Podcasts about Habakkuk

On Vision Sunday 2026, Apostle Jim Raley declared the Church is not dying, it is alive! Rooted in Habakkuk 2 and Proverbs 29, this message reminded us that God given vision must be written plainly, seen by faith, and carried together by the people of God. At Calvary, we do not move by what we see in the natural but by what God has spoken! A living church is marked by prayer, faith, generosity, unity, and a forward focused vision. Vision brings discipline, direction, and life, and every person is essential to seeing it fulfilled. This message unveiled our 2026 focus on soul winning, discipleship, assimilation, revival culture, stewardship, and reaching every generation. We are not perishing, we are thriving. We're not surrendering territory. We're taking it! Our best days are ahead, and the Church is more alive than ever before. Visit https://calvaryfl.com to get connected to the vision!

Jesus didn't just die — He was forsaken. For 3 hours, darkness covered the land, and the Son of God cried out "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" — and the Father didn't answer.In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:46-50 and uncovers what actually happened in those 3 hours on the cross, why Jesus stopped calling God "Father," and what it means that He declared "It is finished."If you've ever felt like God went silent on you, or if you're still secretly trying to earn what Jesus already paid for — this one's for you.Topics covered: The 3 hours of darkness and what they represent | Why Jesus called God "God" instead of "Father" | What "It is finished" actually means for your everyday life | Why your salvation can't be 99% — it has to be 100% | How bad theology leads us to look for salvation in the wrong places

What should Christians do when society celebrates what God calls sin—and then blames believers for the fallout? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to Habakkuk 1:6–7, where God raises up the Babylonians as judgment—revealing a sobering pattern repeated throughout history: when a people who once honored God abandon Him, darkness advances quickly. But Dr. Youssef's message isn't despair—it's direction. Rather than hiding away or writing off humanity, believers are called to live with Kingdom purpose in the “City of Man”: Love without fear and pray for persecutors (Matthew 5:44–45), Engage with conviction instead of retreating into silence, Reason with the lost the way God reasons with sinners—inviting them to grace (Isaiah 1:18), Shine as light and live as salt that creates thirst for Christ. This devotional will challenge you to reject passivity, resist intimidation, and speak Gospel Truth with compassion—trusting God to resurrect dead hearts into living testimonies of His grace.

Pastor Femi Paul led the church in fervent prayers with a stirring exhortation titled Lord, Do It Again! He explained that this is a prayer for divine intervention - a heartfelt request for God to repeat the miracles, breakthroughs, and mighty works He has done before. From Psalm 77, we were reminded of the power of remembrance. When we recall God's past deeds, faith is reignited. Reflection becomes fuel for expectation. If He did it before, He is still able to do it again. Drawing from Psalm 126 and Habakkuk 3:2, the church declared a restoration of former glory and a repetition of divine wonders in our time. Even in Mark 8, where Jesus touched the blind man a second time until clarity came, we saw that partial results are not final results. God is able to touch again until vision is clear and restoration is complete. For those who feel they missed an opportunity or “blew” their first chance, the message was clear: mercy allows another moment. Divine intervention can happen again. And when He does it again, everything becomes clear. Confession: Lord, do it again in my life. My testimony will be repeated and greater.

God has given us one book that can change the entire direction of our lives: the Bible. In this episode of Journeying Through Scriptures, host Scott Pauley takes a big-picture look at the short but powerful Old Testament book of Habakkuk, tracing its message in the context of Judah's looming captivity by Babylon and exploring how faith governs every area of life. Scott explains the historical setting—Israel's enemies and the coming Babylonian judgment—and introduces Habakkuk (whose name means "Embracer") as a godly prophet wrestling with difficult questions. The episode centers on the book's key verse, Habakkuk 2:4 ("the just shall live by his faith"), and highlights how that truth reverberates through the New Testament (Romans, Galatians, Hebrews) and fueled the Reformation. Listeners will hear the book's spiritual progression: a sob of lament (chapter 1), a vision and call to patient waiting (chapter 2), and a climactic prayer-song of trust (chapter 3). Scott draws practical lessons: bring burdens to God in prayer, wait on the Lord, rehearse God's character, and choose to rejoice even when circumstances remain unchanged. He points out how Christ's presence and justification by faith are seen throughout Habakkuk. The episode offers encouragement for anyone facing unanswered questions or national and personal crises—faith is the bridge from sorrow to praise. Scott also reminds listeners that the Word of God is meant to be walked through daily and points to ETJ's online resources at etj.bible, where you can find book-by-book study aids to enrich personal Bible reading. Expect thoughtful exposition, pastoral application, and a pastoral call to live by faith: talk to God, wait on His timing, and choose rejoicing.

