by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 3/2/2022) As we continue looking at Job’s answer to Zophar, we see Job first referencing the sovereignty of God, and then defending his own righteousness. Some of his pride begins to seep in, but still, overall, Job gets it “more right” than Zophar. Join us today as we…
In today’s edition of “Monday Minutes,” I want to share with you an article by Elder Michael Ivey on the topic of “repentance.” I believe that repentance is more needed among God’s people now than ever! May we take heed to these admonitions, and follow after Biblical repentance. May the Lord bless you is my…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/2/2022) In this sermon, we begin with a review of where we are to this point. Next, we begin looking at Job’s answer to Zophar’s first attack. We see that Job, while right on many things, nevertheless eventually lets pride and self-righteousness show through. Download Audio File
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/12/2021) As we began to see in the last podcast, Zophar attacks Job based upon Job’s purported guilt before God. Today, we will continue looking at Zophar’s arguments, where we find that although he has some knowledge of truth, he misapplies it just like everyone else. Download Audio…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/12/2021) In today’s sermon, after a review of where we are to this point in the Book of Job, we begin looking at the attacks of Zophar against Job. Zophar accuses Job of guilt and ignorance when it comes to God, and ultimately will advise him to repent…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/7/2021) In the first portion of this sermon, we looked at the arguments that Bildad had against Job. Today, we turn to Job’s answer. We will see that, even though none of these characters got it all just right, Job had a much better understanding of God than…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/7/2021) In this message, we begin looking at how Bildad attacks Job based upon what he deems to be “ancient” wisdom. We will see that his idea of “Christian Karma” – i.e., that every sin requires a “one for one” punishment in this life – is erroneous. He…
Having just concluded a study in “Monday Minutes” regarding the spiritual armor we have in the Kingdom of God, I found it providential to run across the following article by Elder Michael Ivey on the same topic. I felt it appropriate to share it with you here. It succinctly summarizes what we have been studying…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/17/2021) In the last post, we began to look at Job’s first answer to his friends’ tirades against him. We saw that, while he initially appealed to his friends for sympathy, he ultimately appealed to God for mercy from the toils of this life. Join us as we…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/17/2021) After Eliphaz’s tirade, Job dares to answer him. His primary response is an appeal to his friends first for mercy, and then an appeal to the vanity of life. He ultimately concludes that he would not want to live forever in a life that is as miserable…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/17/2021) As we continue looking at Eliphaz the Temanite’s first argument against Job, we see that his experiences and observations don’t always pan out. What a lesson for us! We should never let what we see by our earthly vision cloud our spiritual sense as we live and…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/17/2021) We come now to the first argument made by one of Job’s friends. Eliphaz the Temanite basis his argument on his own experience and his own observations, two very faulty grounds for any argument! Rather than trusting God and understanding His true nature, Eliphaz begins to rebuke…
