Dealing With Doubt

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000

When it comes to Chris-tian truth, God doesn't want us to be skeptics, but I don't think He wants us to be gullible either. In fact, our faith can be strengthened when we ask tough questions and even when we struggle with doubts.

Some people are natural skeptics. My Grandfather was one. When man first landed on the moon in July of 1969 and the TV pictures came back from the lunar surface, my Grandpa thought it was all being faked. He figured those pictures were coming from a desert somewhere in Arizona. Sometimes he was a ...read more

The Price Of Truth

It is special because only those who are wise will see the clothes, while those who are foolish will find them ...read more

When Nothing Seems Possible, Pray

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 14, 2003

When frustration abounds, in prayer we can discover deepened relationships, new possibilities, and ultimately grace.

For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him; therefore your servant has found it possible to pray before you. Isn’t that an intriguing phrase? “Your servant has found it possible to pray.” My theme for today is “when nothing seems possible, pray.” “When ...read more

This sermon examines the life of John the Baptist as a model of servanthood and challenges the listener to look for those qualities in himself.
