Summary

After you have cried to God, freaked out a bit, and begged God what do you do when the future you were fearing becomes the life you are living? That is precisely the pain of Habakkuk. In the final chapter of his tear soaked book, we discover 3 things that God uses to move us from routine to real relationship – prayer, Bible study, and worship. In this very practical sermon, we will examine how to really pray, really study, and really worship by getting out of our routine relationship with God and entering into a real relationship with God. Some of us don’t do these 3 things, and others of us need to learn to do them in a fresh way to grow our faith.

0:00.0	Well, how do you pass from art to fiscal year wanting to welcome you to the Hebacchic series
0:04.8	on us to God where a guy brings all of his questions and complaints to God. God actually takes his call
0:11.1	kind of like a call in talk radio show and gives him a series and set of answers. It's an amazing
0:17.5	book that really fits the mood of our times. It's an honor to teach it to you. And if you'd like to
0:21.9	find the entire series or more of my Bible teaching you can visit markdrisco.org.
0:31.0	All right, if you've got a Bible go to the little book of Hebacchic. It's basically around the
0:35.3	middle of your Bible. This is our last week in the book of Hebacchic and we're in chapter three.
0:42.0	So we tend to be creatures of habit. How many of you are routine people? Your creatures of habit,
0:46.8	amen? You've got a routine. How many of you have got a morning routine? You wake up, you check the
0:51.6	news, you get depressed, you pray for the rapture, you go back to bed. You got a routine. How many of
0:56.2	you aren't even Christians so you get a cup of coffee? You're not even a good Christian so you get
0:59.6	a pot of coffee, okay? How many of you have got a bedtime routine? How many of you have got a
1:04.1	certain way that you drive to work? How many of you your day or your week or your month or your
1:08.8	year? It falls into a pattern and precedent because you're a routine person. Routine is perfectly
1:15.5	fine. It makes life functional but it can be death to a relationship because oftentimes what we
1:21.7	try and do is reduce our relationships down to routines. Grace and I have noticed this. We've
1:27.3	got our 25th wedding anniversary coming up in a couple of weeks and that means that I'm blessed
1:32.8	and she's got a high-paying threshold. So 25 years together we have been and what we have noticed
1:38.8	is there are an increasing number of couples that we know personally that we would have said,
1:44.0	they love the Lord and they're a Christian family and they have a good relationship and then
