Sermon – Pastor Mike Halstead

Chained By Doubt, . . . Set Free by Faith

Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

I. Doubt

– If God is a loving God then why are still bad thigs happening to me and others?
– The Bible was ok for my grandparents, but not realistic today.

– Sometimes I wonder if God is even real.
– I believe in God but unsure if He loves me or hears my prayers.
– I pray, but deep down do not feel I deserve his blessings.
– I prayed nothing happened so I am not getting my hopes up. – If He has a good plan for my life how long do I have to wait?
– One day I feel spiritually strong, the next day I’m full of doubts.
Ephesians 2:13, 19-22 
II. Faith
–  I am sure God knows me and loves me “the Bible tells me so.”
– I believe God answers prayers and miracles can still happen.
– I don’t understand everything about God, but I will follow where he wants me to go.
– I believe God wants to bless me and have Life To The Full.
– Even when it seems impossible, I will pray in the name of Jesus like it is possible.
– Even in my struggles and pain, . . . Lord give me opportunity.
