This document provides an overview and objectives of an integrative study on the book of Job. It introduces the main characters in the book and discusses how each one had a different position on Job's suffering. It outlines the positions taken by Satan, Mrs. Job, Job's three friends (Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar), Elihu, and God. It also summarizes the exchanges between Job and his friends over multiple rounds of debates. Finally, it discusses how God responds by questioning Job and restoring him after Job repents.
The document provides an overview of wisdom literature and poetry in the Old Testament. It discusses the main wisdom books of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon. It explains that wisdom literature delves into questions about pain, God, wisdom, life, and love rather than advancing the story of Israel. It also describes the different genres of wisdom literature like proverbs, riddles, and discussions. Additionally, it gives background on the book of Job and examines questions it raises about the problem of suffering and God's justice.
Why does God allow the righteous to suffer? By examining the account of Job and wondering about the death of James, we find that although we may not know why we suffer, it is important for us to learn through it. We are reminded that suffering provides us an opportunity for our faith to grow, that we will all die, and we are encouraged to continue in prayer. (Parts of this lesson were borrowed from Darrel Yontz.)
The strange case of Job, poster child of the proverbially wiseMichael Scaman
- Job was a righteous man who feared God and shunned evil. He had a large family and possessions.
- Job suffered the loss of his possessions, children, and health. His friends argued this was due to hidden sin on Job's part, but Job maintained his innocence.
- Elihu, a new character, disagreed with both Job and his friends. He argued suffering is not always due to sin but can have other purposes, preparing the way for God's message.
The document discusses the philosophical problem of evil and various attempts throughout history to reconcile the existence of an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good God with the presence of evil and suffering in the world. It examines perspectives from Epicurus, early church fathers, and the biblical story of Job which questions God's justice in the face of injustice. The problem of evil remains one of the most challenging issues for monotheistic religions to address without diminishing God's divine attributes.
1) The passage discusses the eighth day after the ordination of Aaron and his sons as priests, seen as beginning their formal worship and duties after a period of transition.
2) It describes the first sacrifices performed by Aaron according to God's commands, including a purification offering by Aaron. God's presence appears after the offerings are consumed by divine fire.
3) The passage then describes the death of Nadab and Abihu for bringing unauthorized fire, seen as a sign of God's holiness, and Aaron's silence in response, emphasizing his commitment to his duties as high priest.
God directly intervened in many ways in the lives of people throughout Genesis, demonstrating His active involvement. Some of the ways He intervened included having fellowship, giving judgments and prophecies, blessing people, guiding them, enabling new births, and protecting them. His interactions show His attributes of providing, protecting, guiding, and discussing His plans. People are called to have faith, obedience, purity and patience in response. The Holy Spirit is portrayed as the giver and sustainer of life, an inspirer of talents, and a guide for leaders. Sensitivity to the Spirit draws people to God while hardness turns them away.
The document provides a summary and analysis of the biblical story of Job. It discusses how Job, a righteous man, suffers terrible losses and illness despite his faithfulness to God. His friends attempt to explain his suffering, but offer no real answers. God then confronts Job and overwhelms him with displays of God's power over nature. God suggests Job cannot understand divine plans. The story highlights how humans continually struggle to understand why good people suffer and addresses questions of justice, free will, and humanity's limited understanding of God.

This document provides discussion questions and notes for teaching a Sunday school lesson on 1 Kings 21, which tells the story of King Ahab coveting Naboth's vineyard. Some key points:
1) Naboth refuses to sell his vineyard to King Ahab, as the land was the inheritance of Naboth's fathers.
2) Ahab allows his power to be used for treachery, as Jezebel schemes to have Naboth falsely accused and killed so Ahab can seize the land.
3) The lesson warns that wanting what others have can get you into trouble, as Ahab's coveting led to injustice and judgment from God.

3. Reflections note that the Bible presents real people and their emotions, and encourage bringing questions to God with humility, as he understands our struggles.
