Notes Luke 19:1-10 Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4, 11-12 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Robb McCoy and Eric Fistler explore the readings for the week, focusing on the Gospel of Zacchaeus, the lament of Habakkuk, and insights from 2 Thessalonians. They discuss the often misunderstood nature of Zacchaeus' actions, the powerful protest against injustice found in Habakkuk's lament, and the encouragement offered to the early church in 2 Thessalonians. The conversation emphasizes themes of justice, hospitality, community, and the importance of maintaining faith amidst societal challenges. Takeaways The podcast introduces the readings for the week, focusing on Zacchaeus, Habakkuk, and 2 Thessalonians. Zacchaeus is often misunderstood; his actions reflect a pre-existing commitment to justice rather than a conversion. The crowd's grumbling about Zacchaeus highlights societal judgments and the need for hospitality. Habakkuk's lament serves as a powerful protest against injustice, emphasizing the need for faith amidst turmoil. The call to write a vision in Habakkuk signifies the importance of clarity and hope in times of distress. 2 Thessalonians addresses the struggles of the early church, encouraging perseverance and faithfulness. The text warns against the temptation to revel in the suffering of others, promoting a message of grace instead. The podcast emphasizes the importance of community and the good works happening within congregations. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their worthiness and the value of their contributions to the church. The conversation highlights the need for a vision of hope and justice in the face of societal challenges.

Cornerstone Community Church, Lynchburg VA

The prophet Habakkuk invites us into a profoundly honest conversation with God that feels strikingly contemporary. We encounter a faithful servant wrestling with the violence, injustice, and corruption he sees among God's own people, crying out in lament: 'How long, O Lord, must I call for help?' This ancient prayer resonates deeply with our modern experience as we witness oppression, political violence, and moral decay in our world and even within our faith communities. What makes Habakkuk's message so powerful is that lament itself becomes an act of faith. When we cry out 'when, God?' rather than 'if, God?' we demonstrate trust that God will act, even when the timing remains mysterious. God's unexpected answerthat He will use an even more violent nation, Babylon, to bring judgmentchallenges our assumptions about how divine justice works. Yet Habakkuk chooses to wait on his watchtower, trusting that God's vision will ultimately prevail. The central message emerges clearly: the righteous will live by faith. This means trusting God's promises even when circumstances seem contradictory, acting as if God's kingdom is already breaking into our reality, loving our neighbors amid disagreement, forgiving wrongs, releasing anxiety about the future, and giving daily thanks. Living by faith is not passive waiting but active trust that shapes how we engage with an unjust world while anticipating God's ultimate restoration. How does Habakkuk's lament challenge our understanding of what it means to have faith, especially when we feel God is silent or inactive in the face of injustice? In what ways might God's answer to our prayers be different from what we expect, and how can we cultivate the patience to wait and see what God is doing? What is the difference between lamenting to God and doubting God, and why is lament an important expression of faith rather than a sign of weakness? When we look at injustice in our own communities or churches rather than just pointing to external enemies, what does that reveal about our willingness to be honest before God? How can we discern whether we are fighting for truth out of love or simply because we want to win arguments and prove ourselves right? What does it practically look like to live by faith in a world that is clearly not as it should be, while waiting for God's promised kingdom to come? How does the story of God using Babylon, an even more evil nation, to judge Israel challenge our assumptions about how God works in history and current events? In what areas of your life are you tempted to trust in yourself rather than living by faithfulness to God, and what would it look like to shift that trust? How can we practice loving our neighbors, even those we disagree with strongly, while still standing for truth and justice as God defines them? What would change in your daily life if you truly believed and acted as if God will fulfill all His promises and bring His kingdom to completion?

Habakkuk 1-3; Psalm 93:16-23; Proverbs 20:11-15; First Timothy 1

Pastor Tim Wilson of Davisville Church points to the biblical prophet Habakkuk as an example of how to biblically navigate disappointment.

Join Profs. Rolf Jacobson, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner as they explore the powerful story of Zacchaeus and discuss the Revised Common Lectionary texts for the Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost. In this episode, the hosts dive deep into Luke 19:1-10, wrestling with a critical translation question in verse 8: Is Zacchaeus announcing a conversion, or revealing his existing practices? This interpretive choice completely changes how we understand the story. They explore themes of salvation, seeking the lost, and Jesus's consistent ministry of seeing those others overlook. The conversation also covers: * Isaiah 1:10-18 and prophetic sarcasm about religious hypocrisy * Habakkuk's lament about justice and faithful waiting * Psalm 32 as a penitential prayer often overlooked * 2 Thessalonians and prayers in times of affliction The hosts challenge assumptions about wealth, righteousness, and who belongs in God's kingdom, offering fresh perspectives for preachers preparing for this crucial moment in Luke's gospel as Jesus approaches Jerusalem. *  *  * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions!

