On Sunday I preached part 9 in our series through Job. It is entitled "Speaking Up For God" and is taken from Job chapters 32-37. You can listen or download it HERE.
I’ve really enjoyed your series through Job, Todd.
I was listening to a broadcast from Ravi Zacharias a few days ago where he quoted G.K. Chesterton… and it came to mind when listening your sermon from Sunday. I’m paraphrasing, but Chesterton said that for the Christian, joy is a central factor of our existence and sorrow is peripheral — because the fundamental questions of life are answered, but some of the peripheral ones (like when tragedy strikes) may not be. But for the unbeliever, just the opposite is true… sorrow becomes central and joy becomes peripheral.
A native of Houston, Texas, Todd served as youth pastor in churches in Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
Todd was called as the first pastor of Metro East Baptist Church in September of 1999. In November 2008 Todd became the Teaching Pastor of Church of the Saviour in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
Following a call to the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), Todd became the Lead Pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Harrisonburg, VA in August of 2013.
He is a graduate of Southwest Baptist University and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Todd and his wife, Karen, have been married since 1990 and have three children: Kate, Ryan, and Matthew.
"Therefore the Christ who is grasped by faith and who lives in the heart is the true Christian righteousness, on account of which God counts us righteous and grants us eternal life."
Martin Luther
"The Gospel is sheer good tidings, not demand but promise, not duty but gift."
