Harvest Church of Minden

Habakkuk's second complaint asks why the Lord does not intervene; and the Lord's response is to wait. Our hope and trust must be rooted in the Sovereign Lord

Beginning the book of Habakkuk, we discuss the history and the purpose behind his complaint compared to our own complaining and grumbling. Many times we have our interests in mind. Habakkuk has God's.

Resurrection Sunday, we celebrate the empty tomb by looking at John 20 and how Jesus meets the disciples in their grief, fear and doubt to give them comfort, strength and truth. We apply this to our own walks as we look at our struggles to see where Jesus meets us. 

Today we look at the importance of a palm tree and why they would be waving those branches for when Jesus entered Jerusalem. When you understand its importance, you can compare the palm tree to a Christian to see how they are similar.

Continuing the description of the battle against Nineveh we see that God is sovereign and that any nation who wishes to create idols and oppress people will be judged. Our response to Him being King, should be humble repentance

Chapter 2 in Nahum describes the destruction of Nineveh to show us that no one is too big to fail. What we rely on in life that is worldly fails to compare to the power of God. And that he will restore his people.

Today we begin a series on some minor prophets by looking at Nahum. Today's focus is the character of God displayed by Nahum to the Assyrians and the those in Judah. 

Today we finish up the series on rest and discuss the importance of perseverance in our life to strive to enter the rest of God. Looking in the book of Hebrews we see a lot of warnings to cause us to pause and examine ourselves as we pursue the goal

Still looking through the gospel of Mark, we see the command of rest that Jesus gives to the disciples after they return from serving. But as so often happens life gets in the way. How can we pursue rest amid a hectic lifestyle?

Look at how Jesus commands the earth, we should look at the commands he gives us in our life when it comes to our walks. Instead of worry and fear, we need to be still in Him.
