Habakkuk: Why Bad Things Happen to “Good People”

Описание: Why Bad Things Happen to “Good People”
In this Alpha & Omega series message, Pastor Gene Simco of C3 Church Naples tackles one of the most difficult questions believers ask: “Why do bad things happen to good people?”
The prophet Habakkuk wrestled with the same question. After Assyria’s fall, Judah had become corrupt, and Babylon was rising to power. Habakkuk looked around and saw injustice everywhere—the wicked were winning, the faithful were suffering, and God seemed silent. But when God finally answered, His plan shocked Habakkuk: He would use Babylon, a nation even more wicked, to bring judgment.
Through this honest conversation between a confused prophet and a sovereign God, we learn that faith is not about getting the answers we want—it’s about trusting the God who knows what we can’t see. Pastor Gene shows how Habakkuk’s message demolishes the false “prosperity gospel” and replaces it with biblical truth: God’s people are not promised a life without suffering—they are promised His presence through it.
The sermon walks through Habakkuk’s journey from complaint to confidence and answers the question through Scripture:
• Romans 3 reminds us that none are good—our world is broken by sin.
• Isaiah 57 shows that God sometimes spares the righteous through suffering.
• Romans 5 reveals how tribulation produces endurance, character, and hope.
• Hebrews 12 teaches that discipline is proof of God’s love, and we endure by keeping our eyes on Jesus.
By the end, Habakkuk teaches us how to worship while we wait and how to rejoice even when life feels unfair. Because our faith isn’t based on what we see—it’s based on who God is.