Roger Morris continues Part 4 of the "Vision" series on Extraordinary Living with Bill & Roger, teaching you that hope is a positive imagination—an inner blueprint of what you want in life—and that what you believe is possible shapes what you will even desire. Using scriptures including 1 Chronicles 29:18, 2 Corinthians 10:5, Isaiah 26:3, Hebrews 11:1, Matthew 6:33, James 1:14, James 3:5–6, and Habakkuk 2:1–3, Roger contrasts negative imaginations (fearful thoughts and wrong desires) with a sanctified imagination that stays on the Lord and produces peace.   He emphasizes that vision is connected to what you see and what you say: write the vision, keep your imagination and words aligned with God, and wait for it because it will surely come at the appointed time. Roger shares personal examples—receiving healing after throat soreness from being intubated, learning not to disqualify himself from blessing, and practical stories about wanting a home, a skid steer, and even calling farmland "non-irrigated" instead of "dry land"—to show how desire, imagination, and confession work together.   He also points to how God can bless you with "things" as a platform to advance the kingdom, including an example of Roger Beach preaching the gospel on a horse-training TV show. This episode closes with an invitation for you to make Jesus Christ Lord of your life.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Is It Possible? Desire Starts With Belief 00:36 Hope as a Sanctified Imagination (1 Chronicles & 2 Corinthians) 03:05 Perfect Peace: Keeping Your Mind on God (Isaiah 26) 06:21 Faith for What You Can't See + A Healing Testimony 08:53 Breaking the 'I Could Never Have That' Mindset (Houses & Provision) 10:11 Skid Steer Story: God Blesses You to Do More 12:43 Dreams = Desire + Imagination (James 1) 14:46 Enticed by Vision: From Trucks to Family Dreams 21:49 See It and Say It: The Tongue, 'Non-Irrigated' Faith Talk 25:13 Write the Vision (Habakkuk 2) + Salvation Invitation & Closing     Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

He read the entire New Testament in a weekend. Fasted for 40 days. Got a Bible college degree. Got ordained. Pastored a church.And after all of that — 10 years of trying — he still couldn't hear God's voice.Mark Virkler wasn't casual about his faith. He was desperate for it to work. But every method he tried led to the same result: silence. No one could explain what God's voice actually sounded like. One teacher called it "subterranean rumblings of the spiritual mind." Another said "you just know that you know." None of it helped.Then one morning, God woke him up with a voice he couldn't ignore and pointed him to Habakkuk 2:1-2 — where he found 4 simple steps that changed everything:Stillness — quiet yourself and get beyond your own thoughtsVision — fix the eyes of your heart on JesusFlow — tune to spontaneous, flowing thoughtsJournaling — write down what you receiveWhat surprised Mark most? He realized he'd been hearing God his whole life — he just didn't know what to listen for. Those "brilliant thoughts" that seemed to come out of nowhere? That creative solution? That nudge to call someone? That was God. He'd just been attributing it to his own mind.In this conversation, Mark shares the full story — the 10 years of frustration, the wrong definitions that kept him stuck, the moment it broke open, and how an 8-year-old granddaughter now uses these same steps every single day.If you've ever thought "Why can't I hear God?" — this might be the reason.

I'm delighted to have you joining us around Greatheart's Table. Who are “us?” Many of us are pastors, doing what we believe, or once believed, God has called us to do. Many of us are not, but find that the realities that pastors face, realities addressed here, are true across many life situations. Many callings, including that of the pastor, involve drudgery, and sometimes difficult times of conflict. Instead of becoming Habakkuk's contented deer on high places, we want to run, to flee, to find any other thing to do but this. It's into this world, once again, I am inviting fellow pastor Adam Tisdale, to speak a word of joy. I hope you find encouragement here to remember why you do what you do.

