    I am so glad I listened to this. Funny how you could be raised in church, heard thousands of sermons, and think you know everything. Then a message like this comes along and blows your mind!

    This is one of the most compelling and relevant sermons I've heard in my life. It gave a name to a heart sin of mine that I couldn't quite name. I feared God would hand me over to my self torment, but instead he has led me to this sermon, he has convicted me, and has given me hope to be released from it. Thanks for letting God use you to speak.

    In the introduction: "'moving from frustration to RESENTMENT"? surely you mean 'satisfaction' - Excellent sermons, thank you

    I am a new Christian but I have always been fascinated by the lobsided cherry picked verse all preachers allude to regarding job, "the lord gave and the lord...". Here it's mentioned at 23:37. Preachers depict job as a kind of Christian superhero in the midst of suffering as if he endured without ever cursing God. Well he may not have used curse words but please read job chapter 10. He had clearly given up on God. Toward the end of the chapter he wanted to die and asked God to leave him alone. I have yet to hear a preacher talk about this chapter. Then read job 15:13. Here his friends remarked about job's rage against God and there is a tacit reference to some unsavoury words job uttered against God. So much for our "superhero ".
    I write this because I can never understand why preachers never mention the whole picture regarding Job. They seem to portray the wrong picture having read all 42 chapters. To me it's a story of God's grace not because of job's faithfulness but despite his wavering faithfulness and we are all the same. It's easy to enjoy and trust God when the going is good but when it isn't our faith waxes and wanes. How does one be content in the midst of suffering? I have had nerve pain where I could not sit, stand or lie down....not much left to do. All I wanted was the pain to ebb. Here I was not content in my status. I wanted to be free from pain, then I would be content....so how wrong am I with my discontentment? How have I misunderstood the preacher if indeed I have?

      Great comment. I've always felt the same way about the book of Job. Also, while I find this series on contentment to be very helpful and eye opening, it is hard to see how helpful it could be to those in intense, persistent suffering. I'm not sure it applies the same. It feels calloused to tell someone who is in agony that in addition to persevering through their indescribable pain, they also need to keep their hearts completely in order and be content. I'm not accusing Colin Smith of doing that. But I've heard others do so and it's irksome
