When You See Darkness... Back in the day, when we had Bibles that had paper pages, it was not difficult to see the personal Bible of fellow Christians. What I mean by that is that if you were to take a person’s Bible and hold it up, it would be easy to see what their personal canon was, that is the books…

Habakkuk’s Complaint Lsat week, we looked at the first part of Habakkuk, where he stated his complain to God, and his complaint was that all around him, he saw people doing evil.

Intro: Questions! We all have them! Much of the time we value them because we were created with a desire to know. If you have a 2 or 3 year old all the questions can be annoying.

12 Are you not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord , you have ordained them as a judgment, and you, O Rock, have established them for reproof. 13 You who are of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong, why do you idly look at traitors and remain silent…

Palm Sunday Foretold by the Prophets 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 22 The stone which the builders rejected…

Where do we start? 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever. What do we tend to fear? The unknown…

We know that we should choose Faith rather than Fear. But what is Faith, and why does it matter. Let's take a look.

What do we do as believers when things happen in our life, things outside of our control, and we look at those things and we say, “God, this doesn’t make any sense”? How do we respond? Or maybe we say it this way, “God, I sure would have done things differently if it were up to me.” (Side note- aren’t…

Introduction The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw. O Lord , how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save? Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise.…

Next to Jesus Christ there was no man that made a greater impact on the word besides the apostle Paul. He wrote most of the New Testament, he established the first churches in the Roman Empire. He was a great man of God. Tonight we're going to get an insight into this man's life, what it takes to make…

What happens when I don’t like the answer God gives? We all hit points in life when we would rather be the ones making the rules, and Gods calls us back to remember that he is in control—even when it doesn’t feel that way.
