Habakkuk 3.1-19
Week 1 of our Build series is a wake-up call from the prophet Haggai: “The time has not come… the LORD's house should be built.” And God's response is blunt—“Consider your ways.” Because when we keep postponing God to build our own comforts, we discover that more money, more stuff, and more success still can't satisfy the hunger underneath it all.This message confronts procrastination and misplaced priorities—and then casts a clear Vision Sunday picture of what we're building at Freedom Church DC: not property for property's sake, but a house with purpose—a place where heaven meets earth and people encounter God. From Jacob's “house of God” moment, to the tabernacle, to Solomon's temple, to Jesus cleansing the temple, we're reminded: the house isn't defined by construction—it's defined by purpose.And the vision is simple and strong: the church doesn't have a mission; the mission has a church. We are here to seek and save the lost, make disciples, and multiply gospel presence across the DC metro—through small groups, preaching points, and church-planting momentum. This is a call to stop living for “my house” alone and to put on a hard hat with God's people: it's time to build God's house.Scriptures referenced (as used in the sermon)Haggai 1:1–9 Romans 13:11Matthew 19:21 Exodus 25:8 Habakkuk 2:22 Chronicles 6 Psalm 127 (“unless the LORD builds…”) Key takeaways:Time moves—so what are we building with it? Self-first living always comes up empty. God's house is about purpose, not property. We're building people—and God builds His church.

In this message, Pastor Jake continues our series through the book of Revelation, unpacking Revelation 6:12–17 and Revelation 7 to answer a crucial question raised at the end of chapter 6:“For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” (Revelation 6:17)Revelation 7 serves as a powerful interlude between the sixth and seventh seals, revealing:The 144,000 servants of God, sealed on their foreheads (Revelation 7:1–8)A great multitude that no one could count, from “every nation, tribe, people and language” standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Revelation 7:9–10)In this sermon, we explore:How the seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls each describe the period between Christ's first and second comings from different angles (Revelation 6–8; Revelation 8–11; Revelation 15–16)Why the New Testament describes the entire church age as tribulation, not only a brief period at the end (John 16:33; Acts 14:22; Romans 8:18–25)How God's judgment often looks like letting our false refuges fail (Romans 1:24–28; Galatians 6:7–8; Jeremiah 2:13)What it means to be sealed with the seal of the living God (Revelation 7:2–3; Ephesians 1:13–14; 2 Corinthians 1:21–22) in contrast to bearing the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16–18)The symbolic meaning of the 144,000 and why this represents the fullness of God's people, not a limited ethnic subset (Revelation 7:4–8; Revelation 14:1–5)The connection between what John hears (the numbered 144,000) and what he sees (the uncountable multitude), and how both images point to the same redeemed people (Revelation 5:5–6; Revelation 7:4, 9)The contrast between those who hide from the face of God and the Lamb (Revelation 6:15–17) and those who stand before the throne in white robes (Revelation 7:9, 15)How our identity and allegiance—not our social status, politics, or tribal labels—determine whether we stand in the day of judgment (Philippians 3:7–11; Colossians 3:1–4; 1 Peter 2:9–10)We also meditate on the stunning promise given to those who belong to the Lamb:“Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst.The sun will not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat.For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;He will lead them to springs of living water.And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”(Revelation 7:16–17)If you've ever prayed, “How long, Lord?” (Revelation 6:10; Psalm 13:1–2; Habakkuk 1:2), this message will call you out of hiding and back into your God-given destiny—to follow the Lamb, bear His mark, and stand in His righteousness, not your own (2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:1–2; Hebrews 10:19–23).
In this episode, Samuel Goulet teaches on biblical faithfulness, emphasizing that our ability to remain steady, obedient, and reliable flows first from God's own faithfulness toward us. Drawing from Habakkuk 2 and the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25), he explains that faithfulness is not driven by emotion or ambition, but by patient trust, endurance, and responsible stewardship of what God has given—whether much or little. Samuel highlights fear as one of the greatest obstacles to faithfulness, showing how fear sabotages obedience and intimacy with God, while perfect love casts it out. The message ultimately calls listeners to resist fear, remain rooted in God's ways rather than cultural pressures, and live lives marked by consistent, weight-bearing faith that reflects the character of Christ.
What does biblical vision really mean—and why does it matter for your life, family, and church? In this Vision Sunday message, we explore how God's vision brings clarity, alignment, and healthy pace, not pressure or burnout.Vision is not about personal ambition or creativity. According to Scripture, vision is divine revelation—seeing what God is saying now and aligning our lives accordingly.In this message, you'll learn:Why vision creates boundaries, not just movementHow lack of vision leads people to drift off missionWhy vision must be caught before it's taughtHow clarity produces alignment in hearts, families, and communitiesWhy God's vision always has a grace-filled paceHow to steward spiritual tensions without living in extremesWhat God is calling our church into next—and how it affects you personally

