  • WHERE IS GOD WHEN LIFE IS SO MESSED UP? the Story of Job
    WHERE IS GOD WHEN LIFE IS SO MESSED UP? the story of Job This booklet was originally created by City Bible Forum ©2020 WHERE IS GOD WHEN LIFE IS SO MESSED UP? the story of Job W H A T ' S I N S I D E The experience of suffering in our lives and in our world can make us ask: Where is God? What is God doing? The Bible's story of Job tells us what God is doing in the midst of suffering. We do not know who wrote the book of Job, or when. Having said that, a copy of Job was found at the Qumran Caves amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls. This makes it likely that the first copy of Job was written before 300 BC. We also don’t know if Job was a real person or not. There are no historical markers in the book to anchor the story, Without these details it has a sense of “once upon a time”. The book of Job is located in the “Wisdom Literature” section of the Old Testament. Quite possibly the book was written to teach principles about the nature of suffering, the relationship between wrongdoing and suffering, and the role of God in this. Session 1 Winners and Losers Session 2 Advice to losers Session 3 Not-so-blind faith Session 4 Resolution Each study has the passage of the bible to be studied, discussion questions and some explanatory notes.

    Copyright August 3 & 4, 2019. All Rights Reserved. Geist Christian Church Title: Beach Reads: WHY? Restored Preaching: Randy Spleth, Senior Minister Scripture: Job 42:1-6 Text: Job 42:7-10 E-mail: Randy Spleth The worst that can happen is behind the best person known. That’s where we are in this year’s Bible beach. In the Old Testament, the best person known is Job and over the last three weeks, we've looked at his story. It is a divinely inspired folk story, told for thousands of years around campfires to ask the question, why? If God is all-good and all- powerful, why do terrible things happen? It was likely acted out as an ancient play. It has four acts and two stages. That’s an important thing to remember. There is an upper stage in heaven and a lower stage on earth. You have the privilege of seeing both. The writer intends for us to have this unique perspective. But it’s crucial to understand that Job only knows what has happened on his stage.1 Let’s have a quick review. Scene one of Act 1 begins on the lower stage where we are introduced to the best person, Job. Job is incredibly rich, a Jeff Bezos rich in the ancient world with 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 pair of oxen, 500 donkeys, and many servants. He also has a large family, seven sons and three daughters. He was incredibly blessed and extraordinarily devoted to God, offering sacrifices not just for himself but also for his children, just in case they sinned.

  • What Job Sees MARTHA E
    Word & World Volume 39, Number 1 Winter 2019 Beauty and the Eye of the Beholder: What Job Sees MARTHA E. STORTZ eauty is in the eye of the beholder.” In its most hackneyed use, the prov- erb references the subjective nature of what is considered beautiful. What one“B person finds beautiful might not comport with the tastes of another. Taste impacts vision. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But the saying invites multiple interpretations. In another interpretation, the proverb refers not simply to what is seen but how one looks.1 Vision, particularly the vision of things beautiful, depends upon the eye of the beholder, because peo- ple see what they want to see, often editing out all the rest. Quite literally, people find what they are looking for. For example, on his first voyage across the Atlantic, Christopher Columbus recorded sightings of mermaids, because he was certain they existed.2 He was so convinced he was approaching the Far East that he read 1 “Each of us is responsible for how we see, and how we see determines what we see. Seeing is not merely a physical act: the heart of vision is shaped by the state of the soul.” John O’Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace (New York: HarperCollins, 2004), 18–19. 2 Christopher Columbus, The Four Voyages of Christopher Columbus, ed. and trans. J. M. Cohen (Lon- don: Penguin, 1969). Beauty is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder. But God calls us to see the world not as we think it is but in the beauty of how God sees it.