Why does the Christian life often feel like a war within? This message from Romans 7:7–25 exposes the reality of the believer's internal battle with sin—a battle God's Law reveals but cannot resolve. Drawing on the rich biblical concept of emunah—steadfast, enduring faithfulness (of God)—this sermon shows why this is a battle you cannot win through effort, a battle you cannot ultimately lose because of Christ, and a battle you must never forget while you live in the flesh. With connections to Moses' steady hands (because of God), Habakkuk's call to live by faith, and Paul's declaration of union with Christ, this message anchors weary believers in the unshakable hope of Jesus' finished work.What you'll learn:· Why God's good and holy Law actually intensifies our awareness of sin· What Paul means when he describes doing the very things he hates· How the Hebrew word “emunah” reframes faith as steady endurance given by God· Why the Christian life is simultaneously marked by struggle and secured victory· Where true deliverance is found when your strength and resolve inevitably failSupport our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

This sermon explores the honest questions of Habakkuk, meeting our doubts about injustice and unanswered prayers. It shows how God welcomes real conversations and invites us to trust Him even when His ways are confusing. In the end, we're called to a resilient faith that can still say, “Yet I will rejoice.”

Habakkuk: When Chaos Rules the LandPart 3: Remember and RejoiceWhen God doesn’t seem to address our problems or answer our prayers, it can be difficult to know how to continue on in faith. But the story of Habakkuk offers a picture of hope in the midst of a hopeless situation. If you continue to trust God through times like that, he will eventually show you his glory.

What do you do when your prayers feel unanswered and God seems silent?In this powerful message, When Faith Argues, we walk through the honest conversation between the prophet Book of Habakkuk and God. Habakkuk doesn't begin with praise—he begins with questions. He sees violence, injustice, and corruption and asks, “God, why are You allowing this?”And God's answer? It wasn't what he expected.This sermon explores what it means to trust God without fully understanding Him. Faith is not always quiet. Faith wrestles. Faith waits. Faith stays. Through passages like Habakkuk 2:4 and 3:17–19, we discover that real faith doesn't always get explanations—but it does get assurance.If you've ever prayed and felt confused, obeyed and still felt pain, or believed while battling doubt, this message is for you.You don't have to silence your questions—just anchor them in trust.For those times when you feel like you can't even...grab Midweek Refill.Join us LIVE Sundays at 9 & 11 AM

In this week's sermon from Habakkuk in our Story of Redemption series, we looked at what it means to trust God enough to be honest about our confusion and doubt. Following Habakkuk's journey from the desperate cry, "How long?" to the declaration, "Yet I will rejoice," we were reminded that faith is not the absence of doubt but the courage to bring our questions into our covenant relationship with God. We saw that God's kindness is not always expressed through quick relief, but through His faithful presence. Because of this, we were encouraged that we do not have to clean up our questions or rush our grief in order to draw near to Him. We can bring our disappointment, our doubt, and even our frustration into His presence, trusting that He is at work in ways we cannot yet see.

In a world marked by injustice, suffering, and conflict, Habakkuk 3 gives us an example of how we can live by faith while we wait for God's promises to be fulfilled. By walking through the prophet's prayer, we unpack four practical acts of faith that can serve as a foundation for faithful living and joyful worship during troubled times.

Habakkuk and Zephaniah: Our Wrestling & God's Response

John Ervine - Sun 22nd February 26John Ervine - Sun 22nd February 26false00:44:3711Habakkuk Part 1 - Habakkuk 1:1-4full

We begin a new series in the book of Habakkuk called “How Long, O Lord?” Habakkuk faced some of the darkest days in Israel's history. In such wearisome times, he wrestled with questions you and I have likely asked as well. Why does God allow evil to endure? How long will God be distant or silent? Does God care or know my pain? Habakkuk is a story of a great exchange. Worry is transformed into worship. Fear turns to faith. Terror becomes trust. Anguish melts into adoration. Join us as Pastor Michael guides us in exploring what led Habakkuk to glorify God, even with hope, despite his circumstances remaining unchanged. Our prayer is that Habakkuk's experience can bring hope and purpose to the suffering you may be going through today.

