by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/17/2021) After Eliphaz’s tirade, Job dares to answer him.

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…
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
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.

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….
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/26/2021) We have seen how Satan has assaulted Job; today, we see how much sorrow he brought upon him. Join us as we look at the unspeakable sorrow that Job felt through these unprovoked assaults upon Job. Download Audio File
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/19/2021) As we continue exploring the issue of suffering, we are learning that God often gets blamed for things He hasn’t done! The common belief in the world is that God is orchestrating all the problems of life somehow for our benefit. But is that really true? Join…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/19/2021) Today, we deal with the question of “suffering.” What about suffering? Where does it come from? Does God send it, or is there another source? Join us today as we deal with this basic question of life. Download Audio File
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…
