In these courtroom scenes in Scripture, we have seen a lot of real life, and we’ve seen God right there in the midst of it all – with truth, wisdom, justice, compassion, mercy, and grace.

We come to the Book of Job – with Job’s big questions – and ours – and we don’t find a neat and tidy answer.

We are sent now to testify to that truth, that Word embodied…

In a world that would tear them apart, Jonathan and David choose a better way.

In a world tha…
