Questions are a natural part of faith. Sometimes they arise from curiosity. Other times, they come from doubt, disappointment, or experiences we cannot easily understand. Rather than ignoring those questions, we can bring them honestly before God and seek answers in His Word.

This fall, FRC is focusing on Deeper Discipleship, helping each of us take meaningful steps in becoming and growing as followers of Jesus. Deeper discipleship does not mean having every answer or never experiencing doubt. It means learning to bring our questions to God, listen carefully to His Word, and allow His truth to shape what we believe and how we live.

Beginning September 20, Important Questions of Faith will explore foundational questions about God, suffering, truth, purpose, and Jesus. Whether you are exploring Christianity, wrestling with doubt, or seeking to grow in a faith you have held for years, you are invited to join us.

The Sunday message is only the beginning of the conversation. Each Monday through Friday, our Bible reading plan will guide you through passages connected to that week’s question, giving you an opportunity to continue exploring what Scripture says.

As you read, take time to notice what each passage reveals about God, how it speaks to the week’s question, and what response it invites from you. These short daily readings offer a simple and meaningful way to spend time in God’s Word and continue growing in your faith.

Reading plan bookmarks are available at the Welcome Center, or you can download the plan here.
