SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:

1. When you’re about to buy something online and you’re unsure, what do you usually do—read reviews, ask someone, avoid it altogether, or just take the risk? How does that connect to how you handle uncertainty in life?

2. The sermon talked about moments when faith stops being theoretical and becomes personal. Can you share a time when your faith was tested by real life—pain, loss, unanswered prayer, or disappointment?

3. Why do you think doubt often feels shameful in church settings, even though the Bible is full of people who questioned God?

4. The message described unproductive doubt (quitting without searching) and productive doubt (leaning in with questions). Which one do you tend to fall into, and why?

5. Matthew 28:17 says that even after the resurrection, “some doubted.” What does it change for you to know that Jesus still entrusted doubting disciples with His mission?

6. Looking at Thomas’ story, what stands out most to you about how Jesus responded to his doubt—and how does that shape the way you think God responds to yours?

7. The sermon said, “God is not distant in your doubts.” Where in your life right now do you need to believe that this is true?

8. Based on today’s message, what is one next step you feel invited to take—asking an honest question, staying engaged instead of pulling away, showing up even with doubt, or creating space for someone else’s questions?
