Unfortunately, our recording didn’t work this week, but Pastor Chris wrote a commentary on this passage for A Plain Account, a lectionary commentary resource for pastors. Find it here to get a taste of what you missed this Sunday!
In our third week of Job, we look at our place before God, recognizing that we, like Job, are in a very humble place before the creator of the universe. We see that we know less than we think, and that the perfect revelation of God in Christ should be the center of our knowledge…

David and Goliath! The original. We see that what matters is whether the Lord is with you (not strength or odds or any other factors), and we find that our lives are to be shaped by the calling of God (and not any other factors).
We look at the anointing of David, reflect on his legacy, and see that we are called to build beautiful lives but hold onto them lightly, recognizing that all will be destroyed and remade by our creator.
