When Faith Meets Doubt
Alfredo Ramos • •
If you’ve ever prayed for something, waited for years, and watched someone else get it instantly—you know how fast doubt shows up. Even John the Baptist, who once called Jesus the Lamb of God, sat in prison wondering if Jesus was really the One. This message is about why doubt doesn’t mean your faith is broken. In fact, it’s part of the journey. The real danger isn’t doubt—it’s when we let our need for control harden into unbelief. Let’s talk about how to walk through your doubts without losing sight of Jesus.
WHAT YOU CAN DO THIS WEEK
Do you find you’re quick to doubt? What do you do or where do you turn when you’re doubting yourself, God or others? How have your doubts informed your expectations of Jesus? Invite God to help you better understand any doubts you’re currently facing. Read Matthew 11:1-19 reflecting on Jesus’ response to John the Baptist’s doubt and the way He goes on to address the crowd’s expectations. As you read Jesus’ sermon, be real and ask yourself: Which of His points are difficult to understand or apply to your life? How are you encouraged or challenged when it comes to doubt, control, unbelief, or holding onto hope? Pray for an increase of wisdom, peace and hope in those areas where you’re doubting or struggling to hold onto faith.
