Overcoming | Week 2 | Doubt

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 9, 2025 41:06


In this powerful exploration of faith and doubt, we're reminded that questioning our beliefs is not only normal but can be a pathway to deeper spiritual growth. The sermon centers on Mark 9:24, where a father cries out, 'I believe; help my unbelief!' This honest admission becomes a model for our own spiritual journeys. We learn that doubt is not the opposite of faith, but rather an element of it. The story of 'Doubting Thomas' is reframed, showing us that Jesus meets us in our uncertainties, not condemning our questions but inviting us into a more profound experience of His presence. This message encourages us to bring our doubts to God, assuring us that He is big enough to handle our questions and loving enough to welcome us as we are. As we navigate our own spiritual uncertainties, we're called to create safe spaces for others to express their doubts, fostering a community of authentic faith.
