Message for Today: Kirk Evans “The Reality of the Resurrection” John 20:26-29 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Secret Church 2015 - “Christ, Culture, and a Call to Action” Friday, April 24 * 5:30 pm – 12:10 am Woodland Hills Church of Christ, 2484 SE 68th Street, Pleasant Hill The culture around us is constantly changing. How do Christians live in a world rampant with behavior contrary to God’s Word?
