He prophesied in the time of Joachim, just before the Jewish people were taken into captivity in Babylon. He himself escaped captivity, and after Jerusalem was destroyed, returned to his homeland. Once he was taking some food to his harvesters when an Angel transported him to Babylon to feed the Prophet Daniel in the lions' den, then bore him back to Judea (this is told in the full version of the book of Daniel, ch. 6 LXX). The third chapter of his prophecy is used as the Fourth Ode of the Matins Canon(the Ode is usually sung in full only in monasteries during Lent, but the eirmos of the Fourth Ode, sung in many parishes, usually refers to the Prophet). His holy relics were found through a revelation in Palestine during the reign of Theodosius the Great, and a chapel built there. His name means "Father of the Resurrection."

He was a Galilean of the tribe of Simeon. The Old Testament book that bears his name foretells the destruction of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, by the Medes, and the restoration of the Kingdom of Judah; all of this came to pass. Nahum is counted as the seventh of the Minor Prophets. He reposed in peace. His name means 'consolation' or 'repose.'   Five of the Prophets (Nahum, Habbakuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, and Daniel) are commemorated in December. At one time a Feast of the Twelve Prophets was celebrated on December 4 at the Church of the Resurrection, but this feast is no longer on the calendar. The days leading up to Christ's Nativity contain many commemorations of the faithful remnant of Israel, all of whose hopes were fulfilled in the birth of the Messiah.

Shortly thereafter, a Niedar dwarf named Francis offers to buy the bracelet and the heroes become very suspicious, interrogating and taunting him. He ends up leaving and approaches Gunner offering to buy it one last time, and when rejected, he moves on. Later that day a mysterious fire is started as Boros quickly puts it out. The heroes begin to grow suspicious, as if there is a connection between the dwarf, the cultists and the fire. The next morning Gunner discovers his bracelet missing, and they immediately grow suspicious that it must be the dwarf. They make a plan to confront him, but instead, Li'High reveals she took one of the parcels that fell out of the crashed caravan a week back and opening it reveals a necklace. They offer it to the dwarf, but he is not trusting of the heroes after the way they treated him, and increasingly as they continue to pester him. Li'High leaves into the wilderness by herself and renounces her god Habbakuk, desiring to worship Chemosh, but not knowing how to make the connection with the new god while she is on the road, and inadvertently is connected by Morgion. She rebukes him, and they all continue to a roadhouse where they eat. Some local adventurers are hired to guard their old wagon in the caravan. They search some of the wagons and mark the cultist wagons for future reference, then they continue on for a few days ending up in a brutally cold rainstorm. They arrive at another road house only to be turned away, and the hired adventurers refuse to help. Li'High breaks into the upper level and is contacted by Morgion again, and this time accepts. He creates a half-cask of diseased ale which is unable to be refused. Upon touching it, she contracts the fatal disease but is protected as an agent of Morgion. She murders the people in the inn, then sets it on fire. While it’s burning she steals food from the inn, tossing it to Boros who contracts the same disease and dies with his friends watching, too afraid to approach and help him, believing they were helpless. Li'High flees into the wilderness, consumed by sorrow and an unwilling agent of Morgion.

Sermon Title: Truth Be ToldAn in-depth look at the book of Habbakuk

It is human to see the world and wonder about God's role in it. Is God in the depths? Does He see the devastation? Today we look to Habbakuk, who had the same sentiments-- and God answers him!Scripture Readings:Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4|2 Timothy 1:8-14|Luke 17:1-10Website : glc.gracepocatello.orgStay Connected to us: facebook.com/glcpocatelloOnline offering can be done through our secure platform: https://glc.gracepocatello.org/give-online/YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/PocatelloGrace

When the apostles ask Jesus to increase their faith, what are they requesting? A related passage in Habbakuk reads, “The just shall live by his faith (Heb.emunah). This word has a cluster of meanings: trust, belief, persistence, fidelity or faithfulness. By examining the times in which Habbakuk lived (not much different from ours) we can come to a better understanding of what it means for us to live by His faithfulness.

