John - Last Man Standing

John was the only one of Jesus’ disciples to accompany Him all the way to the cross. As such, John offers a unique and powerful account of the events of Jesus’ crucifixion. It is important to John that his readers believe that Jesus lived and died, because what John reports next depends on the acceptance of these two facts. Join us for part 6 of Cross Roads, as Pastor Gary Webber teaches that doubt is a necessary crossroad between unbelief and a pursuit of truth.

Crossroad #6: Will your doubts direct you toward unbelief or a pursuit of truth?

The Truth about Doubt:

1. Doubt is not a sin.
2. Doubt is inherent to faith
3. The same uncertainty that leads to doubt is essential for faith
4. Doubt can lead to unbelief or faith

John at the Crossroads: John 19:23-37

John presents his case:

1. God promised it
   John 19:24 compared to Psalm 22:18
   John 19:28 compared to Psalm 22:15 & 69:21
   John 19:36-37 compared to Psalm 43:2 & Zechariah 12:10
2. I witnessed it
   See John 1:14, 1 John 1:1-4, John 19:35, and John 21:24
3. Others saw it
   See John 19:25 & 1 Corinthians 15:3-6

Question your doubts and feed your faith.
