Scripture Reading and Interpretation (Psalm 42) Reading of Psalm 42, focusing on the soul's thirst for God and the experience of being taunted by others questioning God's presence. "As the heart panteth after the water brook, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." Recalling past experiences and pouring out one's soul. Acknowledging feelings of being cast down and disquieted, but encouraged to hope in God. Remembering God from the land of Jordan and the hill of Bazaar. Acknowledging the depth calling unto depth amidst life's overwhelming challenges. Trusting in God's loving-kindness and song, even in the darkest nights. Questioning God in times of oppression but ultimately finding hope and praise in Him. Prayer and Invocation Seeking God's unction and will, asking for divine guidance in speaking and delivering the message. Expressing gratitude for the day, the place, and the people present. Personal Testimony and Reflection Reflecting on past hard times and tears, now seen as a source of nourishment and strength. Hardships and difficult situations were challenging at the time. Looking back, one can see God's faithfulness. Sharing personal experiences of bondage and torment before finding salvation in Jesus Christ on September 28, 2014. Experiencing torment and not even realizing it. Jesus Christ was sent to die for an unworthy soul. The importance of returning to the "old altar" where tears were shed, symbolizing a return to the foundational experience of faith. The enemy tries to undermine faith and make one feel inadequate. Recalling past experiences of God's faithfulness to combat doubt. Recalling a Monday night when feeling defeated and questioning the call to preach. Questioning salvation and feeling overwhelmed. Hearing a message from the pulpit about God finishing the good work He started. Experiencing multiple messages reinforcing this theme, leading to a powerful prayer experience. Finding strength and sustenance in past tears and struggles, using them as a reminder of God's faithfulness when facing current doubts. The tears cried on that Monday night now provide sustenance. Using past experiences to combat doubts about salvation. God's Faithfulness and Provision Reflecting on God's goodness to oneself, family, and church, urging others to recognize God's faithfulness in their own lives. Acknowledging seasons of hardship but emphasizing God's promise and faithfulness to His people. Enduring hardships and trials. God is not slack concerning His promises. Sharing anecdotes of Valerie and Kinsey as examples of God's faithfulness in their lives. Valerie's story of questioning God but later recognizing His faithfulness. Kinsey's healing and recovery, providing encouragement for future trials. Recognizing that personal shortcomings are the only barriers to God's faithfulness. God never lets anyone down. The only way God's faithfulness fails is if we let Him down. The Story of Joseph Referring to the story of Joseph in Genesis 37 as an example of enduring hardship and God's ultimate plan. Joseph's brothers were jealous and sold him into slavery. Asking where God was in that situation. Highlighting Joseph's journey through slavery, imprisonment, and eventual rise to power in Egypt. Joseph was sold into slavery and ended up in Potiphar's house. He was falsely accused by Potiphar's wife and imprisoned. Reflecting on Joseph's potential feelings of abandonment and questioning God's plan during his trials. Wondering why God was allowing these things to happen. Recognizing the difference between oneself and men of God who trust in God's faithfulness. Emphasizing that Joseph's hardships were necessary for him to be in a position to save his family from famine. Joseph interpreted the dreams of the butler and baker in pr...

Is it okay to question God? In this honest and hope-filled message, Pastor Ben Young says yes—and shows us how Scripture invites us to bring our doubts, struggles, and big questions directly to Him. Looking at Psalm 10 and stories of real faith wrestlers, we're reminded that questions aren't a threat to our faith—they can deepen it. If you're searching for clarity, don't miss this message. Let your questions take you on a quest.

In today's episode, we're wrapping up our Personal Story Summer Series with Michael Kier, author of Waging War Against OCD: A Christian Approach. Michael shares his honest journey through scrupulosity, intrusive thoughts, and how grace—not striving—transformed his view of God and mental health. Episode Highlights:What it's like to live with scrupulosity (religious OCD) from childhood into adulthoodHow to tell the difference between conviction from God and intrusive OCD thoughtsWhy legalism, fear, and shame often get tangled with our view of GodHow becoming a parent deepened Michael's understanding of graceWhat it really means to walk by faith—not fear-driven compulsionsFree Webinar: Calming the Inner Chaos: Tips for Christians Seeking OCD Treatmenthttps: www.carriebock.com/calm/ Explore the Christians Learning ICBT training: https://carriebock.com/training/ Carrie's services and courses: carriebock.com/services/ carriebock.com/resources/Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/christianfaithandocd/and like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/christianfaithandocd for the latest updates and sneak peeks.

