1. God of the Hills and Valleys - Jim Logan

The sermon explores the theological distinction between a God who is only present in times of triumph and one who is sufficient in the valleys of suffering. Drawing from 1 Kings 20:28 and Psalm 23, the message emphasizes that God's rod and staff provide comfort and protection even in the shadow of death, countering the notion that divine absence is indicated by hardship. The speaker uses the life of Job to illustrate that suffering can serve as a refining fire rather than a sign of divine displeasure, urging believers to maintain worship and focus on Christ rather than their own circumstances. By examining the Hebrew attributes of Job's character, the text highlights that God's testimony of a believer's integrity remains valid even under intense spiritual attack. The central call is to recognize the sovereign control of God, resist the enemy's attempts to shift focus away from Jesus, and find peace in the knowledge that the Shepherd guides and protects through every dark season.
