1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: Let us pray. Then Job arose and rent his mantle, 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: and worshiped. Job won twenty. Dear God, when my character 4 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: is tested like Job, I thank you that my heart 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: and character will be proven to be sincere and true. 6 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: When troubles come upon me, I will not cower and 7 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: walk away from you. God. Instead, I will press in more, 8 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: knowing that you are the source of my joy. In 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 1: seasons of unrelenting blows, I will lift my hands and 10 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: voice to the heavens. I will declare of your goodness 11 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: even when it doesn't make sense, because I know that 12 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: all things are working together for my good. Satan, I 13 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: serve notice that you will not rob me of my joy. 14 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: You will not have my peace because I know that 15 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: my day of victory and vindication draws near. I trust 16 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: you God. Even when I don't understand you, I will 17 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: choose to put my faith and trust in You.

God boasts 28 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 3: of the righteousness of a man named Job. Job was 29 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 3: a man of pure heart and noble intention. He walked 30 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 3: blameless before God and his family.

Previously, 47 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 4: we heard about the final days of Joshua's life and 48 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 4: how God blessed Israel with peace and many victories in battle, 49 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: and gave them an ever expanding share of the land 50 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 4: that God had promised, the Land of Cana, the Promised Land. 51 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: Today we dive into the story of Job. The story 52 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 4: of Job is one of God's faithfulness even in the 53 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 4: face of the greatest adversity imaginable. As we begin today, 54 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 4: we'll hear the dialogue between God and the accuser Satan, 55 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 4: who challenges God to allow Job to be tested to 56 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 4: see if he will remain true and righteous and faithful. 57 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 4: The message of Job has so much to teach us 58 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 4: about the sovereignty of God and his ability to be 59 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 4: steadfast and true no matter what pain comes our way. 60 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 4: So let's begin with today's reading. 61 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 3: The ancient land of Ooz was a blossoming and blessed 62 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 3: country before the ages of kings and conquests. A man 63 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: named Job dwelled in the land peacefully with his family. 64 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 3: Job was a man of noble character and pure heart. 65 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: He was wise in all his dealings and raised his 66 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: family with love, affection, and devotion. He lived in Ooz 67 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: with his wife, seven sons and three daughters. Together with 68 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: his servants, they cared for his seven thousand sheep, three 69 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: thousand camels, five hundred oxen, and five hundred donkeys. Each night, 70 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 3: the family would hold a feast and laugh with each 71 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: other in joy. Job was a truly blessed man and 72 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: made sacrifices for his his family. Every morning. Job would 73 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: continually seek God in the cool of the morning, and 74 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 3: the two of them were close in all his ways. 75 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 3: In a different form of space and time, near the 76 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 3: shining presence of the Almighty, the accuser Satan appeared before 77 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 3: the Lord. From Where have you come? God asked. The 78 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 3: two did not stand as equals. Satan was allowed to live, 79 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 3: but only under the permission of God. I have traveled 80 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 3: to and fro on the earth, seeking who may be 81 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 3: led astray. Satan said. His tone was slithery and his 82 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 3: countenance was bitter. He looked at God with equal reverence 83 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 3: and hatred. The Lord spoke, saying, have you seen my 84 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 3: servant Job. There is none like him. He fears me, 85 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: turns away from evil, and walks blamelessly before his peers. 86 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: God's voice was elated with pride as he spoke of 87 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 3: his beloved Job. It made Satan rise where he stood. 