Leap of Doubt: I Still Have Doubts, So I Can't be a Christian
• You might wonder – how could he know me and still love me? If Jesus is God, surely he knows about the terrible things I’ve done, the terrible thoughts that I’ve had. Surely Jesus, if He knows me better than I know myself, knows that I am simply unlovable. But this is where we need to know that the truth of Scripture trumps our personal feelings – the Bible assures us that Jesus knows us and loves us still. This is the amazing grace of the gospel story – not that I have to clean myself up before Jesus will accept me and love me, but that He loves me and accepts me first. He knew Mary’s name. He knows my name. And He knows yours.

Leap of Doubt: You Can't Take the Bible Literally
But the real reason many of us struggle with the inspiration of John 3:16 is not all those background issues – it is simply its content. That I am so messed up in my sin that God had to send His Son to rescue me from my own destruction. The question today, as it has been during this whole series, is whether I am allowing my doubts to keep me from trusting in Christ. Am I allowing my intellectual issues (that really aren’t that strong when we look at them clearly) to cover for my spiritual issues? The Bible says in John 3:16 that eternal life is available to you today if you will simply put your faith in Jesus Christ. He died for your sins and rose again so that you would be able to live with God forever, your sins forgiven, your heart cleansed, God’s wrath completely satisfied. Will you, today, put your trust in Christ?

Leap of Doubt: Science has disproved Christianity
Our only hope in light of this fallen world and our own depravity is that God is at work to redeem us from ourselves and renew his creation. I hope that you will not allow the over-reaches of scientists or theologians to keep you from looking at Jesus. He is the only One who can rescue you from eternal separation from God. He alone can save you from the consequences of sin against our perfect Creator. Today, as I have done every week of this series, invite you into a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. Will you stop making excuses for ignoring your Creator and bow before the cross in humility and faith that Jesus has paid the penalty you could not pay?

The Equation 5
Week five of our series The Equation finds us receiving some valuable instruction from Jesus. He encourages us to put what we have learned into practice. That seems like a very basic statement, right? Then why do we find ourselves retreating back into the darkness in so many areas of our life? Jesus reminds us that a mark of a true disciple or follower of His is a change of behavior, or in other words, putting feet to our theology. As we wrap up this series we will learn what Jesus calls each of us to do to live out our faith. This is week five of the equation.

The Bible is our Weapon and our Playbook get in the Huddle
The Bible teaches us to hear God. It shows the mistakes, the schemes of the enemy and washes us that we learn to rightly divide the Word for success in life and beyond.
