    Habakkuk (along with Job and Gideon) struggled with the question of why God allows His people to suffer. God answered Habakkuk, the subject of this sermon.

Chuck Sligh January 17, 2010 TEXT: Turn to Habakkuk 1 (the fifth to the last book in the Old Testament) INTRODUCTION Illus. – There was a couple in the church I pastored in Wiesbaden, Germany.

    The Prophet Habakkuk looked around and saw a world filled with violence, destruction, toleration of wickedness, injustice, strife and conflict. Where was God? Ever look at your world and wonder the same thing? Listen to the Lord's answer!

    Violence, injustice, toleration of wrong, destruction, strife, conflict. Those are the words that the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk used to describe the world around him. It was about 600 BC and Habakkuk saw people who were mistreating and taking advantage of one another, people who thought that ...read more

    A Call For Justice

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 17, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,222 views

    Be careful what you ask for when you make a complaint to God. Sometimes God delays bringing justice to the world because the price is so high. Sometimes justice is brought about by unjust people. Be prepared to let God decide when's the right time to act.

    The cry for justice is a common occurrence in our world isn't it? Injustice takes place at all sorts of levels and we wonder, why does God allow it? It's like what we saw in Psalm 73 a few weeks ago. Why do the wicked prosper? Why do the powerful get away with taking advantage of the weak and ...read more

    Faith Sighing Series

    Contributed by David Scudder on May 6, 2012
     | 7,985 views

    Habakkuk does not deliver a message as much as he solves a problem. In chapter one we hear a sob, but chapter three ends with a song. Habakkuk's struggled with the same kind of problems we deal with today. Why doesn't God punish the wickedness we see ever

    Purpose: To assure believers that God will ultimately use the wicked for our good and His glory. Aim: I want the listener to hate their own sin and pray for revival in our country. INTRODUCTION: The book of Habakkuk is unique. This prophet does not speak to his own people or to a foreign nation, ...read more

    When God Seems Silent

    Ever felt like when you were going through a tough time, that God seemed silent or distant? It is at that time that God does His most beneficial work in us. Teach from the prophet Habakuk the lessons of trusting the Lord during tough times.

    When God is silent Habakkuk 1:1-1:10 Introduction- Turn with me to Habakkuk 1:1-1:10. Habakkuk is located in the Old Testament between Nahum and Zephaniah. Habakkuk is not easily found and not preached from often. Habakkuk was a minor prophet and little is known about him. We do know that he ...read more

    Even as we sigh over the evening news, and wonder when the time will come, the wars and earthquakes and floods do call us back to alertness, even if most of our neighbors are deaf to the alarms.

    A wonderful little song came out in the 60's, I think the Kingston Trio sang it... It’s called The Merry Minuet. They're rioting in Africa, they're starving in Spain There's hurricanes in Florida, and Texas needs rain. The whole world is festering with unhappy ...read more

    God’s gift is enough for us. We just have to apply that mustard-seed faith we are given and trust that God will give us what we need.

    Twenty-seventh Sunday in Course 2022 Today’s Gospel might whipsaw our brains a little, particularly if you read the whole chapter. Right before this passage, Jesus has been warning His disciples, and therefore us, against teaching others to sin. That’s called scandal. Here He speaks about the ...read more

    How long, Lord.

    WATCHING IN PRAYER. Habakkuk 1:1-4, Habakkuk 2:1-4. This is the oracle or “burden” which Habakkuk the prophet did “see” (Habakkuk 1:1).

    There are only two possible ways you can approach God - with belief or unbelief. You either believe God, or you don’t believe him. You either put faith in Christ, or you don’t put faith in Christ. You only come to Him by faith in Jesus Christ, or you don’t come to Him at all.

    As most of you know, an eighteen-year-old young man took twenty-one lives at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX, on Tuesday. Nineteen of these lives were elementary-aged children. This is the deadliest school shooting in Texas history and it’s incomprehensible to me that we have such a category. ...read more

    How does God judge groups, towns, cities and nations?

    Last week we heard about The Minor Old Testament Prophet Habakkuk, minor because the book that bears his name is short, only 3 chapters long as opposed to The Major Old Testament Prophet Isaiah whose book is 66 chapters. Habakkuk differs markedly from the other prophetic books. Whereas most of the ...read more

    The unjust judge is only a problem if we confuse God and man, and put our trust in the one instead of the other.

    Have you ever felt that God just wasn’t listening? Silent, uncaring, even absent? Perhaps you have a problem, a need, a pain, a burning question; you bring it before God, and - nothing happens. You remember what Jesus said about persisting in prayer, so you go on battering at the heavenly gates - ...read more
