How do you respond when God gives you a challenging message?
This past weekend at Eastbrook Church I continued our series “Turning to God in Troubling Times” from the words of the prophet Habakkuk. We looked at Habakkuk 1:5-11, where God responds to Habakkuk’s earlier prayer with the surprising words that He is going to raise up an enemy to bring judgment on God’s people. How do we make sense of this? What is God doing? These are the sort of questions we explored as we walked through this challenging portion of Scripture.
You can view a video of the message and the accompanying outline below. You can listen to the message via our audio podcast here.