Jacob wrestles with a divine being at the river crossing and prevails, earning a new name - Israel. This internal struggle prepares him to reconcile with Esau. Their encounter involves bowing, kissing, and Jacob offering gifts, signifying a partial reconciliation. Though life remains challenging, God's steady presence sustains Jacob as he builds an altar and receives restatement of the covenant. The names Jacob and Israel, and Ben-Oni and Benjamin, reflect the past and future. Isaac later dies, with both sons mourning and burying him, honoring the patriarch and looking ahead to the era of Joseph.

The introduction provides context on Woodworth-Etter's powerful and influential ministry pre-dating the Pentecostal movement and emphasis on healing, miracles, and spiritual gifts.
This document discusses living in divine prosperity through commitment to God over the world. It argues that many Christians try to live by both God's and the world's systems, but this does not work as you cannot serve two masters. The world is suffering financially but God has a higher way for his people above the struggles of the world. To receive God's blessings of prosperity, one must fully commit to God and his word over listening to the ways of the world. God wants his people to be free from financial bondage and hardship.

Elihu joins Job's friends in debating with him and attempts to make Job reflect on his supposed sin through a long speech. Elihu defends God's character in allowing Job's suffering, arguing that God is punishing Job for some hidden sin. However, the lesson notes there is a third party involved in Job's suffering - the devil was attacking Job to make him stop trusting God. Ultimately, there are many unanswered questions in Job's story, as there are things humans cannot understand about God's dealings. The main lesson is that believers must trust in God even when they don't understand His purposes.
The document provides a summary and analysis of the book of Job from the Bible. It discusses how Job loses his wealth, property, and children due to a wager between God and Satan about Job's loyalty. Job's friends accuse him of sinning, but Job insists on his innocence and wants to confront God directly to understand his suffering. The document aims to unpack the book's examination of God's character and how he uses his power in relation to humanity.
God speaks to Job out of a whirlwind to answer him. God questions who Job is to darken God's counsel with words spoken without knowledge. God challenges Job to prove his understanding by answering God's questions. The Lord's speech from the whirlwind humbles Job and convinces him that he does not fully comprehend God's wisdom or ways.
Job had all the qualifications (blameless, upright, fear – awe of God and turned away from evil) which gained him the eligibility for “recall” by the Lord. Satan is not the Tempter, we are ourselves to blame for our weaknesses and it is also one of our weaknesses to put blame on others.
This document summarizes the Old Testament Sunday School lessons for the next two weeks. It provides details on Lesson 32 titled "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth" and contact information for Daniel Burgess. The bulk of the document consists of quotes and summaries relating to the lesson on Job.
Eliphaz responds to Job's suffering by claiming innocents don't suffer and that Job must have sinned. While Eliphaz understands God's character, he fails to show compassion for Job's suffering. His words don't comfort Job and wrongly judge Job before his time. The lesson examines productive suffering and how God uses it to turn people to Him, though He doesn't cause suffering. It also discusses truths in Eliphaz's speech found throughout the Bible, despite their lack of application to Job's situation. Overall, the document analyzes Eliphaz's response to Job and how judgment without mercy can have serious consequences.
God asks Satan if he has considered Job, who is blameless, upright, fears God, and shuns evil. Satan incites God to destroy Job without cause. The document discusses how the Bible does not promise an easy life, but that suffering will come. It examines the book of Job, noting how God's purpose is greater than what we understand. God allows trials to come from outside forces, while temptations come from within. Through trials and temptations, one can learn to trust fully in God.
This document discusses God revealing himself to Job through a whirlwind and challenging questions about creation. It notes that God demands accountability from humans and wants them to rely on him rather than their own understanding. The document argues that all tests from God result in restoration and maturity, and that others will rejoice in seeing a person restored.
This document provides a summary of the Book of Job from the Bible. It discusses how Job was a righteous man who was tested by God by allowing Satan to take away his possessions and afflict his body with sickness. Through these hardships, Job maintained his faith in God and did not curse Him. The document then discusses how Job debated with his friends about his situation, and how Elihu later provided insight about how God communicates with humans through dreams and sickness to turn them away from evil. It analyzes the tests that Job underwent on spiritual and physical levels to maintain his integrity to God.
