A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Job has been proclaiming the need for faithfulness when suffering. In Job 28 we see Job proclaiming to anyone who will listen that the fear of the Lord is wisdom. Turning away from evil is understanding (cf. Job 28:28). The friends of Job believed they had come to Job with wisdom to comfort and correct […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We are going to look at the final lament of this book. Please open your copies of God’s word to Lamentations 5. As you are turning to the final lamentation, I want to remind of us the grief journey Jeremiah has taken his people through. Lamentations 1 encouraged the people to honestly express to the […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. There is a section in the book of Job in which we see Job moving away from arguing with his friends. We might falsely over summarize the book and think that the middle is just Job and his friends arguing with each other. But the discourses with each other end in chapter 27. Each of […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Why doesn’t the book of Lamentations end with Lamentations 3? Why not end on the high note of Lamentations 3? Why not stop at Lamentations 3:22-23? The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness! Why can’t we end on […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We have been looking at the suffering of Job. We have noted that his suffering and pain have been extraordinary. Further, Job’s friends have come to comfort and show sympathy to Job. But rather than succeeding, they have been miserable comforters to him. We have also noticed that Job’s suffering has caused him to feel […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Lamentations 3 is a description on how to have hope while grieving. Jeremiah and the people of Judah are grieving and broken over the destruction of Jerusalem. It is a time of shock, loss, and anguish. We have seen in our study of Lamentations that grief is not a straight line. We saw the prophet […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The purpose of Job’s three friends coming to see Job was to offer him comfort and sympathy (cf. Job 2:11). The friends have had many things to say to Job by the time we come to Job 16. Job has not found his friends to sympathizers or comforters. Listen to what Job says: Then Job […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. There is a temptation when reading or studying the book of Job to want to get to the end of the book. We are people who just want to get to the bottom line. We will be tempted to cut out the middle of this book and run to chapter 38 where God shows us […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We have been moving through the book of Lamentations looking at how the author of this book is teaching the people to grieve their suffering. Jerusalem has been destroyed. God had given the people over to the Babylonians because of their sinning against him. Even Jeremiah himself is having difficulties processing what he is seeing […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Job has lost everything. Job has lost his possessions and wealth. Job has lost his way of life. Job has lost his ten children. Job has lost his health. Satan has taken Job to the edge of his life, yet Job still breathes. Job’s wife has told Job that if God is not going to […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The book of Leviticus ends with hopeful instructions for the people. The message of Leviticus has been the message of holiness and atonement. God is holy and the people must therefore be holy. God will make the people holy through atonement and by giving them instructions to follow so that they can remain in fellowship […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The book of Leviticus is the manual for knowing how we can remain in fellowship with God. God has come down and the glory of the Lord has filled the tabernacle (Exodus 40). Now that God is among his people, directions must be given for how the people can dwell with him without being consumed […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The book of Lamentations takes the reader on a journey of grief. In our last lesson we introduced the concept that the people of God are frequently pictured as expressing their grief. More than one-third of the Psalms are considered psalms of lament and grief. The book of Lamentations contains five poems proclaiming grief on […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. How bad can your life get before you would challenge God and give up on him? How bad does the trial have to be before it would cause you to break? Satan is attempting to find out what it takes to break Job and his faith. We could read the first chapter of the book […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Please open your copies of God’s word to Job 1. In our message last week we notice the question of suffering. The question of suffering regards your motivation for serving God. Suffering asks the question if we serve God for God or if we have ulterior motives. Suffering shows if we serve God for his […]
