Injustice. Violence. Hatred. It’s enough to make anyone lose hope. And yet, thousands of years ago, someone asked God the exact same question.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the next instalment of our Habakkuk series, we explore God’s surprising response to suffering, and why it still matters today. If you’ve ever questioned where God is in the chaos, this message is for you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click to listen and discover how to hold on to faith when everything seems to be falling apart.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;

What do you do when your faith is hanging by a thread?
In the first message of our brand new series in Habakkuk, we meet a prophet bold enough to question God – and a God willing to answer.
This isn’t a tidy sermon with easy answers. It’s the beginning of a raw, honest journey through doubt, pain, and unexpected hope.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
