Podcasts about Habakkuk

Like Jonah before him, the prophet Nahum preaches devastation and ruin for Ninevah, the capital of Assyria, a place of unparalleled power and wealth. Though they thought themselves to be secure from danger, their downfall came after nearby rivers flooded the city and destroyed part of the city wall, allowing Babylon to enter easily and set it ablaze. Later in Habakkuk, 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.Nahum 1 - 1:15 . Nahum 2 - 4:27 . Nahum 3 - 7:20 . Habakkuk 1 - 12:54 . Habakkuk 2 - 16:20 . Habakkuk 3 - 20:55 . Psalm 149 - 25:02 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Habakkuk 1:1-11 by Rev. Mike Awtry

The way you see your past reveals your heart, shapes your present, and sets the trajectory for your future. Gratitude isn't just for the good moments, it's God's will for every moment.  1 Thessalonians 5:18-Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.  Habakkuk 3:17–18-Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. You can't honor God and not honor People. Rom 12:10-Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Philippians 2:3-Don't do anything for selfish purposes, but with humility think of others as better than yourselves.  

Paul and Silas sang hymns in the midnight of their prison cell, and Habakkuk rejoiced even when the fields were empty. Praise is a defiant light in the dark—a refusal to let despair have the last word.

Habakkuk 1:1-11 | Pastor Mike Awtry

Today's scripture reference is Habakkuk 3:1-15.

By David Chornomaz - This message which uses the biblical book of Habakkuk to explore the theme of wrestling with difficult questions and faith during challenging circumstances. The speaker draws parallels between personal struggles and the prophet Habakkuk's deep distress over injustice and God's seemingly delayed

As Israel's conquest of the land concludes in Joshua 11–12, God calls His people to remember His victories, obey His commands, and never forget the source of their blessings. Pastor Matthew used the closing of Joshua's battles to challenge believers to stay humble, thankful, and faithful — not just at Thanksgiving, but every day of life. Opening and Thanksgiving Reflection Pastor began with a prayer of gratitude, urging believers to reflect on the blessings of life and freedom. “May we not get complacent or presumptuous — all we have is today, and that day is a gift from God.” He reminded the congregation that none of us are promised tomorrow, and that gratitude should guard our hearts from pride and forgetfulness. Joshua's Obedience and God's Commands (Joshua 11:12–23) Joshua followed exactly what God commanded Moses, leaving “nothing undone of all the Lord had commanded.” Pastor emphasized that faithfulness means following God's Word, not reinventing it. “You don't get to become a Christian and play by your own rules — God doesn't need your ideas.” Many want to hear God's voice but won't read His Word; yet Scripture itself is the contract between Christ the Groom and His Bride, the Church. Application: God reveals Himself through His Word. If you want direction, open the Book before asking for new revelation. God's Sovereignty and Human Accountability Pastor addressed the difficult truth of divine judgment: God hardened the hearts of nations that continually rejected Him. He compared this to Pharaoh's hardened heart — a consequence of repeated rebellion. “The most fearful verse in the Bible is not in Revelation — it's where it says, ‘The Spirit of the Lord left Samson, and he knew it not.'” The warning: don't resist God so long that conviction disappears. The most terrifying state is when the Holy Spirit withdraws and a person no longer feels remorse. Lesson: “Conviction is a gift — if you can sin without feeling it, something's wrong.” The Nature of Sin and Boundaries of Love Pastor explained that God sets boundaries because He loves us, just as parents set boundaries for their children. From the Garden of Eden onward, sin began when man doubted God's goodness and believed He was holding out on them. “The devil convinced Eve that God was keeping her from something better — that's the same lie today.” Every sin still begins with mistrust of God's intentions. Remembering God's Victories (Joshua 12) God listed all 31 kings Israel defeated — not to glorify Joshua, but to remind the people of every battle God had already won. “When you're in a new fight, remember how many victories God has already given you.” Pastor urged believers to stop panicking in new trials: “You've already watched God feed you, heal you, and deliver you. Don't fall apart now — the same God is still fighting for you.” Forgetting past victories leads to unbelief, which Scripture calls evil, not immaturity. Deuteronomy 8 — The Call to Remember Pastor turned to Deuteronomy 8 to explain why God told Israel to remember: God humbled them in the wilderness to test their hearts, provide manna, and teach them dependence on His Word. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.” Their clothes never wore out; their feet never swelled — a sign of constant divine provision. He connected this to modern blessings: “No nation has been as blessed as Israel — except America. But we're in danger of forgetting who made it that way.” The Danger of Forgetfulness and Prosperity When life gets comfortable — full houses, steady income, security — people forget God. He quoted Habakkuk, rebuking Israel for caring for their own houses while neglecting God's. “You'll live better on 90% honoring God than 100% stealing from Him.” Forgetting God leads to pride, and pride leads to destruction. Key Reminder: “When you're full, don't forget who filled your table.” God's Discipline and the Training of Faith Pastor compared spiritual growth to training in a weight room — hardships strengthen believers for future battles. “God's taking you into His gym to build your endurance. He's preparing you for the fourth quarter.” Trials are not punishments but preparation, teaching us dependence and perseverance. The Next Generation and God's Trustworthiness Parents cannot shield children from every hardship. “You can't fight all their battles — God's using those struggles to build them.” He warned against over-sheltering and fear-driven parenting: “Trust God's plan for your children. He's a better protector than you.” Like Jochebed with Moses, sometimes faith means letting go and trusting God's purpose. The Source of Blessing and True Prosperity God alone gives the power to get wealth — to establish His covenant, not to glorify ourselves. “If God doesn't open the door, you won't get anything done. It's His power that gives you ability.” Pastor cautioned against idolatry of money, possessions, or success — anything that displaces God's primacy. Final Exhortation — Do Not Forget the Lord Forgetfulness leads to destruction: “If you forget the Lord and follow other gods, you shall surely perish.” False gods are powerless — Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius remain in the grave, but Jesus is risen. “Until someone else rises from the dead, I'm sticking with the One who did.” The graves will one day burst open as the final testimony of Christ's power, proving again that He is who He says He is. Closing Challenge and Prayer Stop running your own life; it only leads to exhaustion and emptiness. Surrender daily and thank God for every battle already won. “When the next battle comes, don't tell God how big your problem is — tell your problem how big your God is.” The service ended with the Lord's Prayer, sealing the message in gratitude and worship. Core Message Remember what God has already done. Obey His Word — partial obedience is disobedience. Be thankful in every season. Don't forget the Lord who gives life, strength, and blessing. Trust God with your future, your children, and your battles — He never fails.

