St. Paul Lutheran Church

In this first week of Why Do You Pray? We are challenged to make the request of Jesus, "Lord, Teach Us to pray." And in doing so we learn that as we start our prayers we need to remember just who it is we are talking to. Our Father. For the next 31 days we are going to spend it in prayer and you can find these resources on stpaultexas.com this month.

In final week of Doubters Anonymus we talk about the doubt that we have that God can use us for His Kingdom and to accomplish his work. Too often we think that our past failures, our insecurities or our lack of training and skill disqualifies us from serving. Yet when we look at the scriptures and some of the greatest heros of faith we begin to realize they too had a checkered past. Maybe then it's not our strengths that qualify us but our weaknesses that make us perfect candidates for God to use.

In the third week of Doubters Anonymus we hear Jesus address the topic of iffy faith found in a father whose son was facing some great struggles. Yet he was honest with Jesus about his struggles of faith when he says, "I believe, help my unbelief."

In the second week of our series of messages on doubt we look at the big question of, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" Along the way we will examine the fairness of God and see above all that God is good, all the time.

We all wrestle with doubts in life even doubts about our faith. In the first week of this sermon series we wrestle with the issue of can I have faith but still have doubts and questions. Jesus gives us an answer to that in the middle of the night on a lake with his disciples.
