The main question Habakkuk is asking God is one we ask of God, “You cannot tolerate wrong, but yet it seems like you are. Why? How is this okay?” This message helps us understand what God is doing when we disagree with His actions or perceive His inaction. 

This week's main passage is Habakkuk 1:12-2:5 (CSB).

We often wonder where God is in our pain and disappointment. Does he care? Could he stop it? Did he cause it? Habakkuk shows us what God does in our pain and disappointment. He embraces us. 

This week's main passage is Habakkuk 1:1-11 (CSB).

Malachi ends by looking towards the day of the Lord. We live every day in the hope that one day all wrongs will be righted, and that is where our hope for not only our year but also our lives resides. 

This week's main passage is Malachi 4:1-6 (NIV)

As we think through our priorities and where we hope our year ends up, we need to ask prayerfully, “Am I working for or against God?” 

This week's main passage is Malachi 3:13-18 (NIV)

Money goes a long way to determining our happiness and contentment in life. As we think about starting the year right, it makes sense to start it right financially. 

This week's main passage is Malachi 3:6-12 (CSB)

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor

We start the year off with high hopes, only to hit a roadblock —a challenge, a difficulty. That difficulty can either propel us into the future or hold us back.

This week's main text is Malachi 2:17-3:5

Who you choose to marry is the most important human decision you will make. It determines where your life ends up more than any other decision, outside of following Jesus.

It has been said that “our lives reflect the 5 people we spend the most time with.” So, as we start the new year, we have to ask, “Who do we spend the most time with? Are they the right people to influence us? Do we want our lives to end up where their lives have ended up?”

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor

Our priorities in life determine where our lives end up. If you want to know what your priorities are, simply look at your bank account and your calendar. No matter what we say our priorities are, those two things show us in black and white what they really are. As we start the new year, we need to ask: Are our priorities in the right spot? Did we end 2025 as intended? But on a deeper level, we need to ask where our priorities come from. They come from a place of seeking love and acceptance.

For many of us, hope is hard to come by. Our world feels hopeless, whether in politics, finances, relationships, or health. Yet, Advent helps us to hope when life feels hopeless.
