The Battle Is The Lord’s…Remember? (2 Chronicles 19-20)
1w ago00:37:33Tap to summarizeSpeaker: Brent Kercheville. Jehoshaphat was king over the nation of Judah. He walked in the footsteps of David, seeking the Lord and being his commands. But his association with Ahab, the king of Israel, has caused him to compromise. His faithfulness to the Lord was negatively impacted because he wanted to be connected to Ahab. Jehoshaphat was condemned for loving the wicked and listening to them rather than loving the Lord and listening to him (cf. 2 Chronicles 19:1-3)… To read more of this lesson click here.

Transcribe →God Is Not Unjust When Suffering (Job 34)
2w ago00:32:11Tap to summarizeSpeaker: Brent Kercheville. Job has said many words that need to be addressed. In Job 32-33 Elihu responds to Job who has contended that God was silent throughout his suffering. God is not silent in suffering but is speaking through suffering. Trials are protective and corrective, not punitive, transforming us and moving us closer to the image of God. But there is another charge that Job has made concerning God during his suffering regarding the justice of God. Open your copies of God’s word to Job 34 and you will notice the second message Elihu has for Job and those who are with them… To read more of this lesson click here.

Transcribe →Strong Start, Subtle Drift (2 Chronicles 17-18)
2w ago00:29:32Tap to summarizeSpeaker: Brent Kercheville. Have you ever had a strong start at doing something, only to give out a little bit later? Maybe you started a project and you were excited to accomplish the task. But then the project, for whatever reason, remains unfinished. Maybe you started something but then found yourself in over your head. So you stopped and it remains incomplete. There are many things in life where we might have a strong start but then be tempted not to finish strong. The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles are not merely another account of the history of Judah’s kings. The Chronicler writes after the fall of Jerusalem to teach the people why they were exiled and how to be restored to the Lord. In our lesson today we are going to look at restoration through the life of King Jehoshaphat. But we are going to see a strong start in the reign of Jehoshaphat but also see a subtle drift away from that strong start… To read more of this lesson click here.

Transcribe →God Is Not Silent When Suffering (Job 32-33)
3w ago00:32:51Tap to summarizeSpeaker: Brent Kercheville. For thirty-one chapters we have read about a lot of questions about suffering and the way God runs the world. The friends of Job have insisted that the way God runs the world is that the wicked suffer and the righteous do not suffering. Therefore, Job must have sinned. However, we know this is wrong because Job is blameless, upright, fearing God, and turning from evil (cf. Job 1:8; 2:3). Job has insisted on his own righteousness and that he has done nothing deserving of the suffering he is experiencing. Job is right about this. His suffering is not the punishment of God. Job and his friends are in a stalemate. The friends’ answer does not change. Job’s response does not change. So what is the answer? What is God doing in the world? What is God doing through suffering? In Job 32 we read about a new person who have not seen before in the book. His name is Elihu. We are told in Job 32:4 that Elihu had waited to speak to Job because Job’s friends were older than him. But the three friends have failed in their discussion with Job. You will notice in Job 32:2-3 that Elihu is not happy with anyone. He is angry at Job because Job is spending his time justifying himself rather than justifying God. He is also angry with the three friends because they could not refute Job but had condemned Job in the process… To read more of this lesson click here.

Transcribe →Faithful Through Suffering (Job 29-31)
Apr 2600:33:54Tap to summarizeSpeaker: Brent Kercheville. Job has been proclaiming the need for faithfulness when suffering. In Job 28 we see Job proclaiming to anyone who will listen that the fear of the Lord is wisdom. Turning away from evil is understanding (cf. Job 28:28). The friends of Job believed they had come to Job with wisdom to comfort and correct Job. But Job is able to see that they have not proclaimed wisdom. They do not have the words of God, even though they think they do. God alone possesses wisdom. God is the source of wisdom. What Job is going to do next is show his faithfulness before his suffering began and continued faithfulness through his suffering… To read more of this lesson click here.

Transcribe →Restoration After Grief (Lamentations 5)
Apr 1900:28:39Tap to summarizeSpeaker: Brent Kercheville. We are going to look at the final lament of this book. Please open your copies of God’s word to Lamentations 5. As you are turning to the final lamentation, I want to remind of us the grief journey Jeremiah has taken his people through. Lamentations 1 encouraged the people to honestly express to the Lord what has happened to them. Name and describe the suffering and give the hurt to the Lord. Lamentations 2 then helped the people with the struggle that they have in their grief. We looked at trying to reconcile how we can be going through what we are going through. We know that God loves his people and answers prayers. But things are not going the way we wanted or the way we expected. So our grief moves to trying to struggle with how these things could be. Lamentations 3 moves us to hope while in the darkness of grief. Lamentations 3 is not saying that everything is all better. The first 20 verses of Lamentations 3 continue describing the overwhelming pain of their circumstances. But the prophet tells us that when he is overwhelmed he sets his mind on the steadfast love of the Lord never failing. Every morning God’s faithfulness waits for us and is experienced. But the book does not end here. Lamentations 4 now moves us to accept our grief in our new circumstance. Though this is not the outcome we wanted, this is the outcome. This is the way things are going to be. Our hope is not that things must get better. Our hope is in God who will help us and deliverance through the many afflictions of this new reality. God pries the idols from our hands and compels us to trust in him alone. This sets us up for the final lamentation. How will Jeremiah end his series on grief and what will he teach the people now?

Transcribe →Wisdom Through Suffering (Job 28)
Apr 1900:35:04Tap to summarizeSpeaker: Brent Kercheville. There is a section in the book of Job in which we see Job moving away from arguing with his friends. We might falsely over summarize the book and think that the middle is just Job and his friends arguing with each other. But the discourses with each other end in chapter 27. Each of the friends try to teach Job and Job responds with a rebuttal and offers further challenges. But in chapters 28-31 we see Job break into long discourses in which no one is arguing with Job or responding to him. This is an important section that can be quickly passed over in the middle of the book. In these chapters Job is going to proclaim what is necessary for enduring significant trials… To read more of this lesson click here.
