The Benefits of the Doubt
Pastor Vecente’ Coatney’s sermon retells the story of “Doubting Thomas” from Thomas’s own perspective, showing that Thomas wasn’t an unbeliever but a committed disciple whose trauma made belief difficult. He teaches that doubt is not a disqualifier to faith but a human experience that, when brought to Jesus and lived out in community, can actually drive deeper discovery, encounter, and transformation. Ultimately, Jesus meets Thomas—and us—with empathy, evidence, and empowerment, turning doubt into a doorway for renewed faith.
