by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/16/2022) We now come to the end of Elihu’s attack upon Job, and we find that he indeed is correct: God is a GREAT God! But Elihu still doesn’t understand all that he thinks he understands about God. God Himself is about to come upon the scene, and…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/16/2022) As we come to the last part of Elihu’s response to Job, we see him affirm that God is indeed a great God! In fact, He is the great God of the universe, and He is good and He is righteous. Join us as we begin to…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/19/2022) We began last time to look at the portion of Elihu’s response that posits that God is a good God. Job had leveled the complaint against God that it does not benefit a person to serve Him; Elihu disputes this, and he is absolutely correct! God is…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/5/2022) Elihu is Job’s fourth friend, younger than the rest, and he finally speaks up and begins to share his “wisdom” with Job as well. But Elihu got many things wrong as well, especially in the way he applied this wisdom. In the sermon today, we begin to…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/5/2022) As we continue looking at Elihu’s response to Job, we see his answer to Job’s allegation that God is somehow unjust. Job has basically said that there is no profit to serving God, because God does not reward those who serve him in the proper way. Elihu…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/21/2022) As we continue looking at Elihu’s response to Job, we see that he focuses upon the mercy of God in the sense that suffering can be a corrective measure. He is generally right about this: God often suffers trials to enter our lives to correct, and even…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/21/2022) In the last sermon, we began looking at the response of Elihu, the youngest of Job’s friends. Elihu waited his turn, and actually had some good thoughts about what was going on. However, like all four of his friends, Elihu did not get it all right! In…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/7/2022) As we continue looking into the Book of Job, we come to the fourth of his “miserable comforters”: a man named Elihu. Elihu has some good things to say, but even he does not get everything right! Join us as we begin to look at who Elihu…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 8/3/2022) As we finish looking today at Job’s pride, we see that Job feels himself to be wronged and demands an audience with God. But does he really want that? We will see that, eventually, God Himself comes onto the scene, and Job cannot answer one of His…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 8/3/2022) As we continue in the book of Job, we are beginning to see Job’s pride creep into the discussions. He believes he has been done wrong by God, and he believes he has a case before God, but ultimately we find that the only case Job –…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 7/20/2022) As we continue looking at Job’s response to Bildad’s second attack, we see that Job focuses first on his own pitiful circumstances. He then points us to the only hope he had: a Redeemer who lives! Join us as we continue looking at Job’s response to Bildad….
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 7/20/2022) As we continue looking at the further attacks on Job by his “friends,” we come to Bildad’s second argument against Job. Bildad accuses Job once again of being a wicked sinner, and Job once again has to defend himself. This time, although he first focuses upon his…
