Über diesen Titel

 How do we find faith to pray with confidence in troubled times? Pastor Steve shares from Habakkuk. The prophet was writing in a time when Israel had been reduced to two tribes - Judah and Benjamin (collectively known as "Judah" for short). Judah wasn't wholeheartedly following the Lord, and was about to be threatened with invasion and deportation from the great regional power of the day - Babylon. Habakkuk complains to God about His apparent lack of intervention to address unrighteousness in Judah. When God tells the prophet that He has a plan - bringing judgement on Judah through the Babylonians - this creates further questions for Habakkuk. How can God use the ungodly to bring judgement? We see how God meets Habakkuk in his confusion and complaint, bringing him on a journey through turmoil to greater trust, culminating in worship and one of Scripture's most powerful professional of faith. Habakkuk saw the problems with his nation - today, through social media, we can see the affairs of the whole world. Like the prophet, we can respond with honest lament about what we see, allow the Lord to lead us on a journey of greater understanding into some of His ways, whilst ultimately trusting in His sovereignty for what we don't understand. God has both the present and future in His hands. Pastor Steve encourages us to find verses in Habakkuk to add to those we considered last week (see below), to give us confidence, faith, and focus as we we bring our own troubles to God through intercession. to allow Him to expand our vision of Him, and to be open to new and ever more powerful encounters in His presence.Verses from last week:i) Pray for our young people their peers, and young people in the nation with Psalm 8 v2. and Matthew 28 verses 14-16 Acts 14 verse 17.ii) Pray for our institutions - national and local government, various tiers of education, and wider society with Isaiah 45 verse 8.iii) Pray for yourself - let us be people consecrated to the Lord and ready to play our part of this new phase of His kingdom building. Pray with Joshua 3 verse 5,James 4 verse 8 and the Wesley covenant prayerWe welcome you to Bridge Community Church, Leeds!We invite you to join our online community!Like us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsFacebookJoin our Facebook Group: http://bit.ly/BCCOnlineCommunityGroupFollow us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsInstagramFollow us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsTwitterVisit our Website: https://www.bccleeds.org/If you would like to give to further our work.
