Sermons from November 2019

Zophar has a good theological confession regarding the wisdom of God. His application is lacking but we can learn from his advice to Job. God’s wisdom is infinite in its perfections and his people must trust him and take comfort that he will do what is best.

How is lament different than complaining? How should we respond when we feel like complaining? Complaining is sinful and we need God’s grace and wisdom to repent from it. In this sermon we consider Job’s mindset and his actions of venting his complaint. We then consider biblical wisdom from other laments to keep us from complaining and accusing God or others.

Job moves from lament to accusations as he accuses God of injustice. Have this happened to you? What is the truth that we need in those moments? Here we see the solution to the problem of evil and suffering is to look to the Lord Jesus Christ!

** Note: The audio quality in this sermon is very poor. How can a man be in the right before God? This is Job’s question as he considers the justice of God. God’s justice is an oft neglected and much avoided topic. In this message we consider why seeking to avoid God’s justice is an exercise in futility.
