"Faith in Times of Crisis": A Sermon Series on Habakkuk
This four-part sermon series explores the book of Habakkuk, examining how the prophet wrestled with difficult theological questions that remain relevant today. The series follows Habakkuk's journey from complaint to praise as he grapples with God's ways in a world filled with injustice and violence.
Series Overview:
The Prophet's First Complaint - Habakkuk 1:1-11
The series begins with Habakkuk questioning God about the evil and violence pervading Judah, asking why God appears to stand idly by. God's surprising response is that He will use the Chaldeans (Babylonians) as instruments of judgment against His people.
The Prophet's Second Complaint - Habakkuk 1:12-2:5
Habakkuk then questions how God, who is too pure to look on evil, could use a nation more wicked than Judah as His instrument of judgment. God responds with the pivotal statement that "the righteous shall live by faith," emphasizing trust in God's perfect timing.
