October 25, 2020 ()

Bible Text: Job 38:4-15 |

Series:

This sermon examines God's words to Job. He uses images of a builder, a midwife, and a general to teach Job that the wicked are limited in what they do and when they do it. God's purposes cannot be thwarted.



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).
