Wisdom (Part 11): Dust and Ashes
from Palms Presbyterian Sermons
Wisdom (Part 11) Job 38 & Job 42:1-6 Sunday, November 23, 2025 The Book of Job ends with a bracing monologue from God, who berates Job from a whirlwind, followed by Job's humble submission. Job was sure that if he could get an audience with God, his case would be vindicated. In the end, God says nothing that might help Job better understand his suffering. What does this tell us about our own suffering? What does this tell us about God? Bryant Anderson preaching. Referenced in this sermon: Stephen Mitchell, The Book of Job (1992) Current Series: Wisdom Some of the most intriguing texts in the Bible are those belonging to the genre known as Wisdom Literature. These books explore some of life's deepest, most pressing, and most unanswerable questions—questions of meaning, happiness, fulfillment, and suffering. While the world has changed immeasurably since these texts were written, the concerns they voice and the challenges they pose are just as relevant today as they were then. The books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job have much to teach us—even today—about what it means to live well in a complex world.
