The Resurrection Life: Abundance
Bible Text: John 20:19-31 | Preacher: Rev. Seth J. Thomas | Series: The Resurrection Life | Jesus visits the disciples and shares with them the abundant presence of the Holy Spirit. Even through Thomas’ doubts, we find a resurrection life that is filled with more from God than we could ever need — an abundance of peace, presence, and wonder.

Call to Worship
With Mary, whose glad tidings signaled hope
and summoned joy, we proclaim;
We have seen the Lord!
With the disciples, whom Jesus greeted with peace
and freed from fear, we declare:
We have seen the Lord!
Behold! The risen Lord is in our midst!
Let us worship God!
Prayer of Confession
Risen Lord,
you have breathed the Spirit upon us,
and sent us forth to testify
to what we have heard and seen.
Yet we resist this calling.
We yearn for more –
more proof,
more courage,
more guidance,
more faith-
and forget that you have given us all we need:
the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Forgive us, we pray.
Free us from fear
and send us forth to proclaim:
“We have seen the Lord!”
Blessing
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
