In this week's service, Pastor Bob shares with us some thoughts on dealing with doubt during uncertain times.
Dealing With Doubt
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 [NIV]
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 [KJV]
Taste and see that the Lord is good; Psalm 34:8 [NIV]
If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. John 7:17 [NIV]
“If you don‘t have any doubts you are either kidding yourself or asleep. Doubts are the ants in the pants of faith. They keep it awake and moving.” (Frederick Buechner)
How do I deal with doubts?
Dare to Doubt
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” “From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.” 23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” 24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark 9:21-24 [NIV]
Open Yourself Up to Grow
"Come now, let us reason together," says the Lord. Isaiah 1:18 [NIV]
Understand
Battle it out with God
I cry to You for help O Lord…why O Lord do You reject me and hide Your face from me? … My soul is full of trouble…You have put me in the lowest pit…in the darkest depths…is Your love declared in the grave? Your faithfulness in destruction…? I…am in despair. (Psalm 88, selected verses)
