Grace That Finds Us
About this episode
This episode explores the message of peace offered by Jesus to a group of frightened believers, focusing on the story of Doubting Thomas.
Listen to the April 12, 2026 Sunday worship service from Zionsville United Methodist Church in Zionsville, IN. We know the story of Doubting Thomas — but we've probably missed what it's really about. It's not just a story about one man's skepticism. It's a story about a room full of frightened, grieving people who had heard the best news in human history and still couldn't bring themselves to believe it. Sound familiar? This week's message, delivered by Indiana Conference United Methodist Bishop Tracy S. Malone, takes a close look at what happened in that locked room — and what it means that Jesus walked right through the door anyway. Not to confront anyone's failure. Not to demand more faith. Just to offer peace. If you've been in a season where fear feels louder than hope, where you're going through the motions but the doors are still locked on the inside, this message was preached for you. https://www.zumc.org/sermons
