Podcasts about Habakkuk

There Is Still a Vision. Habakkuk is a prophet with writer's block – he does not have a word from the Lord or from the distant battlefield, and that's making him antsy. He climbs the ramparts of Jerusalem's wall to scan the horizon, trusting that a runner will come. And instead, he gets a word from the Lord, kinda: “Wait, and listen, and trust that I've got something in mind, and it'll be good.” Tomás Halík has said that faith is trust + patience. How much patience have we got for God?To tell us your thoughts on this sermon, click through to the web posting and leave us a comment. Or, find us on social media: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

This Sunday, we discovered that when in doubt, we need to trade venting for lamenting. Venting only releases steam, but lament takes our pain vertical to God. Think of it as the difference between yelling at a wall and speaking to a Father—one just echoes back, the other listens and responds.What stands out in Habakkuk's story is that lament doesn't deny reality—it wrestles with it in God's presence. Habakkuk names violence, injustice, and unanswered prayer, but he refuses to walk away. He stations himself on the wall, waiting for God's word (Habakkuk 2:1). That's where faith grows: in the silence that feels like nothing is happening, God is shaping us into people who live not by sight but by faith.This week, don't stop at venting—bring your raw honesty to the One who can carry it.

“God is the answer to your questions. God is the answer to your problems.” That's the good news Dr. J. Vernon McGee shares in our final study Habakkuk. Travel along as the prophet ultimately decides that regardless of the circumstances in which he finds himself, he will rejoice in God.

This Week Pastor Michael kicked off our new series "Marked" examining the 9 Marks of Biblical Maturity.  We also get a taste of a few worship songs that have shaped our community through various seasons as we prepare to celebrate 20 years as a church on September 28th. Habakkuk 3:2, Romans 12:1-2

Pastor Marshall Ochs | September 14, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Habakkuk 1-3. The prophet begins his book asking God the same questions we wrestle with today: How long, O Lord? Why does evil thrive while the righteous suffer? Through Habakkuk's dialogue with God, we uncover a timeless message: God sees, God hears, and His answer is not a timeline but a promise—“The just shall live by faith.” No matter how dark the world seems, our response is trust, worship, and unshakable hope.

When Life Seems Unfair (Habakkuk 1:1-11)

Anne shares from Habakkuk 1-3.

Evening lessons: Psalms 39, 41; Habakkuk 3; Matthew 12:22-50. I said, “I will take heed to my ways, that I may not offend with my tongue.

Evening lessons: Psalms 37:18-41; Habakkuk 2; Matthew 12:1-21. The Lord knows the days of the godly, and their inheritance shall endure forever.

"Why does Habakkuk begin with a complaint rather than a call to repentance or judgment like other prophets? In Habakkuk 2:4, what does it mean that “the righteous shall live by faith,” and how would a sixth-century Israelite have understood that phrase? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Seth Master talk about the lament that is seen in this book. Habakkuk reminds us that faith does not remove suffering, but it transforms our response to it.

Habakkuk's conversation with God moves from discouragement to songs of praise. How does the prophet shift from doom and gloom to a place of worship? Join Habakkuk as he recalls Israel's history and ultimately finds deep and abiding faith as he puts his trust in God.

Last night we went on The Soul Trap to do a live podcast on the political assassination of commentator and author Charlie Kirk, and as you might expect, it was a wild ride, click here to see it. One of the things I said during that podcast was that Charlie Kirk, like polar opposite George Floyd before him, was going to be turned into an American martyr. That statement turned out to have a prophetic tinge to it as today we see efforts underway to create nationwide murals for him as well as for Ukrainian subway stabbing victim Iryna Zarutska. Every movement needs an icon, and now we have two of them.“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Charlie Kirk was selected as the sacrifice deemed necessary to ignite the next phase of civil war in our nation. Back in 2020, when George Floyd was the sacrifice, the 6 months of unsheeted Hell that arose from that did $2 billion dollars in damage to the economy, killed dozens of people, and strained the tenuous fabric of our society to the breaking point. They're hoping that Charlie Kirk as an American martyr will push things over the edge. Now, you might be wondering just who the ‘they' are that we say are behind all this, and we are more than happy to reveal their identity to you. The rabbit hole is lovely, dark and deep, and we have promises to keep on this special edition of the Prophecy News Podcast.

