How Great is Our God, Part 2—by Justin Renton
August 22, 2022
Sermon summary:
Job 9: 1–6 Job lost perspective of who God was. He lost all he owned in one day, had his children die in one swoop; his health suffered, his reputation was shot. Yet he kept his view of God pure. He saw how amazing he is.
Look up and see. Examine what he has made.
Sometimes we pray expecting God to come through and he doesn't. How do we respond?
We cannot argue or disrespect him.
Job 36:26 The numbers of His years are infinite. Eternity is hard to grasp.
Isaiah 55:8–9 God's ways are greater than ours.
Hardship make us look up at God. We don't understand why but have to trust him.
Decide to Trust God:
- In the good and bad
- With the easy and hard scriptures.
- With your past and your future.

Psalm 23 paints God as our shepherd—guiding, providing, and protecting. In Jesus, the Good Shepherd, we find the same care. Choose godly community over isolation, grow through mentorship, and live to reflect his love in a world that needs it daily, faithfully.
Jesus, the Bread of Life, meets our deepest needs. We chase power, comfort, and distractions, yet still feel empty. True satisfaction is found in him alone. Feed your soul daily with God’s Word before anything else, and let him be your centre.
Living like Jesus means denying self, sharing the gospel in every season, trusting God in hardship, and reaching the lost with grace, courage, and faith.
