Podcasts about Zophar

In the span of a few days, Job lost everything. His prosperity was stolen from him and destroyed. His children lay buried in the dust. His own health was so destroyed that his friends could barely recognize him when they came to console him. But they were little help. Zophar was one of the worst. He came to Job in his grief and said to him, “You deserved this. In fact, it could have been worse. God has even forgotten some of your sin” (11:6). Some friends! Yet, Zophar wasn't all wrong. He asked a fundamental question of Job. “What can you know?” The wisdom, the mysteries, and the limits of God are all beyond our knowing. It is longer than the earth and broader than the sea. Yet, there Zophar sat, daring to uncover the hidden mysteries of heaven to Job. Isn't that what we try to do when we try to explain how God is working all things together for good (cf. Romans 8:28)? We say that and then we try to explain it. We sit with those who are suffering and try to explain to them how its good. We sit with our thoughts and try to reason out the things beyond our understanding. We are better off if we stick with what we know. And what was it that Job knew, even in the dust and ashes? He knew that his Redeemer lived. He knew that he would live with him, too. Ah, how sweet this sentence is: I know that my Redeemer lives! Indeed, this is what we know. Job 11:7-9; Job 19:23-27

The post Job 18 – 21 : Second Round of Speeches – Bildad, Zophar and Job appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.

The Book of Job asks some of life's most challenging questions... and the answers it gives call us to trust the Lord. But is there any benefit to trusting Him and obeying Him? Definitely! We'll unpack some of those benefits in today's podcast on Job 42: Job's Repentance and Restoration. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    The podcast mentioned that the book of Job addresses questions like, “Why is there so much suffering in this world? What kind of power does Satan have? Can I trust God, even when I don't understand Him?” Are any of these questions ones that have you asked in the past? How have you answered them? What is the Book of Job's answers to these questions?  2.    The podcast also gave the following summaries of the advice from Job's friends:     Eliphaz derived his wisdom from age and experience. Bildad derived his counsel from the wisdom of crowds and the authority of what the experts say. Zophar derived his wisdom from the pursuit of righteousness. And Elihu derived his wisdom from the pursuit of passion and zeal. Does any of this advice frame your own thinking? If so, how can you move on from that way of thinking?  3.    Once the Lord begins to set the record straight in Job 38, what has He said so far? How has the question of “who?” been the ultimate answer to the question of “why?” 4.    What did Job's repentance consist of in verses 2, 3, and 6? Why were these statements necessary for Job to say to the Lord? Have you ever said these kinds of things to the Lord? Why or why not? 5.    After Job's repentance, how does the Lord restore him? What does this teach us about the Lord's desire to bless His people?  6.    Sometimes people think that bad things happen to people because they are under judgment from God. What does the Book of Job show us, instead?  7.    From what you have learned from the Book of Job, how should we think of God and His plans for our life? How can you align more with this mindset?

Daily Devotional - Job 11:1-20 - Bold Words, Harsh Judgements: Zophar SpeaksSometimes the people closest to us don't understand our pain. In Job 11, Zophar makes bold claims about Job's suffering, assuming guilt instead of offering grace.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla – April 28, 2025: God Rebukes Job's Friends (Job 42:7–8)In today's devotion, Pastor Balla reflects on Job 42:7–8 (ESV), where God turns His attention to Job's friends, declaring, “My anger burns against you… for you have not spoken of me what is right.” Their flawed theology and harsh assumptions are corrected by the Lord Himself, who demands not only repentance but intercession—from Job, the very man they had judged.This passage is a powerful reminder that what we say about God matters deeply—especially in times of suffering. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar are rebuked not for questioning, but for misrepresenting God's justice and mercy. Yet, God offers a path of reconciliation, marked by humility, sacrifice, and the prayers of a righteous sufferer.

The post Job 11-14 : Speeches of Zophar and Job appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.

