Enduring the Experience of Loss

The Book of Job

July 14, 2024 • Drake Osborn • Job 29—31

Give

Job 29:1-31:40 // As Job gives his final lament and defense, we experience with him the loss of what was and what is—but with stubborn faith believe that in Christ we will never lose what will be.

The Outcome of Righteous Suffering

August 4, 2024 • Dave Becker • Job 42

Job 42 // The gospel of Jesus is a comedy, not a tragedy. For righteous sufferers, the outcome is always restoration: of worship, of ministry, and of heavenly fortunes and dreams.

Dragon Slayer

July 28, 2024 • Drake Osborn • Job 38—41

Job 38-41 // Finally, God speaks to us in our suffering, and we learn that he 1) answers the cries of the righteous; 2) orders the chaos of the world; and 3) triumphs over the evil of the ages.

The Wisdom of Youth

July 21, 2024 • Jake Anthony • Job 32—37

Job 32:1-37:24 // Finding comfort in suffering is more than simply knowing things about God. Elihu's "youthful wisdom" inadvertently reveals our true need: For God himself to draw near. In Christ, God does draw near to us and assures us that we are both his friends and participants in the Holy Spirit together.
