This is the kind of Godly culture that we want Generations Church to become.

In this conclusion to our series on the Book of Job, the truth is declared about the greatness of God and our need to totally trust Him at all times; in order to always have hope, no matter what may come our way.

Like Job, who's hopelessness began to diminish as The Lord revealed His greatness to him, so our hope can increase as we consider our Almighty God Who is worthy of complete and total trust.

While in the midst of hopelessness and despair, Job's friends made matters worse, by trying to make sense of it all, through blaming the poor guy for all of his troubles. In this talk, the hearer is challenged to help the hopeless and to not make things worse for them. The sermon concludes with a wonderful solo sung by George Huff, entitled, "Stand".

To bring hope to a world struggling with hopelessness, our own hope must be strong and abounding. Through pursuing God as the God of hope, believing the truth of the Gospel and dealing with all our "hope robbers", our own hope is made stronger by the power and person of the Holy Spirit, as we allow Him to fill us often.

In life's most difficult seasons, we can have undying hope. This sermon shares several keys to having strong Gospel based hope that is not built on temporal things.

In a world wrestling with hopelessness, as believers in the Gospel, we are able to to be ready to give strong reasons for the hope that is in us.

In this sermon, the hearers are exhorted on how to overcome the shame-causers in their life.

While the last two sermons - in this series - focused on Jesus' death and how He fully redeemed us from all sin and shame, this one talks about His shame freeing life, past and present, and how He continues to do the same for all who come boldly to Him.