Today's chapel is led by Cedarville University's Junior Class. Class Chaplain Jack Armstrong teaches from Habakkuk 3 that God's mercy and wrath prompts a faith that lasts.

Habakkuk (embrace)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.So far in this Book of Habakkuk, we have seen beginning with verses 1 thru 4 Habakkuk cry to Yahweh, Other words Habakkuk's Complaint.Then beginning with verses 5 thru 11 we read about Yahweh's answer.Now we come to the second problem: “Why do it this way, O YAHWEH?” Beginning with verses 12-17 Habakkuk wonders why Yahweh would use a nation more wicked than Judah to bring judgment on Judah.12  Art Thou not . . . ? = Note the change of subject, the prophets cry. God = Elohim. The Creator  my Elohim, mine Holy One = Habakkuk speaks in the name of his people. Yahweh was “the Holy One of Israel,” against whom the Chaldean was setting up himself. we shall not die = Thou, as being our Elohim/Creator, wilt not permit the Chaldeans utterly to destroy us. This reading is one of the eighteen called by the Hebrews “the appointment of the scribes”; the Rabbis think that Ezra and his colleagues corrected the old reading, “Thou shalt not die.”thou hast ordained them for judgment = that is, to execute Thy judgments.O mighty Elohim = O Rock. Compare Deut. 32:4, 15, 18, 30; 1Sam. 2:2. 2Sam. 23:3. Psa. 18:2, 31, 46; 19:14, &c.for correction = to chastise transgressors.13  Thou art, &c. = Note the Figure of Speech, Synchoresis; or, ConcessionMaking a Concession of one Point to gain anotherpurer ... than to behold evil = without being displeased at it. This is even more problematic to Habakkuk because he knew the character of Yahweh.canst not look on iniquity = unjust injuries done to Thy people.15   they take up all of them = all kinds of fishes, that is, men, as captives, and all other prey that comes in their way.angle = hook. drag = a fish-net. Occurs only here (verses: 15-16) and in Isa. 19:8.therefore = because of their successes.they rejoice = They glory in their crimes because attended with success16  sacrifice unto their net = that is, their arms, power, and military skill, wherewith they gained their victories; instead of to Yahweh. They idolize themselves for their own cleverness and might.17  Shall they ... empty their net? = Shall they be allowed without interruption to enjoy the fruits of their violence?Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

In the midst of turmoil we must believe that God is trustworthy.(Habakkuk 1:1-11)

Pastor Boyd Bettis preaches on Habakkuk 3:16-19.

Pastor Wayne Penn, Jr. continues our series on Habakkuk: Waiting on God with a message from Habakkuk 1:1-2:1.

In this powerful message, The Language of Sight, the mystery of spiritual vision is unveiled. Discover how revelation transforms mere words into divine encounters, how to see yourself through God's eyes, and how faith enables you to perceive beyond natural limits. Drawing from Ephesians, Habakkuk, and Genesis, this sermon unlocks the “Habakkuk Blueprint,” teaching you to write the vision, run with it, and expand your spiritual borders. Let your eyes be opened to discern His movement, receive divine instruction, and walk boldly in the light of revelation.

The sermon centers on the foundational truth of justification by faith alone, rooted in Habakkuk 2:4 and developed through Scripture's consistent witness from the patriarchs to the New Testament. It emphasizes that faith is not a human achievement or merit but the instrument by which the sinner receives Christ's imputed righteousness, resting entirely on God's faithfulness and the finished work of Jesus Christ. The message contrasts this with pride and self-reliance, illustrated through the contrast of the Pharisee and the publican, and refutes false teachings—particularly Roman Catholicism—that conflate justification with progressive sanctification or human cooperation. Ultimately, the sermon calls all listeners to simple, present faith in Christ, affirming that salvation is secure, complete, and accessible to all, regardless of age, background, or spiritual history, because it depends not on the strength of faith but on the sufficiency of Christ.

Habakkuk 3

Chapter 7 A proper understanding of the infinite purity, the glorious essential holiness of God's nature, his absolute eternal righteousness as the Lord and judge of all, will teach people what views they should have of anything done in them or by them. "Our God is a consuming fire," Hebrews 12:29; "a God of purer eyes than to behold evil," Habakkuk 1:13; "who will by no means clear the guilty," Exodus 34:7; "whose judgment it is, that those who commit sin are worthy of death," Romans 1:32; "a holy God, a jealous God, who will not forgive transgressions and sins," Joshua 24:19. While the dread and terror of the excellence of his holiness and righteousness is before people, they will not easily rely on their own righteousness.

