- Call To Worship – [Psalm 71:1-6 ESV]
- 1 In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!
- 2 In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me!
- 3 Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
- 4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
- 5 For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth.
- 6 Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you.
- Reading – [Psalm 80:1-7 ESV]
- 1 To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Testimony. Of Asaph, a Psalm. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.
- 2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might and come to save us!
- 3 Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved!
- 4 O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?
- 5 You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in full measure.
- 6 You make us an object of contention for our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.
- 7 Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved!

- Sermon – “Not The Answer I Was Hoping For” – [Habakkuk 1:5-11 ESV]
- 5 “Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.
- 6 For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth, to seize dwellings not their own.
- 7 They are dreaded and fearsome; their justice and dignity go forth from themselves.
- 8 Their horses are swifter than leopards, more fierce than the evening wolves; their horsemen press proudly on. Their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
- 9 They all come for violence, all their faces forward. They gather captives like sand.
- 10 At kings they scoff, and at rulers they laugh. They laugh at every fortress, for they pile up earth and take it.
- 11 Then they sweep by like the wind and go on, guilty men, whose own might is their god!”
