Lessons from Job, Part 1: There was a Man

Scripture: Job 1:1-12

Date: 08/23/1997

This is the first in a series on the book of Job. It is a poetic book that talks about a great controversy between good and evil. Job was a very wealthy man but he was very pious and humble. The opening of the book turns from earth to a scene away from earth where Satan approaches God to accuse the Lord of protecting Job.

I would love to download much more from here to listen as I travel in the car but can't find the links to download. Part 2 seems to have the link but not this one.

How I LOVE this sermon. Here it is July 11,2017 and it's probably the 5th or 6th time I've listened to it. I can't begin to tell you how many times this sermon has touched my heart as I've met joy and sorrow.
Thank you, Pastor Doug...for opening my eyes to His word.
