To go along with the limited time I’m spending on Job right now – just one sermon. Let me add a few things that can help you look a little deeper. First, John Piper did a book that is essentially a poll on telling the life story of Job. Desiring God ministries turned it into an animated art film that is on iTunes and you can rent or buy here. Piper’s biblical poetry is amazingly good. His hour and 20 minute sermon is here. Oh – that’s just part one. The second part is here. Connected to missions and suffering is this talk “Purpose driven death.” Piper has thought a lot about how suffering relates to the sovereignty of God – and how all suffering has a relation to God’s good purposes. He’s neither flippant with human suffering nor the doctrine of God’s rule over all things.
Keller’s first sermon in their series on Job can be found here. You can listen to it directly here.
On Sunday I said a bunch about the Sabbath commands, but I didn’t explicitly talk about how we should be obeying them these days. Below is a talk I did for Badger Cru that is meant to give some framework for how to think about them now.
For those of you who would like to hear my talks on the church that I did at Bryan College last week, here they are.
Talk 1: My story and the main challenge Talk 2: What is the identity of the church? Talk 3: What is the mission of the church? Talk 4: Why do you need the church more than you think? Talk 5: How should you engage with the church as a young adult?
If you’re wondering why you would want to be part of the church, or if someone has asked you that question – this might be a helpful resource.
This morning I talked about some follow-up things for Isaiah 42. (Hear the sermon from this morning here.)
Perhaps the most famous Christian reading that takes up the topic of the bruised Reed is a book by that name- The Bruised Reed by Richard Sibbs (1577-1635). You can find a good summary article on the content of the book here. You can find a free PDF copy of the book here. The whole book is only 69 pages. If you like it, most of his complete works are here.
Banner of truth publishing has published a Kindle version with some updated language. There are a few words in 17th century English that can puzzle you a little bit- and this version makes that a little easier. But reading 17th century theology is about a 70 page investment – once you’ve read that much you’ve pretty much picked up on the different ways they use certain words.
