Pastor Tami Luckhardt continues our 𝗪𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁, 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 series with a message titled 𝙄𝙨 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡? Nearly every religion throughout history has had some sense of an afterlife. Jesus’ promise to us is that there is something after this life and that when our time in this world is over, he’s coming back to take us home.

More from Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith

Doubt and the Existence of God

February 11, 2024 • Pastor Tami Luckhardt • Psalm 19:1, Psalm 139:3–14, Mark 9:24

Pastor Tami Luckhardt concludes our 𝗪𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁, 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 series with a message titled 𝘿𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙀𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙙. Having faith does not mean we do not have doubt. We all have doubts and that’s okay because doubt can lead to a deeper faith. Honest doubt can help us examine our faith carefully and ask, “Are the things I believe really trustworthy?”

Why Do the Innocent Suffer

February 4, 2024 • Pastor Bethany Nelson • Genesis 1:26–28

Pastor Bethany Nelson continues our 𝗪𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁, 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 series with a message titled 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝘿𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙎𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧? If God is all powerful, knowing and just, then why doesn’t God stop the evil, pain, and suffering in our world? How do we reconcile the idea of a good and loving God with natural disasters, with suffering brought about by human decisions, and with suffering that results from illness? God does not promise that we will not suffer, but God does promise that suffering will never have the final word. God is our greatest source of hope, help, comfort and strength.

Our journey of growing in Christ requires that we rest in the deeper questions of life and trust God in due season to bring forth the answers.