This Sunday, we'll be absorbing the words of Habakkuk. This book contains one of the most honest conversations with God in all of Scripture. Habakkuk doesn't begin by speaking to the people for God; he begins by speaking to God for the people. He looks at violence, injustice, and moral confusion and brings his burden directly to the Lord. His opening words sound less like polished theology and more like a prayer that borders on a complaint: “How long, O Lord?” Habakkuk permits us to bring real questions into the presence of a real God and shows us that wrestling with God is not faithlessness, but faith that refuses shallow answers. The book unfolds in three movements. In chapter 1, Habakkuk voices his concern as he watches corruption thrive while God appears silent. In chapter 2, God responds, not with the explanation Habakkuk expects, but with a call to trust His sovereign purposes and timing. Right at the center of the book, we're given one of the most important statements in Scripture: “The righteous shall live by his faith.” That truth becomes the anchor when God's ways don't make sense, and His timing feels slow. Faith, we'll see, is not living by feelings or circumstances, but by trusting the character of God. Chapter 3 closes the book with a prayer set to music - a psalm of resolved trust. Habakkuk confesses that even if everything he depends on fails: “though the fig tree should not blossom...,” he will still rejoice in the Lord. His circumstances haven't changed, but his posture has. We'll see how God meets us in our questions, reshapes our hearts through waiting, and teaches us how to live not by sight, but by faith. I'm praying this text will steady and strengthen you wherever you find yourself in life.
Habakkuk: When Chaos Rules The Land - Part 1: The Burden of "Why?" What do you do when what you see with your eyes is so different than what you believe in your heart? This was Habakkuk's foundational challenge and it's something we all face at one point or another. In the moment when our faith and our eyes don't coincide, we have a choice to make. Habakkuk's choice points in the right direction.

“Faith isn't trusting God when life makes sense — it's trusting Him when it doesn't.” In this message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the tension of living by faith when God feels silent, justice feels delayed, and circumstances don't add up. Drawing from the book of Habakkuk, he shows that faith is not denial, hype, or blind optimism — it is deep trust in God's character when His ways are hidden. Habakkuk brings honest questions to God, and instead of being rebuked, he is invited into a bigger perspective. God does not remove the tension immediately, but He anchors His people in one unchanging truth: “The just shall live by faith.” This sermon challenges the idea that faith means quick answers or immediate relief. Instead, it calls believers to remain rooted in God when life is unresolved and outcomes are unclear.