“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!” (Psalm 42:5–6 NLT) The Christian life is full of difficult questions. Many of them begin with “Why, Lord?” or some variation thereof. The Old Testament prophet Habakkuk asked, “How long, O Lord, must I call for help? But you do not listen! ‘Violence is everywhere!’ I cry, but you do not come to save. Must I forever see these evil deeds? Why must I watch all this misery? Wherever I look, I see destruction and violence. I am surrounded by people who love to argue and fight” (Habakkuk 1:2–3 NLT). The psalmist Asaph asked, “Has the Lord rejected me forever? Will he never again be kind to me? Is his unfailing love gone forever? Have his promises permanently failed? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he slammed the door on his compassion?” (Psalm 77:7–9 NLT). I have my questions for God that I’ve asked many times. I’m sure that you have yours, too. But we must see these questions for what they are: temporary sources of pain, discouragement, or confusion. The apostle Paul wrote, “Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely” (1 Corinthians 13:12 NLT). Our earthly perspective and understanding are limited. All our questions will be answered someday. God answered Habakkuk. “Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it” (Habakkuk 1:5 NLT). And passages such as Ecclesiastes 3 give us context for our questions. “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. . . . A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance” (verses 1, 4 NLT). A well-lived life is one in which we keep our questions in proper perspective. One in which we refuse to allow them to cause bitterness or resentment toward God—or to live “out of season,” in the context of Ecclesiastes 3. In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul recounts praying for God to remove a “thorn” in his flesh—some kind of affliction that caused him difficulties. God chose not to. Paul didn’t understand why, but he didn’t let it slow him down. A well-lived life is one that embraces the challenge of faith—that is, trusting God without having all the answers. A well-lived life is one in which we cling to the words of the psalmist in Psalm 42:5–6: “Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!” (NLT). Reflection question: What will you do with your unanswered questions for God?

As we cover the siege of Jerusalem and it's fall there will be a lot of overlap as we try to cover all the material that pertains to this period in biblical history. Today, we'll begin with a reading that spans the entire book of Habakkuk, wherein the prophet of the same name is recorded speaking to the Lord on behalf of his people. He openly and honestly struggles with understanding why God would allow injustice to prevail. By his conversation with the Lord, we are reminded of the sovereign power and authority of God, who calls the righteous to live by faith. Later, we'll read the final chapter of 2 Chronicles which covers the last four kings of Judah, the destruction of Jerusalem, and then a jump to Cyrus of Persia who sends the people of Judah back to their land.Habakkuk 1 - 1:07 . Habakkuk 2 - 4:38 . Habakkuk 3 - 8:59 . 2 Chronicles 36 - 13:06 . Proverbs 14:16 - 18:20 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

The book of Habakkuk is one of the twelve Minor Prophets in the Old Testament, likely written around 610–605 B.C., just before the Babylonian invasion of Judah. It is unique among prophetic books because it does not primarily address the people with God's message, but instead records a dialogue, or argument, between the prophet Habakkuk and God. Habakkuk expresses his profound struggle to reconcile God's goodness and justice with the rampant evil and injustice he sees in his own nation, Judah. Quick Summary: The book is structured around a back-and-forth between the prophet and God: Habakkuk's First Complaint (1:2-4): Habakkuk cries out to God, asking why He allows the violence and injustice in Judah to continue unchecked. God's First Answer (1:5-11): God responds that He is raising up the Babylonians (Chaldeans), a fierce and swift nation, to bring judgment upon Judah. Habakkuk's Second Complaint (1:12-2:1): Habakkuk protests, asking how a holy God can use a nation even more wicked than Judah to punish them. He questions God's justice in using the Babylonians, who are violent, ruthless, and worship their own power. God's Second Answer (2:2-20): God instructs Habakkuk to write down the vision: the Babylonians will also face inevitable judgment for their arrogance and violence through a series of five "woes." Crucially, God gives the famous promise, "the righteous shall live by his faith" (2:4), assuring Habakkuk that even if justice seems delayed, it will surely come, and the faithful must trust God in the meantime. Habakkuk's Prayer of Faith (Chapter 3): The book concludes with a poetic psalm where Habakkuk recalls God's powerful acts of deliverance in the past, leading him from a place of fear and doubt to a profound expression of joy and unwavering trust in God, even if disaster strikes all around him. The central theme is a transition from perplexity and doubt to absolute faith in God's sovereignty and ultimate justice, regardless of present circumstances.

It's possible to move from crying to confidence, from sobbing to singing. Even though our circumstances remain unchanged, our perspective can change. And the object of our hope must change. That happens when we learn to wait on God and live by faith. When we remember that God is sovereign, His timing is perfect, and His plan can be trusted. Even when we cannot see His hand.

“The righteous shall live by faith.”This foundational verse from Habakkuk 2:4—echoed again in Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews—calls us to consider what true faith really means. That's why Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott are sitting down for a four-part series exploring the question: What even is faith?Today's episode is part two of that conversation on The Connecting Podcast.

There are tough days that force of us to ask God why?  What if we changed the question and asked God instead, how might I bring You glory?  It might not shift our circumstance but it will shift our focus!
