Fusion: week of 5/8

FAMILY THEME: CONFRONTING WORLDLY WISDOM

Job 13:1-28

Job's friends falsely accused him of sin as the cause for his suffering.

Job refused to give in to their lies.

1.   Worldly Wisdom Can Seem Logical, But Still Be False

     (Job 13:1-8)

     Job's friends insisted that his suffering was because God was

     punishing him for some wickedness he had committed.

 
2.  Worldly Wisdom Does Not Pass the Test

     (Job 13:9-12)

     Job tested the wisdom of his friends' arguments, and they

     failed the test.

 
3.  Seek God's Truth and Wisdom When Confronted With Worldly Wisdom

     (Job 13:13-28)

     Job did not correctly understand why he was suffering, but he

     understood that God could do whatever He wanted.
