Optional Session: The Book of Job

Derek Thomas

We can identify with Job's story because we have all experienced suffering. But the book of Job isn't merely given as a means for identifying with Job; it is given to help us understand and respond rightly to suffering. This session considers what Job teaches us about how God uses trials and suffering to draw us closer to Himself.
