Job // Week 1 : Unexpected & Unexplained Suffering

About this episode

Pastor Josh Gatewood explores how we respond to unexpected and unexplained suffering in the opening message of a new series on the Book of Job.

In the opening message of a new summer series on the Book of Job, Pastor Josh Gatewood explores how we respond to unexpected and unexplained suffering. Through Job chapter 1, this sermon examines the tension between the brokenness of our world and the goodness of God, highlighting three essential truths: God’s sovereignty, the mystery of His ways, and the steadfast love of His heart. Whether you’re currently walking through hardship or preparing for future trials, this gospel-centered teaching reminds us that suffering is not meaningless and ultimately points us to Jesus, the better Job who suffered for us.
