From this Past Sunday
Habakkuk: A Banned Book
Sunday, August 18, 2019
Sermon:Habakkuk: A Banned Book
Our Scripture focus was Habakkuk 1-2
Our takeaways were to:
- Read Week 34 of Coast to Coast readings.
- CONNECT with the emotionally raw prayers of the prophet Habakkuk.
- DISCOVER God’s promise of deliverance from injustice.
- SERVE victims of injustice with the compassion of God.
- Pray: God help me to rely on you so that I can rejoice in you at all times.
“Habakkuk reminds believers centuries later how important it is to keep on believing in a God that will bring deliverance. This unflinching belief in God’s ability to make an end to violence is precisely the reason why the book Habakkuk was banned in Nazi Germany -- the idea that God will end unjust power was considered too dangerous to be tolerated.” Juliana Claassens Professor of Old Testament at University of Stellenbosch, South Africa

Our theme verse is Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. |
Please remember those that are home bound in prayer
