Thomas | John 20:28

Maybe you've always thought of the disciple Thomas with some degree of disdain, like perhaps he's maybe just one step above Judas Iscariot. Today, we're going to see that God used Thomas in some pretty important ways. Thomas decided to follow Jesus, and his life was transformed. Jesus can transform our lives, too.

Mary of Bethany | John 11:5

John | Matthew 4:21–22

During his life, the Apostle John changed from a brash young man who wanted to call down fire from Heaven on the heathen to a loving old man whose message was consumed with Christ’s followers loving one another. What happened? How did this one who wanted to sit at Jesus’ side in His messianic glory become humbled to the point that he simply delighted in being called God’s child and seeing his spiritual children walk in truth? Join us as we see how John decided to follow Jesus, and his life was transformed - and how our lives can be transformed by Jesus, too!
