by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/10/2021) We began looking yesterday at the “miserable comforters” who were supposedly Job’s friends. We continue today looking at the mistaken suppositions that they had, and the ways in which their attempts to comfort failed. Download Audio File
Last week, we came to the end of the items of spiritual armor listed in Ephesians 6. We saw that “prayer” is our supply line, which is absolutely necessary for a successful warfare. Today, we want to look at prayer as our “secret weapon.” We often say that the Sword of the Spirit (the word…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/10/2021) Today, we begin looking at Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, who are Job’s “friends” that brought him only more pain and suffering. The lesson of these miserable comforters is that sometimes the best comfort is to simply “be there,” and be silent. Join us as we begin looking…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/26/2021) In today’s message, we finish up a sermon on the sorrow that Job experienced. No doubt his grief was great, and clearly it overwhelmed him. But we learn that in the midst of grief and sorrow, God is still with us even when we cannot see Him….

As we come to the end of the list of the items of spiritual armor in Ephesians Chapter Six, we come to verse 18: “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. . . .” It is important that we understand this verse to be part of Paul’s discourse on the spiritual armor, because prayer is the supply line for…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/5/2021) As we continue looking at the assaults of Satan on Job, we see the depth of Job’s loss. He loses his livelihood, but more importantly he loses all of his children. Join us as we see these attacks and how they prompt Job to confess faith in…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/5/23) Today, we move into the heart of the problems that Job faces. The genesis of his suffering is the assault of Satan upon his life. Remember, Satan – by his own testimony – had been trying to get at Job, but God had a hedge around him….
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/5/2021) We continue today looking into the book of Job, as we are introduced to the characters of his story. Job is the oldest written book of the Bible, and it is amazing that it deals with issues that we still deal with today: the sufferings of this…
