Two miraculous healings are sandwiched together in this text. But one of these miracles brought a delay. It seemed like Jesus waited too long. But when circumstances say, “It’s over,” Jesus says, “Do not be afraid; only believe” (v. 36). Delays aren’t necessarily denials; sometimes they’re upgrades. I. A Desperate Father (vv. 21-24) II. A Determined Sufferer (vv. 25-34) III. A Delayed Answer (vv. 35-36) IV. A Different Procedure (vv. 37-43) Learn Your Bible: What voices in your life are currently telling you to be afraid, give up, or stop believing? Spend time in the Word and focus on giving greater weight to Jesus’ words than to fear, doubt, or despair. Love Your Neighbor: Is there someone in your community who may feel unseen, interrupted, or forgotten? Find one practical way you can treat them with dignity and compassion this week. Live in Freedom: What fear, disappointment, or “late” situation are you tempted to believe is beyond Jesus’ reach? Ask the Lord to help you surrender those things to Him.

In these chapters, we see Job at his lowest point. But God turned his greatest misery into his greatest ministry: A declaration that God, his Redeemer, lives. In this message from Pastor Skip Heitzig, we’re reminded that Jesus is the Redeemer who intercedes and provides assurance of our salvation because He lives.

In this message from Pastor Skip Heitzig, we encounter the false theology that suffering is always the result of sin through Job’s friends’ accusations. Job countered this ideology by pointing to this simple truth: Health and wealth are not a measure of one’s standing with God. God's invisibility doesn't make Him unavailable. In your hiding, sorrow, and pain, God sees you.

You can’t see the electromagnetic radio waves and microwaves that provide signal for your internet or cell phone, but they exist and they are very powerful. Likewise, there is an invisible world which affects life in the visible world. In this section of Scripture, those two worlds come to the forefront. We will consider four desires that are true simultaneously as seen in this story. I. Satan’s Desire to Ruin (vv. 1-7) II. Jesus’ Desire to Rescue (vv. 8-13) III. People’s Desire to Resist (vv. 14-17) IV. Heaven’s Desire to Reach Out (vv. 18-20) Learn Your Bible: How should these truths shape the way you prepare for spiritual warfare? Love Your Neighbor: This week, create a habit of covering your friends and family in prayer, interceding for them through every difficult circumstance and temptation. Live in Freedom: Ask the Lord to fill you with His Spirit and equip you to face the battles that come your way in this season.

Job affirmed God's absolute sovereignty and intricate design of human life yet honestly shared his confusion and pain. In this message, Pastor Skip Heitzig reminds us that, though Job had questions about death and the afterlife, we now have the answers in Jesus. If you don't know Christ, your best days are behind you; if you do, your best days are ahead, no matter the suffering this life may bring.
