Job 1-2, 38:1-7, 42:1-17 // Paul Brandes

Why do the righteous suffer? This sermon examines the life of Job, a man who lost everything yet refused to abandon his integrity. We walk through the moments where he confronted his grief and the specific instances where God spoke from the whirlwind, shifting the focus from Job’s pain to the vastness of the universe. Rather than providing simple answers to complex pain, these passages invite us to trust in a wisdom that far exceeds our own. The sermon concludes with a look at his restoration, highlighting how his perspective changed after he saw the lord with his own eyes.
