Sermon: "Better, or Bitter?" October 25th, 2015 - Reformation Sunday Rev. Heather Joy James
The following sermon was preached by our guest preacher Rev. Heather Joy James, finishing up our sermon series on the book of Job. In this final chapter, Job shows his humility in the face of the majestic mystery of God. God judges Job as righteous. While his friends’ opinions are judged as false. God restores Job’s fortunes, and Job experiences God’s blessing afresh for the rest of his days.
