Early believers were committed to learning Jesus' teachings and what they meant for this growing organism known as the church.

Big Idea: The Holy Spirit produces fruit in us that we are not capable of genuinely producing on our own.

Despite challenges and opposition, the church's mission is an unstoppable movement led by the Holy Spirit, calling us to embrace change, overcome our suspicions, and allow the Holy Spirit to shine through us.

The Holy Spirit empowers God's people to be witnesses of the good news of Jesus Christ, beginning in Jerusalem, then Judea, then Samaria, and finally to the ends of the earth.

“In the humbling act of Jesus washing His disciples' feet, Peter's pride is revealed.”

John 13:1-15

Most of us struggle with prayer and often feel guilty for how little we pray.  Jesus teaches us how to pray in Matt. 6:9-13.  Because of my relationship to the Father and who His character, I can trust that in Him and His answers to my prayers.

Even among suffering and loss, Habakkuk has learned that he can trust God, and that with trust comes great joy - not in the circumstances but in God himself.

God is always at work, and while his work might seem slow to us, God will fulfill his Word in his own time and ways.

The Bible says we are dead, and Jesus lifted up is our only hope!

God is answering Habakkuk's prayers through not according to the prophet's expectations.
