In The Middle Of The Night, Part 2: Leave Blame Where It Belongs (Ellis Prince)

This Sunday finds us in part 2 of our series, “In The Middle Of The Night.” Who in this book is actually saying what is right? What are we to gain from the story of the suffering of Job? Last week we explored the narrative story of how Job was viewed by God, how Satan thought he could win, and how good friends turned bad in just over a week's time. This week we are going to do some work on the six chapters that introduce us to a totally new character, Elihu. This character is young, enthusiastic, angry, and, in my opinion, a fool. What does this add to the story? What could be inspired in this text for us today? If you are suffering, tell us. Many of you suffer in silence because you have experienced the Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar’s of the church. We are sorry this is in your story of suffering. We want to be different. We need to be different.
