2 Corinthians 8:8-24 (The Grace of Giving pt.2)
In today’s message, we will answer the question, “Can a person lose their salvation”? The writer of Hebrews gives a stern warning, but he also gives wisdom to the believer that may be struggling. I pray that we would walk away from this message with a greater understanding of our salvation and how we can be assured of it.
In this chapter, Elihu continues his speech against Job. This young man has much to say, but we know ultimately, he is incorrect in his assessment of Job. He teaches a very strong lesson that we should be careful not to speak beyond what we know. Wisdom doesn’t waste his words.
Ephesians 5:15-21 (Walk in Wisdom)
In this chapter of Job, we will hear Elihu continue to express himself to Job. He questions rather or not God had spoken to Job whereas Job felt that God has not spoken to him. He suggests some of the ways God may have already spoken. We will discuss tonight: How does God speak to us?
In this message, Job’s friend Bildad gives his final argument against Job. It is the briefest of all and clearly Job’s friends have run out of words. Job responds with a discourse on the glory and strength of God. When there is nothing else to say, glorify God.
In this message, Job's third friend, Zophar takes his turn accusing Job of all that he suspects Job is guilty of. He is sure that Job is suffering at Gods hand because of his heinous secret sin. We will learn some important lessons about accusing others without proof.
In this chapter, God uses leviathan to question Job further. Ultimately confronting Job with the reality that he can’t control or restrain leviathan, he had a fear and reverence for leviathan, but does he have fear and reference for God?
In this message, we will see Job continue to interact with God. We will see that in God‘s presence Job is humbled and silenced. What he thought he would say when he got an audience with God is very different. We will learn what it means to be humbled in His presence.
Job gives his final speech. He declares his integrity and explains that he would understand going to the trial he has been through if he had done a number of sinful things to deserve it. We will learn with Job about grace, mercy, and trusting God, beyond what we see, or understand.
