    Object: A football, a hand-held microphone, a camera, a stack of play money bills. These are the objects I used, but you can use any objects that might symbolize “success”.

    Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. (v. 4)

    The outhouse on the farm where I grew up was beside the ash pile, at the end of a well-worn path, under a boxelder tree about fifty yards from the back door of the house. It was a two-seater – cold in winter, smelly and hot in summer. There was always a Sears and...

    Job 38:1-7 (34-41)
    Most people assume God’s answer to Job, showing him the depth and breadth of the universe is meant to cow Job’s resistance, leading him, now broken, to repent, abjectly saying “...therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes (42:6).”

    But when God addresses Job with the words sometimes translated “Gird up your loins like a man....”(...

    All the lessons testify to the theme that it’s not at all about you and me; it’s all about God!

    Job 38:1-7 (34-41)
    The First Lesson is drawn from a folktale probing faith in the midst of suffering. The date of the work is uncertain but perhaps it was composed around the time of the Babylonian captivity in the sixth or fifth centuries BC. There are...

    Call to Worship:

    Jesus said, "What is it you want me to do for you?" In our worship, let us explore what we want Jesus to do for us today.

    Invitation to Confession:

    Jesus, we are sometimes selfish in our requests to you.
    Lord, have mercy.

    Jesus, we are sometimes unreasonable in our requests...

    The story of Job is familiar to all of us -- a man whose world was spinning merrily along with everything falling into place is suddenly confronted with one misery after another ... disaster, death, disease, and despair. In some of the most moving poetry ever written, chapter after chapter attempts to deal with the age-old question of why, so often, life is unfair.

    People still...

    The voice of praise rings beautifully through this psalm as each verse gives poetic color to the glories of creation and its maker. It is something to be read and re-read as we contemplate the wonders of God.

    Somehow, though, our modern sensibilities rest a little uneasily with such boundless enthusiasm. We squirm a bit and shyly point out that such praise comes from a less...

    There is a candy shop in the city of Keystone, South Dakota, just a few hundred yards down the mountain from that infamous Mount Rushmore monument. I can't tell you the name of that candy store, but I can certainly recall the sign on the counter that stands at just about eyeball-level for the average seven-year-old. The sign says this: "If Mom says, 'No,' ask Grandma!"

    Within the...

    An elementary principle in the business world is the law of supply and demand. When supplies outrace the demand for a product, prices are low. We call that a "buyer's market." On the other hand, when there are more buyers demanding a product than there are supplies of the product, prices are high. We call that situation a "seller's market."

    When we look at the early church, such as...