This week's message explores the final round of debate between Job and his friends, as their arguments unravel and their frustration boils over. Eliphaz pleads with Job to repent, Bildad offers a cold and rigid view of God's justice, and Zophar remains silent—defeated by Job's unwavering stance. Their faulty theology leaves no room for innocent suffering, showing that they have misrepresented God rather than bringing true comfort.Yet Job stands firm. Though he does not understand his suffering, he refuses to turn away from God. In his longing for a mediator, we see a glimpse of the gospel—our need for One who will stand between us and God. That hope is fulfilled in Jesus, our true Redeemer and Advocate.When suffering comes, we must cling to the truth of who God is, cry out to Him in honesty, and trust in Christ, the One who fully understands our pain and intercedes on our behalf.

Job's poetry continues with the speeches of Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, who did so well in silence and now do so badly when they speak. Read Job 4 and 5 and thanks for listening! 

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla! Today, we reflect on Job 11:7-10, where Zophar speaks of God's infinite wisdom and power. Can we truly grasp the depths of the Almighty? While Zophar exalts God's majesty, he misses the mark—using truth to silence Job's pain rather than offer comfort. Join us as we explore God's unsearchable wisdom, His mercy in suffering, and how Christ reveals His love. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to help spread God's Word!

This week's message highlights the ongoing debate between Job and his friends, who double down on their flawed belief that suffering is always a result of sin. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar misapply truth, offering harsh rebukes rather than comfort. Job, in his pain, wrestles with the reality that the wicked often prosper while the righteous suffer. Yet, in the midst of his grief, Job declares his hope: “I know that my Redeemer lives.” This statement points forward to Jesus, the true Redeemer who took our suffering upon Himself. When suffering comes, we must ground ourselves in truth, rest in Christ's finished work, and point others to His goodness.

This week's sermon examined Zophar's harsh and misguided response to Job's suffering. Unlike his friends before him, Zophar showed no compassion—he accused Job of sin and insisted that repentance would bring immediate restoration. His words reflected a dangerous misunderstanding of God's justice, assuming that suffering is always the result of sin and that obedience guarantees blessing. Job, however, pushed back. He boldly refuted his friends' flawed theology, defended his innocence, and expressed a deep longing to bring his case before God. Even in his despair, Job's faith remained. He clung to the hope that, though he could not stand before God on his own, deliverance was possible. This foreshadows the gospel—our righteousness cannot come from ourselves but only through Jesus, our true Advocate and Redeemer. May we, like Job, trust in God's justice, hold fast to His promises, and remember that our hope is ultimately found in Christ alone.

2 Corinthians 5:6-82 Timothy 1:101 John 4:11 Thessalonians 5:21Paul Tournier – “We are always nearly longing for an easy religion, easy to understand and easy to follow. A religion with no mystery, no insoluble problems, no snags. A religion that would allow us to escape from our miserable human condition. A religion in which contact with God spares us all strife, all uncertainty, all suffering, and all doubt. In short, religion without the cross.”Alexander Whyte – “But what Satan could not do with all his Sibeans and all the Chaldeans and all his winds from the wilderness to help him, that he soon did with the debating approaches and the controversial assaults of Eliphaz and Zophar and Bildad and Elihu. Oh, the unmitigable curse of controversy.”

Zophar focuses on God's omniscience to accuse Job, who responds with a perspective on God that rejects the singular focus of his friends.

