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."

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.

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.

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

“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” — Habakkuk 2:14 In a world that often feels uncertain, divided, and heavy, this verse gives us a bigger picture. God’s glory will fill the earth. Not might. Not fear. Not chaos. His glory. In this episode, we unpack what that promise really means for us today. How do we live when we don’t yet see that fullness? How do we carry hope when culture feels loud and overwhelming? And what does it look like to reflect God’s glory in our everyday conversations, choices, and relationships? This is a conversation about vision, confidence, and faith — choosing to live now in light of what God has already promised.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Series: Minor Prophets-Nahum Habakkuk ZephaniahService: Sun PM WorshipType: SermonSpeaker: Bill Sanchez

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 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.

Embrace God's Call On Your Life | Habakkuk 1:5“Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” — Habakkuk 1:5 (NIV)In Part 2 of our vision series looking ahead to what God has for Riverview Christian in 2026, we're reminded that God is always at work—often in ways bigger than we can imagine. The question isn't if God is calling… it's whether we will embrace it.Every Christian is called. Every believer is gifted. And like Moses in Exodus 3, we often respond with, “Who am I?” But God's answer is the same today as it was then: “I will be with you.” Our calling isn't built on our confidence—it's built on His presence.As we look forward together, this sermon challenges each of us to move from hesitation to faith—and to trust that the Great “I AM” still sends, equips, and walks with His people.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that God has called them too.#RiverviewChristian #Habakkuk1 #EmbraceTheCall #FaithInAction #ChurchVision #IAm #TrustGodThis week's message is from our Lead Pastor, John Letterman.Let's Connect: http://bit.ly/3XbRE9TFree Access To RightNow Media:https://app.rightnowmedia.org/join/rccreadingSocial Media:@riverviewchristian on Facebook and InstagramWebsite:riverviewchristian.churchSupport the show

“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.

Hope When You're in a Holding Pattern – waiting feels long, but it's not wasted.  Holly walks through powerful Bible stories of long waits — Abraham & Sarah (25 years for a promise), Joseph (13 years in slavery & prison), David (15 years between anointing & throne) — and how God used those in-between seasons to build character, trust, and deeper faith.Scripture highlights:  - Isaiah 40:31 — “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength”  - Psalm 27:14 — “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart”  - Habakkuk 2:3 — “Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come”  - Lamentations 3:25 — “The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him”Real-life encouragement for Christian women today:  - Waiting for a job, healing, relationship breakthrough, or answered prayer  - How to keep hope alive when delays feel endless  - Practical ways to stay anchored: naming a promise, speaking truth, gratitude in the small, resting in the “meanwhile”Perfect for anyone in the in-between, feeling stuck, or tempted to give up — hope is cultivated right here.  Connect with Holly & She Lives Fearless- Instagram: @hollyanewton (daily encouragement & behind-the-scenes)  - Website: shelivesfearless.com (show notes, devotionals, Rose & Kate jewelry)  - Email Holly directly: holly@shelivesfearless.com — she reads every message  - Join the email list for weekly episode notes & exclusives: shelivesfearless.com  Thank you for being part of this community — your stories and prayers mean the world.  #HopeInWaiting #CultivatingHope #ChristianHope #GodsTiming #WaitingOnGod #SheLivesFearless

We Got a Dream Again • Friday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Genesis 37:5 (NKJV) “Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more.” Genesis 37:9 (NKJV) “Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, ‘Look, I have dreamed another dream. 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.

Hey CBJ Family, Have you ever found that you've done everything right- prayed, waited, believed...and life still felt unfair? On today's epsiode part 2 in the series, Kelley and Taylor are speaking directly to those who love God deeply but feel quielty disappointed, frustrated, or confused when life feels unfair. If life feels unfair right now, it doesn't mean your faith si weak, it might mean you are human! Our family understands this personally. Kelley's mom battled Rhuematoid Arthritis. Kelley's dad faced a rare blood cancer diagnosis. Kelley has walked through breast cancer. Taylor has walked through dark times searching for her biological father.   This episode is not theory, it's lived faith. If you've ever asked why suffering touches families, how to trust God during illness, or whether faith and grief can coexist, this conversation will meet you gently, honeslty, and biblically. Scriptures we ancho to include: Psalm 13:1-2, Habakkuk 1:2-3, Psalm 62:8, and Lamentations 3:31-33.

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. If you want to listen to our episodes on Habakkuk 3 those are episodes 156 and 157.  Our website is The Context and Color of the BibleWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

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.
