Week 1

This powerful message takes us deep into the story of Job, a man who lost everything—his wealth, his children, his health—yet refused to curse God. We're confronted with one of life's most challenging questions: how do we maintain faith when everything falls apart? The sermon walks us through Job's journey of living in the 'in-between'—that uncertain space between what was and what will be, between the prayer going up and the answer coming down. What's remarkable about Job isn't that he never questioned or complained; he did both. But he never stopped talking to God. This distinction is crucial for us today: faith isn't the absence of questions or pain, but the choice to keep God on the throne even when we don't understand. The message reminds us that we don't just trust a powerful God from a distance—we trust a personal Savior who stepped into suffering Himself. Jesus gives us what Job didn't have: the cross, the resurrection, and the promise that Sunday always follows Friday. When we're walking through our own uncertain seasons, we're challenged to ask ourselves honestly: what do we turn to for comfort? Food? Distractions? Control? Or do we turn to the One who anchors us in the storm? The beauty of Job's story is that God restored him—not because he figured everything out, but because he trusted through it all.