Discover how to give thanks even when life does not go the way you hoped. This Thanksgiving message explores Habakkuk's declaration of nevertheless gratitude, the discipline of disappointment, and the daily gifts God places right in front of us. A heartfelt reminder to wake up tomorrow and say thank you, not because life is perfect but because God is faithful.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thess. 5:18, NKJV) In this message, Pastor Andrew unpacks what it really means to live with a spirit of thanksgiving — not just one week in November, but every day of the believer's life. Scripture calls us to something far deeper than seasonal gratitude: a lifestyle where thanksgiving becomes the posture of our hearts, no matter what is happening around us. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Colossians 3:15–17; 4:2, Ephesians 5:19–20, Habakkuk 3:17–18, and Jonah 2, we explore:

What if you could breathe again — even before life gets easier? In today's powerful message from Pastor Ken Senchal, we dive into The Power of Contentment — a life-transforming truth from our ongoing Grateful Rebels series. Most people chase peace. But contentment is when peace finally chases YOU. Pastor Ken walks us through four biblical figures — Paul, Habakkuk, Job, and Hannah — each revealing a different dimension of supernatural contentment: • Paul shows that contentment is inner strength from Christ • Habakkuk shows how to rejoice when everything collapses • Job teaches us how to worship through wreckage • Hannah demonstrates how God settles our soul before He solves the problem This episode will realign your heart, steady your faith, and remind you that God's presence is enough in every season.

Listen as Dr. Larry Oldham preaches a sermon called Probing the Purposes of God from Habakkuk 1:12-2:1.

In today's NEW PODCAST, Bible teacher Dave Wager walks through what it really means to give thanks “with all our heart” to the God who provides everything we enjoy. Starting from Psalm 9:1, he explains that true thankfulness needs a Person as its object, not just things. Hope, love, and gratitude all have to be directed somewhere, and for the Christian that “somewhere” is ultimately God. Dave contrasts our American abundance with the deep joy and generosity he witnessed in a poor African village, where believers gladly shared their only meal with him and pointed every ounce of gratitude back to the Lord's daily provision. Their example forced him to confess how casual and shallow his own thanksgiving had often been, even while living with full cupboards and constant comfort. From there, Dave draws a line from Scripture to our own Thanksgiving tables, reminding us that it is God who gives life, safety, health, work, family, and even the heritage of our national Thanksgiving celebration. He unpacks passages like 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 and Philippians 4:6, showing that God's will for His people is to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in everything, including hardship. Using Job, Habakkuk, and the history of the pilgrims, he shows how trials expose our dependence and highlight God's faithfulness. Above all, Dave centers the conversation on the gospel, calling listeners to thank God for His “indescribable gift” in Jesus Christ, who died so we could be adopted into God's family. This Thanksgiving, he urges us to remember that God does not need us, but He wants us, and to respond with lives that gratefully point every good gift back to the Giver.

Today's scripture reference is Habakkuk 2:2-20.

