Hello, Upper Room family. This is Chris Seedman. I serve as pastor of the Branch Church.

I'm a longtime friend of Michael and Larissa Millers and a huge fan of what God is doing in the work of the Upper Room.

It was my privilege to share a word with the Upper Room in this weekend services. And so that's what you're

about to hear. It's from John chapter 20. You know, belief is a journey. And sometimes it takes a while

for realities when it comes to who Jesus is and what he's all about to really sink into the core of who you are.

Don't give up on that journey. You'll hear more about this journey in this message.

God bless you, and I pray it blesses your heart.

And I'm so blessed to be here this morning. If you would open up your Bibles to John chapter 20, that's where we'll be in just a second.

John chapter 20.

I know a lot of you, by the way, are praying for Jason Bowley and his wife, Laura.

I got a great report at 9.54, in fact.

By the way, Jason Bowley was one of those with Michael Miller on our living room floor in 2005 at 135

Newport in Coppell, Texas, where we still live today.

Praise God is right.

And Jason's wife, of course, was blessed to have a child last weekend, but there have been

some complications.

Sepsis set in this past week.

She's at Baylor.

It's been a dire situation.

Last night, Michael led us all in prayer for her as circulation and pulse needed to return

to her extremities at 9.54 this morning while we're in worship.

Jason Bowley texted and let us know that a pulse has been detected
