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.

Come Home

This powerful story reveals the heart of our Heavenly Father, who welcomes us back with grace, no matter how far we’ve strayed. Whether we see ourselves as the rebellious son or the resentful brother, the invitation is the same: come home to God’s love.

It’s Not the Seed—It’s the Soil

The problem isn’t with God’s Word—it’s with how we receive it. Jesus starts His story series by telling us the condition of your heart will determine the fruit of your life.
