Some Doubted
Matthew 28:16-17
Ever wonder why some who witness the power of God, doubt?
The Bible records countless places where people have doubted God.
We need only see the evidence of that in the Jews’ wandering through the wilderness for forty years.
But here we have Jesus’ own disciples doubting!
How could they doubt Him?
I. We see unsaved people who doubt God.
A. The unbeliever who witnesses the power of God but never trusts in Him.
B. living in a general state of unbelief leads to suspicion.
II.
We see Christians who doubt God.
Reasons they doubt.
A. No experience seeing God’s provision.
The average Christian man or woman today has no real experience in the need to trust God for daily necessities.
B. Pride - A need to be in control.
Christians like all people, don’t like to let God take control of their lives; they like to run things themselves.
C.
There are differing degrees of faith.
(Romans 14:1)
The Apostle speaks extensively about this.
There are many believers who are not as strong in the faith as another, and yet God loves them.
1844 Tithe In Prison
Richard Wurmbrand of Tortured for Christ said that when in prison they tithed!
“When we were given one slice of bread a week and dirty soup every day, we decided we would faithfully “tithe” even that.
Every tenth week we took the slice of bread and gave it to the weaker brethren as our “tithe” to the Master.”

23 Redhead Boy’s Self-Testing
When 20th Century-Fox advertised in the New York papers to fill a vacancy in its sales force, one applicant replied: “I am at present selling furniture at the address below.
You may judge my ability as a salesman if you will stop in to see me at anytime, pretending that you are interested in buying furniture.
“When you come in, you can identify me by my red hair.
And I will have no way of identifying you.
Such salesmanship as I exhibit during your visit, therefore, will be no more than my usual workaday approach and not a special effort to impress a prospective employer.”
From among more than 1500 applicants, the redhead got the job.
—Irving Hoffman
