Sermon notes
God welcomes you into a safe relationship that’s not effected by your certainty. He is not afraid of your questions and doubts.
The healthiest and most biblical way to find hope in the face of doubt is not avoid it but to humbly and honestly walk through it.

Phases of a spiritual journey: construction, deconstruction, reconstruction
Depending on who’s using the word, deconstruction can be a complete demolition of Christian belief, a critical reappraisal of one’s faith tradition or an honest acknowledgment of doubt and questions. – Joe Terrell (Outreach Magazine)
