Job - Audio Session 3

Job: A Story of Unlikely Joy – Audio Session 3 (for individual listening) by Lisa Harper is the Session 3 individual, downloadable audio session.

Joy is the constant companion of the woman who trusts in the Lord. And while you can find it in friends, family, and circumstances, unfailing, persistent joy will only ever overflow from your relationship with Jesus.

Just ask Job, the man from Uz who clung to God’s goodness while all his worldly joys were stripped away.

But how is it possible to hold onto such joy in times of sorrow?

In this 7-session study, discover the redemptive facet of Job’s suffering. Learn to view pain as a way to strengthen your faith, point others to the gospel, and trust in the Lord. Because His providence will never take you to a place where His grace will not sustain you.

Session 3: (42:32)—In the first part of Session 3, we get a look into the reaction of Job's friends to his suffering. Initially they were good comforters, but after Job expressed his pain, they became harsh and critical. In the second part of the video, Lisa points out from Job 13-14 Job's continued faith and hope in God despite his circumstances.
