Suffering Is Painful…
I’ve spent this week writing a sermon on Job 1. I planned the series in Job at the beginning of the year and have been in preparation for it for years.

No leaves in sight. No sign of life to the uneducated eye. All because in autumn the shears cameContinue reading “Shears in the Hands Of A Good God”
