One Thing Remains
Brian Fletcher
Job 1:6-12; 1:13-22; 2:7-10; 38:1-7; 42:1-6
Intro Comments: I started by worshiping my way out but then I started eating my way out of the Covid Crisis!
Read passages from Job.
Intro: So many things have been stripped away from us.
We can't go anywhere without wearing a mask
We just can't go certain places, like to see our grandma and grandpa in nursing homes, or family and friends in hospitals.
Some of our loved ones have died
In-person school has been taken away
Workplaces have been shut down and we are told to work from home.
Travel? Nope
Vacation? Nope
Graduations have been cancelled
and the list goes on and on...
But it's not just our community, it is the entire planet. So the big question is...
''What is God doing?''
I assume several things but one thing is for sure that God wants us to understand and sit up and take notice is this: when everything is stripped away all that remains is...GOD
Life started with God. Life will end with God and God will be exalted in between. Nothing else is more important, nothing else is of greater value, nothing else is of more significance than GOD.
So as we navigate through the changing tides of each day I want us to focus on 3 characteristics of God that can impact every aspect of your life, every day. I want you to go from desperation to hope, from despondency to joy, from confusion to certainty. To do this I want to look at the book of Job. A man who I think suffered in greater ways than any of us. But also revealed a God who cared deeply for him.
1. God is sovereign (Job 1:6-12)
2. God does not change (Job 1:13-22; 2:7-10)
3. God is present with you (Job 38:1-7; 42:1-6)
1. God is Sovereign (Job 1:6-12)
Job 1 pulls back the curtain if you will of a conversation that God has with satan. Satan is interested in pulling Job away from God but he knows he has to ask for God's permission first. God is in control, not Satan and God will oversee all that S ...
