Bible Text: Habakkuk 2:2-4; 18-20; 3:1-16 |

Introduction: Chapter 1: Habakkuk’s problem Chapter 2: God’s answer Chapter 3: Habakkuk’s praise Outline: Learn to live by faith, 2:2-4 Faith is a trust in a God that is Sovereign Faith is a trust in a God that can Supply Learn to fear

Bible Text: Deuteronomy 20 |

Deuteronomy 20 Excerpts from a sermon by C.H. Spurgeon preached in 1870: “And then, my brethren, if fear finds food within, it also very readily finds food without. Sometimes it is poverty, sometimes sickness, sometimes the recollection of the past, and quite as often dread of the future. Even those who have faith in God may occasionally be weak enough to fear and be dismayed about common circumstances to which they ought to be indifferent, or over which they ought by faith to exult. Desponding people can find reason for fear where no fear is.” I. The causes of fear Outward circumstances Inward

He that acknowledges a creation and denies a providence involves himself in a palpable contradiction; for the same power which caused a thing to exist is necessary to continue its existence. God directs his creation to fulfill His will Ideas in scripture God controls the whole earth - Acts 17:22 God's providence
