Worship During the Season of Easter

Welcome to worship at King of Glory Worship and Ministry Center in Carmel, IN!

On this Sunday during Easter, let us worship the one who enables us to show the power of the resurrection in all that we say and do!

If you are able, we invite you to join us for communion where you are! You may use any kind of bread and either wine or grape juice, so that you may also receive the body and blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.

Today's Children's Message

- "Are You Sure?" - Rev. Steve Albertin

- When the disciples told Thomas Jesus is alive, he said, "I'll believe it when I see it!"

- How can we be sure that Jesus is alive and still loves us? Pastor Steve discusses this with the kids.

Today's Message

- "Believe?" - Rev. Steve Albertin

- We have celebrated Easter but the doubts persist.

- We have company! All the witnesses to the first Easter had their doubts too.

- Especially... “DOUBTING Thomas.” But John wants us to know about Thomas not so much because of his doubt but because of his great confession of faith.

- This story of Thomas enables us to look over the shoulders of the late first century Christians who had their doubts just like us.

- It is to such doubters that Jesus speaks risen from the dead declaring that not even such doubt can separate us from the love of God.

- “Blessed are those who have not seen and believe!” . . . Even doubters like us can believe.

Don't forget, you can give your offering online at https://kogcarmel.org/give

We invite you to join us every Sunday at 10am!

Go in peace and serve the Lord!
