Today, Pastor Dennis continues our exploration of how we respond to those experiencing deep suffering and uncomfortable laments. We examine Bildad's (Job’s second friend) well-intentioned but ultimately unhelpful approach to Job's pain and considered how we might better support those in distress. The sermon challenges us to reconsider how we offer comfort and theological truths, emphasizing the importance of relationship and compassion over mere words.

Once blessed and blameless, Job now curses the day of his birth, questioning God’s goodness while clinging to his innocence. We explore how lament gives voice to deep suffering, why Job’s friends’ silent presence mattered, and how the church today must learn to hold space for grief as well as joy.

In the depths of our darkest moments, when those we love are suffering, we often find ourselves grappling with a profound question: Where is God? This question runs deep in human experience from ancient times to our present day. It's a question that demands our attention, not just for theological discourse, but for the very real and raw moments when pain seems to overshadow everything else.

Pastor Cory explores the importance of prayer in our lives. Delving into Luke 11:1-13, he examines Jesus' teachings on prayer through the Lord's Prayer and the parable of the persistent friend. Prayer is not just about making requests, it's about building a relationship with our Heavenly Father, waiting in his presence, aligning ourselves with His kingdom purposes, and being persistent as we seek Him.

Life often throws us curveballs that leave us reeling, questioning everything we thought we knew about God and His goodness. In these moments, it's tempting to rush past the pain, seeking quick resolutions and easy answers. But what if there's value in slowing down and sitting with our discomfort? What if God has something to teach us in the midst of our suffering?
