Evening Sermon - 4th January 2026 - Confident Hope Amid Suffering, from Job's Ash Heap

Episode description

This evening's sermon is delivered by Rev George Speers.

Preaching from Job 13:15, the Reverend George Speers explores what it means to hope in God even when life collapses around us. Rev Speers unpacks Job's declaration 'Though he slay me, I will hope in him' under three headings: that this confidence supposes suffering, professes faith, and suggests difficulty, drawing on examples from Daniel, Habakkuk, Hannah, Abraham and Peter along the way. It's a searching, honest sermon about anchoring trust in God's character rather than our circumstances.
