“I believe; help my unbelief.” In this week’s message from Flourishing Grace Church, Lead Pastor Benjer McVeigh closes out our teaching series “Jesus, What Do I Do With That?” by addressing one of the most personal and pressing questions of the Christian life: What do I do with my doubt? Preaching from Mark 9:14–29, Pastor Benjer walks us through the powerful encounter between Jesus, a desperate father, and a demon-possessed child. The disciples have failed to help. The crowd is confused. The father is exhausted. And in the midst of this chaos, he utters one of the most honest prayers in Scripture: “I believe; help my unbelief.” For many of us, this is more than a quote—it’s our reality. Doubt is not just intellectual; it’s circumstantial. It comes from pain, from silence, from watching life fall apart when we expected Jesus to show up. This message reminds us that doubt is not something to hide—it’s something to bring to Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered whether your doubts disqualify you from following Jesus, this sermon offers a compassionate yet challenging word. Pastor Benjer explains that doubt is often seen as a detour from faith, but in reality, it’s a necessary part of a flourishing relationship with Christ. We don’t need to have everything figured out before we move toward Jesus. In fact, trying to suppress our questions only leaves us vulnerable when life’s hardest moments arrive. You’ll hear why it’s not faith versus doubt, but faith in the midst of doubt that matters. Drawing from real-life stories, biblical insight, and pastoral experience, Benjer offers a message full of grace for the struggling and hope for the skeptic. Here are some of the key themes explored in the message: • Doubt is not a sign of weak faith—it’s often a step toward deeper faith. • Jesus welcomes our honesty more than our performance. • Real faith doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means knowing where to take your questions. • Dependence on Jesus is the key to breakthrough, not religious technique or striving. This message also highlights the danger of viewing faith as a formula—something we must master or perfect. Instead, we’re invited to embrace a posture of dependence, a life where prayer is not just a practice but a way of staying connected to the source of life itself. Even the disciples—those closest to Jesus—struggled when their expectations didn’t line up with their experience. They had previously cast out demons and performed miracles. Yet in this moment, they failed. Jesus gently reminds them, and us, that power without prayer leads to spiritual dryness. We are called to stay connected to Him—not just to “do the work” but to know the One who empowers it. If you’re in a season where God feels distant, where questions outweigh answers, or where your faith feels more fragile than firm, this sermon is for you. Pastor Benjer doesn’t offer quick fixes. Instead, he gives us a true invitation: Bring your doubt. Bring your heart. And trust that Jesus is trustworthy. You’re not alone. Your questions are not too much for God. And today might just be the moment you take one honest step toward Jesus, not because everything is clear, but because He has proven faithful.
