Week 1: Thomas
Easter declares that Jesus is alive—but what happens when you’re not sure you believe it?
In Week 1 of our Encounter series, we look at Thomas, one of Jesus’ closest followers, who struggled to believe the resurrection. His honest doubts led to one of the most powerful personal encounters with Jesus.
Scripture: John 20:24–29
Week 2: Mission & Vision
Before there were church buildings, denominations, or even the New Testament… there was a mission.
In Week 2 of Encounter, we look at Jesus’ final instructions to His followers in Matthew 28:16–20. The resurrection wasn’t just meant to inspire us—it commissioned us. Jesus calls His followers to go, make disciples, baptize, teach, and live with the confidence that He is still with us.
Scripture: Matthew 28:16–20
Week 3: Holy Spirit & Power
Jesus’ resurrection was not the end of the story.
Before ascending into heaven, Jesus promised His followers they would receive power through the Holy Spirit. The mission He gave them would be impossible without God’s presence working in and through them.
Scripture: Acts 1:1–8
