This sermon:

Our Confidence is in God

The best confidence that we can have is to have confidence in God; but why? Because God knows all, he is all powerful, and he knows each one of us intimately – the good, the bad and the ugly. Yet his love for each one of us is truly amazing, in spite of whatever we have done. But first, we need to believe him, trust him, and invite him in. Helen reveals this little obscure book of the Bible, Habakkuk, that many have never even read. It has only three chapters in just a few pages, which are towards the end of the Old Testament in the Bible, yet it is still very relevant today. Little is known about the man Habakkuk, apart from him being a profit of old. His name doesn’t even appear anywhere else in the Bible. But Habakkuk declares his faith in God, something that is common in the New Testament but rarely referred to directly in the Old Testament. In spite of his problems surrounding him, Habakkuk ends his book by writing “I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.” Habakkuk 3:18-19
