This Lord’s Day we come to the long-awaited finale of our study of Habakkuk. In the climactic conclusion (3:16-19), we find that the prophet’s vision of God (3:1-15) gave him an indestructible joy, even in the face of great sorrow. It oriented him to the majesty of the eternal God who gives strength to his…

In the concluding chapter of Habakkuk, the prophet shares a vision of God’s glorious self-revelation. Reflection on God’s character and works in history brings peace in troubling times.

The third chapter of Habakkuk presents the climactic conclusion of the book. The prophet no longer questions God. In opening verses to the chapter, he humbly embraces the Lord’s will. He includes one request, “in wrath, remember mercy.”

In last week’s sermon text (Habakkuk 2:2-5), God indicted Babylon for serious crimes. In this week’s sermon text, God pronounced judgment on Babylon. These verses assure Habakkuk of the Lord’s justice and holiness

This Lord’s Day we will continue our journey through the message of Habakkuk. In the sermon text (Habakkuk 2:2-5), the Lord speaks to the prophet a second time. In the opening verses of the text, God speaks of the importance of his Word. His Word is the key to finding peace in times of suffering.

Habakkuk expressed his distress at God’s seeming lack of concern at Judah’s wickedness and the suffering it brought. As his writing unfolds, he teaches us that when our limited understanding cannot make sense of life’s pain and sorrow, we must begin with what we know about God. Nothing occurs by accident, but by God’s design.…

This Lord’s Day we will introduce a new sermon series. A study of the small work of Habakkuk will be our focus for the remaining weeks of the summer. We often struggle to see what God is doing in the moral chaos that grips the world. But Habakkuk teaches us to face life’s uncertainties with…