Habbakuk 1:1-4 & 2:1-4, 2 Timothy 1:1-14 & Luke 17:5-10

The prophet Habbakuk cries out to the Lord in the midst of the chaos of the world. His cry is ours> (How Long, O Lord, How Long? Psalm 13: Soverign Grace Music)  The homilies of Msgr. Stephen J. AvilaPastor, St. Joseph, Guardian of the Holy Family Parish, Falmouth, MAThanks for listening! May God's Word find a home in you.

For 5 October 2025, The Twenty Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, based on Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-4 (Image: Detail of a miniature of Habbakuk crying to God, from The British Library Board (picryl.com), Public Domain)

In this sermon, Dion van Breda wraps up the preaching series on the Book of Habbakuk, with the encouragement that when we know what God has done before, we can trust Him while we wait for Him to act in our present circumstances.1 Corinthians 12: 7 - 10 (NIV)Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Thann Bennett, author of The Equipped Newsletter and host of The Equipped, challenges us from the book of Habbakuk that sometimes we might not understand, or even agree, with something God says. But He's not always asking you to understand, but to faithfully share the Word.  Daniel DeWitt of Theolatte and Scholar Leaders shares about Dr. Jean Musavuli, a Congolese Christian who, in the face of much persecution, continue to impact the DRC because of his commitment to Jesus, seeking justice, and praying for his country's transformation.  Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

1 Corinthians 10 warns against idolatry. It was the root cause of the infant Jewish nation's sins as they left Egypt under Moses. Paul explains that their experiences were typical of, and in common with, those of the believers; and hence a clarion warning lest we think we stand; yet fall through pride. Verses 1-5 contain a warning to the Corinthian believers against complacency since the experiences of Israel leaving Egypt were both symbolic of our walk in Christ and in reality very similar to all followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul says that God's provision of water is like the spiritual drink of His Word and our sustaining throughout our wanderings in the wilderness of life. Verses 6-13 warn us against idolatry which is called "covetousness" in Colossians 3 verse 5. Trials are certain to come to every disciple. However we need not be discouraged since our Heavenly Father has promised that the trial will not be greater than we can bear. And even if it seems unbearable that He will provide us with a way of escape. For our part we must pray: "Lead us not into temptation, ie trial". We also need to live our lives faithfully in avoiding temptations which arise due to our foolish decisions and actions. Verses 14-22 give practical advice in avoiding a likely problem from a foolish decision to partake of idol worship - in the belief that idols are non entities: 1 Corinthians 8 the entire chapter. The Apostle explains the dangers of rationalising in that chapter and here in chapter 10. A failure to understand these matters and to behave as God would have His children do is extremely dangerous. Paul says that it is in effect setting ourselves against God. The fellowship we enjoy with the Father and His Son is not to be entangled with the beliefs and practices of those who do not understand the teachings of the Word of God. From verses 23-30 Paul tells us that nothing in the life of the believer when it comes to eating food and drinking wine is forbidden to believers because God owns and has given these blessings to His children. However it is their responsibility to not partake of these to excess. Believers also have a responsibility to respect the conscience of their fellow disciples. The rights of faithful believers should not be exercised if the exercising of those rights would result in a loss of faith for others, and lead them away from the kingdom of God. The final two verses of the chapter tell us that, whatever we do, "Do all to the glory of God". And since we are commanded to do all to the Father's glory that glory must be chiefly moral, not just physical. Contemplate carefully the words of Habbakuk 2:14 and compare these words with Jeremiah 22 verses 15-16. A further lesson we need to learn from Paul's example and emulate is how his life demonstrates that in his life he shows us how he did all to the glory of God.

