Feb 20, 2022Closing Argument: Job 29-31Series: Studies in JobJob makes his final defense of himself before his friends and before God. We see a man reflecting on his life, on his motives, and on his struggles. It is important to note that God gives Job all the space and time he needs to get it all out of his system. As we examine Job’s final words we will consider the fact that we all can look back at memories, joys, sorrows, regrets, and victories. The question we need to explore is simply this: “When I have hit the proverbial bottom of my life, where is God?”

Jan 23, 2022Wrong Thinking About GodSeries: Studies in JobHow we think about God matters. It matters a great deal. In fact how we think about God impacts our daily lives, our daily decisions, and even our relationships, whether we know it or not. Job’s friends, and even Job himself had some notions about God. Their preformed opinions dictated how they “comforted” and confronted Job. But God says they were wrong (Job 42:7). In this sermon we will address the wrong thinking about God in the book of Job and seek to find correction for our own lives.
