The Gospel in Calamity [Job 8-10]

June 1, 2014

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 06/01/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Job

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.

Miserable Comforters [Job 4-7]

May 25, 2014

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 05/25/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Job

Key Text: Job 4-7

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.

Why? [Job 2:11–3:26]

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 05/18/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Job

Key Text: Job 2:11–3:26

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?”

Have You Considered My Servant Job? [Job 1:6-12]

April 13, 2014

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 04/13/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Job

Key Text: Job 1:6-12

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.

A Man Called Job (part 2) [Job 1:1-5; 13-22]

April 6, 2014

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 04/06/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Job

Key Text: Job 1:1-5; 13-22

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)

Why Jesus Hates Religion [Matthew 1:21-23]

March 2, 2014

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/02/2014

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Matthew 1:21-23

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.
