This Sunday at Valley Road: Faith, Doubt, and the Problem with Certainty
Last week we began our new series, Letters from a Skeptic, and this Sunday we continue the conversation by exploring faith, doubt, and our deep attachment to certainty.
For many of us, faith has been presented as having all the right answers and holding them with confidence. But what if certainty isn’t the goal of faith? What if Scripture invites us into something deeper—trust, relationship, and perseverance, even when questions remain?
This week, we’ll look at Hebrews 11 and the long, honest journey of faith found throughout Scripture, including the story of Job—a man who refused easy answers and was commended by God not for his certainty, but for his honesty. We’ll explore why doubt doesn’t disqualify us from faith, how clinging too tightly to certainty can actually be harmful, and what it looks like to build a faith centred on Jesus rather than on having everything figured out.
If you’ve ever felt unsure, stuck, or hesitant to ask hard questions in church—or if you’ve felt confident but want to learn how to hold that confidence with humility—this conversation is for you. Wherever you find yourself, you’re welcome here.
