"The Mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous round …
Plead My Cause…
"Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. For Thou art the God of my strength: why dost Thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? O send out Thy light and Thy truth: let …
January 03, 2017 Sermon Outline
Observation of the Righteous Job 4:1 - 7:21 Eliphaz was a man of observation. He makes his judgments upon Job by what he has observed in the "spiritual experience" of others. Note the "...Even as I have seen..." of verse 8. The God Eliphaz worshiped was an inflexible lawgiver. His theology left little to no …
…Trust in the LORD, and Do Good…
"Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in …
The LORD Brings the Counsel of Men to Nothing
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto Him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. For the word of the LORD is right; and all His works …

Light and Salvation
"The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my …
I Did Not Understand
"Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that Thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from Thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech thee, and I …
…He is Excellent in Power…
"Touching the Almighty, we cannot find Him out: He is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: He will not afflict. Men do therefore fear Him: He respecteth not any that are wise of heart." Job 37:23-24 (KJV) The three friends of Job have spoken. Job has finished his speaking. Now …
…That the Almighty Would Answer Me…
"Oh that one would hear me! Behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine Adversary had written a book. Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me. I would declare unto Him the number of my steps; as a prince would I …
Dealing With Suffering
This is from Sunday morning's sermon (January 01, 2017). Job 1:6-19 Job was one man who suffered more than most of us do. He was known of by the prophet Ezekiel. He was spoken of by James the half brother of Jesus in the book of James. Job lost all that he possessed; including all …
When We Come Forth as Gold
First of all I pray all who come here will have a Blessed, HAPPY NEW YEAR. Secondly, my reason for reposting these studies in Job - today at Shiloah Baptist Church I will begin preaching messages in the book of Job; a total of about eight, weather permitting and God willing - through this first …
My Redeemer Lives
"For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed …
To Plead for a Neighbor
"O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!" Job 16:21 (KJV) Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar had come to Job with good intentions. Their silence for those first seven days was more comforting, caring, and supportive than any of the words they spoke thereafter. Job even states …
Dying to Live Again
"If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou shalt call, and I will answer Thee: Thou wilt have a desire to the work of Thine hands." Job 14:14-15 (KJV) Reading Job 11 - 14 I find myself laughing. Laughing at …
How Should We Be Just With God?
"I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? If he will contend with Him, he cannot answer Him one of a thousand. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against Him, and hath prospered?" Job 9:2-4 (KJV) Remember Job's three friends …
