Doubt & Evil Study
The Faithfulness of Doubt and the Politics of Evil
April 27th – May 18th
Easter is a season of celebration but also confusion. The disciples do not yet know what to make of the resurrection. The disciple Thomas demanded to touch Jesus’ wounds. Does this make him sinful? For two weeks we will focus on how the historic church had classified doubt and disbelief as evil. We will use our lectionary readings from the gospel of John chapters twenty and twenty-one to peer more deeply into church teachings and our own hearts.
Drop in for one or all Sunday scripture studies. Each study is about 45 minutes long. Reflection pages are provided each week.
We will meet in the parlor at Trinity UMC following coffee hour on Sunday mornings. (511 Oak Street, Colusa) Anyone may attend regardless religious background, belief, Christian experience, or church affiliation. Enjoy a lively discussion and snacks.

Way of the Cross Detail

Way of the Cross
History
“The Way of the Cross” contemplation originated with pilgrims and crusaders to Jerusalem following the steps of Jesus to Golgatha. For centuries, Christians have remembered Jesus’ final days in pictures placed along a path or as a printed sheet.

Questions

What passage in this scripture most resonates or offends you? Why?
How did you walk through an awful situation? Did this experience change your understanding of, or connection with, God?
When have your shown courageous love by going the distance for someone?
What does the cross mean to you, personally?

Prayer
Jesus, help us be awake with you in Gethsemane.
Help us stay awake and unafraid
as we walk a path through suffering.
Help us resist the impulse to pin you down,
to fit you inside a story and inside a book that can be shut.
Help us resist the impulse to pin ourselves down,
to fit ourselves inside a story too small for our souls.
The truth is too big for a book– it’s loose in the world.
Christ, help us be awake with you in the world.
Help us stay awake and unafraid
as we walk a path through suffering.
Amen.