What other people think when God allows difficult things to happen to His people, Habakkuk actually said. And God didn't strike Him down. In fact, He bent down and listened! Take an in-depth look at the consequences of pride and learn what it means to trust God—even when it doesn't make sense.

“Evening wolves.” — Habakkuk 1:8 While preparing the present volume, this particular expression recurred to me so frequently, that in order to be rid of its constant importunity I determined to give a page to it. The evening wolf, infuriated by a day of hunger, was fiercer and more ravenous than he would have been […]

This episode is our closing argument for the Septuagint (LXX) and its proper place as the Word of God — the Scripture of the Early Church, the Apostles, and Christ Himself. Once you have finished this episode, you will need to decide for yourself if you believe the argument as presented or if you intend to double down on the ‘Hebrew' the rabbis smuggled into the churches. The question is one of fidelity to God and to His Word, and it is a question that will split the churches, that will sift the wheat from the chaff. “But I and my household will serve the Lord, because He is holy.” Show Notes Romans 2:24 → Isaiah 52:5 Romans 3:4 → Psalm 51:4 (LXX Psalm 50:6) Romans 9:25b → Hosea 2:23 Romans 9:27 → Isaiah 10:22 Romans 9:27-28 → Isaiah 10:22-23 Romans 9:29 → Isaiah 1:9 Romans 9:33; 10:11 → Isaiah 28:16 Romans 10:18 → Psalm 19:4 (LXX Ps 18:5. .

Psalm 89:2-38 Habakkuk 2:5-20 Prayer Requests to psp@sqpn.com

Psalm 68 Habakkuk 1:1-2:4a Prayer Requests to psp@sqpn.com

According to the Smith's Bible Dictionary, Habakkuk means (embrace). This book would be the eighth, in order, of the Minor Prophets. Of the facts of the prophet's life, we have no certain information.One important aspect of the ancient Old Testament order of the Hebrew Bible is that the 12 prophetic works of Hosea through Malachi, sometimes referred to as the Minor Prophets, were designed as a single book called The Twelve. Habakkuk is the eighth book of The Twelve.Habakkuk lived in the final decades of Judah, Israel's southern kingdom. It was a time of injustice and idolatry, and he saw the rising threat of the Babylonian empire on the horizon. Unlike the other Hebrew prophets, Habakkuk doesn't accuse Israel or even speak to the people on Yahweh's behalf. Instead, all of his words are addressed to Yahweh. The book of Habakkuk tells us about Habakkuk's personal struggle to believe that Yahweh is good when there is so much tragedy and evil in the world.Habakkuk sees the darkness of the world as an invitation to have faith in Yahweh's promise to one day set things right. Living with such faith means trusting that Yahweh loves this world and works to one day eliminate all evil forever.1.   Burden = Same as in Nahum 1:1. Did see! = The Hebrew pronunciation places the chief pause on this verb, to emphasize the fact that the giving of the vision was of more importance than what was revealed by it. A second and lesser pause is placed on "burden", leaving "Habakkuk" as being less important. The verse therefore should read, "The burden or doom which he saw, Habakkuk the prophet".2.  LORD = Hebrew. Yahweh cry = cry for help in distress; as in Psa. 18:6, 41; P22:24. Compare Job 19:7. Jerm. 20:8. Showing that the cry is not personal but made in the name of all who suffered from the evil times. cry out = cry with a loud voice, implying the complaint.3.  iniquity = Hebrew. 'aven.  = From an unused root perhaps meaning properly to pant (hence to exert oneself, usually in vain; to come to naught); strictly nothingness; also, trouble, vanity, wickedness; specifically, an idol:  trouble, having special reference to the nature and consequences of evildoing. grievance = oppression, or injustice. Hebrew. 'amal. toil, that is, wearing effort; hence worry, whether of body or mind: Why do You show me iniquity, and cause me to see trouble? = This was, and is, an excellent question. Why does Yahweh allow us to see iniquity and trouble, in ourselves or in others?4.  the law = the Torahslacked = ‘poog' to be sluggish judgment = justice. the wicked = a lawless one: looking forward from the Chaldeans to the future Antichrist. Hebrew. rasha'.  the righteous = the just one (Art. with Hebrew. 'eth). DON'T OVERLOOK THIS!!Eth = the Aleph and Tav of the Hebrew Alphabet.Iniquity…trouble.… plundering and violence…strife…contention.… the law is powerless…justice never goes forth…perverse judgment proceeds = Habakkuk saw trouble and sin everywhere, from personal relationships to the courts of law. This distressed him so much that he cried out to Yahweh and asked Yahweh why He didn't bring judgment and immediately correct things.5.   Behold = Look ye. This is said for emphasis, introducing the change to Yahweh's answer. This is quoted in Acts 13:41. Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions? Feel free to email me; keitner2024@outlook.com

