Scripture Sunday: Wrapping Up Job

You’d think I would have given up on regularly scheduled programming after all the years of producing this, but I persist. Today we are finishing the book of Job, and I think that there couldn’t be a more appropriate time to think about such a book than during the time leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday.

I’ll get into that more in the upcoming Spurgeon Audio episode which, God willing, will be going up tomorrow. In the meantime, do you have ideas for the next book you’d like to hear read? If so, please comment here or drop me a line!

“I know that my redeemer lives.” These are the words of Job we hear in this passage that ring through the millenia into today, and that Christians everywhere echo in their times of suffering and doubt.

Listen in and be sure to listen to the companion sermon series on Spurgeon Audio as we dig into the deeper questions raised by Job and his friends.

Scripture Sunday: Job 7 thru 9

Listen here or subscribe on your favorite podcast app

We are continuing through the book of Job, as we see Job’s lament and frustration with his suffering rising. His friends continue to insist that he must have sinned in a way to anger God and bring evil on himself, yet Job insists that’s not the case.

Have you experienced this in your own life? How have you worked through it? Please leave comments or feel free to email and we will pray for and encourage you. As we continue through Job both here and on Spurgeon Audio, we will try our best to wrestle through this question we all wrestle with: why do bad things happen to those who don’t seem to deserve any of it?

If you like this translation you can purchase your own CSB Spurgeon study bible.

Scripture Sunday – Job 4 thru 6

Listen here or subscribe in your favorite podcast app

We are continuing through the book of Job, in preparation for the next Spurgeon Audio series in the same book. Job’s friends are beginning to try to help him reason out why he has been suffering, saying that he surely must have done something against God. Job in turn expresses frustration and confusion because he would love to accept God’s correction – if he knew what he did!

This book is a picture of the difficult balance between understanding how God can be sovereign and good, and why evil seems to continue so successfully in our world. This is not a simple or easy question, or one that can be brushed off, and we ought to wrestle with it just as deeply. Listen along and please consider supporting our podcast on Patreon.

Scripture Sunday – Job 1 thru 3

Listen here or on your favorite podcast app

We are getting Scripture Sunday restarted! Every Sunday afternoon there will be livestreamed Scripture reading on the Kings Way Talk Facebook page, and I will repost it here afterwards on the podcast feed.

Since the upcoming Spurgeon Audio series will be out of the book of Job, we are going to spend the next few weeks going through that book as well. I hope you will join me in reading and praying through this challenging text as we get ready for the upcoming sermon series as well.

If you like the version I’m reading from, you can buy your own copy of the Spurgeon CSB study Bible.

Scripture Sunday: The Mercy of God (Genesis 4 – 6)

Listen here or subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, or your favorite podcast catcher.

When we think about God’s mercy being shown, usually we look to passages in the gospels where Jesus is speaking gently to sinners, or the didactic teachings of the apostles clearly speaking on God’s great mercy and grace. But in reading today’s selection for Scripture Sunday, I want to point out that God’s mercy is shown even in these early Old Testament passages. So many people deserved to be destroyed, but were blessed with prosperity and family. And most clearly, God’s mercy is seen in His saving of life on Earth in the face of impending judgment through His command to Noah to build the ark–an early image of Christ and His role as the one in whom all are to be saved from final judgment.
