Teen Church: Dealing with Doubts
Dear Parents,
Our discussion in Teen Church today focused on dealing with doubts from the series entitled "My New Life With Jesus". Every Christian walks through times of doubt in their faith journey. Doubt is normal and even healthy. It's what we do with our doubts that's important. Our discussion will focus on the Genesis account of Abraham and Sarah. God promised the couple a child in their old age, and even though Abraham is regarded as a faith hero, he still doubted God's promise.
Please have a conversation with your teenager this week about doubt. You can begin with these questions:
When have you doubted Jesus or one of his promises?
How do you think Jesus feels about our doubts and questions?
What makes you feel comfortable or uncomfortable sharing your doubts? As a family, how can we support one another in that area?
Next week's discussion will focus on Prayer and how we can take our concerns to the Father.
Thank you for your ongoing support and prayers for our ministry!
