Sermon from June 28

Showing Godly Sympathy

Job 2: 11 - 13, 3: 1 - 4

1. There is power in numbers. It is important for us to agree together to pray for one another and comfort each other. Matthew 18: 19, 20

2. The friends did everything right in this chapter. They cried with him and sat with him.

3. They sacrificed for him and joined him in his suffering.

4. We feel we must say the right thing, but often silence is the best we can offer.

5. Just being there gives the best comfort.

6. When Job finally speaks, he vents about how bad he feels.
