The Bible-Teaching Ministry of Pastor Chuck Swindoll
How did Job respond when all was taken from him—his children and livelihood?

Amid life’s tragedies, affirm that God gives and God takes away, and we praise His name through it all.

Tune in to hear Pastor Chuck Swindoll teach on God’s authority and the conditions of a contrite heart.
Release your demands and expectations of God. Let go of any bitterness and blame. Instead, acknowledge God’s unfolding purpose and glorious plan. His way is best!

In a concluding survey of Job, Pastor Chuck Swindoll draws out seven lessons Job teaches us about ourselves.
Which of these lessons addresses your situation? Meditate on the truth and apply it today!
In Job 4–7, we encounter Eliphaz: one of Job’s legalistic and judgmental friends. His penalizing words only amplify Job’s suffering.
Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll as he examines the condemnation and rebuke of a friend with hasty assumptions.
Sometimes we pridefully think we understand everything that happens. In reality, God’s ways are different from our own. Seek understanding and compassion instead!
Instead of bringing sympathy and comfort, Job’s second friend advises him with dogmatic truth. Even if his theology was correct, his method of sharing caused harm.
Pastor Chuck Swindoll examines the “counsel” from Bildad plus Job’s response in Job 8–10.
Job longed for a mediator who could stand between him and God. Believers today have the perfect mediator in Jesus Christ—look to Him and point others toward the same!
I've been listening to the story of Jonah, particularly of his stubbornness and his disobedience. Pastor Chuck, I was acting like Jonah, and I am stubborn. When I decided to obey, God was there. I believe that God wanted me to experience the blessing of obedience. Thank you for your teachings. God bless you always. —C. G.
