Behind the Series: Seriously, God?

Time of Grace With Pastor Mike Novotny

Pop quiz: The book of Job is about _____?

Pastor Mike's answer might surprise you. In fact, it almost resulted in Amber getting into a car accident.

Pastor Mike and Amber Albee Swenson give us the goods behind October's sermon series, "Seriously, God?," which looks at the book of Job. They talk about why there's pain in life, why many of us tend not to comfort friends during times of tragedy, how the book of Job is a massive warning about what happens when we insist on asking why, and the reminders we can look to in order to remember that God is big.

With your gift to the ministry during October, you can receive Pastor Mike's new book, "When Life Hurts: How to See Through Suffering," at timeofgrace.org. This journey through the book of Job examines how pain affects your life and offers practical guidance on what to do when it does. Study questions for each chapter help you navigate suffering in a way that honors God and anchors you in his love. Get your copy at timeofgrace.org starting Sunday!
