Why God Why? Part 3 - The need for a Mediator

Job 19:19-27

January 22, 2023 • Joe Miriello • 1 Peter 4:1–2, 2 Corinthians 4:8–17, Job 19:19–27

Joe Miriello teaches part 3 of our "Why, God, why?" series. In the midst of brutal pain and suffering we find a different kind of torment; that of misapplied and misdirected truth coming from his very own friends. His suffering continues, yet Job will not curse God. Instead, he calls out for a mediator and intercessor, and it is here that Job finds, and we find, hope. There is a redeemer, one who makes sense of our suffering, the Suffering Savior, Jesus.

February 19, 2023 • Bo Noonan • Job 42, Job 16:15–21, James 5:11, James 4:7, Isaiah 61:7

In the final part of our series through the book of Job, Bo Noonan unpacks the the final scenes. Here we find Job standing as a mediator between his friends and God - a picture of what Jesus will one day accomplish. Additionally, we see the beautiful picture of a restored life as God blesses Job with a bountiful end to his days on earth.

Why God Why? Part 6 - Weird and Wonderful

February 12, 2023 • Bo Noonan • Job 40—41

Bo Noonan teaches during part 6 of Why, God, why? If you are looking for part 5, we apologize, but due to a technical error it was not recorded. As for part 6, we find Job in a place of contriteness before the Lord, and the Lord continuing to see the power, majesty, order, and complete control that he has over all creation - both physical and spiritual. Rather that belittling Job, the Lord is showing him that he is completely dependent upon a God who is personal AND powerful.

Why God Why? Part 4 - Where can wisdom be found?

January 29, 2023 • Bo Noonan • Job 28, 1 Corinthians 1:20–25

Bo Noonan teaches in part 4 of "Why, God, why?" Here we find a long monologue by Job that is raw, honest, and all over the place. In his suffering Job is honest before God and he lays it three truths that are worth digging into: 1) Humans have an amazing capacity to explore, 2) humankind has profound limitations, 3) our biggest need is for wisdom...which can only be found in God himself.
