John 20:24-31

From Doubt to Faith

Thomas' encounter with Jesus risen from the dead is the classic account of doubt giving way to faith. But Thomas' faith was based on seeing Jesus face to face. How can we believe if we cannot see? Is the evidence for the resurrection convincing for us today?

Faith Alone

One of the blessings of justification by faith is the assurance of salvation that it gives. By looking at the life of Abraham, we’ll consider why justification by faith alone is the only basis for real assurance, and what kind of faith it is that receives justification.

Boasting Excluded
