Are You Sure?

Preacher:
Passage: 2 Peter 1:12-21
Service Type:

In the absence of certainty, there is always room for doubt and hesitation. This is Satan's garden and He tends it well. Consider the case of Thomas. He was absent the first time that Jesus appeared to the rest of the apostles. Because he had not seen the resurrected Lord, he refused to believe. Eight days later, Jesus appeared to them again, this time with Thomas present. He challenged Thomas to reach out and touch his hands and side in order to examine the wounds left from the crucifixion. Thomas saw, believed and cried out, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:27-28). Jesus' response to Thomas' confession is interesting: "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed." (John 20:29) Thomas came to certainty by faith.

But our faith is not without knowledge - it is based upon a book which stands the test of time. Will you submit your life to its teachings?