The document summarizes chapters 1 and 2 of the book of Job, which tell of Satan accusing God of bias towards Job and protecting him too much, and Job responding well to problems caused by the devil. It discusses Satan arguing that Job only worshipped God for material gain and protection, and would curse God if those things were removed. Even after great losses, Job remained faithful to God. The document compares Job's integrity to that of Adam, Jesus, and discusses how both Job and Jesus resisted Satan's temptations without sinning.
The document discusses the book of Habakkuk from the Bible. It summarizes that Habakkuk, a prophet, was distressed by the injustice and violence in Judah. When Habakkuk cried out to God for help, God responded that He would use the Babylonians to punish Judah for their sins. Habakkuk struggled to understand this unexpected answer from God. The document then examines how Habakkuk waited for further revelation from God and counseled that when God's answers do not meet expectations, believers should remember God's character, relate to Him personally, ask for understanding, and accept His discipline.
The document provides analysis of Lesson 6 from a Bible study series on the Book of Job. It summarizes Eliphaz's response to Job's suffering in Job 4-5, noting that while Eliphaz understood some truths about God, his reasoning was not comforting to Job and he wrongly assumed Job's suffering was due to sin. The document also examines how we should approach suffering with compassion rather than judgment.
The document provides an overview of the biblical Book of Job. It discusses that Job was a wealthy and devout man who suffered many tragedies late in life but maintained his faith in God. God later spoke to Job and Job saw God's greatness. The document also examines authorship, date, location, themes, and key passages of Job. It provides context and a brief summary of the plot and lessons of Job.
Our little Church is using a Chronological Bible Reading Schedule by Skip Andrews. It can be found here: http://www.churchofchristduluthga.org/

Dr. Potana’s work on street children is well-researched, compassionate, and groundbreaking. He carefully ties in the problem of street children around the world, the compassionate acts already done by Christians, and urges them not to forget those already born who cannot ask for help.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
John the Baptist preached repentance in the wilderness, dressing differently and eating locusts and honey. He baptized people in the Jordan River who confessed their sins. John rebuked the Pharisees and Sadducees, telling them to bring forth fruits of repentance. He said Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. Many people from Jerusalem and surrounding areas went to hear John and were baptized by him.

6. Why an Integrative Study?
o An integrative study provides a most
complete framework for the study of Job
o Allows us to consider facts and theology
while not losing the practical implications
of the book of Job
7. Objectives of this Study
To demonstrate that God is worthy of love apart from
the blessings he provides.
To explain that God may allow suffering as a means to
purify and strengthen a person in godliness.
To explore the justice of God who treats the righteous
with suffering.
8. Characters
Job
Mrs. Job
God
Satan
Three Friends
Eliphaz

9. Job And The Problem of
Suffering
Why do the righteous suffer?
10.
11.
12. Introduction
• Often, we wonder why a
loving God would allow
suffering to exist in the
world
• Further, we ask, why do
the righteous suffer?
• In the book of Job, we
have an example of a
righteous man who
suffered greatly
13. • Why does God allow Job to
suffer?
• What can we learn from Job
that will encourage us today
while suffering?
• Many so-called Christians
teach that God has promised
Christians would be healthy
and rich
• If we are not healthy and rich,
then we lack faith
• Account of job denies such
claims
14. The problem for Job
His friends’ wrong views
Job’s understanding
The Lord answers Job
The Lord restores Job
Job And The Problem of
Suffering
15. The reasons for suffering in a believers life
are not necessarily related to human
explanations of personal unrighteousness,
but are within the scope of God’s good and
powerful providence resulting in the defeat
of evil and glory to himself.
16. A Blind Man Is Healed
Another Example Of An
Afflicted Person In Scripture
Was A Man Born Blind.
John 9:1-3
“As he went along, he saw a man
blind from birth.
His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who
sinned, this man or his parents, that
he was born blind?"
"Neither this man nor his parents
sinned," said Jesus, "but this
happened so that the work of God
might be displayed in his life”.
