Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 10\/15\/23 by Josh Tkacik. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Listen as Josh Tkacik discusses how even bold disciples will encounter doubt <\/strong>as he looks at Luke 7. Jesus extends grace in the face of our doubt.<\/strong> Doubt is not at odds with faith. Unbelief is at odds with faith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At some point in your life, you will experience a crisis, crossroad or event that will shake your spiritual foundation <\/strong>just as John was shaken sitting in that damp jail cell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus’ practice of offending people was to expose their hearts. <\/strong>The same events that produced John’s doubts, Jesus used to answer John’s questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone can believe in fair weather. God offers us a deeper experience in our adversity. The question is will you follow a God that you do not understand. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The application to our lives is that Christ isn’t subject to our personal opinions.<\/strong> Jesus is kind. <\/strong> Jesus is not angered at John’s doubt. You will get offended in your deepest relationships. Being offended is inevitable. Living offended is a choice. <\/strong><\/p>\n
