Dive into Job

Heaven the Happiest Ending

August 21, 2023 • Andy Davis

While Job was a better man than we will ever be, we have in Christ a better hope than he ever had. We can suffer well because Jesus is risen!

Don’t Expect a Full Explanation on Earth

August 16, 2023 • Andy Davis

God is not accountable to us or to any of his creatures for anything he does. He will never owe us an explanation, but the Bible gives us enough information to understand God’s overall purpose in this world and in our lives in particular, he uses the pain and sorrows of this world to bring us to faith in Christ and to salvation in the New Heavens and New Earth.

The Glories of Creation and the Goodness of God

August 14, 2023 • Andy Davis

Nature is a radiant display of God’s power, love, and wisdom. The Bible's message centers on Christ, who demonstrated power over nature and walks with us in our suffering. Jesus provided a permanent solution to sin, pain, and death through His death and resurrection.

Don’t Question God’s Love, Justice, or Wisdom

August 9, 2023 • Andy Davis

From creation to the cross of Jesus Christ, we can observe the existence of God's love, wisdom, and power despite the existence of suffering. Rather than doubting these qualities, and cursing God, it is crucial to draw close to Him.

The Overwhelming Majesty of God

August 7, 2023 • Andy Davis

It is extremely healthy for us to contemplate the infinite majesty of God in order to suffer well, trusting him, drawing near to him, allowing him to convict us and transform us.

How Suffering Probes Us and Grows Us

August 2, 2023 • Andy Davis

Suffering probes us, exposes hidden patterns of sin, and brings us to repentance.

Learning from Job’s Friends

July 31, 2023 • Andy Davis

In this world of suffering, one of the greatest ministries we can have is to walk alongside those who are suffering, to speak words of comfort and wisdom, to pray with them, to let them know they’re not alone.

Imitating Job at His Best

July 26, 2023 • Andy Davis

We should imitate Job in his piety; blameless and upright, fearing God, shunning evil, living actively and energetically for others. We should also imitate him in his patience, his willingness to suffer without charging God with wrongdoing.

Understanding the “Hedge of Protection”

July 24, 2023 • Andy Davis

Satan cannot make a move against us, our possessions, our loved ones, or our health without permission from God. When we are suffering, we should be mindful of Satan’s activity in bringing it about and the hedge of protection that surrounds us every moment.

Aware of the Dragon and the Dragon-Slayer

July 19, 2023 • Andy Davis

The Bible openly depicts Satan and demons as powerful forces shaping everyday life and bringing about human suffering. We need to be aware that Jesus Christ is the “serpent-slayer” who came to crush the serpent’s head and rescue all those enslaved by the chains of death.

Holding Earthly Blessing Loosely

July 17, 2023 • Andy Davis

We should be deeply thankful to God for all our earthly blessings, recognizing that our wealth really belongs to God and should be used to build His Kingdom. As these can also be taken from us quickly, we should still praise God and keep in mind that our true wealth is Christ and heaven.

A Better Hope

July 12, 2023 • Andy Davis

The problem of death stands over the whole human race as the ultimate thief. Job seemed to have significant doubts about life after the grave. In none of his assertions about death and the grave, is it certain that Job has a clear view of the resurrection. But because of Christ’s resurrection victory, we have a better hope and can suffer well.

Christ our Perfect Mediator and Redeemer

July 10, 2023 • Andy Davis

All of scripture is written to bring us to faith in Christ as our Savior, Mediator, and Redeemer. The Book of Job is no different, the Holy Spirit moved the author to write words helpful to his suffering people in every era of redemptive history, and the suffering is meant to bring us to a stronger faith in Christ.

Job, a Righteous Man

July 5, 2023 • Andy Davis

The Book of Job introduces a uniquely righteous man, unique because of the heavenly praise heaped on Job by God and because Satan, the accuser, had nothing bad to say about him. Although Job is a good role model of a righteous man, yet he was not perfect, and in this video, we will see that only Christ is the perfect one!

Learning to Suffer Well

July 3, 2023 • Andy Davis

Why do ‘good people' suffer? What does it mean to 'suffer well’? The Book of Job addresses the problem of righteous people suffering.