17. God’s Work Is Seen
Some Thought This Man’s Blindness Was
Punishment For Sins Committed.
Jesus Said The Blindness Happened So That
God’s Work Could Be Seen.
This Man Suffered The Affliction Of Blindness
From Birth So God’s Power Could Be
Demonstrated When Jesus Healed Him.
We, Too, Might Face Suffering So That God May
Be Glorified In The End.
18. A Study of Positions
What is a position?
A position is a theological or philosophical
stand regarding an issue.
Who had positions in the book of Job?
Satan, Mrs. Job, Job’s friend, Job, Elihu,
and God.
19. Satan’s Position
“Does Job fear God for nothing?” 1:9
“Skin for skin, a man will give up all he has for his
own life”2:4
20. “Are you still
holding on to
your integrity,
curse God
and die”
Chap 2: 9
Mrs. Job’s
Position
21. Position of Job’s Friends
In three cycles of speeches they
rebuke Job:
1) Cycle 1 of Speeches and Job's
Response-
God Punishes the Wicked and
Blesses the Good: 4:1--14:22
2) Cycle 2 of Speeches and Job's
Response- -
The Wicked Suffer and Perish because
They Are against God: 15:1--21:34
3) Cycle 3 of Speeches and Job's
Response—
God Is Majestic, but Job is
Wicked: 22:1--27:23
Job & Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar
22. Eliphaz versus Job
Eliphaz 1: Eliphaz accused Job
of being inconsistent since
suffering results from sin and no
one is pure before God; thus he
urged Job to ask God to help
him and affirmed that God would
deliver him after He had
disciplined him 4:1--5:27
Eliphaz 2: Eliphaz affirms that
Job's words are meaningless,
that he is guilty, and that he is
like the wicked because he is in
distress 15:1-35
Eliphaz 3: Proclaiming God's
disinterest in Job for his social
deviations and spiritual defiance,
Eliphaz urges him to repent for
God is great 22:1-20
Job: Job responded by affirming
that his suffering was causing his
rash desire to die, Eliphaz's
response has disappointed him, and
by asking for forgiveness if he has
sinned 6:1--7:21
Job: Job responds rebuking his
friends for being no help, desiring to
plead his case with God, and
affirming is situation of despair
16:1-- 17:16
Job: Job longs to plead his case
before God 23:1--24:25
23. Bildad versus Job
Bildad 1: Bildad affirmed that history
has confirmed that if Job is righteous
God will restore him, unlike the
ungodly who perish 8:1-22
Bildad 2: Bildad rebukes Job for his
arrogant words about them, and
affirms that the wicked, like he, are
weakened, ensnared, diseased,
insecure, forgotten, hated, and alone
18:1-21
Bildad 3: Bildad affirmed that because
God is great and man is small and
impure there was no hope for Job to
be just and clean 25:1-6
Job: Job responds by affirming
God's wisdom and power, asking
why He is against him, and
requesting to die 9:1--10:22
Job: Job rebukes his friends for
tormenting and insulting him,
affirms that God has wronged him,
urges his friends to have pity on
him, and affirms that God will prove
his innocence after his death and
judge his friends 19:1-29
Job: Job affirms that his friends are
not help to him since he knows that
God is great and powerful over
nature 26:1-14
24. Zophar versus Job
Zophar 1: Zophar rebukes
Job by affirming that God
should show him true
wisdom and by affirming
that if he would turn to
God, he would be blessed
11:1-20
Zophar 2: Zophar
accuses Job of insulting
him and reminds him that
the wicked may be
blessed, but they will
then loose their riches
20:1-29
Job: Job responds by
criticizing Zophar for not
telling him anything new,
not helping him, and not
representing God well,
whereupon, he again asks
God to let him die 12:1--
14:22
Job: Job retorts that his
impatience is excusable
and reminds Zophar that
the wicked prosper and
live (unlike he) 21:1-34
25. Job’s Final Remarks
Job affirms that although man is skillful in
mining, wisdom is harder to find for it is God
who knows where wisdom is 28:1-28
Job wishes that he was in his former days
of spiritual blessing, material prosperity and
social prestige which occurred because he
helped the needy, exercised justice and
counseled others 29:1-25
Job proclaims his misery as he is mocked
by poor young men and vagabonds, and his
humiliation as he is in pain and nobody helps
him 30:1-31.
