    This is about John the Baptist and his doubts about who Jesus was. This sermon gives permission to doubt as long as the believer goes to look for answers.

    Luke 7:18-23 – Room for Doubt and Room for Growth Today we are looking at a story not mentioned very much in sermons. The problem with the story is that it paints a hero of the faith with a quality that we aren’t comfortable with him having. The hero is John the Baptist, and that quality is ...read more

    No matter the problem we are facing, no matter how helpless or hopeless we feel, there is a Christ that cares for us.

    A faithful study of this, the third of the four Gospels, the book of Luke, will reveal that it was written by the beloved physician, Luke. This is one of two books that Luke penned, the other being the Book of Acts. Luke was greatly influenced by the Apostle Paul. It is even suggested that Luke ...read more

  • Doubt, Dignity, And Discovery

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 10, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,978 views

    Often we are not credible because we do not accept others’ doubt as real, nor do we permit them to retain their dignity. We are called simply to invite them on a voyage of discovery where they will find that their hurts are healed.

    What do you do when you try to help, and those you are helping are not sure they want that help? What do you say when someone has a need, you propose an answer to that need, but they don’t believe that what you want to give will really do any good? How do you help people who are not sure they ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,323 views

    John wants to know whether Jesus is the Messiah, because it doesn’t seem that the gospel he’s proclaiming is good news. But it is!

    I guess everyone has some idea what we mean when we talk about the gospel. But I wonder what your preferred translation of that word would be. Is Good News the correct translation do you think? Is the gospel necessarily good news? You may never have thought about that question, but if you do ...read more

    4 of 5 messages. This message addresses the challenge of doubt and how it can contribute to faith.

    I have questioned many things about our faith and the things of God. I am a skeptic. I admit it. Whenever I hear about someone who is suffering from cancer miraculously discovering his or her cancer is gone, I wonder if it can be true. I doubt.

    ...he who has been forgiven much, loves much! Only the broken are useful for His purposes.

    Empty and Broken The road of my life is pocked with “empty and broken” moments, as I’m sure many of your lives have been.

    John the baptist doubts Jesus which leads him to ask questions about Jesus.

    Doubt Doubt is a part of life. We believe in a God who is all powerful and magnificent and yet we have never seen Him. Without doubt there could be no faith for all we would have would be certainty. Sometimes we think of doubt as the opposite of faith. That is not the case. Unbelief is the ...read more
