A View of Faith
It’s pretty easy for
us to slam Thomas for his doubts about Jesus’ resurrection. Thomas had seen
the wonders of Jesus’ miracles, including three instances when Jesus had

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Disciples of our Risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ:

Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father,
and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Ministry of Reconciliation
Grace, mercy, and peace be unto you from God our Father and
from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
Is there injustice and inequality in this life? Yes, of
course! You’ve experienced it, and I’ve experienced it. Either at the hands of
someone else or at our own hands where we have…
Exposition on 5th and 6th Commandments
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, Amen.