Rejoice in the Lord at all times. Find your strength in the God of your salvation. No matter what you are facing, know the Lord is your strength! “yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!” (Habakkuk 3:18 NLT-SE)

Rejoice in the Lord at all times. Find your strength in the God of your salvation. No matter what you are facing, know the Lord is your strength! “yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!” (Habakkuk 3:18 NLT-SE)

In this thought-provoking episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Tony and Jesse dive deep into Jesus's parable of the dragnet from Matthew 13:47-50. They examine how this often-overlooked parable reveals profound truths about God's kingdom, final judgment, and the ultimate separation of the righteous from the wicked. The hosts explore the rich Old Testament connections, particularly to Habakkuk, and demonstrate how this parable complements the parable of the wheat and tares while emphasizing the judgment aspect of God's kingdom. Through careful textual analysis and theological reflection, they remind listeners that God's sovereignty extends over both salvation and judgment, challenging believers to live faithfully in light of the coming sorting. Key Takeaways The kingdom of Heaven encompasses both salvation for the righteous and judgment for the wicked - it's not merely about blessing but also includes God's sovereign rule over all outcomes. The dragnet imagery teaches that no one will escape God's judgment - everyone will be gathered and sorted, with no possibility of evasion. Hell is not the "absence of God" but rather experiencing God's presence without His grace - the unmediated wrath of God upon sinners. Jesus's use of fishing and "clean/unclean" imagery connects to Old Testament purity laws, reinforcing the idea that only those cleansed by Christ will be kept. While the parable of the wheat and tares focuses on present patience, the dragnet emphasizes the future judgment and final separation. Old Testament connections, particularly from Habakkuk and Ezekiel, show how God has consistently used "net" imagery to describe His sovereign judgment. Careful meditation on Scripture, especially Jesus's parables, reveals profound theological truths that casual reading might miss. Expanded Explanations The Kingdom Encompasses Both Salvation and Judgment The hosts identify a paradigm-shifting perspective in this parable: the kingdom of Heaven includes not just the blessing of the righteous but also the judgment of the wicked. Tony notes that Christians often think of God's kingdom only in terms of the elect enjoying fellowship with God, but this parable reveals that God's sovereignty and kingship extend to His judgment as well. The dragnet gathers everything in its path - both the "good" and "bad" fish - demonstrating that all people will be brought under Christ's authority for evaluation. This understanding challenges the common notion that hell is somehow outside God's domain. Rather, even the punishment of the wicked falls under God's sovereign reign. This more comprehensive view of God's kingdom reminds believers that God's authority is absolute and extends to every corner of creation and every spiritual reality. The Inescapable Net of God's Judgment Jesse highlights how the specific term "dragnet" (as translated in the LSB) carries significant theological weight. Unlike a typical fishing net cast from a single location, a dragnet was stretched between two boats and systematically pulled toward shore, catching everything in its path. This imagery powerfully communicates that no one will escape God's judgment - the net catches all kinds of fish indiscriminately. The hosts connect this to Old Testament passages, particularly in Habakkuk, where God's judgment is described as a net that captures entire nations. This emphasis on the comprehensive nature of judgment confronts our culture's belief that individuals might somehow avoid accountability before God. The parable teaches that all people will face judgment, with the difference being not whether they are caught in the net, but how they are categorized once caught. For believers, this underscores the necessity of being found "in Christ" when the sorting occurs. Memorable Quotes "Either way, you can't escape the net. This is profound because I think so much of our culture thinks they're gonna escape the net or the nets. They're gonna be able to get outside of the net." - Jesse Schwamb "Hell is the absence of, is the presence of God absent grace, right? Unmediated... It's God's unmediated, absolute entire wrath poured out on wicked sinners. That's what hell is." - Tony Arsenal "We gotta sit down at the table, take our time... Have the family style dinner passed around. Talk to everybody and set aside the time... We're taking our time to enjoy and to savor. And I think you and I are always trying to grow in that to some degree. But here again, we have just a lovely excuse to do a little savoring of the scripture." - Jesse Schwamb Resources Mentioned Matthew 13:47-50 - The Parable of the Dragnet Habakkuk 1:14-17 - Old Testament "net" imagery Ezekiel 32:1-3 - God's judgment as a net Deuteronomy 14 - Clean and unclean animals The Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) - Recommended Bible translation "The Will of the Many" by James Islington "The Strength of the Few" by James Islington Reformed Brotherhood Telegram Channel - t.me/ReformBrotherhood Full Transcript [Full transcript available on our website]

In this powerful message, we dive into the heart of Habakkuk's honest questions and Jeremiah's promise of hope. What do you do when the prayers seem unanswered, the season feels dry, and life looks nothing like what you expected? You cling. You wait. You trust. You rejoice.This episode invites you into a deeper place of intimacy with God—not for the answers He gives, but for who He is. Learn how to embrace God in disappointment, grow through the waiting, and choose joy even when the “fig tree has not blossomed.”If you've been wrestling, weary, or wondering where God is in your situation, this word will breathe strength, clarity, and fresh faith into your spirit. Tune in and be lifted.

