Habakkuk - An Honest Complaint

Habakkuk 1:1-11

This week we begin a new preaching series in the Book of Habakkuk. A prophet from Judah in the time leading up to the Babylonian captivity, Habakkuk asks important questions of God about how to reconcile the violence and injustice he sees around him with God's character. In the end he comes to a place of resolute trust in the Lord, even when the world seems to have gone mad. In this week's passage Habakkuk makes his complaint to God, only to receive an unexpected and troubling response.
