Job 2

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 5, 2019

This is the second attempt by Satan to get Job to curse God after the first attempt failed. This shows that true lovers of the Lord will remain true lovers of the Lord, even in times of deep trouble or grief.

Last Sunday, we talked about how Job lost everything he had, including all physical property along with all his children. And how, even though he suffered, he did not blame God, but chose to worship God instead. Today, Satan gives him another test designed to test his loyalty to God, and we will ...read more

When They Saw The Lord Series

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Jul 6, 2025
