The service begins with several of the youth from the churching sharing testimonies of how God worked in and through them during the summer ministries. Jared, the youth pastor, addresses the congregation after the youth segment, emphasizing the challenges faced by young participants. He introduces a sermon focused on John 20, the story of Thomas, the disciple who doubted Jesus’ resurrection until he saw Jesus’ wounds himself. Jared conveys key themes: God’s sovereignty, His welcoming of our doubts, His invitation to experience Him, and the blessing of believing without seeing. He encourages honesty in faith struggles, reassuring that God’s rebuke is loving and that He invites us to deepen our belief and reliance on Him.
