Job Part 2 (The trials of Job)

INTRO: We have begun a new series and it is on the book of Job. In the first message we introduced this book and looked at the first scene, and what a scene it is. In the scene we saw a godly man who was going about his everyday life. He was a wealthy man, and one that feared God an shunned evil and held his family up before God continually.

But all unknown to Job, another story was unfolding behind the scenes. God and Satan were discussing him. God was proud of HIS servant Job and Satan said, “Sure he is good. But it is all because You have hedged him about and handed out every goodie imaginable to him. But, touch his possessions and he will curse you to the face!” And God said to Satan, “All that he has is in your hands. Only do not kill him.”
