Sermon from July 26


Growing Through Trials
Job 36: 27 - 37: 18

1. Elihu believed that Job was suffering because he had become arrogant and that he would continue to suffer until he repented.
2. Elihu believed that God is always just, always righteous, and too powerful for our minds to understand.
3. How should we handle suffering?
a. It can make us closer to God, or it can drive us away from him. Hebrews 10:22
b. It can make our faith stronger, or it can cause us to reject God. James 1: 2 - 4
c. It can make us more sympathetic to others, or it can cause us to become more selfish. 2 Corinthians 1: 3 - 7
d. We can seek answers from God's Word, or we can seek answers from the world. James 1:5