  • Through the Bible Study Job 38-42
    THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY JOB 38-42 Comedian Woody Allen was once asked to explain God. He replied, “I can’t explain God to you. I don’t even know how my toaster works.” This is the humility Job obtains by the end of tonight’s chapters. Yet for the bulk of the book - chapters 3-37 - Job had the opposite attitude. His arrogance ran rampant. In justifying himself he accused God. Job questioned, and criticized, and even taunted the Almighty. Job got stuck on why! ... And why is an easy place to get stuck… Focus on what God does, and we learn lessons and move forward. Zero in on Who, God’s goodness, His righteousness, and we look up. Linger on why – and you get stuck. God may not disclose His purpose. Reasons are often hidden from view. God doesn’t owe us an explanation. Why? is like quicksand. The more you struggle to know the deeper you sink. Question God - and disrespect, and pride, and irreverence will grow. Job demands insider information. He wants to know why. He acts like God is bound by the Freedom of Information Act… by the way, He’s not. Job loses the one ideal he couldn’t afford to lose – his fear of God. !1 In chapter 38 God does appears to Job, but not to answer his questions as Job had demanded. No, God takes a most unusual approach. He comes to Job asking questions not answering them. For five chapters God asks Job a series of questions he can’t possibility answer.

  • Sermon Title: Reconciliation and Restoration Speaker: Richard Villodas, Lead Pastor Scripture: Job 42
    Sermon Title: Reconciliation and Restoration Speaker: Richard Villodas, Lead Pastor Scripture: Job 42 Then Job replied to the LORD: “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted. You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’ My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.” After the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has. So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.” So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer. After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house.

  • Re-Visioning Job's Wife
    Scholtz, “Re-Visioning Job’s Wife,” OTE 26/3 (2013): 819-839 819 “I Had Heard of You . But Now My Eye Sees You”: Re-Visioning Job’s Wife ROGER SCHOLTZ (UNIVERSITY OF KWAZULU-NATAL) ABSTRACT Job’s wife has suffered a long history of unjust marginalisation. The few words she utters in her brief appearance in the book of Job have largely been heard negatively by many commentators of the text, who have either vilified or simply ignored her as a result. Accord- ingly, she has come to be seen as a minor character who is mostly irrelevant to the interpretation of the book as a whole. By contrast, William Blake’s artistic exposition of the book of Job imaginatively sees Job’s wife in a radical new light. His re-visioning of her invites a fresh consideration of her presence and influence within the book as a whole. The references to Job’s wealth, social status, children, daughters and his agonised outburst at the start of the poetry sec- tion all point to the pervasive influence of Job’s wife within the book. The picture that emerges is of a woman of strength and insight who shaped the lives of her husband and children in significant ways, drawing them into a transformed perspective of the world in which the beauties and ambiguities of life can be celebrated. Such a re-visioning of Job’s wife enables a fresh hearing of her words, in which she emerges as a key character in the interpretation of the book. Indeed, she can be seen as none other than the forerunner of God as she courageously sows the seeds of a bold new understand- ing of faith that will be fleshed out in the divine speeches in all its vibrant, stirring glory, and will finally lead to Job’s transformation.

  • The Book of Job
    The Book of Job Job the Man: The book of Job is an account of the life of the man Job. Job was perfect, upright, one that feared God, and one who turned away from evil (Job 1:1). Job was also a man of great wealth (Job 1:2) who had been blessed with ten children (Job 1:3). Job was respected and sought out for council by both young and old (Job 29:6-11). Job met his responsibilities of one who is wealthy by helping those in need because he genuinely cared about people. Widows, fatherless, poor, aged, blind, lame, and those who mourned were helped by Job’s generosity (Job 29:12ff). All those who experienced anguish in life were comforted and helped by this man of great faith (Job 4:3-5). Satan Strikes: Job’s character was impeccable in the eyes of God. Satan; however, comes to Jehovah and claims that the only reason Job is so perfect is because God has blessed him with great wealth and family (Job 1:9-10). Satan was confident that Job would renounce God to His face if he took away all God’s blessings and struck him with a terrible disease (Job 1:11; 2:4-5). God permits Satan to strike Job; however, the Almighty placed boundaries upon the man’s life (Job 1:11; 2:6). Satan goes about his dastardly work robbing the perfect and upright man of God of all his substance and even killing all ten of Job’s children. Job responds faithfully by saying, “Naked came I out of my mother’s womb and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah” (Job 1:21).