That inspired me to start a CPR and First Aid company.  With my last name being Long, coming up with the business name "Long Lasting Life" was a seamless process.  Our motto is "Teaching Life Long Skills to Help Save Lives".       When asked what she loves most about what she does, Jacquin says it's the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of others.  Whether working full-time at the hospital, providing cryotherapy through her business to relieve knee or back pain, or teaching lifesaving classes, she appreciates being able to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. She adds that she draws inspiration from God and the success she has experienced.  "I approach my work with purpose, integrity, and a commitment to excellence, allowing faith to guide my vision and leadership in accomplishing the mission.  This foundation shapes every decision I make, strengthens my resilience in the face of challenges, and fuels a genuine passion for serving others with intention and care. Guided by faith and a mindset of continual growth, I strive each day to be a better person than I was the day before, leading with humility, compassion, and clarity so that my work reflects values greater than success alone."      As a small business owner and one who focuses on providing a specific service, Jacquin has encountered a few challenges here and there.  One in particular is Time Management.  "Balancing a full-time career as an orthopedic professional while running a business, and ensuring every client receives exceptional care, has been challenging.  Providing the best service to every client remains my top priority.  Through organization, disciplined time management, and intentional planning, each client is given the dedicated attention they deserve.  As I have remained deeply rooted in the purpose behind my work, it has allowed for continued focus and clarity.  Planned self-care days have supported a healthy work–life balance, prevented burnout, and helped me to sustain the highest standard of care," Jacquin says.  "I'm learning to delegate when I can and give myself grace.  My favorite bible verse is Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God".  I am learning daily to be still and surrender control in things that I can't control so that I can fully acknowledge God's power."       The advice Jacquin offers to other aspiring entrepreneurs aligns with her faith in God and trusting His direction.  "Habakkuk 2:2 says, "Write the vision, and make it plain, that he may run that readeth it".  Write the vision, trust God, stay humble, treat people right, be teachable, and run your own race.  A good leader was once a good follower, stay focused and don't panic.  Finally, network and find a mentor."   To learn more about Long Lasting Life LLC, please visit their website at  www.longlastinglyfe.com To learn more about Huami Magazine, please visit our website at www.huamimagazine.com

Today's readings: Psalms 37:1-42; Habakkuk 3:1-18; Philippians 3:12–21; John 17:1–8

Join Pastor Jeff as he talks about Faith Question 15 and how sin separates us from a holy God. We'll learn how God's law shows us His design for living and points us back to a close relationship with Him. Habakkuk 1:13a "Your eyes are too pure to look on evil, and you cannot tolerate wrongdoing."

Today Pastor Jeff is preaching about waiting on God, from the book of Habakkuk. It's part of the 'Blessed Life' series. Most of us have come to a point in our life ?' frustrated by waiting on answers from God. Or we're waiting but don't know what the Lord's will is. In this message Pastor Jeff is looking at Habakkuk and his back and forth dialogue with God.Support the show: https://www.oneandall.church/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's something truly amazing about what Jesus has done for us. He didn't have to come to this earth or experience the suffering we face. He didn't have to take our place on the cross, but He chose to. Jesus willingly sacrificed Himself for all who believe in Him and confess Him as the Son of God. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you can become part of God's family, too. You don't have to face this world alone, because the Savior of the universe desires a personal relationship with you.

The Bible is a book of hope, and Habakkuk sings in the face of the fury.Thursday • 2/19/2026 •Thursday of Last Epiphany, Year Two This morning's Scriptures are: Psalm 37; Habakkuk 3:1–18; Philippians 3:12–21; John 17:1–8 This morning's Canticles are: following the OT reading, Canticle 8 (“The Song of Moses,” Exodus 15, BCP, p. 85); following the Epistle reading, Canticle 19 (“The Song of the Redeemed,” Revelation 15:3–4, BCP, p. 94)

In a world full of noise, how do you hear the still, small voice of God? Drawing from the prophet Habakkuk's commitment to "stand the watch," this message explores the necessity of separation, the power of writing your vision down, and the discipline required to run the race with purpose.

If you knew something terrible was about to happen, a natural disaster or a public accident, wouldn't you do everything in your power to warn people and help save them? Many have heard of the rapture, but few truly understand what comes afterward. That's why in today's message, Pastor Ken urges you to share the gospel with the world, to encourage them to be saved, and let people know that time is short. A day is coming when it will be too late to warn others, and no one wants to be left behind.

