There was an end to Job's suffering. And the scripture says he was more blessed in the latter part of his life than before. Does that mean we, too, will experience greater earthly blessings after our suffering? No. But for those who remain faithful to Jesus, we are promised that our suffering will end one day. And we, too, will be richly blessed beyond measure. What Job got in this life…we are promised to get in the next. So don’t quit!

Many people will say, “I can’t wait to ask God why he ____________.” There is an expectation that God owes them an explanation. Job gets the opportunity so many people dream off…and it doesn’t go like he envisioned. When confronted about Job's suffering…God offers no explanation except: I am God.

A few weeks ago we learned what not to say from Job's three friends. Today a new voice jumps in, a young man named Elihu. He offers a different perspective of what to say to a person who has suffered greatly. Sometimes, in addition to encouragement and lament, there are hard things that need to be said in love and truth.

We hope that you enjoy this episode.If you haven't yet listened to the last two sermons, we encourage you to listen to them as they will help make this conversation more sense.
The only thing worse than bad things happening to good people is when good things happen to bad people. Does it ever feel like the wicked are never punished? Like everything works out in their favor? Job made the same observation. Does that mean it’s better to be bad?
As Job continues to sit in his suffering, he understands one thing for sure: God is all powerful. There is no doubt in Job's mind that God is above him and can do anything he pleases and no one can stop him. However, there is one issue that Job seems to struggle with: Is God good? Does He care for the people He created? Does He listen to their cries? Is He willing to respond to their hurts? The answer to that for Job seems to be "no." At the end of this chapter, Job seems to think the solution would be a mediator in between him and God...
Welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast. On today's episode Jason, Josh and Brendan sit down and they how can we determine if we are hearing from God or a different type of spirit. They also talk about how to deal with the answer no when we are praying in the mist of suffering. They also look at the example of Jesus and Paul, who were told no in seasons of suffering.We hope you enjoy this episode.
What do you say when someone is hurting? If Job's friends teach us anything, they teach us what not to say. In this text we find the beginning of some age old cliches that we need to stop saying to people who are hurting.

This week, Jason, Ken, and Brendan sit down and discuss the misunderstanding of Jobs's Wife in her suffering. They discuss how to submit to God's sovereignty amid our suffering and move from a place of resentment of God in pain and trial to a position of gratitude. We hope that you enjoy this conversation.
Just when it seemed like Job had passed the test of his suffering, it was taken to a new level. His suffering went beyond the external circumstances of his wealth and family to the personal suffering in his own body. While those around him encouraged him to walk away from his faith, Job had a different perspective that is a helpful reminder for all of us when suffering comes our way.

Throughout the story of Job, we are given access not only to what is going on in the earthly realm, we are also given behind the scenes access to what is going on in the heavenly realms regarding Job’s suffering. In this first chapter we see Job endure some of the greatest of all suffering and respond to it in the most unexpected way...
One of the things that we often do whenever reading an account of the events in scripture is to imagine ourselves in the story. Looking for someone in the text that represents us, we can find someone that we can see ourselves in. However, if you are looking for yourself in the Easter story, you don’t have to look any further than Barabbas.
