In today's episode, pastor Smelcer shares John 20:21 (KJV): The Bible says, "Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." This verse captures Jesus commissioning His disciples after His resurrection. He gives them peace and purpose, sending them out just as the Father had sent Him. It’s a call to continue His mission—sharing the gospel, serving others, and walking in obedience. It reminds believers that we are sent into the world with divine authority, purpose, and the presence of Christ.
Commissioned With Power
In this episode, pastor Smelcer shares John 20:27–28 (KJV): The Bible says, "Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God." These verses highlight the moment Jesus lovingly addresses Thomas’s doubts by inviting him to see and touch His wounds. Thomas’s response is a powerful confession of faith. This passage reminds us that Jesus meets us in our doubts with grace, offering assurance and inviting us into deeper belief and personal relationship with Him.
From Doubt To Declaration
In today's episode, pastor Smelcer shares Luke 24:15 (KJV): The Bible says, "And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them." This verse beautifully illustrates how Jesus draws near to His followers, even when they don't recognize Him. As the two disciples walked and talked on the road to Emmaus, Christ joined them in their journey. It reminds us that in times of confusion or searching, Jesus is present—walking with us, listening, and ready to reveal Himself in His perfect timing.
The Risen Christ Walks With Us
In today's episode, pastor Smelcer shares John 20:19 (KJV): The Bible says, "Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you." This verse captures a powerful moment of comfort and reassurance. The disciples were gathered in fear, yet Jesus appeared among them and offered peace. It shows that Christ meets us in our fear and uncertainty, bringing His presence and peace. No barrier—physical or emotional—can keep Him from reaching us.
Peace After The Storm
In today's episode, pastor Smelcer shares Luke 24:3–6 (KJV): The Bible says, "And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen..." These verses proclaim the powerful truth of Christ’s resurrection. When the women came to the tomb, expecting to find Jesus’ body, they were met with angelic messengers announcing that He had risen. It is a declaration of hope, victory over death, and the fulfillment of God’s promise. Jesus is alive, and this truth changes everything for those who believe.
