About the Sermon

In this opening sermon, we address the difficult reality of feeling like God is silent during our struggles. By looking at Habakkuk’s honest questions and doubts, we learn how to express our own frustrations to God without losing our faith. We’ll discover that God’s silence doesn’t mean He’s absent and that there is meaning to be found even in the quiet, lonely seasons.
