Job’s Reputation Story (Job 1:1-5)
Good Man – praying man, cloud, crown – Let me tell you a story about Job, a man whom God blessed that lost all of his wealth and everything he cared about.
Wealthy Tribe – father & children – Job was abundantly blessed. He faithfully worshiped God. He had many sons and daughters, servants, and livestock herds.
Generous Spirit – house, door, table, bread, cup – Job hosted many feasts at his house for all of his children and friends. They enjoyed life and practiced peace.
Personal Sacrifices – altar, animal, flames, smoke – Job desired above all to be faithful in God’s sight. He regularly offered burnt sacrifices for his family’s sins.