88 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: You coddled Job like an infant. Satan snapped, there is 89 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: a hedge of protection over him miles wide. You blessed 90 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: his work, his possessions, and his family. Take it away 91 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: from him, and I promise he will curse you. God's 92 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 3: confidence in Job was unwavering. Do what you will to him. 93 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 3: I give you permission, only do not harm him. So 94 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 3: Satan departed from the presence of the Lord to descend 95 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 3: upon Job like a whirlwind. The day was drawing to 96 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 3: a close, and the sun was setting over the land 97 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 3: of Ooze. The warm summer breeze trickled in through the 98 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 3: home of Job's oldest son. The entire family was eating together, 99 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 3: enjoying music and laughter. The revelry continued, and the sound 100 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 3: of instruments and conversation drown out the noise of plunder 101 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 3: happening a few hundred yards away in Job's fields. A 102 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 3: neighboring village swooped in and raided the live stock and 103 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 3: killed the servant with the edge of their swords. The 104 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 3: bellows of stolen livestock and swords being driven through servants 105 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 3: chests were drowned out by Job's laughter. A servant came 106 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: to tell Job of all that was taking place, so 107 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: Job left with his servant to go to the barn. 108 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: As they were running, another servant came and said, the 109 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: fire of God fell from heaven. Your sheep and servants 110 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 3: were consumed in the pasture by a great wildfire. Job's 111 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 3: mind was beginning to unravel. He began to run towards 112 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: the pastures, where he heard a clamoring in the distance. 113 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 3: My Lord, one of his servants, yelled. The servant was 114 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,559 Speaker 3: running from the western edge of Job's property. He fell 115 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: at Job's feet, out of breath, saying, the Chaldeans are here. 116 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 3: They have made a raid on your camels. I am 117 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: the only servant to survive. What is happening, Job thought 118 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: to himself. He paused for a moment, and the eastern 119 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: winds began to rage. Job could barely stand upright. The 120 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 3: wind howled violently, and Job and his servants ducked for 121 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 3: cover under a crack in the hill near the pastures. 122 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 3: Job heard a mighty crash in the distance, followed by screaming. Then, 123 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 3: just as quickly as the wind had come, it vanished. 124 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: Job could hear one single faint scream in the distance. 125 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: He and his servants looked up from under the rocks 126 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: to see another servant running towards them. Job knew in 127 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 3: his heart what the man was going to say. Job 128 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 3: fell to his knees as the servant grew closer. Everything 129 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 3: slowed down for a moment. The servant's voice was muffled 130 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 3: in his ear. Lord, Job did not respond, my lord, 131 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: The servant yelled again. Job looked up. A great wind 132 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: just came in from the wilderness. It must have toppled 133 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 3: a beam in your son's house. I am sorry, but 134 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 3: they are all gone. Job did not respond to his servant. Instead, 135 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 3: he walked away, back towards his home. He walked a 136 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: few hundred yards, then fell on to his knees again. 137 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: Job's tears released like a damn breaking. He yelled, tore 138 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 3: his shirt and drove his face into the ground. Job 139 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: was weeping, but there was no bitterness behind his tears. 140 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 3: His face lifted towards heaven as he said, I came 141 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: to this world with nothing naked naked, I shall return 142 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: the Lord gave, and now the Lord is taken away. 143 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: Blessed be your mighty name, O God. Job stretched his 144 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 3: arms to Heaven. His tears streamed down his face as 145 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 3: he praised God. Job's wife watched him from a distance 146 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 3: from their home, stewing in grief and bitterness. 147 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: She hated him for his joy. 148 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: Job's joy was complete in God. However, he was not 149 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: without grief. Job felt the loss deeply, and his heart 150 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 3: was shattered into millions of pieces. The next day, Job 151 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: stood over the wreckage of his children. Ash from the 152 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: burnt fields made the sky doc His family, riches and 153 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 3: property was destroyed. Dried tears and dirt caped his face 154 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 3: as he stared at his dead children. Job resolved in 155 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 3: his heart to not blame God, rather press into him 156 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 3: his faith would be tested even further. 