Yet: A Study of Habakkuk

Taught by Kris Murphy
WEDNESDAYS, 10a-12p, beginning 9/6/23

Life is a series of changes and transition. We are always approaching a season of change, in a season of change, or emerging from a season of change. In a world of constant shifting and change, the unchanging nature of God is the steady rock on which we can depend. This 8-week journey through the book of Habakkuk will remind you of God’s unwavering heart and character as you learn to share and process your honest feelings with him.

Each daily reading will walk through part of Habakkuk with supplemental Scripture, include guided questions, and allow you to reflect while sharing gratitude. Yet allows you to experience your daily life with Jesus while giving you a safe space to celebrate, mourn, cheer, and grieve.

Maybe you’ve felt friendless, directionless, or hopeless. Or perhaps you’ve wondered if you even have a part to play in God’s big story.

It’s a story of layers; it’s a story of anticipation. We’ll encounter a tapestry of relatable ruin such as: loss, abandonment, bitterness, grief, risk, and suffering. But we also experience the beautiful redemption story of newness, protection, mercy, and hope restored.
