When fear and uncertainty close in, we don’t just want comfort—we want control, something solid we can hold onto. In Exodus 32, Israel melts down the very gold God gave them in Egypt to cast a god they can see, and the impulse driving that golden calf is closer to our own hearts than we’d like to admit.
When you’re in a wilderness season—the kind that doesn’t feel like a season at all—the doubt that creeps in isn’t usually about theology; it’s simpler and sharper than that: Is God really with me? That’s precisely the question hanging over Exodus 3, where God meets Moses in the wilderness and answers it not with reassurance alone, but with His name.
As we enter the season of Lent, Habakkuk helps us think about righteousness and humility.
Why do we fast, pray or give? Are we seeking the praise of people around us or are we keeping our focus on God?

Pastor takes us through Ps. 135-137 and thinks about how they fit into the time of preparation we call “Advent.”
