Out Of The Whirlwind: Born To Trouble Series

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Oct 16, 2021

What job encounters in our text this week is a god who overwhelms and transforms him, even in the depth of his pain.

I wonder this morning Wesley Does anyone come to worship expecting to encounter the living ...read more

Why God? Why? (October 12. 2012).

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

Can we always make sense out of tragedies? Like Paul tell us as Job discovers, we have to grasp that nothing can separate us from God’s love (Romans 8:35 -39). We do not get to that place in our journey without God’s help.

Words Without Knowledge

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023

Job began to speak in great detail about his current circumstances and about God. These words had no knowledge of God and brought a misunderstanding or wrong understanding about God. It revealed a lack of comprehension about God.

Job began to speak in great detail about his current ...read more
