As the Father has loved us, we are called to love one another. Growing in

love for others begins with being grounded in our own belovedness.

We were made to relate, but sadly we often relate to others in less than

loving ways. Changing this begins with addressing how we relate to the God

who loves us perfectly as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

As we conclude our Investigate Series, we look at the historical fact of

the apostle Paul's dramatic conversion after encountering the risen Christ

and the last competing theory that attempts to explain the resurrection

appearances as hallucinations. We continue to find that the best

explanation for the known facts is that Jesus rose from the dead.

Join us as we investigate the implications of the open and empty tomb of

Jesus.

Some believe that Jesus is God, others don’t believe Jesus even existed.

What can we know about Jesus, his death, and his resurrection based only on

the data accepted by skeptical, non-Christian scholars? Join us as we look

at the historical facts that Jesus died and that Jesus' followers claimed

and believed that he rose, as well as the competing Apparent Death Theory

and Fraud Theory.

In this week’s encounter, we find Jesus with a stubborn disciple who struggles to overcome barriers to believing in the resurrection. The way that Jesus graciously responds shows us that we can freely bring our doubts to him and receive strength.

We all have a sense we need to be good. More than that we sense we must be

good enough according to some standard. What’s less clear is how we get

there. In this encounter with Jesus we learn percisely what it takes.

When we really blow it, our first reaction can be to hide from God. But

Jesus’ response to Peter’s epic fail in the scriptures invites us to ‘swim’

quickly to Jesus.
