Week 4

The book of Job attacks the idea that good things happen to good people, and bad things happen to bad people. This book will answer the question: how should God’s people respond to evil and suffering?

Week 4: Day 1
Today’s reading is Job 1-5

Actions:
-If you are suffering today, express to God your trust in him in the midst of your suffering.
-If you know someone who is suffering, pray that this person will trust God and draw closer to him in their suffering.

Week 4 | Day 2

Ask Pastor John

By Q&A

ACCESS: This video is in English with the addition of American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and English captions.

 

 

This is a great Q & A with John Piper discussing what you should expect your first time reading through the entire Bible.

For the original article, check it out here HERE.

 

He will explain several positives and negatives to taking on such an important task, as detailed below.

Bible Reading Is Intimidating
1) Expect opposition
2) Expect to be shocked
3) Expect to be confused
a. God conceals many things that we’d like to know.
b. What he has revealed is often hard to understand.
c. Christ has given teachers to the church.

Nine Blessings to Expect from the Bible
1) Expect your faith to be deepened and strengthened.
2) Expect God to do serious, liberating work in your life.
3) Expect new power in war with Satan.
4) Expect a deep, sanctifying work in your life.
5) Expect to become a more loving person to those around you.
6) Expect that even though you are now saved in a decisive way, you’re going to go on being saved by the Scriptures.
7) Expect joy – great joy, unshakable joy – that the world does not know.
8) Expect to meet God.
9) Expect to see the glory of Christ.

Week 3 Day 7

Week 3: Day 7

What a great week of readings!

The two main characters we learned about were Jacob and Joseph. However, above all else we
saw firsthand the providence of a good God despite the worst of human treachery.
