Sermon by Dr. Robert Lewis

4/22/2001

Ways We Experience Doubt:

• Theological
• Experiential
• Personal
  • About Me
  • About God

Observations About Doubt:

• Doubt is uncertainty about a thing, not a conclusion.
• Doubt and faith are not incompatible.
• Doubt can be spiritually paralyzing for those who confuse faith with certainty.
• Doubt usually ends in one of three places.
  • A greater faith and fruitfulness
  • Lifeless stagnation
  • Apostasy

How To Deal With Your Doubt:

• Don't be afraid of your doubt - God isn't.
• Talk to people about your doubt.
• Talk to God about your doubt.
• Press to resolve your doubt. Take risks and do research but don't drift in it.
