Matthew 28 — "They Saw the Risen Jesus… and Still Doubted" — Dr. Joel Hastings — January 4, 2026 - Audio

What do you do when you’re trying to follow Jesus… and your heart keeps bouncing between worship and doubt? In this message from Matthew 28:16–20, Pastor Joel Hastings walks us through the Great Commission and highlights one of the most surprising details in the entire scene: “they worshiped Him, but some doubted.” Before Jesus sends His disciples into the world, He calls them to Himself—because we can’t live “sent” lives unless we’re first being formed by Him. Here’s what we’re learning as we begin our new series, Formed & Sent: Jesus isn’t looking for the most impressive people—He’s looking for disciples who will keep their eyes on Him, come back to worship, and obey… even in the middle of doubt. Here's a couple key takeaways • Jesus calls you to Himself before He sends you out. • Doubt doesn’t disqualify you—it’s an invitation to believe and obey again. • When you take your eyes off Jesus, you sink… but a simple prayer still changes everything: “Lord, save me.”
