Sermon from June 21


Accepting Good and Bad from God

Job 2: 1 - 10

1. Here again we see that Satan answers to God. That Satan cannot be everywhere at once. That Satan cannot do anything without God's permission.
2. Satan argued that a man will turn against God if you cause his health to suffer.
3. Even Job's wife wanted him to curse God. Job was up against temptation worse than anything most of us will ever face.
4. Job realized it isn't fair to accept God's goodness, but never sacrifice for him in return.
5. God can do no evil, (James 1: 13 - 17) but he disciplines us like children and it is unpleasant at the time. Hebrews 12: 7 - 11
6. God allows us to suffer to humble us. 2 Corinthians 12: 7
7. Or if it is for a greater good. Luke 22: 42
