Piercing Questions - A Question of Doubt

Welcome to episode 226 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, Pastor Drew continues our study, "Piercing Questions: From the One Who Was Pierced." Today we will cover:
• A question on Doubt.
• “Why did you doubt?” — Matthew 14:31

Key Takeaways:
• Great faith can quickly become great fear — and fear opens the door to doubt.
• Doubt is a lack of confidence in God’s character, God's power, or God's promises.
• We can see God move powerfully and still allow doubt to creep in.
• Doubt grows when human logic overshadows faith.
• Satan uses doubt as one of his oldest tools — 'Did God actually say?' (Genesis 3).
• Doubt pulls our eyes from the Protector and fixes them on the problem.
• Doubt is defeated by remembering what God has done, what He has promised, and who He is.

Quotable:
• “The wind and waves were always there — doubt overcomes us when we give more attention to our problems than our Protector.”
• “Once we understand what God has done in the past and promised for the future, we can act in faith instead of doubt.”
• “Faith is stepping out — fear keeps us from stepping to Jesus.”

Application:
• Recognize that doubt is a confidence problem — not a circumstance problem.
• Ask God to help your unbelief (Mark 9:24).
• Remember His deeds (Psalm 77:11) and His promises — faith comes by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17).
• Submit your logic to God’s truth — don’t let reasoning overshadow faith.
• Keep your eyes on Jesus, not the wind and waves.
• Worship as your response — let it anchor your heart.
• Take your step out of the boat — obedience builds faith.