Job's Ultimate Challenge--An Oath of
Innocence which 'Legally' Calls God to
Answer" 31:1-40
Job & Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar
26. Elihu’s Position
Four Speeches by Elihu: 32:1--37:24
Introduction of Elihu: 32:1-5
Elihu's First Speech- God Instructs people
through Affliction: 32:6--33:33
Elihu's Second Speech to the Three Friends
and Job—God is Just and Prudence is
Vindicated: 34:1-37
Elihu's Third Speech to Job—There are
Advantages to Piety: 35:1-16
Elihu's Fourth Speech to Job (and Friends)–
God is Great and Job is Ignorant: 36:1--
37:24
27. God’s Position
God interviews Job in two speeches:
1. First Interview with Yahweh-- Job is Limited in
Knowledge: 38:1--40:5
1) Yahweh Challenged Job: 38:1-3
2) Yahweh Questioned Job Regarding Two Areas of
Creation: the physical and animal world.
Here God asks Job to listen.
2. Second Interview with God –Job is Limited in
Power: 40:6--42:6
1) Yahweh Challenged Job to Listen: 40:6-14
2) Yahweh questioned Job Regarding Two animals of
Creation: the Behemoth and the Leviathan
“Brace yourself like a man, I will question
you and you shall answer….” 38:9
28. Job’s Reply
Job Replied with Repentance: 42:1-6
“…Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me to know.
4 "You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.'
5 My ears had heard of you
but now my eyes have seen you.
6 Therefore I despise myself
and repent in dust and ashes."
29. God’s Response
Once Job has seen God, admitted God’s charges,
worshiped Him, the test is over.
God then praises Job, humbles his friends.
Job’s other “friends” come back.
God gives Job double what he lost.
Two times the wealth
Same number more children
God is no cheapskate.
Though we serve Him for nothing …
… He will not send us away empty-handed.
Ü But the full reward cannot come till the test is over.
30. Testing Of Our Faith
James 1:2-4
“Consider it pure joy, my
brothers, whenever you face
trials of many kinds, because
you know that the testing of
your faith develops
perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its
work so that you may be mature
and complete, not lacking
anything.”
31. Things Here Are Temporary
The Troubles We Face Here Are
Temporary But God Has Promised A
Tremendous Reward With Him Forever In
Heaven.
He Says That This Brief Moment Of
Difficulty And Separation Will End And All
Of Life’s Hard Questions And
Circumstances Will Be Answered And
Explained In His Presence.
32. 2 Corinthians 5:1, 6-9
Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a
building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home
in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by faith, not by sight. We are
confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with
the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in
the body or away from it.
Your Earthly Body Is Described As A Temporary Tent.
Tents Are Not All That Comfortable
Or Secure And Living In One Can
Be A Real Struggle.
But God Has A Mansion Prepared
For You In Heaven (John 14:2).
That Is His Promise To All Those
In Christ Jesus.
33. Romans 8:18
“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth
comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us”.
Paul Says Volumes In This
Verse About This Subject Of
Suffering.
God Wants Us To See Our
Suffering As Small Compared
To How Wonderful Heaven
Will Be.
34. The Victory Is Ours
Fans At An Athletic Event
Are A Good Example Of
This.
Even If The Game Is Not
Over But The Victory Is
Sure, They Begin To
Celebrate, Knowing They
Have Won.
The Same Is True For A Believer Still In
The Midst Of Hurtful Struggles; He Knows
The Victory Is Already Secure And Soon
To Come.
35. John 16:33
“I (Jesus) have told you these
things, so that in me you may
have peace. In this world you
will have trouble. But take
heart! I have overcome the
world”.
This World Will Always
Have Trouble, But He Has
Overcome This World And
Enables Us To Be
Overcomers, Too.
“He Overcomes
The World For Us”
