10/22/2023- Ep 24.2: "Doubt and Disbelief"

In Matthew 11:1-11, we are reintroduced to John the Baptist who has been imprisoned while Jesus’ministry is flourishing. While imprisoned, John has some doubts about Jesus being the Messiah. His doubts rise from some of the same sources that doubt grows from in our lives; namely, difficult situations, unmet expectations, and limited perception. Jesus’ antidote for John’s doubt is the same for ours: God’s Word, and what Christ has done. While John could only look at the miracles Christ had done, we can look upon the cross, where Christ bore our sin and shame.1. How has doubt been a struggle in your own relationship with God? What truths from God's Word were the most difficult to believe in the midst of your doubts?2. How can difficulties, disappointments, and suffering feed into our doubts?3. Why is it futile to fight doubt apart from the foundation of God's Word? Hosted on Acast.
