Today, Pastor Karla preaches from Job 23 in which Job encounters the silence of God. At times in our own lives finding God’s presence feels impossible. Our assumptions about God often play a role in this absence.

Job's circumstances cause him to cry out to God for relief. Lament can be a faithful response to our life struggles.

We are taking a break from our study of the Book of Acts, and for the season of Lent, we are partaking on a journey into the Book of Job. This week, pastor Karla introduces us to the person of Job, and the circumstances of his life:

"As children, most of us are taught right from wrong. Most children learn the difference between right and wrong by the results of their behavior. If you do something good, you're rewarded; and if you do something bad, there's a consequence. This is instilled in us from a very young age, so it's no wonder that as we grow into adults that we expect those same, logical results from our Heavenly Parent."

But what happens when life doesn't follow that logical flow? Join us, as we explore this question of theodicy during the Lent season.

This week, Pastor Karla asks, "How do you change the world?" In exploring today's passage, we see how small actions applied at the right time in the right place can have cataclysmic effects on the people and world around us.

Events happen to us all the time that are meant for transformation. Living into the results of change, is the story yet to be written.

This week, we are taking a look at Acts 8:26-39. Pastor Karla delves into the story of Phillip's encounter with the Ethiopian Eunuch. Sometimes it may feel like we carry the world on our shoulders, but God is the one with the weight, and he desires us to help him lighten the load.
