April 12th, 2026

This is Not the End of Your Story

  • How faith shows up in the small things
  • Why compassion matters, even when it’s riskey
  • What it means to trust God when it takes time
  • How gratitude can transform us
  • Why prayer is worth holding onto

From Pastor TJ’s sermon this past Sunday on John 20:19-31 – the passage often associated with “Doubting Thomas”:

“And some of the most powerful faith you’ll ever see is not the person who never questions – it’s the person who questions and keeps moving torward Jesus anyway.

– Pastor TJ Lynch
