The Old Testament book of Zephaniah confronts us with the reality of God’s judgment, a sobering reminder that sin has consequences. Yet in facing this truth, Pastor Brett Meador notes how we’re also pointed toward hope. Gaining an understanding of the seriousness of God’s justice in Today’s Word is what prepares our hearts to receive His mercy and rejoice in His salvation.

The prophet Zephaniah told of the bad news first remarking how mankind will receive the just penalty for their rebellion against the Lord. But as Pastor Brett Meador says that just makes the good news of the Gospel all that more important. In a study of the book of Zephaniah in Today’s Word, we’ll learn of the certainty of God’s judgement, alongside His grace in our redemption.

Habakkuk saw evil running rampant and scary situations all around him, so he turned to God for help in understanding what was happening. As we watch and wait for answers with him in Today’s Word, Pastor Brett Meador says we’re assured that God has a perfect plan to deal with wicked people and desperate situations, and we can praise Him regardless of our current circumstances.

The book of Habakkuk takes us from troubled questions to anchored faith. The prophet cried out over the violence and injustice before him, then waited to hear God’s answer. Pastor Brett Meador says what follows is a powerful lesson in faith from Today’s Word. God answered in ways Habakkuk did not expect teaching him, and us, to learn to wait, listen, and to live by faith.

Surrounded by wickedness and facing an enemy invasion, the prophet Habakkuk was distressed and approached God to gain clarity. As God showed Habakkuk the vision, it unlocked a bigger picture of how God deals with the unrighteous, saves the just, and works all things together, even in troubling times. That's today, in a verse-by-verse account of Today's Word.

Is there one deed more important than another that gets you into heaven? Pastor Brett Meador has the answer by turning to the book of Habakkuk, pointing us to the truth that salvation is found not in our works, but in trusting the work of the Lord - a reminder from Today’s Word calling us to rest our salvation fully in Him, not on any religious practice or human effort.

“The just shall live by faith” is a little verse tucked away in Habakkuk 2:4 and emphasized in the New Testament that packs a powerful theological punch. As Pastor Brett Meador examines this passage, he’ll discern what it means to be saved through faith and not subject to a mere works-based religion - an important truth from Today’s Word for a believer’s reliance on God.

Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation, Jesus commanded His church just before His ascension.

Pastor Brett Meador begins by reminding us of Habakkuk’s vision for preachers . . . in Today’s Word.