And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.'” Genesis 50:20 (NKJV) “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” Job 33:14–15 (NKJV) “For God may speak in one way, or in another, Yet man does not perceive it.In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds,” Acts 2:17 (NKJV) “‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.'” Proverbs 29:18 (NKJV) “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.” Habakkuk 2:2–3 (NKJV) “Then the Lord answered me and said:‘Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.'” Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
"Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told." Habakkuk 1:5
Today we are continuing to look at Ephesians 6:16. Thispowerful verse tells us to take up the shield of faith. Something that hasjumped out at me as we were talking yesterday and preparing for today is thevery first two words of this verse: “Above all.” This chapter is aboutputting on the armor of God. It is about being able to stand against the wilesof the devil and to quench the fiery darts that He throws at us daily, minuteby minute, hour by hour. Howdo we quench those darts? How do we stand in faith? I want to remind youexactly what faith is. Faith is obedience in the Bible. Faith is seeing theinvisible. Faith is seeing God rather than the problems and difficulties thatare all around us. In 2 Corinthians 5:7 it says, “We walk by faith, not bysight.” This means we walk by faith not by our feelings. That is sopowerful. Rememberthe verse we mentioned yesterday in Habakkuk 2:4: “The just shall live byhis faith.” It is repeated three times in the New Testament. The HolySpirit repeats this phrase four times because it is so important. Why? Because “aboveall”, if your faith is not what it should be, you are in trouble when itcomes to facing the temptations of the world and the fiery darts of the wickedone! Whatis faith? Hebrews 11:1 tells us: “Faith is the substance of things hopedfor, the evidence of things not seen.” The best way I have found to explainfaith, understand faith, and actually practice walking by faith, is to realizethat faith is substantiating. Faith substantiates. Faith is the substance ofthings hoped for. It is the confidence that the things we cannot see are justas real—actually more real—than the things we can see. Infact, I believe we can say that faith is a spiritual sense. We have fivephysical senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing. Those senses allow usto move safely through this world, enjoy God's creation, to drive a vehicle an towalk without running into things. And live the physical life God has given us. Faithis the spiritual sense God has given to every human being. But it must beexercised. It must be used. Just as my hand has the ability to touch and makereal whatever it touches, faith makes real what I cannot feel. When I touch abook I say, “That is a book.” When I look at this phone recording this message,my eyes send the message to my brain: “That is real.” Faith makes real what Icannot see physically. Justas the senses substantiate the physical world, faith substantiates thespiritual world. That is why 2 Corinthians 4:18 says, “While we look not atthe things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the thingswhich are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”That is also why Hebrews chapter 11 explains that faith is “the substance ofthings hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Later the Hebrews11:27, it says of Moses: “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrathof the king: for he endured, as seeing Him who is invisible.” He saw God. Thatis why Hebrews 12 begins, “Looking unto Jesus.” The book of Hebrews is the bookof faith. Because of unbelief, that generation of Israelites that came out of Egyptcould not enter the promised land. But by faith Moses continued to lead thepeople, and finally by faith they entered with Joshua. Weare to live by faith, not by sight. My friend, that is the shield of faith—"aboveall”. Taking up the shield of faith above all. If you do not, Satan willovercome you. You will not be able to stand. You need the faith that comes fromGod and God alone, through His Word. Today, read the Word. Memorize the Word.Hide the Word in your heart. Remember, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearingby the Word of God” (Romans 10:17). No doubt that is why Paul says, “Aboveall”, the other pieces of armor, without this “shield of faith” we have noprotection against the “wiles” and “fiery darts” of the wicked one!
Dr. Erwin Lutzer is pastor emeritus of The Moody Church where he served as the senior pastor for 36 years. He's the speaker on the Running to Win radio broadcast. Dr. Lutzer is also an award-winning author. Some of his titles include, We Will Not Be Silenced, The Eclipse of God, When a Nation Forgets God, One Minute After You Die and numerous other titles. He returned to Crosstalk to discuss his new book, Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers? Perhaps you've been in life situations in which you've prayed again and again over days, weeks, months or even years. You've claimed all the right Bible verses, yet it seems like your prayers are just hitting the ceiling or that God's simply not there, indifferent or does not care. If you've ever been in that situation, this Crosstalk is for you. Listen in as Dr. Lutzer explains how his latest book will point you back to Scripture so you can see how the heart of the reader can be turned from despair and despondency to hope and to trust. Points of discussion include: Does prayer really make a difference? What does Dr. Lutzer mean when he says that sometimes we claim promises that God did not make? Are we sometimes deceitful by offering prayers to avoid having to make changes in our lives concerning things that got us into our mess in the first place? What can we learn from Habakkuk, Abraham and Lot regarding prayer? Is an unanswered prayer an unheard prayer? How should we deal with the disappointment of unanswered prayer? Why does God give us so many needs and challenges?

