  1. Job’s Comforters Pastor Fonda Hinkle September 29, 2013

  2. Job Is An Upright Man Job 1:1  There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil. 

  3. Satan Comes Before God 1:6Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. 7 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”

  4. God Points Out Job 1:8Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?”

  5. Satan Complains 1:9So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side?

  6. God’s Answer To Satan 1:12And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.”

  7. Job Loses His Property and Children 1:13 Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house; 14 and a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them,

  8. Job Loses His Property and Children 1:15when the Sabeansraided them and took them away—indeed they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

  9. Job Loses His Property and Children 1:16While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

  10. Job Loses His Property and Children 1:17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

  11. Job Loses His Property and Children 1: 18 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 19 and suddenly a great wind came from acrossthe wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

  12. Job Loses His Property and Children 1:20 Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped.  21 And he said:

  13. Job Loses His Property and Children “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. TheLord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.” 22In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.

  14. Satan Goes To God Again 2 :3Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause.”

  15. Satan Goes To God Again 2:4So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely curse You to Your face!” 6And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”

  16. Job Receives “Comforters” 2:11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment

  17. Job Receives “Comforters” together to come and Mourn with him, and to comfort him . 12 And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven.

  18. Job Receives “Comforters” 2:13 So they sat Down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

  19. Accusations!

  20. God Speaks! 38:1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: 2 “Who is this who darkens counsel By words without knowledge? 3 Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me.

  21. Job Answers and God Speaks Again! 42:1Then Job answered the Lord and said: 2“I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.3 You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

  22. Job Answers and God Speaks Again! Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. 4Listen, please, and let me speak; You said, ‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’ 5“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You. 6Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.”

  23. Job Answers and God Speaks Again! 7And so it was, after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that theLord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has. 

  24. Job Answers and God Speaks Again! 8Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”

  25. Reasons For Suffering • Suffering Makes Us Like Christ 1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

  26. Reasons For Suffering • To Become An Example To Others 1 Thessalonians 1:6-7 6 And you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit, 7 so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.

  27. Reasons For Suffering • To Prepare Us For The Kingdom 2 Timothy 2:12 If we endure,We shall also reign with Him.If we deny Him,He also will deny us.

  28. Humble Yourselves Before God • Humility Cures Worldliness James 4:7-10 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

  29. Do Not Judge Your Brother James 4:11-12 Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.12 There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?

  30. Bear One Another’s Burdens Galatians 6:2 2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