There's a certain kind of rage that comes from feeling like justice has been denied. We see it in the world today—outrage over corruption, frustration when the wicked seem to prosper, and the deep longing for wrongs to be made right. But what happens when that thirst for justice turns into self-righteous fury? That's where we find Zophar in Job 20. He's not interested in nuance. He's not here to comfort Job. He's here to deliver a scathing sermon on the inevitable downfall of the wicked. But is Zophar right? Do the wicked always suffer in this life? Does God's justice operate on a simple “you sin, you suffer” timeline? And what happens when our desire for retribution makes us blind to the suffering of another?  The Rev. Dr. Vernon Wendt, intentional interim pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Steger, IL and St. Paul's Ev. Lutheran Church in Chicago Heights, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Job 20.  Why do the righteous suffer? That's the burning question at the heart of the book of Job—one of the most profound and challenging books in all of Scripture. From a Lutheran perspective, Job's story isn't just about a man enduring unimaginable hardship; it's about wrestling with God's will, grappling with well-meaning but misguided advice, and ultimately finding comfort in God's grace rather than human understanding. As Job's friends offer simplistic answers, Job demands the truth, and God's response reminds us of His infinite wisdom and mercy. Through it all, we see glimpses of Christ—the truly innocent sufferer—who redeems our pain and points us to the cross, where suffering meets salvation. Join us as we journey through Job, confronting tough questions about faith, suffering, and God's mysterious ways with hope grounded in Christ alone.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Bildad evaluates Job's condition through God's justice, Zophar through God's omniscience but Job sarcastically rebukes their incomplete view of God.

There's a kind of confidence that comes easy when you're not the one suffering. Zophar has it—bold, unwavering, and a little smug. He tells Job that God is beyond his understanding, that Job's suffering is deserved, and that, frankly, he should be grateful it isn't worse. But Job isn't buying it. He fires back, dripping with sarcasm: “Oh, you guys are so wise. If you died, wisdom itself would perish from the earth.” Then, he points to creation itself—birds, beasts, and even the fish in the sea—to make his case: God's power is absolute, but that doesn't mean Zophar understands it any better than he does.  The Rev. Jim Daub, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Havelock, NC, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Job 10 and 11.  Why do the righteous suffer? That's the burning question at the heart of the book of Job—one of the most profound and challenging books in all of Scripture. From a Lutheran perspective, Job's story isn't just about a man enduring unimaginable hardship; it's about wrestling with God's will, grappling with well-meaning but misguided advice, and ultimately finding comfort in God's grace rather than human understanding.

Zophar discusses his Gameweek 23 plans ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Become a Fantasy Football Scout Member: https://bit.ly/FPLWIRE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In Job 21, Job responds to Zophar's argument that the wicked suffer. Job argues the wicked also prosper. Do you see the wicked prosper? Do you curse God as they do?

In Job 20, Zophar speaks. He talks about how the wicked will suffer. Yet, we see wickedness prosper all around us. Do you get judgmental, or do you trust the justice of God?

Job's friends are insulted that he would reject their wisdom, especially because they are drawing their conclusions from that which was commonly assumed by the culture and by their ancestors. Job wants to find comfort and consolation from his friends, but they continue to make a case against him. In an earlier speech, Job spoke of God's justice, but as he responds to his friend Zophar at the beginning of our reading, we can see that he struggles, like many of us, to understand why the wicked are allowed to flourish while the righteous perish. Job 21 - 1:01 . Job 22 - 5:39 . Job 23 - 9:55 . Job 24 - 12:01 . Job 25 - 15:51 . Job 26 - 16:32 . Psalm 8 - 18:24 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

When we last left Job, he complained that there was no mediator between God and man, and bemoaned the Almighty's ever-watching eye. Zophar chimes in with similar heartless rebukes as those spoken by the rest of his crew, emphasizing that Job shouldn't challenge God. Job, in reply, tells his friends that he is well-aware of all the things that his friends are telling him. Job tells God that he wishes he were dead, contending if that were the case, at least then God would leave him alone. Finally, Eliphaz begins round two of the speeches, scolding Job and declaring that wicked people are the ones who writhe in pain and have no peace, insinuating that Job must be wicked.Job 11 - 1:02 . Job 12 - 3:35 . Job 13 - 6:51 . Job 14 - 10:27 . Job 15 - 14:40 . Psalm 6 - 19:13 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In Job 13 and 14, Job continues to respond to Zophar. He wants to plead his case to God, not his friends. He wants to know why this is happening to him. You too may want to plead your case to God. You too may want to know why.

In Job 12, Job responds to Zophar's accusations in Job 11. He ridicules his counsel. Surely you have given advice, but how much did you really know about the circumstances? Zophar had no knowledge of the deal God and Satan made in heaven. Are you careful as you counsel others based on your limited information?

