Habakkuk: Questions, Answers, & Praise
(Sundays, Nov. 3-Dec.1 in the Fellowship Hall)
Are you wrestling with hard questions? Wondering where God is in the midst of life’s challenges? Doubting his control of our nation and the world? Join us this November for a new 5-week Bible study: "Habakkuk: Questions, Answers, & Praise." Led by Pastor Schlicht, we'll dive into the raw, honest dialogue between the prophet Habakkuk and God — a conversation filled with deep questions, divine answers, and a journey from frustration to praise. Together, we’ll see how God's love in Christ flows through this ancient book and how his faithfulness leads us to trust and worship, even when life doesn’t make sense.
