[1516.78 --> 1517.74] we confess |
[1517.74 --> 1519.30] that it's |
[1519.30 --> 1519.88] easy for us |
[1519.88 --> 1520.58] to give up. |
[1521.80 --> 1522.60] It's easy |
[1522.60 --> 1523.66] for us to |
[1523.66 --> 1524.44] just fall |
[1524.44 --> 1525.32] flat on |
[1525.32 --> 1525.90] our face. |
[1525.90 --> 1526.02] us. |
[1527.22 --> 1528.00] And so |
[1528.00 --> 1528.72] pick us up |
[1528.72 --> 1529.72] again and |
[1529.72 --> 1530.08] again. |
[1530.94 --> 1531.58] Restore us |
[1531.58 --> 1532.36] to yourself. |
[1533.92 --> 1534.94] Create in us, |
[1535.06 --> 1535.50] God, a |
[1535.50 --> 1536.40] clean heart. |
[1538.06 --> 1539.24] And draw us |
[1539.24 --> 1540.10] to yourself |
[1540.10 --> 1542.58] so that we |
[1542.58 --> 1545.22] can proclaim |
[1545.22 --> 1546.30] your goodness, |
[1547.26 --> 1547.92] so that we |
[1547.92 --> 1548.50] can let your |
[1548.50 --> 1549.60] light shine, |
[1550.26 --> 1550.98] and so that |
[1550.98 --> 1552.10] we can proclaim |
[1552.10 --> 1553.28] your kingdom |
[1553.28 --> 1554.78] and that you |
[1554.78 --> 1555.60] are the ruler |
[1555.60 --> 1557.60] still and |
[1557.60 --> 1558.64] that you |
[1558.64 --> 1559.40] will accomplish |
[1559.40 --> 1560.20] your purposes |
[1560.20 --> 1561.28] in our world |
[1561.28 --> 1562.26] and that |
[1562.26 --> 1562.88] nothing, |
[1563.06 --> 1563.60] absolutely |
[1563.60 --> 1564.14] nothing, |
[1564.32 --> 1565.08] no pandemic |
[1565.08 --> 1566.02] ever hinders |
[1566.02 --> 1566.82] your purposes. |
[1568.32 --> 1568.78] And so we |
[1568.78 --> 1569.60] trust in you, |
[1569.72 --> 1569.90] Father. |
[1572.02 --> 1572.80] And so may we |
[1572.80 --> 1573.78] live our lives |
[1573.78 --> 1574.94] in that kind |
[1574.94 --> 1575.90] of all-in |
[1575.90 --> 1577.32] faith that is |
[1577.32 --> 1578.12] deeply connected |
[1578.12 --> 1578.64] to you. |
[1578.76 --> 1579.44] We pray it in |
[1579.44 --> 1580.06] Jesus' name. |
[1580.98 --> 1581.26] Amen. |
[1583.28 --> 1584.28] Amen. |

[0.00 --> 8.48] Well, it is my pleasure this morning to bring you God's Word. And today we are going to be |
[8.48 --> 13.44] wrapping up sort of our current sermon series that we've been working on for the past month |
[13.44 --> 19.08] on Habakkuk. Now, I was pumped when Pastor Chris asked if I would join him in this sermon series, |
[19.12 --> 24.06] and I was even flattered that he asked that I would do the fourth and final installment |
[24.06 --> 30.52] of this series. And then I realized that while he preached the last three weeks on three chapters |
[30.52 --> 37.38] comprising 57 verses of this book of the Bible, all he left me with was three measly verses at the end. |
[38.10 --> 41.66] And I guess he already knows that I'm long-winded and he didn't want to give me too much to go off |
[41.66 --> 47.70] of. I'm kidding, of course. The real reason there's so few verses today is simply this. This is how the |
[47.70 --> 53.66] text breaks down in this book. And the three verses today not only sort of conclude the book as a whole |
[53.66 --> 59.50] and bring some finality to it, it also summarizes the past three weeks quite well, which I guess |
[59.50 --> 64.36] that makes sense. That's how conclusions work. Before we start, though, this is important. It's |
[64.36 --> 69.60] important that you all know that unlike Pastor Chris, I have no real convictions on how to pronounce |
[69.60 --> 76.82] this prophet's name. I have been saying all my life Habakkuk, and so now to pronounce it Habakkuk |
[76.82 --> 82.96] is a little bit hard for me. In fact, I may be going back and forth this entire sermon, and if I do that, |
[82.96 --> 86.04] feel free to write me lots of emails and let me know that I did just that. |
[86.86 --> 91.18] Actually, what I'll probably do is just use words like him or that prophet or that guy, |