The record of 2 Kings commences with Ahaziah's injury from falling through the lattice work in his upper room. The foolish king sends his servants to ask help from the god of the dung heap, Beel-Zebul (the same idol that the foes of Jesus attributed to his healing power). Elijah was sent to rebuke the rebellious monarch and tell him that he would not recover his health. King Ahaziah sends 50 soldiers to arrest the prophet and bring him to the king. Elijah was still learning the type of mission the Almighty required of him - not the calling for fires of judgment from heaven on the troops, who were at this time his enemies. The king sent another 50 troops and these too were killed by fire. Finally when the third captain of 50 entreated Elijah to show mercy these men were spared.  2 Kings 2 tells of the LORD taking Elijah away from Israel. The story is much misunderstood, with some people believing that Elijah was literally taken to heaven. But  John 3:13 shows this is not what happened. God presents Elijah in this chapter as His vehicle of revelation - the chariot. Through Elijah's mission Yahweh's will was being done. Having seen the prophet's departure Elisha is granted a double portion of the power that had been evidenced in Elijah's miracles. Sixteen miracles are recorded as being done by Elisha in comparison to recorded for Elijah. The first of Elisha's miracles was the parting of the Jordan river. A fruitless search was undertaken by fifty prophets who requested to be allowed to search for the body of Elijah . They clearly did not believe that Elijah was in heaven. However their search did not find the prophet's body just as Israel's search for the body of Moses was likewise a vain search. But the record in Deuteronomy 34:6 clearly tells us that God had buried Moses in Moab. Another of Elisha's miracles is the healing of the poisoned food. Then follows the founding of the 'school of the prophets'. The final miracle recorded in chapter 2 is the destruction of 30 blasphemous youths at the hands of two she bears. The word in the text has been wrongly translated "children" since other occurrences of the Hebrew word describe youths up to thirty years of age.  Jeremiah 50 deals with the judgment of the LORD upon Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom of Babylon from its northern neighbours - the Medes and Persians. Verses 1-2 describe the LORD's judgments against Babylon and her gods. Verses 3-16 describe the terrors that Babylon's invaders strike into her heart as the inhabitants flee the retribution which the Almighty has brought upon this city state. Verses 17-27 tell us that the Babylonians had been an instrument of divine retribution, but had overreached their commission. These verses speak of the wide extent of our Sovereign's hand upon Babylon and the great wealth that she had extracted from the surrounding nations. Verses 28-32 tell of Yahweh's retribution and echoes of these thoughts are found in Revelation 18:1-14. Therefore Yahweh would bring the vengeance of His Temple (v28). Verses 33-38 speak of the sword of the LORD being brought against the idols of Babylon. Verses 35-43 speak of God stirring up a confederacy of Elamites, Medes and Persians against Babylon. Verses 44-46 speak of the judgment brought against the Chaldeans would come like a lion from the jungle to bring retribution on the guilty Babylonians. All of these events establish the truth that "the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whom He wills" Daniel 4 verse 17.    1 Corinthians 10 warns against idolatry. It was the root cause of the infant Jewish nation's sins as they left Egypt under Moses. Paul explains that their experiences were typical of, and in common with, those of the believers; and hence a clarion warning lest we think we stand; yet fall through pride.

Read his prophecies (which include the prophecy that Christ would be born in Bethlehem, Micah 5:2) in the Old Testament book that bears his name. He was a contemporary of the prophets Isaiah, Amos and Hosea, and is ranked sixth among the "minor" prophets. It was he who prophesied that the Christ would be born in Bethlehem. (This is a different Micah from the one mentioned in 1 Chronicles 22:8, who lived earlier). Micah was buried in his home village of Morasth in the land of Judah; his holy relics were found along with those of the prophet Habbakuk during the reign of St Theodosius the Great — their location was given by a revelation to Zebennus, Bishop of Eleutheropolis.

As we continue our Twelve series, working through the minor prophets, we reach Habbakuk. In our morning services Josh preaches on what it looks like to survive in life, to follow Jesus, when life seemingly makes no sense.

As we continue our Twelve series, working through the minor prophets, we reach Habbakuk. In our evening service Hannah looks at this back and forth between Habbakuk and God, through which we learn what it looks like to wait well.

God worked through history to bring about events that seem too good be true. Using God's words to Habbakuk as a springboard, Jeff challenges us to reflect on God's activity with a renewed sense of awe.

Will we be ready at His coming? He will expose the sins of the world, and all will be revealed. Will we be ready?

