The perfect Savior for imperfect people
No sort of stumbling block, no amount of sin, no kind of scandal, and no type of suffering can sidetrack God’s salvation purposes in the Savior.
Let Frustration Fuel Prayer
What do you do when problems, people, or pitfalls get under your skin? We should be led to pray. Frustrations fuel prayer and prayer diffuses frustrations. Our most bitter moments in life can lead to some of our sweetest moments in prayer.
Doubts & Dialogue Sermon Soundbites
We’re excited to share three devotionals on Habakkuk that will help us continue to learn from this book that’s small in package but potent in power.
Faith When You Feel Forgotten
Jesus takes the total abandonment of God in a way that is beyond human comprehension so that we can experience a love that is beyond human comprehension.
Know Thy God
In our life, there will be suffering. There will be injustice. There will be pain. Our life is fundamentally seasonal at its core. There are times when the sun is shining in our world, and there are times when it’s so foggy, cold and nasty that we believe that’s indicative of who God is. But how does Habakkuk change? How does he go from staring suffering in the face to having a song on his lips? He knows his God.
Faith in a Good and Just God
If someone you knew was unjustly arrested, how would you feel? If someone you know was prosecuted for a crime that they didn’t commit, how would you respond? If a child in your family was secretly taken advantage of, what would you do? I can answer for you. You’d do something. You’d want justice.
Where Are You, God?
Doubt is something that we consider to be the extinguisher of faith, but it doesn’t have to be. It can be the very thing that enhances it. So why does doubt scare us? It scares us because we see it as being a paved pathway to full-out disbelief, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s actually the best pathway to honest dialogue.
He Is Worthy
Lord Jesus, we thank you that you purchased us with your blood. Help us to be those who remember that because you are the lamb who was slain for all of our wrongs that you deserve all of our worship. In Christ’s name. Amen.
Confessing to a Compassionate God
Father, we are those that can be bold in sinning but shy in confessing. Help us to remember that you are more gracious than we are grimy, more merciful than we are messy and more compassionate than we are conniving.
