What gets you out of bed in the morning? In order to get moving, something has to grip your heart. Maybe... it’s a new job, a new goal, that first cup of coffee. In Habakkuk 2, we find a better source of hope, of strength, of power to grip your heart. To move you. To get you out of bed. “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” (ESV) Listen as Pastor Luke Herche preaches on this verse, first providing the context of Habakkuk, then looking at the language and vocabulary of the verse itself, and finally sharing three implications: delight in the glory of the Lord in Christ, wait for that glory to come, and reflect that glory to the world.

Do you believe that God can bring change into your life? Christians often struggle with sin... and weakness, wondering if things will ever get better, often tempted to believe they won’t. But the good news for these weary believers is that Christ came (in part) to change us. And he has given us everything we need to that end. But how does it happen? Listen as Pastor Luke preaches on 2 Corinthians 3:18, showing that as we behold Christ in the Scriptures, through the ministry of the word, we become like Christ by the power of the Spirit.

Ora et labora is a Latin phrase with origins in Christian monastic communities. It was a maxim of monks and... nuns throughout the history of the church that captured what they thought the Christian life was all about: prayer and work. And there certainly is an integral connection between our prayer and our work. Listen as RUF Campus Minister Ethan Brown preaches on Psalm 46:10 showing how this passage of Scripture, through the help of the Holy Spirit, can help us lead lives of prayer and work for the glory of God.