“O Lord, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide when I am in trouble?” (Psalm 10:1 NLT) A Sunday school teacher gave the kids in her class an assignment to write down any questions they had for God. Here are some of the questions, comments, and suggestions they came up with: Dear God, did You mean for the giraffe to look like that, or was it an accident? Dear God, I like the Lord’s Prayer best of all. Did You have to write it a lot, or did You get it right the first time? I have to write everything over and over again. Dear God, thank You for my baby brother You gave to us, but what I prayed for was a puppy. Dear God, how come You haven’t invented any new animals lately? We still have just the old ones. Dear God, I bet it is very hard for You to love everybody in the whole world. There are only four people in my family, and I just can’t do it. Dear God, in school we read that Thomas Edison made light, but in Sunday school, they said that You made it. I bet he stole Your idea. If you’re new to the Christian faith, you may have your own questions, comments, or suggestions for God. (And if you’ve been a Christian for most of your life, you probably still have questions, comments, or suggestions for God.) The questions may be tough. They may seem impolite. They may suggest a lack of faith on your part. Ask them anyway. That’s what the psalmists did. Look at Psalm 10:1 above. Those pointed questions are heartfelt cries. And God responds to our heartfelt cries—not with anger or punishment for questioning Him, but with compassion and understanding. He gives us wisdom and peace. He opens our eyes to spiritual truths we can’t see on our own. Few people in Scripture were closer to God than David, the shepherd who killed Goliath and later became king of Israel. First Samuel 13:14 describes David as “a man after God’s own heart.” Yet look what he wrote in Psalm 13:1–2: “O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way? How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?” (NLT). He poured out his soul to God because he knew God would see his questions for what they were: genuine attempts to understand God and His will. The apostle James offered this advice: “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind” (James 1:5–6 NLT). God welcomes your questions because the more answers you receive, the stronger your faith will grow. Reflection question: What questions would you like to ask God?

Habakkuk's questions don't have a simple resolution. His prophecy ends with a view of God's awesome wrath, with the crops barren, a day of calamity coming, and a song of praise on his lips. What does that mean for you and me when we're stuck in traffic and when we get the diagnosis?Episode Transcript

It's the age-old question—if God is all-powerful, all-good, and all-knowing, why does evil exist? How can He let it go on? The existence of evil is one of the most challenging aspects of Christian faith. Yet, the question hinges on assumptions about God, ourselves, and the world around us.Do you have a question you'd like us to answer? Email us at podcast@austinstone.org.Episode Transcript

For this year's Easter message, Pastor Eric takes the conversation about doubts and questions a step further by examining the disciple known as "Doubting Thomas" and shares how questioning God isn't such a bad thing after all.

Many of us have had honest questions about the Christian faith, and some of them may prevent us from moving closer to God. How we answer those questions makes all the difference!  John Hopper has wrestled with many common concerns about life, God, and the Bible. He says “If Christianity involves anything worth believing, it ought to make sense first.” John addresses crucial questions so we can confidently take our next steps with Jesus!

Have you ever experienced those moments when everything in your life feels like it's spiraling out of control, you cannot get a moment to breathe, or the storm hits you from out of the blue? Then, only a miraculous turn of events unfolds in the final hour. It's as if divine intervention occurs when hope seems lost, leaving your enemies trembling from anger and shock at moments in disbelief. To make matters worse, they feel you have done similar evil to bring about your blessings. They want to know why goodness works in your life and you glow while their life feels dark. Well, this happened because God is watching them and watching you, and He stepped in to destroy the storm they imposed over your peace. For those who need to hear this, your enemy is enduring the bitter fruit of their choices, facing the stark consequences that life has dealt them because they tampered with God's plans as if delivered with divine precision straight from God. Their refusal to walk in faith and embrace the path illuminated by the Almighty has led them to this moment. They hear God but do not want to believe He is coming through for you. To add to their drama-wrecked life, they are now wrestling with doubts, questioning the very actions of The Creator, and searching for answers in a reality that feels increasingly unjust to them. Not only does the enemy want answers, but they also want God's plans for you to stop, and they reap the benefits. And, because they won't stop, things will get worse for them.   Check out this episode and sign up for a session. http://seriouslyfocusedjohnnie.com/ ✓Store: https://teespring.com/stores/seriously-focused-johnnie ✓Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/s.f.johnnie/ ✓YouTube  Seriously Focused Johnnie   ✓For suggested topics, put in the subject box “Topic…,” and the email address is  sfj.peace@gmail.com   ✓My intended goal is to educate and bring people closer to God.

Jeremiah understands God's righteous character which is why the flourishing of the wicked does not make any sense to him. Jeremiah's questions are coming from a place of personal crisis. He has just found […] The post Questioning God – Part 2 (Jeremiah 12:7-17) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

Most of us spend our lives avoiding pain at every turn, so when we do experience it, it can send us into a tailspin. We can begin to question why God even allows it, why He doesn't stop it, and if we can really trust Him in it. Well, bestselling authors and pastors of Fellowship Church, Ed and Lisa Young, know the kind of pain most of us hope never to experience—the death of a child. And on today's episode, they'll share how they went from sorrow and anger to hope and healing. This conversation is real, raw, and so incredibly relevant to where we all live as we face pain, regret, and grief. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/294
