About the Sermon

In this message, we'll explore what it means to walk in the Spirit and how it sets us free from the desires of the flesh. We'll discover the power and freedom that come from living a Spirit-led life. Through Galatians 5:16-25, we'll learn how to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in our lives and experience true transformation.

Praise in the Pain

In the final sermon of the series, we explore how lament can lead to a stronger, more resilient faith. Habakkuk’s journey from doubt to trust provides a powerful example of how we can praise God even in our pain. We’ll offer practical ways to navigate through dark times, emphasizing that God is always present and worthy of our trust, even when He feels distant.

Still on the Throne

This message challenges us to confront the reality that God’s plans often differ from our expectations. Through Habakkuk’s story, we learn the value of patience and the importance of trusting God’s timing. Our disappointments can deepen our faith when we rely on His sovereign and loving purposes, even in difficult seasons.

Faith in the Fog

Here, we tackle the tough question of why injustice seems to go unchecked in the world. Habakkuk’s cry for justice mirrors our own concerns about the wrongs we see around us. This sermon helps us find reassurance in the fact that God sees everything and has a plan to address it all. We are encouraged to trust in God’s justice, even when it doesn’t come as quickly as we’d like.
