As Job continues his speech in response to Zophar, Job continues to cry out to God. Job knows his life is short; why is God paying so much attention to him? Job sees more hope for a tree that has been cut down than for himself. #SharperIron bit.ly/3UFkJyz

Eliphaz begins his second speech to Job by accusing Job of spouting off wisdom no better than the wind. Although Eliphaz is convinced Job knows neither the fear nor the council of God, Eliphaz believes he does know such wisdom. #SharperIron bit.ly/47Uttnx

Job continues his response to Zophar, saying that he is aware of the things Zophar has said. What Job desires is an audience before God in the heavenly courtroom. Tune in as we open up Job 13 on #SharperIron bit.ly/4BA8xQp

Rev. Timothy Appel gives a sermon based on John 15:17-21. bit.ly/4inc1g1

Job’s third friend, Zophar, takes his first turn to speak. Zophar notes that Job has spoken many words, but Zophar reminds Job that doesn’t mean Job is correct. Zophar questions Job’s claim to be pure and states that Job actually deserves worse punishment. bit.ly/4A1zomL

In response to Zophar, Job begins his longest speech so far. He sarcastically replies that his friends must be the only wise men around while Job remains a laughingstock. Yet Job counters that even the animals can see through the folly of his friends. bit.ly/4sIfsTp

As Job responds to Bildad, Job knows that God is just—but he wonders how many can be just before God. Job knows that God will win in a fight every time, and that is what Job feels God is doing against him at this very moment. #SharperIron bit.ly/47L52c0

Job’s complaint again turns freely toward God. He asks God why He oppresses the work of His hands as if He is seeking out the guilt of Job. Job sees no deliverance from the almighty hand of God. #SharperIron bit.ly/3UNHSPk

Job responds to Eliphaz. Job’s suffering is real, and his suffering is heavy. Job has no strength of his own remaining, and now his “friends” have proven themselves treacherous. #SharperIron bit.ly/4iAsJda

Job’s complaint continues. He compares himself to a slave who works all day yet receives no payment for his labor other than sleepless nights. He turns directly to God with his lament. #SharperIron bit.ly/4BwN8rh

After seven days of silence with his friends, Job speaks first. With vivid imagery, he curses the day of his birth and says it would be better if he were now dead. Yet this is not a despairing desire for death. Tune in for Job 3! Listen here⬇️ #SharperIron bit.ly/4yTJkyl
