Asking God, "Why?" - The Book of Job

Sundays (Starting September 7) at 8:45 am

“Why, God, Why?”

How many times you asked that question when going through suffering, pain or loss?

In this study we will look at the life of Job, a man who suffers immense loss and pain—his family, health, and wealth are stripped away without explanation. Throughout the book, Job cries out to God, repeatedly asking why he, an innocent man, is suffering. His friends insist he must have sinned, but Job maintains his integrity and continues to seek answers from God. What is God’s response? Come and find out!

This class won’t offer a neat answer to the question "Why do we suffer?" but it will invite you to look into God’s Word and trust God's wisdom, even when His reasons remain hidden. Having Christian faith doesn’t mean having all the answers—it means holding onto God even when you don’t and knowing God will give you the trust you need.

What you will learn:

Job’s honest questions and cries show that faith doesn't mean suppressing pain or pretending everything is fine. It’s ok to ask why. God can handle our doubts and emotions, promising His grace. This study will encourage you as you face the trials of life, as well build your faith in Jesus so that you can have peace.

What you will take home:

Equipped with God’s Word, you will be able to address the “why God?” question in faith, and help others who going through hard times.

                 The class will be taught by Pastor Joel T. Sauer. Class will meet in the Social Hall at St. Peter's.

Class starts on Sunday, September 7 at 8:45am (conveniently scheduled in between our Sunday morning worship.) Drop off the kids at Sunday School, which meets at the same time, and join us!
