Postlude
Doubts are a natural part of a life of faith because faith is not certitude. Faith is following Jesus in spite of sometimes not fully comprehending it all. Our doubts should not be explored in isolation but in community.
If you have doubts about your faith we would love to walk with you on that journey.

1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
