This message from John chapter 20 explores the resurrection appearances of Jesus, focusing on Mary Magdalene and Thomas to reveal the deeply personal yet varied nature of a relationship with Christ. Through these encounters, we see that faith does not look the same for every believer—some experience profound intimacy, while others walk through seasons of doubt or silence. This sermon offers encouragement that both experiences are part of God’s work, reminding us that Christ meets us where we are, speaks peace over us, and calls us into His purpose—whether on the mountaintop or in the wilderness.
