Ministry to the Suffering

In the second sermon on the Book of Job, Pastor Chad uses Job 2:11–13 to show how Job’s three friends initially model a godly way of responding to suffering through costly presence, shared grief, and seven days of silent companionship. He calls the church to move toward those who suffer, meet them with compassionate presence rather than quick answers, and practice humble, non‑anxious companionship that reflects Christ’s own willingness to weep with those who weep.