Habakkuk was saying to God, “My country is in a mess! Why don't You do something about it?” If you are asking “Why, God?” about anything, you can identify with Habakkuk and profit from God's answer to him.

Sunday School- Pastor Larson- Habakkuk 3:1-19

Anne shares from Habakkuk 1-3.

This powerful and faith-filled message from Freedom Church emphasizes the importance of trusting God "in the middle" — the often uncertain, challenging, or overlooked seasons of life. Drawing from Habakkuk 3:2 and Caleb's bold declaration in Joshua 14:12, the message encourages believers to speak words of faith, take courageous steps of obedience, and stay connected to a strong faith community as they believe for breakthrough in the remaining months of the year. It's a passionate reminder that God's promises are still alive, and the best can still come—even now.Freedom Church exists so that you would know God, find freedom, discover your purpose and make a difference. We want to help you find freedom from anything that holds you back from all that God has planned for your life. Our mandate comes from the Bible, and we have a few steps we've implemented to make finding freedom simple.

“How can a holy God use a sinful nation to accomplish His purposes?” That's the question the prophet Habakkuk struggles with in this section of God's Word. Discover there is no sin in questioning God and also learn why God permitted evil in Habakkuk's day and ours, too.

As Habakkuk's complaints and questions continue, God answers on a grander scale than the prophet can imagine, and in ways that likely won't please him. Watch the rise of Babylon as we learn more about the unfortunate consequences ahead if God's people continue with their wicked ways.

“What are you doing about evil?” In our last study, God's response to this question wasn't what Habakkuk was hoping for. So, instead of giving up, the prophet asks Him new and bigger questions. How will God respond? Will Habakkuk be satisfied? What do the answers mean to us today?

God didn't create us to stay the same, He calls us to grow, be transformed, and live with intentionality. In this message, Pastor Troy Smothermon shares how to turn vision into reality by setting God-centered goals, removing distractions, and running with faith and accountability.Every dream God gives us needs goals to become reality. Vision is the WHY and goals are the HOW. Habakkuk 2:2 tells us to write the vision and make it plain. When we set intentional, S.M.A.R.T goals and surround ourselves with accountability, we position ourselves to live out God's will with clarity. Don't just dream it, live it. Apply God's wisdom, set goals, and watch Him move in your life

“Why doesn't God do something about evil?” That's the question Habakkuk asks God in this poetic Old Testament book. Discover God's answer as Israel's burden unfolds and the prophet's faith is deepened.

In this episode and the next, we cover the places where the New Testament cites the Old Testament and there is a difference between the Septuagint (LXX) and the rabbinic text. In this first (of two) episodes, we cover citations from Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts; in the next episode, we will cover Romans through Revelation. By the sheer weight of the evidence, it will become undeniable that the New Testament authors were reading and citing the Septuagint — not some supposed ‘Hebrew' edition (that, in fact, no longer existed at the time of the composition of the New Testament). The Septuagint was the Bible of the Apostles; it was the Bible of the early Church; it was the Bible that God miraculously preserved — as He promised He would; and it should be our Bible today.