Main idea: God's lateness is not God's negligence. 1. Habakkuk's response 2. God's answer Discussion Questions 1. Habakkuk initially questions God's justice, assuming Judah is more righteous than Babylon. How does Romans 3:10–12 challenge this assumption? 2. Why is it important to bring our questions and doubts to God rather than relying solely on friends, social media, or our own reasoning? 3. What does it mean to “live by faith” as stated in Habakkuk 2:4? How is this relevant to our lives today? 4. Habakkuk chose to stand as a watchman and wait for God's response. How can we position ourselves to hear from God in seasons of waiting?

Main idea: God's sovereignty is not without God's mercy Habakkuk's reverence in humility Habakkuk's rest in the power of God Habakkuk's rejoicing in God's sovereignty  Discussion Questions: -How does focusing on God's character rather than our circumstances help reshape our response to suffering or injustice? -Are you more troubled by the sins of the world or the sins of the church—and why? -Why is it important for faith to be rooted in God's historical acts rather than our feelings or current circumstances? -What specific ways can you practice remembering God's faithfulness this week?

Palm Sunday 2025   Exodus 12:1-6 ESV   The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2 “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. 3 Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household. 4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, 6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.       Exodus 12:12-14 ESV   12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. 13 The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.       Matthew 21:1-11 ESV   Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,   5 “Say to the daughter of Zion,   ‘Behold, your king is coming to you,   humble, and mounted on a donkey,   on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.'”   6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” 10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”       Luke 19:39-40 ESV   39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”       Habbakuk 2:11, 9-10 NIV       11 The stones of the wall will cry out,       and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.       9 “Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain,   setting his nest on high   to escape the clutches of ruin!   10 You have plotted the ruin of many peoples,   shaming your own house and forfeiting your life.       Luke 19:41-44 ESV   41 And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, 42 saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side 44 and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”       2 Kings 9:13 ESV   13 Then in haste every man of them took his garment and put it under him on the bare steps, and they blew the trumpet and proclaimed, “Jehu is king.”       Psalm 118:25-26 ESV   Save us, we pray, O Lord!   O Lord, we pray, give us success!   26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!   We bless you from the house of the Lord.       1 Macabees 13:51 NRSVU   51 On the twenty-third day of the second month, in the one hundred seventy-first year, the Jews entered it with praise and palm branches, and with harps and cymbals and stringed instruments, and with hymns and songs, because a great enemy had been crushed and removed from Israel.

Rev. Dr. Larry Hayward preaches on Palm Sunday. The Scripture passages are Joshua 4:21-24, Habbakuk 2:9-11, and Luke 19:29-40.

Preacher: Amy Druck Scripture:  Habakkuk 1:5-2:1 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. I am raising up the Babylonians,     that ruthless and impetuous people, who sweep across the whole earth     to seize dwellings not their own. 7 They are a feared and dreaded people;     they are a law to themselves     and promote their own honor. 8 Their horses are swifter than leopards,     fiercer than wolves at dusk. Their cavalry gallops headlong;     their horsemen come from afar. They fly like an eagle swooping to devour; 9     they all come intent on violence. Their hordes advance like a desert wind     and gather prisoners like sand. 10 They mock kings     and scoff at rulers. They laugh at all fortified cities;     by building earthen ramps they capture them. 11 Then they sweep past like the wind and go on—     guilty people, whose own strength is their god.” Habakkuk's Second Complaint 12 Lord, are you not from everlasting?     My God, my Holy One, you will never die. You, Lord, have appointed them to execute judgment;     you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish. 13 Your eyes are too pure to look on evil;     you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous?     Why are you silent while the wicked     swallow up those more righteous than themselves? 14 You have made people like the fish in the sea,     like the sea creatures that have no ruler. 15 The wicked foe pulls all of them up with hooks,     he catches them in his net, he gathers them up in his dragnet;     and so he rejoices and is glad. 16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net     and burns incense to his dragnet, for by his net he lives in luxury     and enjoys the choicest food. 17 Is he to keep on emptying his net,     destroying nations without mercy? 2 I will stand at my watch     and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me,     and what answer I am to give to this complaint.

