Fusion: week of 5/15

FAMILY THEME: WHEN GOD DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

Job 19:1-27

Job did not understand why such terrible things happened to him, yet

he continued in his faith that God would redeem him and one day he

would see God.

1.   Sometimes It Can Feel Like Everything, Including God, Is

      Against Us

     (Job 19:1-20)

     Job felt that his friends had attacked him with their words and that

     God had focused His anger against him.

 
2.  Reach Out to People But Realize Their Limitations

     (Job 19:21-22)

     Job reached out to his friends for pity, but they were better at 

     making things worse than they were at making things better.

 
3.  Do Not Abandon Your Confidence in God

     (Job 19:23-27)

     Despite all that had happened, Job never relinquished his faith

     in God.
