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.
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.”
Description: There are a surprising number of men in the Bible that are remembered as running. In today’s message we find Philip on a collision path with a power man in a chariot. This encounter was very much of the Lord and resulted in that man’s salvation.
Description: While in prison John the Baptist struggled with assurance as to who Jesus actually was and why He was not conducting Himself the way John thought He should.
We often have the same struggle when God seemingly doesn’t work things out in our lives the way we think He should. Our message today will look in depth at this persepetive.
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.
Description: In chapter 4 the first of Job’s friends, Eliphaz, breaks the silence and provides council to Job. It is miserable council. Eliphaz believes that calamity only follows sin and so has already concluded that Job is in sin and calls for his repentance.
Job is discouraged by his friend and eventually turns his plead to God. In fact, Job is so discouraged that he requests God turn His gaze away from him and let him die in peace.
Description: We are introduced in the text to Job’s three friends. They meant well but they bring to mind the cliché, “with friends like these who needs enemies?” Several months have transpired since Job’s tribulation started, and he is now at that point where death looks sweet and Job curses the day of his birth — always the unanswerable question of…”Why?”
Description: Chapter 2 or Job is the start of a new round of attacks from the Devil. God “lengthens his leash” and allows Satan to put forth his hand against Job’s own body. We will look closely at this new attach and Job’s response.
Description: It’s way too easy, with all the demands on our time, to hurry out of the house in the morning and, in effect, leave God behind. This message on morning devotions will strive to establish the absolute need to form the habit of meeting God in the morning.
Description: One of the most exciting truths in Christianity is the proclamation that Jesus is resurrected as the “first fruit”, the first in a long line of those who accept Christ and will themselves be resurrected from death to life.
Description: In this sermon, we look at the promise Jesus made to His disciples in John chapter 16. He told them that they would be filled with sorrow even as the world rejoices, but that He would turn their sorrow into Joy. Then we look at John chapter 20, to see the fulfillment of that promise and the benediction of peace that Christ pronounced upon His church on that first Easter Sunday and continues to pronounce upon His people today.
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)
