I Surrender All - "My Doubt"

"I Surrender My Doubt"

Dr. Gary Singleton

“I surrender all.”  It has a nice ring to it – right?  Most of us don’t know exactly what it means, but we are completely in favor of surrendering all to Jesus – just as long as we can keep control of certain areas.
 
Nowhere is this desire to maintain control in our life more true than when it comes to doubt.  We want to trust that God is in control.  We want to believe that He will show up, and keep His promises, and provide for us.  But we have this nagging doubt that pulls back on the reins of full surrender.  Can I really trust God enough to let Him have full control?
 
This Sunday as we continue our sermon series “I Surrender All,” we’re going to talk about surrendering our doubt to Jesus.  We’re going to take a look at the story of Gideon found in Judges 6.  Gideon was a judge who was sent by God to deliver the people of Israel.  We would expect Gideon to be a mighty man of God.  But Gideon wasn’t a particularly courageous guy.  In fact he was pretty normal, and he struggled a lot with doubt.
 
I hope you will join me Sunday as we learn from Gideon that we can trust God even in our doubt.  Gideon shows us that God does not reject us because of our doubts.  He meets us there.
