We’ll be diving into the book of Habakkuk—a short but powerful book!

Though brief, it’s packed with a reminder of the sovereign power of the Lord. In this study, we’ll journey from worry to worship, fear to faith, and terror to trust.

Habakkuk teaches us how to stand firm in a shaky world, with our Sovereign Lord shining brightly in this treasure from the Minor Prophets.

Hope to see you there! Questions, contact Becky Smith at 678-770-0739

Join us this Sunday, February 16 at the 9:30 AM & 11 AM worship services to hear from Daniel Ritchie! 

"I was born without arms. But God is glorified in my difference and has given me a thriving life. God has given me the opportunity and call to speak to more than 200,000 people every year – sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ as well as what I have learned being born visibly different. God has shaped my perspective to pursue a full life because I am defined by Him, and His grace rather than seeing myself as the sum of two empty sleeves or finding my value in the eyes of the critical opinions of the world. It is my joy to encourage others, and provide them with the hope of Christ."
