Ever hear something that was simply beyond your capability or willingness to believe it? Like the Red Sox overcoming a 3 games to none deficit to defeat the Yankees in a best of 7 series in 2004, or a lobster that is blue, or person that killed a mosquito with a dart.

Some things just go beyond our understanding of how things are supposed to work, or seem so improbable that we just can’t wrap our minds around them. And so rather than allow ourselves to be tricked into believing something, that seems impossible, we choose instead to rely on our own first hand experience to prove to ourselves that it’s true.

Last week, we celebrated just such an occurrence. The resurrection of Jesus defies logic, nature, and science, and yet it is the foundation of our faith. This week, as we continue to Dare to Dance in the joy and hope of Resurrection, we hear the story of Thomas, who speaks for us all. Unless I see…I will not believe.

What criteria do you use to affirm your beliefs? How do you overcome your doubts when you can’t see for yourself?

Join us for worship this Sunday at 10 a.m. online or in person as we continue to celebrate Easter learn to Dance as Easter People.
