Job 1:13-22 – When God Doesn’t Make Sense

/in /by

Text: Job 1:13-22

Title: When God Doesn’t Make Sense

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

Life doesn’t always go the way we expect, and we pray to God for help and guidance. But sometimes it seems like even though we pray with faith, God doesn’t do what we’ve asked. We seek Him, but don’t feel His presence. We go through pain, but our cries for relief seem to go unanswered. Sometimes, our lives just don’t make sense. No one has experienced this confusion more than Job. This week, we meet Job as he loses everything for no apparent reason. Sitting in the dust of grief, we wrestle with him how to understand our world and our God when God doesn’t make sense to us.

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

Whether they’re bawling, crawling, walking, talking, driving you crazy or asking to drive your car, kids are a gift from God – and God provides some very clear guidance and insight on how to raise them to be full of faith and focused on Him, rather than leaving you frustrated, frazzled and fatigued. In this our final week thinking about Parenthood, we come to the difficult topic of parents who fail. How do we move forward after our failures as parents? And, how do we connect with our loving Father when our parents have failed us sometimes in painful ways?
