The Book of Job brings us face-to-face with the difficult truth of God's absolute sovereignty over both the good and the evil we experience. When severe adversity strikes, it is natural to ask "why?" Instead, this sermon challenges us to ask how we can use our suffering to bring God glory. We also look at Satan's role as a legalistic "prosecuting attorney" who operates on a transactional "skin for skin" worldview, using painful trials as a sting operation to tempt believers to curse God.
