Sermons on suffering
Defending God against Questions of Justice
Elihu responds to Job’s questions in defense of God. Job has questioned God’s justice as he suffers. He cannot understand why God has brought this great calamity upon him. Elihu burns with anger as he desires to see God and his justice defended and exonerated. So Elihu takes up this task to explain why Job suffers. This helps us to think through this most profound issue of suffering and the justice of God.
How Can We Trust God?
In times of suffering, pain and difficulty we can be tempted to sin. We can be tempted to deny God, to distort the truth of God, or to doubt his word and promises. How do we fight against these temptations and trust through times of great adversity? In this sermon, we look at three key attributes of God that are going to kindle a fire of trust in our hearts, give us strength and carry us through the darkness.
