MESSAGE ARCHIVE

As we have gone through each week looking at Job’s life and the responses of his wife and friends, we have seen the idea that suffering does not simply lead to negativity in our lives, but that suffering can lead us into a deeper relationship with God. We can grow in our faith and our trust of who God is by walking through hardship. We must be willing to look at our responses to the things we don’t like that happen in our lives and allow the truth of the Gospel to have its way in us. So far, in these weeks, we have looked at the very negative ways that Job’s friends and his wife have misunderstood who God is in His person. The same thing will be true today of Job’s “friend” Zophar…but there is also a bit of truth in what his friends say as well. That part of the problem in our world today, and in Job’s day, is we tend to think that truth is either “all in” or “all out,” but it is more complex than that.

From Series: "Job - Lent Journey 2021"

oin us for an extended Lent journey as we look at who God is through the life of Job (pronounced Joeb in English and e·yove’ in Hebrew). Job is one of the most misunderstood books in the Old Testament, but seen correctly it can help change the trajectory of our worship and understanding of who God is and who we are. Lent includes prayer, self-denial, repentance, and generosity; not as an effort to gain God’s blessing or mercy, but as a response to God’s great love already given to us. Our hope is that you would join us for this journey as God’s Spirit leads us to know Him (and ourselves) better.
