Job 32:1-33:30
You don’t have to be old to be wise. Today on the Bible Bus, meet Elihu, a young guy in the crowd who decided to speak up. While Elihu’s view of God is more accurate than the others’, he’s still a little off. Listen in to see what he has to say.
Job 31:1-32:3
A broken spirit can be a strong spirit. Job put up a good fight against his friends’ accusations. He did a great job defending his own honor. But what for? He still didn’t find the answer he was looking for. His pride blinded him to the reality that even the “good people” of the world must repent before God. Today, discover how humility and weakness ultimately point us to God’s strength.
Job 29:1-30:31
God’s love doesn’t change with your circumstances. In Job 29 and 30, we see Job’s pride revealed. He reminisces about the “days of his prime,” when he hadn’t faced so many troubles. Job was a stand-up citizen—respected, righteous, and kind. Follow along as Dr. McGee encourages us to not blame God for suffering but rather trust that He loves us, even when circumstances change.
Job 26:7-28:22
Get ready for a poetry reading. In these next few chapters, Job pours out his heart in beautiful poetry. He reveals his understanding of God as Creator and Redeemer, but he has yet to know God as Sustainer and Author of salvation. In Job 28, discover the power and the beauty of creation, the depth of Job’s knowledge, and the true meaning of wisdom.
Job 24:1-26:7
It’s okay to admit that you don’t have all the answers. Today on the Bible Bus, Bildad asks an important question: “How can man be clean in God’s sight?” While they didn’t have an answer to this question in Job’s day and age, we can find comfort in knowing today that Jesus is the answer.
Job 22:1-23:12
Look for God, and you’ll find Him. Although Job didn’t fully understand God yet, he expressed a longing to be in His presence. Because of his desire to know God, a glimmer of light breaks through Job’s dull, colorless world. Will Job find an explanation for his suffering? Or better yet—will he find God? Listen up.
Job 20:1-22:2
God doesn’t want us to run in circles; He wants us to walk with Him. Eliphaz, Zophar, and Bildad keep accusing Job of the same things, only they get harsher each time around. Determined to defend himself, Job’s language gets stronger, too. None of them truly know and understand God. In studying these chapters, we learn that the only way to break free from circular reasoning is to get to know God in His Word.
Job 18:1-20:3
Have you heard of “the song that never ends”? What about the argument that never ends? Today on the Bible Bus, witness a stand-off between Job and his friends—again. While they could all build a good case for their debate, they didn’t know God well enough to come to the right conclusions about Him. The result? An argument that just kept going in circles.
Job 16:1-17:16
Being kind is more important than being right. Unfortunately, Job’s friends valued being correct more than comforting Job in his time of need. In vivid language, Job rebukes his friends for the way they treat him and tries to justify himself and say God is wrong for allowing his suffering. Follow along as Dr. McGee teaches us how each of these men, including Job, had a wrong view of God.
Job 13:1-15:35
You can always trust God’s plan, even if you don’t understand it. He has a better purpose and design for our lives than we could ever imagine. When Job doesn’t understand God’s plan, he cries out to Him in prayer. Dr. McGee teaches, “The primary purpose of prayer is not to change God, but to change us.” In today’s lesson, listen in and learn from Job’s candid conversation with God.
