I want to talk a little bit tonight about struggles and kind of started off. I want to kind of walk you through some of the periods of my life where I've had struggles. When I was in grade school, elementary school, the only struggles I ever worried about in my life

were the kind that involved a belt in my bear behind. I got a little older, I got into junior high and the

struggles involved girls and fitting in and being Mr. Athletic.

Then I got to high school, and then it really involved girls.

And it really involves fitting in.

Then I got to college, and I met my my wife and I know most of you are thinking that I'm going to say that marriage is one of my struggles.

But I learned, those of you who know me the best, my mother-in-law was here two weeks ago, and she stayed for nine days.

After that, I've learned that my greatest struggle in life is spending nine days with my mother-in-law.

Saying that, I'm going to stay over here away from my wife

so I don't get chased out of here.

Now my greatest struggle is seeing her after church. But seriously, if I

asked everybody to raise their hands who's struggled in their life, I'm pretty sure

we would all put a couple hands up.

And talking tonight, I wanted to talk about something that we all experience.

And God really put Job on my heart.

So I want to answer a few questions that we don't really think about when we're struggling.

And tonight it's called a turn for the worst.

The story of Job is a serious turn for the worst.

Here's a guy who was at the pinnacle of prosperity.

And like that, he was in the pit of poverty.

Immediately, he lost his family.

The Bible says he had a great family life.
