Today we look at that conversation and learn something from Habakkuk's response. Originally Broadcast May 10, 2...

Hope in Good Friday

The day that Jesus died on the cross was a horrible day. Jesus was falsely accused, beaten, and scourged. He was condemned to die based upon a lie.

It looked like all hope was lost. But the people didn't know the rest of the story back then. Hope wasn't lost. Jesus' death on Friday and resurrection on Sunday have brought hope...
