Asking for a Friend: Can You Follow God and Still Have Doubts?

Maybe you feel like you’re the only one? Or you worry, “If I ask, what will they think of me?
When you doubt you can feel like a spiritual failure or have gone apostate and fear being judged. But we want you to know this is a safe place to ask hard questions. God isn’t scared of your doubts and neither are we.

Asking for a Friend: When does God give up on you?

 In this series, we are going to bring up the issues we all deal with that don’t often get dealt with. 

 

Today’s question:

Asking for a friend, when does God give up on you? Like how bad is too bad for God? Is there some sin or something we could do that God would never want us?

Vision: What to do when things get tough

We have gone over 4 of our 5 values and the vision/mission for Bridgewater Church. Each week, as people have had the opportunity to respond to God’s word, next steps have been taken— and yet, when we take next steps we have to realize that at times our choices will be unpopular and we may even suffer to some extent. So, what do we do when things get difficult? How should we respond? The natural tendency is to be discouraged and complain. But what if God is actually up to something good!

Vision: Everyone Has a Next Step

No matter where you are in your journey to become like Jesus, everyone has a next step. Sometimes that step is big, other times it’s small. But what many don’t realize is that often your next step isn’t just about you. What if your next step was to help someone else take their next step?

Becoming the G.O.A.T.

If you want to spark a highly spirited debate among sports fanatics just ask, “Who was the greatest?” Though most of us have no chance of being the greatest at a sport, if you live these two principles, you can be the greatest person on earth.

The Good Work: Commitment to a Community

The third and last step toward a national spiritual awakening may be the most counter-cultural of all. Could it be that this old, outdated, traditional idea is the missing ingredient to a spiritual revival in your life and beyond?

The Good Work: The Flame of Prayer

We all know what prayer is; it’s asking God for help. But what if that’s not what most prayer is about? What if there is more to prayer than we have always thought? And what if those missing prayers are what is needed to not just change an individual life, but to change a nation.