Have you ever looked around at the world and wondered what God is doing? You see hurt, loneliness, hate, and pain everywhere, and you start asking, “Why doesn't God do something about this?” You're not alone. The prophet Habakkuk asked those same questions when he saw the injustice around him. Today, Pastor Ken points out a powerful truth: when your heart and attitude are right, you can bring your honest questions to God—and doing that can be an act of worship.

THE IMMIGRATION LIE — QUICK BREAKDOWNFor over 500 years, European nations invaded, conquered, and colonized over 85% of the planet.They stole land, enslaved millions, wiped out Indigenous populations, and redrew borders by force.Now — the descendants of those invasions call everyone else “illegal.”That's the lie.America, Canada, Brazil, Australia, the Caribbean, and much of Africa exist on stolen land.Over 90 million Indigenous people died, and 15–20 million Africans were enslaved to build the modern Western world.The Bible already warned us:

Send us a textMoses is (finally) wrapping up his speech to the people. As he's preparing to transfer leadership to Joshua, he's giving his final pleas to the people to hold fast to God. He paints a powerful image of God to remind the people that when they fail - and they will - that God will bring them back and defeat their enemies.

We live in a world where people seem to always want to impress others by who they know. It seems as if our society has evolved to where who you know is more important than what you know. Ironically, the world has come around unintentionally to a major truth. It is more important who you know than what you know when it comes to Jesus. Knowing Him far exceeds the value of any knowledge you may have or may acquire. Join us in this podcast of Woman at the Well Ministries as Kim introduces us to the Master of the Wind.

Pastor Christy Cass In this message, There Is More — For You, invites us into a moment of permission, not pressure. A reminder that God's dream for your life is bigger than what you've settled for and that the enemy's greatest lie is convincing you that this is all there is. TEXT: Ephesians 3:20, Habakkuk 1:2–5, Habakkuk 2:1–3, Habakkuk 3:2, 18–19, 1 Corinthians 2:9, Ephesians 2:10 NOTES: There is more peace. There is more purpose. There is more freedom. There is more faith than fear. Wrestling with God is not walking away — it's staying engaged God is working even when you can't see it You can't receive new vision while holding on to old perspective If God says it, He will back it up When you realize there is more for you, you begin to want more for others. That's why we serve. That's why we give. That's why we show up.

The final chapter of Habakkuk is a beautiful psalm to help believers keep trusting in the Lord when times stay tough.
The sermon centers on the biblical mandate for Christians to actively proclaim God's goodness and authority in every sphere of life, rooted in the original dominion given to Adam and Eve and renewed through Christ. Drawing from Genesis, Romans, and the prophetic vision of Habakkuk and Isaiah, it emphasizes that God's rule is not confined to heaven but is being realized on earth through faithful, Spirit-empowered action. The preacher argues that true rest and transformation come not from passivity or withdrawal, but from embracing God's authority, resisting the temptation to do what is right in one's own eyes, and living as light in family, community, and culture. Using the story of Ramona Quimby as a metaphor, the message underscores that freedom and flourishing are found not in rebellion against God's good order, but in submitting to it and actively advancing His kingdom through love, truth, and sacrificial service. The call is clear: believers are to steward their gifts, words, emotions, and influence to make a lasting difference, knowing that Christ's promise of presence empowers them to shine His light wherever they are.