Rev. Andrew Dickinson preaches on Habakkuk 3:1-19 as the last sermon in our sermon series on Faith in Difficult Times.  In the final chapter of Habakkuk, we witness a profound spiritual transformation as the prophet faces devastating circumstances yet chooses joy in God. Despite impending invasion and suffering, Habakkuk moves from questioning to trust, from complaint to praise. His response teaches us three essential practices for finding joy amid suffering: remembering God's past faithfulness, holding onto future promises, and drawing near to God in the present. Like Horatio Spafford who wrote 'It Is Well With My Soul' after losing his four daughters at sea, we too can find this place of trust and joy even when external circumstances offer no comfort.

This is the twelfth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. In the final lesson, we bring the threads together by affirming that faithful apologetics must be rooted in a comprehensive Christ-centered worldview. You will be reminded that defending the faith is not merely about technique but about seeing all of life through the “spectacles of Scripture.” From metaphysics to ethics, Christ's lordship governs our understanding and our witness. This conclusion encourages you to press on in the calling of 1 Peter 3:15—to make a defense for the hope within you—with clarity, humility, and unwavering trust in the sufficiency of God's word.

Today is day 242 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Prayer. 242. What should you remember when prayers seem to go unanswered? I should be certain that God always hears my prayers and answers them by his wisdom, in his own time and manner, for my good, and for his glory. (Psalm 37:3–9; Isaiah 55; Habakkuk 3:17–19; Luke 18:1–8; James 4:2–3; 1 John 5:14–15) We will conclude today with Prayer 100.

Ability or Dependability? This week join Aaron with special guest Sean Butler as they unpack the Faithful fruit. In Scripture, the concept of faith is often misunderstood as mere belief or mental agreement. However, a deeper look at both the Hebrew (אָמֵן – aman, H539) and Greek (πιστεύω – pisteuō, G4100) roots reveals a fuller picture: faith is trustworthiness, reliability, and dependability—not just belief in God, but faithfulness to God. “The just shall live by his faith.” – Habakkuk 2:4 In both the Old and New Testaments, faith is consistently shown through action and loyalty. It's not enough to acknowledge God's existence; true faith manifests as consistent obedience and unwavering commitment to God's ways. This is why Abraham was counted righteous—not because he believed God existed, but because he trusted and obeyed Him. Moses, too, is called faithful in all God's house—not because of what he believed, but because of how he lived. Even Jesus commended individuals for their faith when He saw their actions—like the friends who lowered the paralytic through the roof (Matt. 9:2) or the Canaanite woman whose persistence led to her daughter's healing (Matt. 15:28). A faithful husband is not judged by his beliefs, but by his consistency, loyalty, and actions. Likewise, God calls His people to demonstrate faith by their dependability—by living lives that reflect His character. Faithfulness is Dependability ● Keeping commitments, even when it's hard. ● Trusting God's Word enough to live by it. ● Showing up consistently—for others and for God. ● Obeying when it's inconvenient. ● Being loyal to God's Kingdom over worldly pressures. Faith is more than ability. It's not about being strong, talented, or capable in ourselves—it's about being reliable and loyal to God, just as He is to us: "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God." – Deuteronomy 7:9 Faithfulness is the Victory In the end, it's not ability but faithfulness that overcomes the world. “This is the victory that overcomes the world—even our faith.” – 1 John 5:4

“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” (Habakkuk 2:14) The very first command given to Adam and Eve was “Be fruitful, a... More...

In this weeks Leadership Lessons Pastor Josh Kelsey guides us through Habakkuk's raw wrestle with God and what it means for leaders today. Surrounded by injustice and silence, Habakkuk didn't suppress his doubts, he brought them to God. That's where true leadership starts: in prayer, not the flesh. God's response still speaks today: “I am doing something you would not believe.” Even when life feels confusing, He's working behind the scenes. The promise remains—“the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord” (Hab. 2:14). This knowledge isn't just information, but intimacy that grows in the secret place. As leaders, we're not called to build monuments, but to carry His glory. Our reality is freedom. Our mission is people. Our cause is love. Leaders set the atmosphere, the culture you carry will shape those you lead.
