Longing for God’s Justice in the World

May 24, 2020 ()

Bible Text: Job 24 |

Series:

Injustice surrounds us. The poor and vulnerable are preyed upon. The righteous suffer. Where is God's justice? We consider this question as we come alongside Job as he laments the lack of justice in the world.

Questions for you to consider:
1. How would you explain suffering and evil to one skeptical of Christianity?
2. What do we do in the face of injustice all around us?



Job

The book of Job deals with the topic of suffering. But even more profound that questions surrounding suffering are questions surrounding the nature of God. This book, and thus this sermon series, explores the nature and character of God. The goal, to say with Job from a place of comfort in the midst of suffering, "I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you" (Job 42:5).
