April 16, 2023 Sermon - What About My Doubts?
This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:
"What About My Doubts?"
The fact is that Christians are susceptible to doubt for a variety of reasons.
- One of the most common reasons is personal experience. When we face difficult situations, such as illness, financial troubles, or relationship problems, we may question God’s goodness and wonder why he allows these things to happen.
- Another reason Christians may doubt is due to intellectual challenges. Sometimes, we may encounter ideas or arguments that challenge our beliefs or raise questions we can’t immediately answer. This can cause us to doubt whether our faith is indeed based on truth.
- Additionally, Christians can be susceptible to doubt due to the influence of others. We may question whether we are on the right path if surrounded by people who do not share our faith or criticize our beliefs.
- Christians may also experience doubt due to spiritual struggles. We may feel distant from God, struggle with sin, or have unanswered prayers, leading us to question whether God is truly present.
Doubt can be overcome by seeking and experiencing the risen Christ: When Thomas expressed his doubts, Jesus did not scold or shame him but instead appeared to him and invited him to touch his wounds.
In the same way, we can overcome doubt by seeking to encounter the risen Christ through prayer, scripture, worship, and fellowship with other believers. As we experience the reality of Jesus’ resurrection, our doubts can be replaced with a deep and abiding faith.
