In life often seeds of doubt start to take root and choke out the hope and belief that once was so easy to possess.

Doubt: A feeling of uncertainty. The questioning of the truth or fact of something.

Evidence: The available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true.
What you focus on makes a difference. (Doubt or Evidence)
Not all questions are honest questions.

“Some questions seek answers, some questions seek exits.” -Tim Barnett
1. Personal Evidence of Jesus Resurrection

26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” John 20:26 (ESV)

Proximity makes a difference.

27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:27-29 (ESV)
2. The Evidence of Ancient Witnesses

"3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me." 1 Corinthians 15:3-7 (ESV)

Jesus’ disciples encountered a person they believed to be the risen Jesus.
-Eleven recorded times Jesus appeared to people proving that He was resurrected.

Throughout history people have been willing to die for a lie that was believed as a truth, not many have been willing to die for a truth that was presented as a lie.
3. The Evidence of Changed Lives

Wherever the Gospel was preached lives were changed.

Autostereogram: Some people know matter how hard you look they just can’t see it.

It doesn’t make you a bad person if faith doesn’t come easily.

Sometimes you have to trust the testimony of someone that has seen and experienced the living Savior.

Faith doesn’t require us to have all the answers, but it calls us to trust in the evidence we have.

The Resurrection is the answer to all doubts.
