I. vv1-2 The problem of God's ways. II. vv3-8 The pathway of God's servant. III. vv9-14 The relief of God's provision.
In this sermon John explores this is very hard but important reading. In it He suggests that we are given a glimpse of the angst within the Godhead around the Jesus event, and an image of the faith, love, trust and hope we are invited into as followers of the way. Briefly look at others who have lived out that life. Finally he explores how this reading offers us real hope and faith in a world where churches are getting older, greyer and smaller.
