Job 1-2, 38:1-7, 42:1-17 // Bill Gorman

Why do the righteous suffer? This sermon examines the life of Job, a man who lost everything yet refused to abandon his integrity. We walk through the moments where he confronted his grief and the specific instances where God spoke from the whirlwind, shifting the focus from Job’s pain to the vastness of the universe. Rather than providing simple answers to complex pain, these passages invite us to trust in a wisdom that far exceeds our own. The sermon concludes with a look at his restoration, highlighting how his perspective changed after he saw the lord with his own eyes.

2 Chronicles 12:1-12 // Bill Gorman

In this sermon, we walk through the account of Rehoboam’s abandonment of the faith and the subsequent arrival of the Egyptian army. We discuss the message from the prophet Shemaiah, which forced the leaders of Israel to recognize their own role in the crisis. We analyze the exchange of the golden shields for shields of bronze, illustrating how sin often results in a loss of glory and a cheapening of what was once precious. By studying these twelve verses, we see a pattern of grace: even after a period of unfaithfulness, God responds to a humble heart, reminding us that he does not seek to destroy us, but to bring us back into a right relationship with him.

I Kings 3:1-17 // Taylor Fair

This sermon covers the early reign of king Solomon and his humble encounter with God at Gibeon. Faced with the massive responsibility of leading a nation, Solomon recognizes his own limitations and asks for an understanding heart rather than wealth or long life. We look at the sincerity of his prayer and how his desire to discern between good and evil pleased the lord. This passage teaches us about the value of spiritual priorities and how God provides the tools necessary for the tasks he calls us to complete.
