In Spirit & Truth

During Pastor JD's recent trip to Israel, he was able to stand in places that will be center stage at Christ's return. He'll use conversations from his journey as well as current events and Biblical evidence to share exactly what's going on in the world and how close this great event likely is. Jesus is going to come back – are you ready to meet Him?

Jobs wife told him to “curse God and die”. Pastor JD teaches us, that though this was in fact a plea from a loving wife trying to end her husbands suffering, it was also sinful. Those of us in wedlock must be certain to place God first always. If we don't, we risk asking the wrong thing of our spouses even though it was done with the best of intentions.

No matter how hard a trial we go through in life may be, we can rest assured that it is a trial which God has allowed. Pastor JD tells us that this means that God is with us in all trials and that as such, we are capable of overcoming them all. Not only that, but it is likely that we will come out as stronger and better people who have learned to trust God more. 

Our response to suffering reveals much about our heart attitude. Do we feel wronged, angry, or as if an injustice has been done toward us? Job’s response to immense loss is one of humility and worship, as we’ll learn from Pastor JD today. Job understood that all he had, including his own life, was a gift from God, and we would do well to do the same.

We can take heart from the example of Job because it shows Satan can only do to God’s children what God allows. And what He allows will only be permitted if it is ultimately for our good and His glory, as we’ll hear from Pastor JD today. If you’re in the middle of a really hard time, find comfort in God’s sovereignty and His protection over you.
