Yet still I will rejoice

We started this series with Habakkuk crying out: how long, Lord? Why won't you do anything? We end it with a song. In this final message of the Living by Faith series, Jai takes us through Habakkuk's closing - three movements that trace the whole journey. Habakkuk remembers who God is and what he has done. He trembles before a God so enormous. And then, knowing exactly what is coming, he rejoices. Not because things are going to be okay in the short term. Because the God behind everything is bigger than the questions. Three letters. One word. Yet. Closing out the Living by Faith series through the book of Habakkuk.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Why do bad things happen to good people? It's the oldest question in the book. But Tim argues there's a more urgent version of it, the one a generation with near-constant exposure to war and violence is actually asking: why don't bad things happen to bad people? In this message from Habakkuk 2:2–20, Tim unpacks God's answer to Habakkuk's complaint. Five woes. One overarching verdict: justice is coming, and the punishment will fit the crime. And what does faith look like while you're waiting? According to Habakkuk, and the saints in Revelation, it looks like singing. Part of the Living by Faith series through the book of Habakkuk.

Trust Him even when you don't understand

When Stu was learning to hunt with his friend Kyle, he had to do something hard — sit quietly and trust someone who knew what they were doing, even when he didn't understand what was happening or why. Stu unpacks Habakkuk 1:12–2:1, his next round of complaint to God. How can a holy God use an evil nation like Babylon to bring justice? God doesn't give Habakkuk a neat answer. He gives him something harder: faith. And Stu traces that same pattern all the way to the cross, where the worst evil in human history became the means of the world's salvation. Part of the Living by Faith series through the book of Habakkuk.

When God's answer unsettles you

Have you ever prayed a prayer so many times you've lost count? Or felt like God's answer, when it finally came, made things worse not better? That's exactly where Habakkuk is in chapter one. In this message from Habakkuk 1:1–11, Jai unpacks the prophet's raw, unfiltered cry to God — and God's astonishing, unsettling response. The invitation is to bring your real prayers to God, messy and unpolished. Because God hears the rehearsal, not just the finished version. And when he answers, he works on a canvas far bigger than anything we can see. Part of the Living by Faith series through the book of Habakkuk.

How long, O Lord?

Most of us have prayed prayers that felt like they went nowhere. Shouted into silence. Kept doing the right thing while quietly wondering whether God was actually listening. That's not a modern problem, it's what Habakkuk is doing from the opening lines of his book. In this introduction to our new series Living by Faith, Tim Anderson sets the stage for one of the most honest, human books in the Bible. A nation in moral collapse. Empires rising and falling around them. And a prophet who refuses to pretend everything is fine, and takes his confusion straight to God. The question Habakkuk asks is one believers have asked in every generation: how long, Lord? Kicking off the Living by Faith series through the book of Habakkuk.

Generosity is about who you are in Christ

When you're generous, with your money, your time, your energy, what runs through your head first? If you're honest, it's probably not as pure as you'd like. In this message from Luke 18, Jai unpacks why that is, and why the fix isn't about trying harder. Generosity isn't fundamentally about money or time or energy. It's a spiritual identity. It flows from understanding how much grace and mercy has already been poured out on you in Christ. When you grasp that, giving stops being an obligation and starts being a natural overflow.. And it only flows from one place: understanding how much you've already been given in Christ. A standalone message between our Nahum and Habakkuk series.

Sin is more serious than you think...

Nahum 3 is not comfortable reading. It's violent, confronting, and hard to place. But Brayden says that's exactly why we need it, because without passages like this, our faith gets thin, and our understanding of sin stays small. In this final message in the Storming the City series, Brayden unpacks what Nineveh's fall actually teaches us about God: that he is not indifferent to evil, that sin is more serious and more embedded than we want to admit, and that the only place to stand when judgment comes is in Christ. Closing out the Storming the City series on the book of Nahum.

Where are you building your treasure?

Stu opens with Jesus' words: "Do not store up treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy, but store up for yourselves treasure in heaven." Where are you building your treasure? Do you find yourself caught by this world's sparkly things—career, success, money? The reality is one day someone else will be living in your house, driving your car, spending your savings. He shares a story about David Stonestreet who jokingly said, "You just stole my treasure!" when Stu encouraged him. David referenced Matthew 6—if you get the encouragement of men on earth, you've had your payment in full. That conversation has oriented Stu's life for years. Stu describes two kinds of heavenly treasure: wealth you enjoy now (people surrounding you at church, recent acquisitions) and "Kingdom superannuation" (people you won't see again until heaven—like his friend Fiona who'll come running saying "We did it!"). When you invest in another person's life, you are building treasure in heaven. Nahum 1:15 says, "Look there on the mountains, the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace." Beautiful feet run because they're excited the enemy has been defeated. The big enemy, death, has been defeated. God has defeated our enemy. So get busy building treasure in heaven. Nahum 2 describes Nineveh's siege. God mocks them: "Guard the fortress, brace yourselves. Have a go, get all your troops out because I'm coming." The invaders are invaded. Ancient records say the rivers they built as protective barriers flooded and undermined their own gates. Their silver, gold, endless supplies—plundered. Like the man in Jesus' parable who built bigger barns: "You fool, tonight your life will end." We are our treasure. Don't go to heaven by yourself. See if some other people will come with you. Some of our dearest treasure started as strangers. The gospel is the greatest announcement of peace. Sin judged at the cross. Death defeated in the resurrection.
