This Lord’s Day, the second friend of Job speaks to him – Bildad. In his words, we find a self-righteous and cruel friend who models for us how not to counsel fellow believers who are suffering.

This Lord’s Day evening Pastor Jim will bring a message aligned with QBC’s 2022 vision – a church caring, sharing and growing together in Christ.

This Lord’s Day, we continue with part two of Job’s response to the counsel from his friend Eliphaz. In it, we will hear a suffering child of God brutally honest and transparent in prayer before his God. It is a wonderful picture of our close we are to be to God as revealed in the qualities and authenticity of our prayers.
