Faith Community Fellowship

Mark 6:17-20Matthew 11:2-6,11Our doubts are often caused by:a new realitya good environment or opportunitya negative circumstanceMost of our doubts are self-centered.How do I carry my doubts with me as I follow Jesus?Look BACK at God's faithfulness.Look OUT at God's work in the lives of others.Look AHEAD to a vision of what could and should be, in spite of what is.

The good news is you can be a follower of Jesus and bring your doubts with you.The question isn't "are you going to have doubt?", the question is "what do you do with your doubts?"John 6:53-69
