The Bible: Job Chapter 23

In this video listen to Job 23 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.In Job 23 Job replies to Eliphaz in the fifteenth speech of the book. In his speech Job raises the question of how exactly one looks for a God that cannot be found? This video discusses this too, and the layers of reality. Job also raises how his trials will turn to gold - an insight which we can all consider.

The Bible: Job Chapter 22

In this video listen to Job 22 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 22 we are now into the third round of speeches. Eliphaz ratchets it up to attack Job at a new level, accusing him of specific sins. It becomes vitriolic. Eliphaz asks an interesting question - does God profit from man? This video will consider this question.

Job 21 - Job's Response: The Wicked Often Prosper |Bible Podcast, David Alley,Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Job 21 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 21 we have Job’s reply to Zophar and the end of the second round of speeches. Job goes all out in defence against Zophar, so much so that Zophar declines a third reply. In all the other speeches of Job, he gets lost in philosophising, or moves into spontaneous prayer, but not in this speech in which he stays on focus. His defence is good, giving specific examples of the prospering wicked, which Zophar is unable to reply against. Today we also see the wicked prosper, and there is hardly a better example than Joseph Stalin.

The Bible: Job Chapter 20

In this video listen to Job 20 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 20 we have the twelfth speech in the book, out of nineteen. It is also the second speech of Zophar, the voice of religion or duty. In this speech Zophar goes one step beyond his friends - by accusing Job of specific sins. He accuses Job of injustice towards the poor. And weirdly, he also paints God as a tyrant who pretends to do good,and then pours out the opposite. Zophar doesn’t know the Lord. While the Lord allows pain in our lives, there is always redemption in it, so he converts bad into good, not good into bad as Zophar is suggesting.

Job 19 -Job's Response: God's Wrath and Redemption|Bible Podcast, David Alley,Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Job 19 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 19 Job replies to Bildad’s second speech - the eleventh speech in the book and sixth speech of Job. He says to his friends “How long will you torment me, and crush me with your cruel words?” It is a very telling question. The answer is of course for another round of speeches after this. They will have one more attempt each. In verse 17 we get the only other mention of Job’s wife, who we find out loathes him.She doesn’t represent many of the godly women we know from elsewhere in scripture. Also in verse 24 is a most interesting reference to writing with a steel pen on lead. A recent archaeological discovery at Mt Ebal is of this exact thing.

The Bible: Job Chapter 18

In this video listen to Job 18 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 18 we have Bildad’s second speech to Job and the tenth in the book. This time Bildad seems to not have a focused point, but wants to vent his anger against Job. He felt attacked by Job’s previous reply and now defends himself by going on the offensive.Bildad makes some true points, but not true in light of this world only, but true in light of eternity, but he doesn’t seem to realise it… we explore how the wisdom can be true, but not the way he was thinking.

Job 17 - Job's Cry for Justice | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Job 17 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 17 his reply to Eliphaz continues, and he discusses the grave. The grave is ready for him, and he is ready for the grave. What do these two phrases mean? We also discuss the plans of humans and the light they take on when disaster arrives. We also discuss Job’s unique combination of hope and despair in the same speech. Do we combine hope and despair in our lives also?

The Bible: Job Chapter 16

In this video listen to Job 16 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.In Job 16 we have the ninth speech in the book, Job’s reply to Eliphaz’ second speech. He accuses his friends of abandoning him. We compare that with Christ who also had his friends abandon him, but did not complain in hindsight, but did ask in advance “could you not pray with me for an hour?” In verse 19 we reach one of the high points in the book of Job, where he states “my witness is in heaven” and speaks of the one who will vouch for him. We explore this statement, Jobs' accusation of his friends lack of sympathy, and the place of trust each believer must come to when going through pain.

The Bible: Job Chapter 15

In this video listen to Job 15 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 15 we are into the second round of speeches by Job’s “friends.” Here we have the eight speech in the book, out of nineteen. Eliphaz the Temanite doesn’t mince words this time around, and his speech can be summarised by four points: 1 - Job has sinned 2 - Job is proud and ignorant 3 - The wicked get what they deserve 4 - Punishment also awaits Job. With friends like Eliphaz’ who needs enemies? Listen as we discuss the speech of Eliphaz.
