Sermon – Salvation Through Judgement: The Message for God’s People (Is 46:8-47:11, 48:1-22)

Read the text – Isaiah 46:8-47:11, Isaiah 48:1-22

In this sermon series, ‘Will God Help his People?’, we worked through a few questions on struggle, pain, and loneliness when following God. This time, we will answer the question ‘Are you too comfortable?’. Nick Lindeback talks on worldly and Godly comfort, and what it means to be comfortable in God in a world set on material comforts.

Sermon – Wisdom Through Suffering (Job 28) – Where is Wisdom?

Read the text – Job 28:1-28

Job’s ‘comforters’ have become more like his ‘accusers’. Chapter 28 acts as an interlude where all are invited to lift their eyes from Job’s problems and the arguments which have bogged them down. The cost of the search for the most valuable things is worth it. Yet, Wisdom is the most valuable thing and the most difficult to find. God is the only source of true wisdom.

In this Bible Talk, Ken Noakes helps us to unlock the wisdom of the Book of Job. And in doing so helps the listener to lift their gaze from suffering and trying to figure things out for themselves to understanding that answers can only be found in God.
