Can God be good when life is not?
When life hits hard, it plunges us into a sea of questions we hoped we’d never have to ask. But when you feel broken, abandoned, and struggling to find answers, there’s a beacon in the storm. A message series focusing on the Biblical book of Habakkuk, Hug It Out shows us how we can cling to God even when our circumstances are overwhelming because He will carry us through the storm.

01. VISION GIVES PAIN A PURPOSE
HABAKKUK 2:2 (The Message) And then God answered: “Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run.”
02. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE TIMING
HABAKKUK 2:3 (The Message) This vision-message is a witness pointing to what’s coming. It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait! And it doesn’t lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It’s on its way. It will come right on time.
QUOTE:If it’s not God’s time, you can’t force it. When it’s God’s time, you can’t stop it!
03. LIVE BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT
HABAKKUK 2:4 (The Message) “Look at that man, bloated by self-importance—full of himself but soul-empty. But the person in right standing before God through loyal and steady believing is fully alive, really alive.
