Aches… Invitation For Encounter | April 27, 2025

Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor

Referenced Scripture:
John 11:16, John 20:24-29, Matthew 28:17-17

Reflection Questions:
1. Our doubts are often disappointments in disguise. Are there any disappointments that are defining your experience?

2. Thomas was honest enough with himself and the other disciples that he was disappointed with the resurrection. Do you have a group of people you can be that vulnerable with?

3. Read and underline Matthew 28:16-17. What does it tell us about the heart of God that he put the keys to the kingdom in the shaky hands of people who were something less than certain?

4. Thomas cries out “My Lord and My God” after his interaction with the risen Jesus. Do you believe, or are you willing to believe that there is a loving God who is greater than yourself who wants to have a relationship with you?

5. Scripture shows us, in people like Thomas and Abraham, how the process of revealing both our trust and lack of trust stretches our faith. Where have you been demanding certainty (around a decision, a course of action, or a future uncertainty) where God might be using “strategic ambiguity” to grow you more?

6. What have you been taught, or assumed, that doesn’t make sense or causes you to keep your distance from God?

7. Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection reveal he always makes the first step towards being all in for you and I. What step might he be inviting you to take this today?

What’s your next step?
