1st John: Real Forgiveness (1:5-2:2)

Written by John the Apostle near the end of his life, 1 John is a pastoral call to faithfulness in a drifting world. As the last living apostle at the time, John wrote to strengthen believers facing worldliness, false teaching, doubt, and division, urging them to stand firm in truth and love. This letter invites believers into real fellowship with God and one another, offering assurance in the midst of uncertainty and calling them to live out the gospel authentically, not merely in words but in obedient faith and active love.  Stay Connected: Website: www.hopecitybismarck.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/HopeCityBismarck Instagram: www.instagram.com/hopecitybismarck HCC Main

Habakkuk: Relentless Joy (3:16-19)

What do you do when God feels silent, injustice feels loud, and waiting feels unbearable? The book of Habakkuk gives voice to the questions many of us are already asking—about suffering, fairness, and whether God is truly at work when the world feels off the rails. In this sermon series from Hope City Church, we walk honestly through Habakkuk’s journey: from raw complaint, to steady confidence, to surrendered worship. This podcast isn’t about tidy answers or religious clichés. It’s about learning how to bring real doubts to a real God—and discovering that God is more patient, powerful, and present than we imagine. As Habakkuk wrestles with God’s ways, we’re invited to wrestle too—and to see how the gospel reframes our waiting, our suffering, and our hope. Each episode traces the deeper story of the book, showing how Habakkuk ultimately points beyond himself to Jesus—the faithful One who trusted the Father perfectly, entered our suffering fully, and secured a future where justice and mercy meet. Whether you’re a lifelong believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this series invites you to slow down, listen honestly, and learn what it looks like to live by faith—not by certainty, control, or circumstance—but by trusting the God who is at work even when we don’t understand.
