In Habakkuk chapter 2, a 5-part song portrays the sin of Babylon. Even though specific sins are mentioned, they all culminate with a summary description of sin as idolatry. While many think this ancient sinful practice is irrelevant today, the culture displays the exact opposite conclusion. Join us for a sermon on Habakkuk 2.9-19.

The Prophet Habakkuk wrote a taunt song to memorialize the awful nature of sin that Judah was about to experience in the forthcoming Babylonian nightmare. His first emphasis is sin as pride, which launched into a 5-part taunt song. Join Pastor Jared as he explains the nature of pride and extortion in this weeks’ sermon in Habakkuk 2.4-8.

When people suffer doubts about God can flourish. We often wrestle with injustice and the problem of evil…and Habakkuk did too. Nevertheless, the prophet peppers his questions and doubts with real answers concerning the character of God!

How should we respond to God when it seems like He is silent? What can we do when it feels like He idly looks at injustice? Habakkuk did some things right and some things wrong. This book offers us a guide for trusting God is in control when everything around us suggests that He is not.

James concludes his hard hitting letter with 3 aspects of authentic faith that seem to influence everything for Christians: patience, prayer, and purpose. Join us as Pastor Jared concludes

TBC’s sermon series on James and authentic faith.

After James finished his 3 major sections regarding authentic faith, which is quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, James now brings us back to where he started. In a fallen world, Christians will need patience. Join TBC as we slowly finish our sermon series on the book of James.

In James chapter 4, we read the beginning of Jame’s last major section in his letter, namely, authentic faith is slow to anger. What better aspect regarding anger than discussing conflicts? As much as we want to point the finger and blame others for our anger, James will not allow the authentic Christian that easy of an escape. The truth is tough and the heart is our target. Join Pastor Jared as he talks about anger.

There are peace keepers and peacemakers. The difference between those two types of people might not seem great at first glance, but upon further investigation, they are miles apart. Join Pastor Jared as he finishes James chapter 3 on authentic faith that is slow to speak.

Summary: Authentic Faith for Christians means not only being quick to hear, but also, slow to speak. James 3.1-12 says more about our words as Christians than any other place in the New Testament. Join Pastor Jared as he talks about this vital topic, our war on words, and how we can overcome through the Word who became flesh for us.
