Sermon 2013.12.29 "Being There" (John 20:19-31)

This is a sermon crafted by Nate Melcher and delivered at Excelsior United Methodist Church on Sunday, December 29, 2013. The examined text is John 20:19-31 (NRSV) and you'll find some context and the text before the sermon. Personal Notes: The final line was an epiphany I had in my writing process and it was an excellent "God moment" when I stumbled upon it; I personally find it very good news, indeed. I found two sources particularly enlightening and extrapolated from them, including the Abingdon Preaching Annual 2013 (an essay by Lawson Bryan) and WorkingPreacher.org commentary from Karoline Lewis. Thank you for your watching, subscription, and comments.