He prophesied in the time of Joachim, just before the Jewish people were taken into captivity in Babylon. He himself escaped captivity, and after Jerusalem was destroyed, returned to his homeland. Once he was taking some food to his harvesters when an Angel transported him to Babylon to feed the Prophet Daniel in the lions' den, then bore him back to Judea (this is told in the full version of the book of Daniel, ch. 6 LXX). The third chapter of his prophecy is used as the Fourth Ode of the Matins Canon(the Ode is usually sung in full only in monasteries during Lent, but the eirmos of the Fourth Ode, sung in many parishes, usually refers to the Prophet). His holy relics were found through a revelation in Palestine during the reign of Theodosius the Great, and a chapel built there. His name means "Father of the Resurrection."

He was a Galilean of the tribe of Simeon. The Old Testament book that bears his name foretells the destruction of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, by the Medes, and the restoration of the Kingdom of Judah; all of this came to pass. Nahum is counted as the seventh of the Minor Prophets. He reposed in peace. His name means 'consolation' or 'repose.'   Five of the Prophets (Nahum, Habbakuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, and Daniel) are commemorated in December. At one time a Feast of the Twelve Prophets was celebrated on December 4 at the Church of the Resurrection, but this feast is no longer on the calendar. The days leading up to Christ's Nativity contain many commemorations of the faithful remnant of Israel, all of whose hopes were fulfilled in the birth of the Messiah.

Preacher: Kathy Maskell Scripture: Habbakuk 1:1-4 The prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received. Habakkuk's Complaint 2 How long, Lord, must I call for help,     but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, “Violence!”     but you do not save? 3 Why do you make me look at injustice?     Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me;     there is strife, and conflict abounds. 4 Therefore the law is paralyzed,     and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous,     so that justice is perverted.

Read his prophecies (which include the prophecy that Christ would be born in Bethlehem, Micah 5:2) in the Old Testament book that bears his name. He was a contemporary of the prophets Isaiah, Amos and Hosea, and is ranked sixth among the "minor" prophets. It was he who prophesied that the Christ would be born in Bethlehem. (This is a different Micah from the one mentioned in 1 Chronicles 22:8, who lived earlier). Micah was buried in his home village of Morasth in the land of Judah; his holy relics were found along with those of the prophet Habbakuk during the reign of St Theodosius the Great — their location was given by a revelation to Zebennus, Bishop of Eleutheropolis.

It's like looking into a mirror. Sometimes we can see so much of ourselves in others. Paul looks into the crowd outside the temple and they remind him of how zealous he once was about keeping the Old Testament law. He desires that they, too, would know the salvation that is only found in Jesus.

This week we look at how misinformation and lies have become the common currency of contemporary society - especially amongst those who claim to be against misinformation!   We look at Climate Change and Vaclav Smil's 'How the World Really Works';  Scottish Railways; Olympic intolerance, lies and spin; Far Left attacks on French rail; Adam Peaty's faith; Country of the Week - Venezuela; Weirdness and the US Democrats; Did Trump announce no more elections?  Trump lies;  Google manipulation; Fired by Forbes; the death and influence of John Mayell; Israel assassinates Hamas leaders; The Guardian and Kemi Badenoch; Christian Teacher fired; a Scottish Islamic Island?;  and Habbakuk.   With music from Buffalo Springfield, JJ Cale,  Radiohead, John Mayell, Andy Stewart, Crowded House, 

Habbakuk opens his book asking God how it can be that "the evil surround the righteous - that is why Torah is weakened!" How can God allow evil and bloodshed to gain the upper hand in our world?

What does a life of faith look like? How do we deal with the difficult situations we face? Stewart examines the lie that "Living by Faith is the Easier Way to Live." This week we look through the book of Habbakuk. Scriptures for tonight are Habakkuk 2:18, 1:1-4, 1:6, 1:12-17, 2:1, 2:2-4, & 3:16-19. Other passaages are Romans 1:17, Galations 3:11, Ephesians 2:8, & Hebrews 10:38-39.
