This week, we are continuing our sermon series titled, "Questions for God." The question we are asking God this week is: Why Do Bad Things Happen?
Weekly Scripture Reading
Job 2:11-13*Job 2 - 11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all these troubles that had come upon him, each of them set out from his home– Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They met together to go and console and comfort him. 12 When they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him, and they raised their voices and wept aloud; they tore their robes and threw dust in the air upon their heads. 13 They sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.
*The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible
+ What is the underlying assumption (or assumptions, plural) that person had about God?
+ What is our role in relationship with people who have this question? What should we say or do?
Let me know. I look forward to hearing what you think...
Prayerfully,
Gregg
