Habakkuk 1:1-13 "Where are you God?"



Can God be good when life is not?

When life hits hard, it plunges us into a sea of questions we hoped we'd never have to ask. But when you feel broken, abandoned, and struggling to find answers, there's a beacon in the storm. The next three weeks will be series focusing on the book of Habakkuk, showing how we can cling to God even when our circumstances are overwhelming because He will carry us through the storm.

Jeremiah 29:1-7 "Seek the Peace & Prosperity of the City"



In this message we’ll look at God’s instructions to the Israelites as they headed to Babylon in exile. God did not want them to only focus on getting back to Jerusalem, but to have an impact where they were. He directed them to seek both the peace and prosperity of this land which was not their own. In the same way, God uses Christians to bless the lands they live in as well as those places where the Gospel is growing and preparing for a future impact.

Isaiah 43:18-19 "One Thing"



There are times in life when we don't see how we're going to get through the present challenge or sense of being 'stuck'. In this message we'll look at four questions that will help us to discover God's new thing for our lives. 1. What one thing do you desire from God? 2. What one thing do you lack to move forward? 3. What one thing do you need to let go of? 4. What one promise from God do you need to claim? Forget the former things, God is doing a new thing!

John 8:1-11, Luke 7:36-50, Luke 1:26-28 "Seeing Humanity"



In this message, we’ll learn how Jesus saw the individual and not just the problem. When Christ looks at our lives he sees both our hurt and what is needed for restoration. We’re never ‘just a number’. We are each like the one lost sheep that the Shephard leaves the rest of the flock to find. Jesus confronts the religious leaders because they fail to have eyes that see the humanity of each and every person. Only when we see the person can we be part of the solution.
