Our series through the book of Habakkuk walks us through a familiar scenario. The people of God are not only surrounded by wickedness, they’re embracing wicked behavior (sacrificing babies to false gods). We find a prophet calling out to God and asking if He cares or sees. Habakkuk can’t believe God would watch this without judgment.

Habakkuk asks God:

Where are You?

Do You see all this wickedness?

How long will we wait for justice?

God responds:

I am doing more than you would believe.

I’m raising up Babylon to judge Judah.

In our week one message, Pastor Marc wrestles with this tension. Watch below.

Hearing this Habakkuk is angered and perplexed. He begins to question God. Isn’t it encouraging to see that we aren’t alone in our struggle to understand God. Habakkuk moves from “God do something!” to “God don’t do it that way!” How quick we are to tell God how and what we think He should do.

Habakkuk says to God:

We are bad, but Babylon is worse.

How could you use them to judge us?

How long will you allow them to judge us and harm others?

In week 2 Pastor Marc focuses on 3 common responses to God’s judgment. Watch below:
