JUNE MEMORY VERSE
Romans 1:16-17. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Sermon Discussion Questions
1. What do you find yourself instinctively looking to for justice besides the Lord? How does that so-call “solution” (id0l) fall short of solving the real problem of evil?
2. Where do you tend to most experience the problem of evil in your thought-life? How does God’s past, present, and future answer to the problem anchor your soul in His justice and help you to labor for justice today?
3. How does the vision of God Habakkuk sees in 3:3-15 grant him present patience and joy in the face of present suffering? How do we know this isn’t a “fanciful” picture of God’s justice and salvation?
4. How would you describe the book of Habakkuk in a short sentence or two? Why do God’s people need this book of the Bible? How has it brought encouragement to you so that you might have hope? (Ro. 15:4)
