- Opening Prayer
- Call To Worship – [Psalm 86:1-7 ESV]
- 1 A Prayer of David. Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
- 2 Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you – you are my God.
- 3 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day.
- 4 Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
- 5 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
- 6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace.
- 7 In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me.
- Reading – [Psalm 42:5-11 ESV]
- 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation
- 6 and my God. My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
- 7 Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.
- 8 By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
- 9 I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
- 10 As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”
- 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

- Sermon – “LORD, I Just Don’t Understand” – [Habakkuk 1:12-17 ESV]
- 12 Are you not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, you have ordained them as a judgment, and you, O Rock, have established them for reproof.
- 13 You who are of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong, why do you idly look at traitors and remain silent when the wicked swallows up the man more righteous than he?
- 14 You make mankind like the fish of the sea, like crawling things that have no ruler.
- 15 He brings all of them up with a hook; he drags them out with his net; he gathers them in his dragnet; so he rejoices and is glad.
- 16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net and makes offerings to his dragnet; for by them he lives in luxury, and his food is rich.
- 17 Is he then to keep on emptying his net and mercilessly killing nations forever?
