    "Christ Power Over Our Doubt”
    Mark 6:35-37
    QUESTION: Will we seek Jesus in the doubt?
    People in the Bible who struggled with doubt.
    Thomas
    Peter
    John the Baptist
    The disciples
    Mark 6:35-37
    35 Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. 36 Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat.” 37 But Jesus said, “You feed them.” “With what?” they asked. “We’d have to work for months to earn enough money to buy food for all these people.”
    Doubt is not unbelief.
    3 Areas of Doubt
    God’s Existence
    A most common doubt.
    If we think we can wrap our minds around and all-knowing, omnipresent and omnipotent creator of space and time then we sorely overestimate our capacity for understanding.
    There is hope.
    Colossians 1:15-20
    Although God is mysterious, he is also relational. He wants to be known and has made a way for us to know him.
    God’s existence is revealed in Jesus.
    God’s Goodness
    If God is good why do bad things happen?
    God’s goodness is revealed in his nearness.
    Self
    Self-doubt is the voice of the enemy
    God will work through our doubt
    Jesus Power Over Doubt
    Jesus answer to the disciples “with what?” “How many loaves do you have?”
    Jesus answer to our doubt.
