But if not (Jireh Scheurwater)
Looking at the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego as they faced the fiery furnace. We’ll reflect on what it means to trust God unconditionally—not just when He delivers us from challenges, but even if He doesn’t.
Job: God’s speeches (Brian Paris)
Job chapters 38-42. Job has demanded answers and God shows up to talk about random things that don’t seem to address a single one of Job’s questions! Why do these speeches actually seem to help Job process everything? What is a behemoth and leviathan? What is it Job seems to understand from what God says and does it have any application to our lives?
Job: the debate (Brian Paris)
Job chapters 4-37. The vast majority of the book of Job is taken up with a poetic debate where they just seem to say the same thing over and over. The friends accuse Job of secretly sinning and thus deserving that has happened and Job denies it only for the next friend to accuse him. What is going on? Is there anything we can learn from ancient people with foreign worldviews debating the finer points of theology?
Job: an Introduction (Brian Paris)
Job chapters 1-3. We’ll look at the book of Job first talking about its inclusion in the Bible, who wrote it, and if it’s “true”. Then we’ll take a look at Job himself, the horrible suffering he goes through and chapter 3 as he lets vent his frustrations.
