Doubt is something uniquely human - we all have doubts, we doubt ourselves, at times we doubt loved ones, ideas and institutions. In the Christian community doubt is often frowned upon and leads Christians to criticize other Christians for their lack of faith. This is sad. Doubt can strengthen our faith as it allows us to ask questions - it allows us to seek answers to things that don't make sense or that seem at odds with what we know today (centuries later). This sermon reflects on John 20:19-31 and the story of "Doubting Thomas."
