn's "Missouri, 'My Fair Lady,' and the Mission of the Church."
 This week we ask what the Resurrection means to us. Consider the account of the early church in this week's passage from Acts, and "All are Welcome Here." How do we as a Christian community today compare with the early church?

Finally, consider The Rev, Dr. Guy Sales, "Signs of the Resurrection."
