September 15 | Week Two | Wait

Primary Scripture: Habakkuk 2:2-2:20

Cross References: Romans 1:16-17; James 4:6; Hebrews 10:37-38; Isaiah 44:9-20

Message Overview: This week will need a quick look back to verses 1:12-2:1. There is an opportunity to

discuss God’s timing in our “instant” society. Patience and anticipation in knowing God will carry out His

plans to completion. There is a solid foil here to the end times also (v.2-3). How often are we (especially

Americans) so impressed by our own abilities that we lose sight of God? God is righteous and just and will see

His plans carried to completion.

Prompting Questions: In the midst of calamity, death, and destruction, can I find comfort in knowing God

will see justice and judgement? What do we do while waiting on the Lord? How often do I trust in my own

abilities rather than rely on the Lord? Have you ever been frustrated with God’s timing? Have you ever read

something in scripture that you disagreed with? What does Habakkuk 2 teach us about the Gospel?

September 8 | Week One | Listen

Primary Scripture: Habakkuk 1:2-2:1

Cross References: Psalm 13:1, 4:1; Isaiah 55:8-9, Isaiah 10:5-6, Proverbs 3:5-6; Jeremiah 44:17

Message Overview: In chapter one, Habakkuk cried out and asked God why he allowed what He hates

without justice. The answer that follows is that God is going to use other evil people to thwart Judah.

Habakkuk was even more confused and pushed back on God, challenging His direction. Verse 2:1 shows the

confidence and faith that God would reply and that Habakkuk was ready to listen. These concepts connect

our faith to God’s ways, timing, and perfection. Habakkuk 1 sets the table for how we ought to respond when

the world doesn’t seem to make sense.

Prompting Questions: Who do we run to when trials abound? What do we do when the answer isn’t what

we wanted? How often do we marvel at the “work of our own hands?” (v.16) How do we develop deeper faith

in the midst of a sinful world? What does Habakkuk 1 teach us about the Gospel?

Main Passage: Luke 22:14-20
