I’d like to personally invite you to come out and join us tonight @ 6:30 pm, right here at CCB for our weekly inductive book of Job study. Tonight we’ll be studying chapter 1:6-22. Along with our study we’ll be interactively answering these questions:
1. What indications are there that God’s evaluation of Job-“blameless and upright”-was correct even though he was initially blessed with prosperity?
2. In this very ancient document, Satan appears as an angelic adversary with free access to God’s presence, unlike the devil in the New Testament. What does Satan accuse Job of (vv. 9-11)?
3. For what good reasons could God agree to a contest that would affect Job and his family so painfully?
4. How would you respond to someone who charges that religion is only for those who can’t make it on their own?
5. Though Job apparently is unaware of God’s approval, what signs indicate that this is important for Job?
6. How does Job react to the first test (vv. 20-22)?
7. In what ways is Job’s response (v. 22) different from responses people make today to life’s hard blows?
8. As will be apparent later, Job’s response included questioning God about the apparent injustice of his situation. What would have been seen as sinful behavior in Job’s reaction?
Have any great insigthts? Come and join us tonight as we grow together in the study of this wonderful book! God bless!
