THIS EPISODE:
CRISIS ⇢ It has a unique way of revealing so much about our lives, doesn’t it? No one’s immune to it, and when life suddenly goes sideways you find yourself suddenly fact to fact with your deepest fears, core values & character. Crisis has a way of revealing unseen motives, anxieties & core beliefs you may not even be aware of yourself. And yes, crisis can even bring doubts in your faith...and that's OK.
Who we get answers from in the midst of crisis may be more important than the answers we’re seeking. In this episode we'll explore John the Baptist’s struggle with doubt in the face of deep, personal crisis, and draw powerful truths from Jesus' response to him in his pain. Let's unpack this and more in today's message…
PRIMARY TEXT:
Matthew 11:1-5 (NIV)
1 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee. 2 When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” 4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
