This sermon explores the story of Job, emphasizing the strength of unwavering faith and worship during trials, and the beauty of belief beyond blessings.
Greetings, beloved, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! We are gathered here today in the warmth of His love, under the shelter of His wings, and in the light of His word. We are here to commune, to reflect, to learn, and to grow. We are here to be nourished by the Bread of Life, to be quenched by the Living Water, and to be led by the Good Shepherd.

It is because of His love that we are blessed. It is because of His love that we have life, and have it abundantly.
As we continue our reflection, we turn our attention to Job's response to his suffering ... View this full PRO sermon free with PRO
