April 05Christ the Song | Les Newsom
Scripture Reference: Zephaniah 3:14-20
There are good days and there are bad days. Zephaniah prophesies about a terrifying Day of the Lord where God will judge his people. And yet, he follows up these dire predictions with some of the most tender, borderline sentimental expressions of affection from God. How can both be true? Only in the resurrection!

The Problem
The Judgment
The Resolution

March 29Christ & the Faith | Les Newsom
Scripture Reference: Habakkuk 1:12–2:4; 3:17–19
God uses unjust nations to judge injustice, and Habakkuk waits in perplexity. The so called “Problem of Evil” is famously dragged out to justify abandonment of the God of the Bible. But what Habakkuk learn is that the “righteous shall live by faith.” And there, we find a life rooted in hope beyond circumstance.
