Maggots, Worms, and God’s Grace

What do we do with Bildad's words that compare man with maggots and worms? Is this comparison fair? How does the Bible describe us in comparison with God?
In this sermon, we consider man in comparison to God and why this leads us to the wonder and beauty of grace.

Questions to consider:
1. Can you define total depravity?
2. Why can thoughts of our own sin lead us to rejoice?
3. How do we commonly deny the need for grace?

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).
