Description: In our passage today, we see a glimpse into the heavenly throne room. Satan obeys the summons to appear, and he comes as the accuser of God’s people. God tells Satan to state for the record where he has been and Satan states that he has been going “to and fro on the earth.” And then God asks Satan a question that challenges Satan: “Have you considered my servant Job?”
Satan accepts this challenge from God by saying that if God allows him to take away Job’s blessings that Job would curse God to His face. Job would then be proved a fake and God would be guilty of nothing more than cosmic bribery.
The gauntlet has been thrown down…and it is God’s idea.

Description: In this sermon (part 2 of 2) we follow the man Job as he encounters calamity. We only look at the parts of the story that happened directly to Job. We see it from his perspective and skip the section of the happenings between God and Satan in the heavenly throne room (which we will cover in the next sermon).
We look at Job’s response and in it we see an example of a man who must look to a Redeemer in the midst of his trials.
We end by looking at Christ who in many ways is the anti-type of Job and is the greater sufferer and who accomplished the ultimate defeat of all of Job’s enemies. (Listen to Part 1)

Description: The difference between having religion and having salvation is clearly pictured in the story of Cain and Abel. The story centers around the sacrifices presented by these two boys. God accepted one and rejected the other.

Description: John ends his letter with a warning to all Christians that we should guard ourselves from idols. We will consider this warning while noting four things this text teaches us:

Description: Humanity loves its religions, but we see from the Book of Matthew that Jesus has just the opposite position. Too often we read God’s Holy Word with the thought that it’s all about us… all about how we can find God. In today’s message, we will see that the Bible is not about us: It’s all about God.
Description: John declares at the start of this epistle that he and the other Apostles were eye witnesses to the person and work of Christ. Although human testimony is important, John now calls forth the star witness…none other than God Himself. God has declared Jesus to be the Christ and the only way of salvation for sinners. To reject the testimony of God is to call God a liar.
Description: The Christian life is not a life of ease but a life of struggle. We struggle against the world, the flesh, and the devil. It is a life that demands entrance through a narrow gate and it is a daily walk along a narrow path. In our passage this morning, John doesn’t leave us discouraged but tells us that in the midst of this battle, the Christian will overcome the world.
We will be looking at three things in regards to the Christians overcoming the world:

Description: The “Super Bowl of Miracles” is the only miracle covered in all 4 Gospels. The gathering of people was huge and the Lord’s provision for them was amazing. For us the story carries some interesting insights that can reveal the caring heart of God for His bride: The Church.
Description: The Apostle Paul was an intelligent highly educated man. In his humanity he could have easily thought of himself as being superior to others. To make him usable, and to keep him humble, God graciously gave Paul a special gift which Paul describes as a ‘thorn in the flesh’.
Description: John’s epistle is like looking through a kaleidoscope. He repeats the same truths, but from different perspectives. In this final chapter, John turns the kaleidoscope yet again to present a new view of the themes of loving God, loving the brethren, and obedience to God’s law. But this time we see it from the perspective of faith.
