// Covenant Family Church

At Covenant Family Church we seek to apply the word of God to our lives, not just on Sundays but throughout the entire week.

To this end, we worship God, study the Bible, pray for one another, evangelize and disciple our own children, practice family worship, care for the needy, witness to the lost, and seek to advance Christ’s kingdom here on earth.

It is our singular purpose to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. We hope that this website encourages you with beneficial resources as you grow in your own walk with the Lord.

Moreover, please know that you and your family are welcome to join us for worship on the Lord’s Day. Our members come from all over the greater St. Louis area, but we welcome visitors who want to check us out or who are just traveling through.

In Christ’s Service,
Pastor Marcus J. Serven

Job 14:14, 19:25-26

Modern-day living can certainly be a confusing and confounding experience! However, there is a lesson that you can learn from one who lived long ago, that ancient man of the Bible—Job. Job had everything going for himself—family, friends, and finances. Yet, when all of these were taken away he experienced massive amounts of personal confusion, which lead to self-doubt, self-pity, and extensive soul-searching. In the midst of Job’s personal despair he asks a crucial question about life, “If a man dies, shall he live again?” (cf. Job 14:14). The answer to this perplexing question comes later in the text, when he asserts by faith, “For I know that my Redeemer lives…” (cf. Job 19:25-26). How did this significant change in Job’s attitude come about? Where did his new found confidence come from? The answer to these questions leads us to an important lesson about life—true happiness does not consist in possessions, but in your relationship with your Creator.

The Main Point of this Sermon:

By trusting in His Redeemer today, Job was given hope for tomorrow.

1. Job’s Great Confusion, (Job 14:14)

2. Job’s Growing Certainty, (Job 19:25a)

3. Job’s Personal Redeemer, (Job 19:25b)

4. Job’s Hope for Tomorrow, (Job 19:26)
