A mysterious prophet named Habakkuk lived during tumultuous times. His country was in chaos. He was surrounded by enemies. No one seemed to take God seriously any more. So he asks God some intense questions, questions we still ask today in our own tumultuous times.
Week 1: Good Questions, Habakkuk 1:1-4, Sunday, August 17, 2025
The prophet, Habakkuk, was a good man who had some serious questions about his good God, who, at the moment, did not seem very good. Do such questions help us? Do they matter to God?

Lawyers are told never to ask a witness a question publicly, if they do not already know the answer. Habakkuk did not follow that advice. God gives an answer that changed the prophet’s world view. What does this response teach us about our own world view?
