In this special Easter worship service, we’re sitting with one of the biggest questions of faith: "Is resurrection real?" Pastor Allison shares a thoughtful and hope-filled message about what resurrection means—not just in the Easter story, but in our everyday lives. Please join us for a time of music, scripture, prayer, and reflection as we explore this powerful mystery together. Wrestling with Doubt | Rev. Allison Jean | First United Methodist Church of Richardson

Certainty is virtually impossible, and the Bible is full of people who doubt. Doubt is a path to deeper faith, yet if we hang onto doubt, it will paralyze us. So we look to deepen our faith by examining difficult questions, and we implore the prayer from Mark 9:22-24 - “Lord I believe, help my unbelief.” Wrestling with Doubt | Dr. Clayton Oliphint | First United Methodist Church of Richardson

At the new year, we often want to reset and ask important questions: Who are we? What are our values? What are our goals? As Christians, we don’t come up with these ideas out of thin air.

Join us as we dive into our FUMCR values and discover the way Christ shows us how to live them out. In this sermon, Pastor Clayton u...
