A Faith Worthy Of Our Questions

Doubt. We all have it, but we don’t always know what to do with it. The Bible heroes of faith often express doubt, frustration, and ask hard questions of God. Church is intended to be a place for people who practice a thinking faith, a faith seeking understanding. Church ought to be a place where disagreement and doubt does not destroy but leads to discernment. Christ welcomes doubters. Praise God!

“Proof” is the wrong word. We don’t “prove” there is beauty in the artwork or that our spouse is in love with us. But we know it—and it is true and very real.
Is it reasonable to believe in God and in the Christian story? In this lesson, we look at clues in nature, in people, and in the story itself that has given rise to faith all over the world. Part 3 of 4.

We all have a hole in our soul. And we look around at the universe for something to fill it. Youthfulness doesn’t last, money doesn’t heal all wounds, and every technological advancement only makes the problem worse. For some, even religion hasn’t given them the satisfaction they seek. As every day goes by, and we march closer and closer to death, our soul cries out, “is that all there is?”

What if I told you that the God I serve—the God I found in Jesus Christ—provides the answer to the deepest longings of your heart? He can fill that hole in your soul that money, relationships, and even religion can’t fill. And what he offers is no pie in the sky; it will resonate with you.
