Icebreaker Activity
- Seat the youth in a circle.
- Ask someone to ask the person on his/her right a question. He might ask, for example, ‘What color is my shoe”
- The youth questioned must answer with a response that rhymes with the question. He might say, for example, “It’s any color but blue.”
- He/she then turns to the person to his/her right and asks a question which must again be answered in rhyme.
- Do this until every person in the circle has answered.

Conclusion
Everyone has questions and doubts. Doubts alone are not a cause for concern. Its what we do with our doubts that makes a difference. Even though we may not understand the reasons for things, we must take our doubts to God and place them in his hands. Thomas had doubts about the resurrection of Christ, but Jesus did not condemn him for them. In fact he gave Thomas the evidence he needed to remove his doubts and live by faith.
Application
What are some of your doubts that you need to place in God’s hands?
