Sermons on Job 42:3:

Jesus Is The One Who Casts Evil Out

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 29, 2022

Job is able to put the words “good,” “afflicted,” “learning” and “law” together in one sentence. And we could add the word "joy," too.

Saturday of the 26th week in course Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the OT, has the prayer of somebody in the midst of a crisis: “It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.” It may very well be a prayer of Job, whose life and response we have been studying over the ...read more

God Made Me This Way Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 7, 2021

This is not a message about homosexuality. This message is much broader than that. It’s about a false doctrine or belief in the Body of Christ that is a lie. Part of the message is personal and you can also personalize it from your life experiences.

Is God your co-pilot? – Part 3 Several years ago I watched an episode of ESPN’s 30-30, a program that looks at the history of collegiate and professional athletics.

Contributed by Daniel Habben on May 23, 2021

If you've ever travelled to a place where the culture was different than yours, you know how clueless you can feel. Job's "culture" was different than God's. It's no wonder he felt lost in the midst of his suffering...

How many of you have travelled to a place where the culture was noticeably different than yours? At times, didn’t you feel totally clueless?

Dialogue With Job

Contributed by Vicki Williamson on Feb 28, 2022

Today we are going to go back in time and journey together with a man called Job. His name means hated or persecuted.

Job lived in a time when his culture believed that prosperity on earth was connected to a person’s goodness and consequently suffering was connected to an individual’s sin or offensive thoughts, words and behaviour. As a result of these beliefs, false perceptions were formed about the Creator of ...read more

A Happy Ending Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Job is saying, now he really knows God, and has a great concept of God. He, like so many, had dragged God down into the realm of mere words. God was a subject in theology to be explained, instead of a person to be encountered.

Job is one of the masterpieces of world literature. It is studied today even in secular colleges, and students are required to write papers comparing Job's sufferings with those of the Greek god Prometheus. I know this, because I just recently loaned a commentary on Job to my neighbor who had ...read more

After The Whirlwind

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 15, 2020

Do we learn anything by passing through difficult times? A study of Job will encourage the people of God to realize that God always instructs us through the trials we are called to pass through.

How Big Is Your God?

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 23, 2020

Is your God big enough to do whatever He wants? For many of us who follow the Lord, we are not certain that God is big enough to do what is needed for us to succeed.

“Then Job answered the LORD and said: ‘I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. “Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?” Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. “Hear, and I will ...read more

What Does It Mean To Say God Is Sovereign?

Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Jun 23, 2019

TO SAY THAT GOD IS SOVEREIGN DOES NOT LIMIT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM TO "DO'S AND DON'TS". IT ALLOWS US THE ASSURANCE THAT OUR AWESOME GOD, WANTS THE BEST FOR US AND IF WE ALLOW HIM TO BE SOVEREIGN WE WILL BE BLESSED AS A RESULT
