Sermon from June 7

BoYa!

Job 1

1. Job may have been the first book of the Bible written. It answers the question: "Why does God allow good people to suffer?"

2. There is no simple answer because no one can fathom the mind of God.

3. Job was wealthy, righteous, and a good father.

4. Job lived before Moses, but understood that being right with God requires a blood sacrifice.

5. Satan is answerable to God; He was created by God; He can only be one place at a time; He accuses us before God.

6. But Satan can do absolutely nothing without God's permission.

7. Job's response reminds us that God is worthy of our love and praise apart from the blessings he provides.
