Grace Finds Expression In Prayer
Believers have something that the unbeliever wants (although they might not know it!).
God’s ear!
As the book of Job comes to a close there is an intriguing twist. God rebukes Job’s three unhelpful friends and sends them back to Job with their tails between their legs.

Testimony
How were vampire movies and comic books involved in Darren’s journey to faith in Jesus?
“God first revealed Himself to me when I was ten years old. I was having trouble sleeping after watching a scary vampire movie, so my mother read Psalm 23 to me—’though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil’. I was instantly calmed by these words.
Fear of the LORD
What does it mean to ‘fear the Lord’?
Job 28:28 is the first time Job hears the words of God in this long and heavy book. Job has suffered greatly, more than what most could imagine, and finally God speaks. And he says ‘The fear of the Lord – that is wisdom’. Thanks!

Sending and Psalm 4
It seems counter cultural to work really hard to call people to Christ, build them in faith, grow a body of believers – only to then send them away!
Over the last few weeks we have done both.
Suffering and the Saint
In Job Chapters 1-2 we get to peak in on a conversation between God and Satan.
God: Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.
Satan (my paraphrase): Of course he is going to be blameless and upright – you protect him and his household and you bless him – if you weren’t so protective he would curse you to your face!
What a cynic. It is so easy to think the worse of someone instead of the best! (notably – a pattern we always see in Satan!)
But does he have a point?!
