Pastor Steve Heron preaches from Habakkuk 1:12-2:1.

Habakkuk has heard some hard news. The violence and wickedness of his people will be addressed, but in a way that causes Habakkuk even more consternation. Habakkuk continues his quest for understanding, asking how and why God chooses to judge evil, with even worse evil. Isn't God holy? Has he forgotten his promise? How do we still trust God in times when the wicked cause such suffering without any reproof from heaven? Habakkuk shows us that our faith has to go deeper than what we know, into a true encounter with the living God.

Ben Miller preaches from Habakkuk 1:5-11.

After accusing God of being totally absent, God responds and essentially says, “I’m up to something and if I told you it would blow your mind.” In our passage this week, as God draws back the curtain on exactly what He is up to, our minds are blown indeed. Now, along with Habakkuk, we’re forced to reckon with the fact that God does not operate on our terms. He acts according to the counsel of His will, not ours, which upsets our equilibrium. This is the tension Habakkuk steps into this week, and one that we’re all invited into along with him.

Pastor Steve Heron begins our new series in Habakkuk and preaches from Habakkuk 1:1-5.

What happens when what we see gets the best of us? What happens when our prayers aren't answered? When evil is winning, and God is nowhere to be found? The book of Habakkuk introduces us to a prophet who struggles to understand God. Set during the time of Judah's impending exile, Habakkuk wrestles with finding God in a time where wickedness and injustice are the rule of law. Rather than turning to bitterness and unbelief, Habakkuk processes his experience with God and finds that God is up to more than he could possibly imagine.

Britt Stokes preaches from Hebrews 13:15-16.

This letter to the Hebrews is one large exhortation about the sufficiency and excellency of Christ. In the closing chapter of the book, we find various encouragements about how to effectively navigate the kingdom of God, in light of Christ’s person and work. Those who claim the name of Christ are to be principled in their actions. Accordingly, Christians make the earthly pilgrimage, through Christ, in terms of praise, doing good, and sharing what we have.

Pastor Steve Heron preaches from Philippians 4:21-23.

As Paul closes his letter to the Philippians, his warmth continues to overflow. He greets each Christian in the church at Philippi and reminds us of the progress of the gospel message that has shaped his life. Finally, Paul closes his letter with the strength that is available for every church that strives to live faithfully to the truth they have received: The grace of God.

Pastor AJ Rankin preaches from Philippians 4:10-20.

As we approach the end of the letter, Paul expresses gratitude for the Philippians' gospel partnership and financial gift. But in doing so, he reveals something remarkable—he has learned the secret of how to be equally satisfied whether he has everything or nothing. Paul reveals that true contentment isn't found in favorable circumstances but in Christ's strengthening presence. His discovery will help shape how we think about strength, generosity, and God's provision.

Pastor Steve Heron preaches from Philippians 4:2-9.

Paul pens the final chapter of his letter, weaving together and applying themes we've seen before. In three brief exhortations, Paul shows us that our personal relationships, our prayer life, and our thought life are key barometers to watch when we consider how "Rejoicing in the Lord" applies to us

Ben Miller preaches on Philippians 3:17-4:1.

As Paul has concluded his inner subjective experience, he now turns his attention back to the Philippians specifically. What does it look like to ‘hold the line’ as we saw Paul exhort them last week? How do we recognize those who are “mature” and are “straining toward the goal?” Better yet, how do we know we can trust what Paul is saying? This passage takes us to the heart of these questions.
