Pastor Bill talks about the teaching of Jesus.
One thing that makes the Bible different from most religiouswritings is that it has no heroes. King David was the most revered ruler in Old Testament history (actually, in any history). Yet, he had an affair with Bathsheba, ordered his generals to put Bathsheba's husband (Uriahthe Hittite) into battle where he would be killed and took Bathsheba as one of his wives. To make matters even worse, a baby born to David and Bathsheba (not the one conceived in the affair) went on to become King Solomon, of wisdomfame. So, in a very real sense, they were rewarded for theiradultery. This is probably why, in Sunday School, we teach about David and Goliath, not David and Bathsheba.

Pastor Bill discusses the story of The Patience of JobOne common phrase in our mutual language is “The patience of Job.” Job was an Old Testament character who suffered every tragedy imaginable and never lost his faith in God. “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away,” said Job.Well, for the first two of 42 chapters, at least. After losing all his property, his children and being covered with boils, Job finally loses it. He doesn't lose his faith in God. What he does is to demand that God justify his unfair treatment.
