Doubt: Faith in the Shadows #4 | Will God Protect Me?

Bible Reading: 2 Kings 6:8-23Preacher: Pastor Jonathan HoffmanDate: 13th July 2025Big Doubt: Is God calling me?Big Idea: We are all called to serve Christ in his Mission. All doubts of our calling disappear as we focus not on ourselves but upon Christ alone.SERIES OVERVIEWThough doubt is often characterised as the absence of faith, our series will instead spotlight doubt as the shadow-side of faith.  This series, titled “Faith In The Shadows,” canvasses a series of stories from the whole Bible about various types of doubt and its accompanying burden.  Although exploring doubt may be unconventional in a sermon series, we trust God to minister to us through holy scripture. He calls us to be “merciful to those who doubt” (Jude 22) and so we hope this series kindles faith in believers and unbelievers alike.The selection of stories is based upon a recent book from Philip Ryken, I Have My Doubts: How God Can Use Your Uncertainty to Reawaken Your Faith (Crossway 2024).
