This course offers an in-depth exploration of Job's narrative, providing you with a nuanced view of its significance within the religious life of the Israelites and its enduring relevance for our own spiritual journey.

Module 1: When God is All You Have Left (Job 1,2) πͺοΈ
We begin by setting the stage for Job's story, examining the initial challenge that strips him of his worldly blessings and positions us to consider what truly matters when everything else is taken away.
Module 2: Coming to the End of Yourself (Job 3-7) π€―
In these chapters, we explore the limits of human resources and resilience as Job confronts his devastating circumstances without the comforts or explanations he once took for granted.
Module 3: Through a Glass, Darkly (Job 19) π
Here, we consider the possibilities of grace amidst suffering, as Job's despair brings him to a profound realization about his dependence on God.
Module 4: Expanding Your Horizons (Job 31-38) π
Job's final defense invites us to expand our horizons beyond our immediate experiences to the broader picture of God's universe and His sovereign control over all creation.

Through Job's ultimate restoration, we learn to avoid neat solutions to suffering and instead embrace the complexity of our faith journey.