We continue our "Vision" series with Roger Morris teaching from Habakkuk 2:1–4 that you should ask God for your kingdom assignment, expect Him to answer, and then write the vision and make it plain. He explains that Habakkuk became frustrated and anxious about his circumstances, but his perspective changed through faith as he wrote the vision and looked ahead by faith even before anything changed. Roger emphasizes that you have been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God's Son, so your life now includes a kingdom assignment on Earth, and you should set an "appointed time" (an appointment) with God to seek that vision.   He teaches that delays often come from you, not God, and that fear and anxiety are from the enemy, while faith is how you move forward. Roger defines imagination as the ability to see what is not physically present and connects hope to a positive imagination—a blueprint for what you want in life—illustrating with personal stories about dreaming for a home, and God providing needs and desires like appliances and a large TV through reward points.   The message includes encouragement that God is not mad or disappointed in you, and it closes with an invitation to make Jesus Lord, a salvation prayer, and directions to connect with Bill & Roger at billandroger.com for events, the store, YouTube messages, and partnership support.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Kingdom Assignment: You've Been Translated—Now Ask for Your Vision 00:23 Welcome + Why You Need Your Bible (and a Funny 'Job' Story) 03:10 Habakkuk's Frustration to Faith: The Setup for 'Write the Vision' 04:09 Habakkuk 2:1–3 — God Answers When You Ask 05:58 'Write the Vision': Seeing It in Your Imagination & Kingdom Purpose 08:15 The 'Appointed Time' (Moed): Make an Appointment with God 10:52 When Vision 'Tarries': Faith, Tradition, and What 'Wait on the Lord' Means 15:22 Your Self-Talk Shapes Your Life: God Isn't Mad at You 17:32 Fear vs. Faith: Anxiety, Thoughts, and Guarding Your Mind 18:47 Hope as Positive Imagination: Blueprints, Dreams, and the House Testimony 25:20 Invitation: Make Jesus Lord (Prayer of Salvation) 26:42 Connect with the Ministry: Website, Events, Store, Subscribe & Partner 28:47 Final Encouragement: Live an Extraordinary Life   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

As Christians, we are called to be in the world, but not of it. Yet many believers still find themselves in situations they have no business being in, through the media we consume or the social environments we place ourselves in. When we spend too much time in worldly spaces or constantly consume secular content, we become more susceptible to temptation and, over time, desensitized to sin. That's why in today's message, Pastor Ron reminds you to stay grounded in the Lord, even while living in the world.

In this message, Pastor Jentezen Franklin continues the series on The Power of Short Prayers, and shares how concise yet sincere prayers can open doors to remarkable change in your life. Using Matthew 6, Habakkuk 3, biblical examples like the thief on the cross, and stories of urgency in prayer, he emphasizes that God responds to passionate, purposeful cries with healing, family restoration, salvation, and breakthrough in every area.Let us pray with you:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jentezenfranklin.org/prayer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See our outreach programs:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jentezenfranklin.org/outreach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stay connected with Free Chapel:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/freechapel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/freechapel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠App: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://freechapel.org/app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stay connected with Jentezen Franklin:YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@jentezenfranklinmedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/jentezen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter/X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/jentezen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/JentezenFranklin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jentezen-franklin-at-free-chapel/id506354054⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/7o0QPCGh5T79jMptpJPTlo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate to help us share the gospel around the world through Kingdom Connection broadcasts and other humanitarian outreaches: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jentezenfranklin.org/donations/new?cid=s

Water into Wine - Jesus' First Miracle (Sermon Series on John) - Sunday, 15th February 2026[Episode 9 - John Chapter 2 KJV]Proverbs 20:1 “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”Isaiah 5:11: “Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!”Isaiah 28:7 “But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way.”Proverbs 31:4-5: “It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.”Isaiah 5:22: “Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink.”Leviticus 10:9 (a command to priests): “Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die.”Habakkuk 2:15: “Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also.”If we stood at a table with biblical wine, modern wine, and modern spirits, we'd see a progression of strength. Biblical wine—often diluted—was gentle, maybe 5 to 10 percent( strong drink, diluted 3%). Today's wine, undiluted, stands around 12 to 15 percent, a bit bolder. And then, modern spirits—like vodka at 40 percent—tower over them both. In essence, what began as a mild companion to daily life has evolved into something that demands respect, moderation, and a designated driver1. They have no wine! John 2:1-3 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.2. What have I to do with you mother?John 2:4  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.3. My hour is not yet come.John 2:4  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.4. Do what ever He says.John 2:5  His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.5. The miracleJohn 2:6-8 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.6. His disciples believed on Him.John 2:11  This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Habakkuk and Zephaniah: Our Wrestling & God's Response

A brief overview of the section of Habakkuk that will be discussed during the zoom bible study session happening on Tuesday nights. 

The prophet Habakkuk desperately sought the Lord, hoping that the injustice in the land would be remedied. The prophet's prayer received a startling response: the country was going to be invaded. In this message, Pastor Lutzer encourages us to trust God amid disaster. Let's praise God because He has everything under control.
