Tune in to the conclusion of Pastor Ben's discussion of Job.

Job has been struggling with a feeling of unfairness, and in times of unfairness, pride rears its head. In Job 40:6-42:6, God's speeches are bringing Job back from his misunderstandings. We find mercy as we undrestand God's justice. (ch40:6-14) We find mercy as we understand God's power. (ch40:15-41:34) We find mercy as we experience God's forgiveness. (ch42:1-6)

Listen in on Pastor Ben's Resurrection Sunday sermon!

Jesus had performed miracles to fulfill Old Testament scripture, and in Mark 15:1-20, they think the only thing left for Him to do was enter Jerusalem and reestablish the nation of Israel. But Jesus was mocked, beaten, and killed, and He submitted Himself to it to gather us into eternity with Him. Sin mocks us and scourges our hearts, but Jesus offers grace and healing. Your King endured accusatio...
