Jesus' final candid conversation was the proverbial “good news and bad news.”

Jesus was leaving… again. That’s not what anyone wanted to hear. But this ascension was just the beginning; not an ending. In one vast candid conversation, Jesus leaves his disciples (and us) with something hopeful. A purpose to follow—a promise of something now, and something later.

For 2000 years, we have been clinging to this promise (rightly so) but we may have missed some hopeful news.

As we conclude the series “Candid Jesus,” Pastor Ben Feldott of Cape Cod Church shares with us the hopeful news that Jesus is bearing for us all.

The candid conversations Jesus was having with His followers in the weeks after His resurrection were the beginning of something new. Quite literally, He was introducing them to a new world. 

In a way, that is His offer to all of us, a new beginning when and where we need it most.

As we continue the series “Candid Jesus,” Pastor Ben Feldott of Cape Cod Church lets us see how new blessings can still start, how God begins fresh work in our lives and how we can be ready to step into the new.

One of the most famous conversations with Jesus recorded in Scripture was with a doubter—a skeptic. Thomas didn’t start that way. He was a believer and a follower of Jesus. The event around the crucifixion proved too much; not even the assurances of friends could sway him. Thomas was not buying it.

We’ve all been hurt, disappointed, and disillusioned. What happens next, turns out, is up to us.

The path of doubt can lead to cynicism or truth. Thomas was about to find a way out, a way to believe, and he shows us how as well.

As we continue the series “Candid Jesus,” Pastor Ben Feldott of Cape Cod Church shares with us the story of Thomas and how we keep believeing in a world full of cynicism.