Send us a textWe all have an inner dialogue. But how often do we lead it?In this episode of Think Again & Be, we explore the biblical practice of speaking to the soul—training the inner voice to align with truth, faith, and joy rather than fear, anxiety, or circumstance.Building on the previous episode Thanksgiving by Faith, this conversation looks at how faith is voice-activated, how joy is cultivated from the inside out, and why Scripture repeatedly shows God's people talking to themselves before they speak to the world.From David encouraging himself in the Lord, to Jeremiah finding hope in the darkest moment, to Habakkuk choosing joy before the harvest, we see that transformation often begins with rightful self-talk.This episode is an invitation to reclaim your inner voice— to speak faith, remember truth, and create an atmosphere of joy that sustains life.Scriptures ReferencedPsalm 42:5; 43:5Lamentations 3:241 Samuel 30:6Habakkuk 3:16–19Psalm 91:2Joel 3:10Philemon 1:6–7Key ThemesFaith is voice-activatedSpeaking to the soulJoy as an atmosphere, not a moodAnxiety is not your identityTraining the inner voiceThanksgiving, praise, and joy as a cycleGet Your Hopes Up!@damiteninwww.bydami.comwww.tribalmarks.com

Is your heart asking, “How long, O Lord”? Who or what are you waiting for? A job? A friend to be a friend? Someone to love you or for you to love back? Are you waiting for a break—or a baby? A child to say they're sorry, reconciliation, or an important prayer to be answered? Maybe you're waiting for the bullying or betrayal to stop—or lying, hating, injustice, corruption, or hurt. Or perhaps you are in a crisis of faith that needs to be resolved.In this message from Habakkuk, Jill Briscoe offers encouragement for the tough times in life.

Ready to trade frantic resolutions for a quieter, stronger kind of growth? We kick off 2026 by rethinking goals through a biblical lens—less hustle, more presence. Together we explore how to set three simple, Spirit-led aims, write the vision with courage, and release the timeline to God's appointed season. Along the way, we ground ambition in gratitude, invite the Holy Spirit's counsel, and practice steady trust in the middle of real-life storms.We unpack the trap of comparison and the myth that bigger goals mean greater worth. Instead, we talk about the holy weight of “small” callings: raising children with intention, reshaping family patterns, and serving faithfully at home. Scripture guides the journey—Habakkuk's vision, Jeremiah's promise of purpose, Matthew's call to rest in today, and the Gospel scene where Jesus stills the wind and waves. If your year begins with stress, fear, or uncertainty, this conversation offers a path to peace by drawing close to the One who gets us to the other side.Practical steps round out the episode: start in the Gospels to know Jesus' voice, cut back on doomscrolling, carry a life-verse to renew your mind, and plug into a church and a small group for honest accountability. We also take time to pray for miracles and breakthroughs in health, finances, marriages, and families—believing nothing is too hard for the Lord and that we will see His goodness in the land of the living.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find Road to Redemption. Your story matters—what three goals will you commit to with God this year?For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com
Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. How good is good enough to go to Heaven? Well, someone once answered this question to me with a batch of chocolate chip cookies. You can put the highest quality of ingredients in the batter; but if you use just one rotten egg, it ruins the whole batch. Just like a bad egg in a cookie batch, even one sin ruins our chances of getting into heaven with a perfect and holy God. Habakkuk says that God cannot tolerate our sin. But despite this, there is good news! God loves us, and wants to save us from our sin. So while we are not good enough to go to heaven on our own works, Jesus lived a perfect life and offered Himself as a sacrifice in our place. What we have to do is accept God's gift of grace! So, stop trying to work your way into Heaven. Instead, place your faith in the work that Jesus did for you on the cross. If you need to know more, visit sharelife.today.
There seems to be so much corruption in the world today—seen both in society and even within the church. How is the believer to respond? Join Kelly as he turns to the book of Habakkuk to find God's answer to this question.www.instagram.com/thehishillpodcast/www.hishill.orgkelly@hishill.org
