The Doubt Series!!!!

This week in Rush Hour we're tackling a subject that everyone at one time or another will wrestle with: Doubt!

Everyone has moments of doubt. We doubt if we are heading in the right direction when going some place new. We doubt if the people in our lives really care about us—even in spite of the evidence that they do. And sometimes our doubts are about God. Can we trust God? Does God really have our best in mind? What does a particular Bible verse actually mean?

When questions arise, they can be a little unsettling, especially questions about faith. But what if God was big enough to handle the questions? He is. What if God was secure enough to handle our uncertainty? He is. And what if doubt actually paved the way to a deeper belief, a stronger relationship with Christ? It can. 

 

On February 21st we'll tackle the subject of Honest Questions.You know those nagging questions that seem to linger in the back of your mind? The ones you hesitate to ever speak out loud, admit you have or let anyone else know you think? Questions like: “Does God hear me when I pray?” “Does He have a plan for my life?” “Does God really have everything under control?” Questions and doubts can be unsettling if they are left unsaid. But when we learn to admit our doubts openly, we learn that we are not the only ones—that everyone deals with questions. And when we learn to live with doubt, doubt can be a tool that strengthens our faith.

On February 28th we'll uncover Gray Matters. It’s one thing to recognize that doubt can strengthen faith—but how do you get there? How do you handle a doubt that you just can’t seem to move past? The ways you have learned about or experienced God in your past are still true in the present, and can be used to pave the way to belief now—in spite of and in the midst of doubt. 

Finally, we'll wrap the series up with Doubt Day Q&A on March 7th. The Impact Ministry Staff will answer questions candidly and honestly as we pursue truth together. The day promises to be an adventure as we touch on the issues and questions important to High School students.

There's great things in store at Rush Hour over the next three weeks. I hope you, your teenager, or a teenager you know will come and be a part of this impacting series! See you soon!

His and Yours,
