Series: Philemon
Key Text: Philemon 1:1-3
Description: Paul doesn’t command Philemon as an Apostle but rather appeals to him out of Christian love and the Gospel. Paul’s greeting and salutation support his letter, confident of the outworking of the Gospel in the life of Philemon for the benefit of Onesimus and the church.

Key Text: Philemon 1:1-3
Description: As an introduction to the book of Philemon, we will explore what the Scriptures say about slavery in the Old Testament under the Mosaic Law, in the New Testament under Roman Law, and how those systems of slavery differed to that of the American South. Finally, we will look at how the Gospel offers good news to the slavery from sin.

Series: Jude
Key Text: Jude 1:17-23
Description: Now that Jude has commanded us to contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints, he now gives us the things to do in order to accomplish this task. The tasks he gives are both practical as well as profound. If churches were to follow Jude’s instruction many wouldn’t be in such dire need of reform.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Jude
Key Text: Jude 1:5-10
Description: Jude wants to draw a strong connection between the false teachers who have infiltrated the church in his day, to those who are known to have incurred the judgment and wrath of God. These lessons are just as applicable to the modern church as they were to those who worshiped in the first century.

Key Text: Jude 1:3-4
Description: Jude gets to the point in his letter right away. While planning to write a letter about their shared salvation, Jude changes his mind when he hears about the false teachers that have crept into this congregation. He now feels compelled to write a letter urging these believers to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered.

Key Text: Jude 1:1-2
Description: Jude may be one of the most overlooked and under-taught books of the New Testament. Yet it is a book that is just as much needed in the church today as it was in the first century. This sermon covers the greeting portion of Jude’s letter focusing on the Christian’s Perception, Position, and Possessions.

Series: Job
Key Text: Job
Description: In order to correctly apply the book of Job to our lives, we must take into account the entire book, including the epilogue. It is in the final 11 verses of Job where we learn of his vindication and restoration and the condemnation of his three friends who have spoken falsely. While Job never receives the answer to the question of why he is suffering, what he does receive is far greater.

Series: Job
Key Text: Job 42
Description: As Job is confronted with the wisdom of God, he no longer seeks vindication but repents in dust and ashes. God’s anger is kindled against Job’s friends who must go to Job to receive vindication with Job acting as their mediator. After this, God vindicates Job and all that he has lost and in so doing God vindicates His own name as well, showing that His wisdom and ways are beyond our understanding that He is righteous and right in all that He does.

Key Text: Job 38-42
Description: Everyone is silenced as God speaks.
God answers Job out of the whirlwind, disclosing His greatness and majesty in all of creation. Job is instructed in wisdom that begins with him understanding that God is great and greatly to be praised. God’s thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and His ways are higher than our ways. Job is humbled as God prepares him to be vindicated and restored.

Series: Job
Key Text: Job 32-37
Description: A surprising introduction into the story is a lengthy speech form a young man named Elihu. Elihu, although aroused by anger against Job and his three friends, doesn’t unfairly accuse Job but reminds him of his former proclamations of faith and serves to prepare the way for Job to hear from God Himself.

Series: Job
Key Text: Job 28-31
Description: In Job’s final speech, he comes very near his breaking point. He remembers the past, laments his current situation, and comes close to defending himself self-righteously. But God knows that Job is at the end of his strength and God will soon silence Job by answering him out of the whirlwind.

Series: Job
Key Text: Job 22-27
Description: The third cycle of speeches is covered in this message. This includes the final speech from Eliphaz, Bildad, and Job (Zophar does not speak in the final round. Job wrestles with very difficult issues concerning the mystery of God’s wisdom and providence. But it is here that Job finds some conclusions as well. But the answers Job seeks will not be provided to him and will remain in question until the coming of Christ… Job’s Redeemer.

Series: Job
Key Text: Job 18-21
Description: The speeches in this second cycle become even more insulting. Bildad in chapter 18 and Zophar in chapter 20 don’t hold back in their calling Job a wicked man. But in the midst of it all, in chapter 19, Job makes one of the most profound statements of faith found in the entire Bible. Job leaves off in chapter 21 knowing that the question of why the righteous suffer while the wicked prospers has not been answered and that his friends speeches have been nothing but falsehood.

Key Text: Job 15-17
Description: Eliphaz speaks to Job a second time and his speech becomes more attacking. Eliphaz tells Job he is sinning right now and that he stand condemned by his own words.
Job continues to maintain his integrity and trust in God. Remarkably Job cries out for a Mediator who would intercede with God on Job’s behalf and act as a witness and even be Job’s friend. Only one could fill this role and that is Christ Himself.

Series: Job
Key Text: Job 11-14
Description: Zophar is the third friend to speak. His speech ends cycle one in the dialogue portion and in the end he adds nothing new to the views of Job’s other two friends. Zophar is insulting in his attack as he basically calls Job a windbag and a scoffer.
Job continues to declare his innocence and calls for a trial before God. In the end he continues to trust in God and says, “though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.”

Key Text: Job 8-10
Description: We’ve come to the second of Job’s friends, Bildad. Bildad doesn’t have the diplomatic skills of the older Eliphaz, instead he councils Job in his blunt cruelty.
Job is brought so low in his struggle that he cries aloud for a mediator, one who could stand between him and God. Job’s calamity and pain point out a desire that could only be fulfilled by Christ.
