Preparing for Sunday - Habakkuk

July 31, 2014 by David Fortner Preparing for Sunday

Is it proper to question God and his actions as Habakkuk did in the first two chapters?
Think about the injustice(s) that appalled Habakkuk?
In what ways do God’s answers to Habakkuk’s questions relate to our present-day life?
In what ways does God care about the injustices that take place in our modern society?
How do we as Christians care about the injustices that take place in our country, in our world?
How does the spirit of the first half of Habakkuk differ from the latter half?

Spend a few moments in prayer and contemplate your attitude towards God when “injustices” befall you and your loved ones.
Pray for non-Christians who will be present this Sunday to respond appropriately to God's word.
How should this book impact our congregation as a whole? Pray that God will prepare our hearts for his work of grace this Sunday as we gather.
Pray for those who will be leading our gathering to edify the body well: Dawson Bryant, music; Brandon Ferguson Congregational Prayer and Scripture Reading; Bret Capranica, teaching.
Listen to the songs we will be singing together and meditate on the message of each song. Prepare yourself to sing together with the church on the Lord's Day.
