Responding to Suffering with Lament
All of us have known or will know great suffering. We come to learn through experience that sad situations don’t always get better, and life’s problems don’t always get solved. And when those moments inevitably arrive on our doorstep, and when explanations or quick solutions don’t seem to appear on the horizon, few things can be more freeing than to know that God understands, that our frustrations and questions and struggles and doubts do not fluster Him, and that He even invites us to come and to air our grievances before Him in trust. Join us for this week’s message as we continue our sermon series from the life of Job, and discover the important role that biblical lament can play in helping us to process pain and walk through seasons of grief and sorrow.
From Series: "Job: Uncertainty, Suffering, and a Sovereign God"
This Week's Message: God Sovereign in Relief
Relief. When suffering has ended and the weight is lifted. When times of sorrow are over. When the hope of a better tomorrow becomes today. At the conclusion of the book of Job, Job enters such a period of relief, but what can modern Christians learn from this part of the story? Will our troubles eventually fade away? Will we enter relief as well? Who decides? Do we play a role? This week, we'll look at God's sovereignty in relief and see that we have more in our future than even Job could imagine.
