ACTIVATE - Week 3

When it comes to mixing chemicals, you don’t always know what will happen. One chemical might cause a huge reaction while another might deactivate the entire experiment. When you think about it, the same thing is true of faith. There are things in our lives that have the potential to either destroy or fuel our faith. And one of those things is doubt. Most of us have probably been taught that doubt is a bad thing because it deactivates our faith. But what if doubt could actually have the opposite effect? What if doubt became the thing that built up and activated our faith? Peter, one of Jesus’ closest friends and followers, dealt with major feelings of doubt. But as we’ll learn from Peter’s experience, our doubt doesn’t have to be a bad thing. In fact, it’s when we go to God with our doubt that our faith can be activated in a whole new way.