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.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.In this chapter 2 we have an answer expected by the prophet (verse 1), and returned by the Spirit of Yahweh, to the complaints which the prophet made of the violence's and victories of the Chaldeans in the close of the prior chapter. The answer is,  I. That after Yahweh has served his own purposes by the prevailing power of the Chaldeans, has tried the faith and patience of his people, and distinguished between the hypocrites and the sincere among them, he will consider with the Chaldeans, will humble and bring down, not only that proud monarch Nebuchadnezzar, but that proud monarchy, for their boundless and greedy thirst after dominion and wealth, for which they themselves should at length be made a prey (verses 2-8). II. That not they only, but all other sinners like them, should perish under a divine woe.  1. Those that are jealous are greedy of wealth and honors (verses 9, 11).  2. Those that are harmful and oppressive, and raise estates by wrongful acts and the violent seizure of someone's property (verses 12-14).  3. Those that promote drunkenness that they may expose their neighbors to shame (verses 15-17).  4. Those that worship idols (verses 18-20).We continue with verse 11 11.   This is poetic language, describing how even their habitations would cry out because of Yahweh's judgment and destruction. A rafter from wood will answer it: There is (even) unity between these building materials. At that time, the walls of the houses were built from stone, and roofs were made of wood. Using poetic language, the writer is revealing to us that even the wood and stone cried out a warning to the people. These inanimate objects realized that the sinfulness of the people was going to be ultimately judged by Yahweh. The Babylonians were not smarter than the stone and the wood of their homes. Those who lived in these houses paid no attention to what their future truly held.12.  Yahweh was not only displeased with the greedy man, He also pronounced a woe against the violent man.This was the foundation of the Babylonian mindset. They built up their cities, their empire, by shedding the blood of others. They incorrectly thought that this activity was going to ultimately make them strong and secure. This was not the case.13.   Note: This verse is a question. The grammar here always implies a negative answer. 14.   Note: This verse is a verse of contrast. The other verses have dealt with the Babylonians. In this verse we see that Yahweh shows a contrast between the Babylonians and their idols and Himself – the only true Yahweh, the Yahweh of Israel. Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

The Father's presence changes our perspective.(Habakkuk 3)

Pastor James Walden continues our "Habakkuk - Waiting on God" series with a sermon on Habakkuk 3:17-19.You can find our sermon discussion questions at rvrsd.org/sgquestions.

This powerful message challenges us to discover the transformative power of gratitude even in our darkest moments. Drawing from Habakkuk 3:17-18, we're confronted with a radical declaration: 'Although the fig tree doesn't blossom... yet I will rejoice in the Lord.' This isn't naive optimism—it's spiritual warfare. When everything around us screams failure, when our bank accounts are empty, when our health reports are discouraging, we're called to put on what Isaiah 61:3 describes as 'the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.' This isn't just religious language; it's a practical spiritual discipline. The message emphasizes that gratitude isn't about thanking God FOR everything, but IN everything—recognizing that not every trial comes from God, but every trial can become an opportunity for God to demonstrate His faithfulness. We learn that praise shifts atmospheres, that words are containers carrying either life or death, and that our 'yet I will praise' moments become the bridge between our current reality and God's promised outcome. The call is clear: stop being rollercoaster praisers who worship only when life is good, and become consistent worshipers who understand that what we praise through, we grow through. This is how we activate our God-confidence and refuse to let circumstances dictate our spiritual posture.

"Is justification by faith really taught throughout the whole Bible—or is it just a “Pauline doctrine”? In Galatians 2:15–16, Paul insists that “we who are Jews know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.” Why does he assume that every faithful Jew already knew this truth? Because the Old Testament itself proclaimed it.In this sermon, we explore the historical witness to justification by faith:Why justification by faith is the only way God's justice can be upheldHow Psalm 143:2 shows that no one can be justified by works before GodWhy the sacrificial system and atonement point to salvation by grace, not meritHow Abraham, David, Habakkuk, and the Prophets all taught justification by faithWhy Christ himself is called “The Lord our Righteousness” (Jer. 23:6)From Genesis to the Prophets, from the Psalms to the Gospel, the entire Bible proclaims the same message: no one can be declared righteous by works of the law. Our only hope is Christ, whose perfect righteousness is freely imputed to us through faith alone.This is the gospel Paul defended with all his strength—the same gospel proclaimed by Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and fulfilled in Christ.#JustificationByFaith #FaithAlone #Galatians #OldTestament #Messiah #ReformedTheology #ChristAlone #GraceAlone #SolaFide #GospelTruth"
