As we journey through the 40 days of Lent, we think of the journey of our Lord. There are highs there are lows. Mankind has many victories. And many defeats. Jesus took all those defeats and transgressions upon himself. He gave us the victory. And he shall make all things new. Let’s listen.
When bad things happen, when we are hit with unthinkable and undeserved troubles we sometimes find ourselves flying blind. How then should we react? What can we learn from Job and his suffering? Join us this Lenten season as we study Job and how he persevered and turned his trials into triumph.
