Second Sunday After Pentecost - Rev. William H. Lamar IV

In this powerful sermon, Rev. William H. Lamar IV explores the story of Job and his wife, focusing on the often-overlooked voice of "Mrs. Job." He discusses themes of anonymity, identity, and the collateral damage of suffering, particularly in relation to women. The sermon challenges traditional interpretations of faith and suffering, urging listeners to confront the realities of their beliefs and the God they worship. Rev. Lamar emphasizes the need for a faith that evolves through tragedy and calls for the dismantling of harmful theological constructs and misogyny.


Scripture - Job 2:9
Then his wife said to him, “Do you still persist in your integrity? Curse God and die.”