In Job 11, Job's third friend, Zophar, speaks. He says Job deserves worse. Sometimes the help we seek from our friends is no help at all. Where is your help in time of need?

Job - Job's third speech: A response to Bildad. Job frames his plea to God. Zophar's first response to Job. Job's fourth speech: A response to Zophar.

Death and burial of Sarah - The Good WifeWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes%209%3A9&version=TLVEcclesiastes 9:9Live joyously with the wife whom you love all the days of your fleeting life that He has given you under the sun during all your fleeting days—for this is your portion in life and in your toil that you labor under the sun.Genesis 23:1-2Now Sarah's life was 127 years—the years of Sarah's life. Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep over her.Genesis 23:3-4Then Abraham rose from before his dead one and spoke to the sons of Heth saying, "I am an outsider and a sojourner among you. Give me a gravesite among you so that I may bury my dead from before my presence."Genesis 23:5-6The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him, "Listen to us, my lord. You are a prince of G_d among us. Bury your dead in the best of our graves. None among us will withhold his grave from you, to bury your dead one."Genesis 23:7-9Then Abraham got up and bowed down to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth, and spoke with them saying, "If you are of a mind to let me bury my dead from before my presence, listen to me. Plead with Ephron son of Zophar on my behalf, that he may give me the cave of Machpelah that belongs to him, that is at the end of his field. At the full price let him give it to me in your midst for a gravesite."Genesis 23:10-11Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth, all those who enter the gate of his city, saying, "No, my lord, listen to me. The field—I hereby give it to you. Also the cave that is in it—I hereby give it to you. In the eyes of the sons of my people, I hereby give it to you. Bury your dead one."Genesis 23:12-13Then Abraham bowed down before the people of the land, and spoke to Ephron in the ears of the people of the land saying, "But if only you would please listen to me. I hereby give the price of the field. Accept it from me that I may bury my dead one there."Genesis 23:14-15So Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him, "My lord, listen to me. A land worth 400 shekels of silver—what is that between me and you? Bury your dead one."Genesis 23:16-18Abraham heard Ephron. So Abraham weighed out to Ephron the silver that he had spoken of in the ears of the sons of Heth—400 shekels of silver at the merchant's rate. Now Ephron's field that is in Machpelah next to Mamre—the field and the cave that is in it, and all the trees that are in the field in all its surrounding territory—was handed over to Abraham as a purchased possession in the eyes of the sons of Heth, before all those who enter the gate of his city.Genesis 23:19-20Afterward, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah next to Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan. So the field and the cave that was in it were handed over to Abraham as a gravesite from the sons of Heth.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2018%3A12-15&version=TLVGenesis 18:12-1512 So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I've grown decrepit, can I have desire—and my lord so old?"13 Then Adonai said to Abraham, "Why is it that Sarah laughed, saying, 'Can I really give birth when I am so old?' 14 Is anything too difficult for Adonai? At the appointed time I will return to you—in about a year—and Sarah will have a son."15 Sarah denied it saying, "I didn't laugh!" For she was afraid.But He said, "No—for you did laugh."https://unsplash.com/@sadswim

Job has lost everything but his wife, his life, and a handful of friends who have gathered around him. After sitting together in silence for seven days, Job opens up about the sorrow and agony he feels. His friends, however, greet him with calls to repent, suggesting that God would not punish someone like this if he were indeed righteous. Bildad rebukes Job, pointing to God's justice and argues that God does not reject a person of integrity. Job, in turn, considers God's power and sovereignty and declares that it is futile to try to bring any case against God Almighty. Zophar chimes in with similar heartless rebukes, emphasizing that Job shouldn't challenge God.Job 6 - 1:13 . Job 7 - 5:07 . Job 8 - 8:39 . Job 9 - 12:18 . Job 10 - 16:43 . Job 11 - 20:09 . Isaiah 27 - 22:56 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
