Session 4 | Now I have seen you | Job 40:6-41:34, Romans 11:33-36/1 Cor 3:18-19
How can we trust God when we don’t know the ‘why’ of suffering? By encountering him face to face, as the Almighty ruler of all things.
Session 3 | Holding onto hope in suffering | Job 19, James 5:7-11
Suffering, and the isolation that comes with it, can easily lead to despair, but hope comes from a heavenly Advocate who can take up our cause.
James: “You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.”
Session 2 | It’s not well with my soul | Job 2:11-3:26; Matthew 27:45-49
The innocent suffer, we don’t always know why, but it’s safe to express complaint, confusion and grief to God.
Session 1 | Job’s affliction | Job 1, Luke 22:31-34
Job's undeserved suffering, which the LORD ultimately controls, is an invitation to confront unsettling questions about God's character.