157 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 4: We opened our reading today in God's Word in a 158 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 4: place called us, and we meet a man by the 159 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 4: name of Job. He is the patriarch of a great 160 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 4: and wealthy family, and he has lived righteously before the Lord, 161 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,239 Speaker 4: and God has blessed him immensely. The riches and blessings 162 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 4: upon his life was a clear sign of God's favor 163 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 4: and blessing upon him. Job was a devoted husband, a 164 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 4: loving father, and a godly leader in his family and 165 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 4: in the community. He led his family in life and 166 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 4: in the worship of God, offering sacrifices as a priest 167 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 4: for his own family. His devoutness and closest to God 168 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 4: was visible to all. He knew God well, and yes, 169 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 4: God knew him by name. So here's the story. It happened. 170 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 4: One day Satan, the accuser of the Brothers, appears before God. 171 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 4: We often think of Satan as being banished from God's presence, 172 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 4: but God may allow Satan to come near him at 173 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 4: his own request. We also know that Satan is not 174 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 4: banished to Hell in this epoch of history, but rather 175 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 4: he is alive and well and living on planet Earth. 176 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 4: As Satan and God converse, God brings up Job, his servant, 177 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 4: his righteous service, a man that fears God and turns 178 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 4: away from evil. But Satan, the accuser, claims that Job 179 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 4: only fears God because God has blessed him. God has 180 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 4: given him everything, and that's why he loves God. He 181 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 4: is so bold. Satan is to challenge God, saying, if 182 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,479 Speaker 4: you took everything away from him, he would curse God. 183 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 4: God knows that Job's faithfulness is real. We give Satan 184 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 4: permission to do as he will with Job. There was 185 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 4: one condition, and that he leaves the man himself alone. 186 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 4: But beyond that he could attack Job. Satan leaves intent 187 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: on embarrassing God and destroying his most favorite servant. Job 188 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 4: has no idea what is about to happen. And then 189 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 4: out of nowhere, it seems Job's whirl crumbles beneath his feet. 190 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 4: Servants run to Job from every corner of his property 191 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 4: and speak of one tragedy after another. His livestock, his servants, property, 192 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 4: all destroyed, are taken away. Then the greatest tragedy of 193 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 4: all comes his own children. All ten of them have died. 194 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 4: Job responds, like you and me, with an outward emotional 195 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 4: display of intense grief. He tears at his clothing, he 196 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 4: shaves his head. He is broken, a man who seemingly 197 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 4: has lost nearly everything in the span of one single 198 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 4: terrible day. But then I want you to see what 199 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 4: Job says in chapter one of the Book of Job, 200 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 4: Verses twenty and twenty one. He fell on the ground 201 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 4: and worshiped, and he said, naked I came from my 202 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 4: mother's womb, and naked, shall I return? The Lord gave 203 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 4: and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name 204 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 4: of the Lord. What a testimony. Whatever happens, blessed be 205 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 4: the name of the Lord. The story of Job is 206 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 4: a difficult one to understand at times, but in the 207 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 4: midst of his tragedy, he exhibited the most extreme kind 208 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 4: of faith. It's the testimony of a man who knew 209 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 4: that God is sovereign over all things and can be 210 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 4: trusted no matter what. Job's first response was one of 211 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 4: intense grief and sadness, and yet in the midst of 212 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 4: all the ten he worshiped God. He looked to God 213 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 4: for strength. God had given him everything he had. God 214 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 4: could choose to take it away, and he has. But 215 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 4: in the midst of it he praised God. It shows 216 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 4: that Job's love for God wasn't dependent upon the things 217 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 4: that he had, his possessions, or his blessings, but his 218 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 4: love for God, his faith in God, was true and steadfast. 219 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 4: Dear God, may we, like Job, worship You in every 220 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 4: circumstance of life, through the tears of tragedy or through 221 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 4: the joys of success. We know that you are worthy 222 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 4: of all praise, and all honor and all blessing. We 223 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 4: can say, no matter what we face, blessed be the 224 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 4: name of the Lord. And it is in this name 225 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 4: that is above every name, the name of Jesus, that 226 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 4: we pray. Amen.
