Living By Faith in a Violent Age
Living By Faith in a Violent Age
Scripture: Habakkuk 1-3
In a week marked by shocking violence and cultural dread, Pastor Zach Carter turns our eyes from the endless scroll to the ancient prophet Habakkuk. When justice felt paralyzed and violence filled the streets, Habakkuk cried, “How long, O Lord?” Zach traces the prophet’s honest lament, God’s surprising answer, and the hinge of the book: “the righteous shall live by faith” (Hab. 2:4). Moving from the city walls of Jerusalem to the hill of Calvary, he shows how God doesn’t ignore evil—He enters it in the cross of Christ and promises justice through the resurrection. This sermon calls Christians to courageous truth-telling, patient watchfulness, and defiant joy—even “though the fig tree should not blossom.” If you’re anxious, angry, or numb, this message invites you to steady your footing on the God who makes our feet like the deer.
