Questions/Issues Discussed:

Thomas is infamous for doubting the resurrection of Christ. Are there others in Scripture who doubted? What were their doubts? Pastor Jarrett reminds us of Abraham, Moses, King David, Job, and John the Baptist, saying: “Doubt is normal, because doubt is natural.”

What is the problem, though, with doubt? Why is it so dangerous? Pastor Jarrett explains how doubt leads to unbelief, which makes doubt dangerous.

Does Scripture address the dangers of unbelief? (Matthew 13:58; Hebrews 3:12)

Can unbelief also lead to a hardened heart against God and the resurrection of Jesus? (Revelation 21:8)

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

DO #2: Can Jesus bring us understanding over time? John Piper: “God is always doing 10,000 things in your life and you may be aware of three of them.”

DO #3: Can Jesus bring us understanding in communion? Were the disciples’ eyes open to who Jesus was when they took communion after his death and resurrection? (1 Corinthians 11:26)

FINAL THOUGHTS:

How often do you go to church? How often do you gather with other Christians outside of church? Why is community important? (Hebrews 10:24-25) Pastor Jarrett reminds us that Satan wants nothing more than to see our faith waiver and his first attack is keeping us from other believers.
