Ugly Love

In this powerful message, we dive deep into the book of Job, exploring the nature of 'ugly love' and how it shapes our faith in times of suffering. The central theme revolves around maintaining integrity and hope even when life seems unbearable. We're reminded that our posture of worship isn't just in joyful moments, but also when we're sitting in the ash heap, questioning God's presence. The story of Job teaches us that it's okay to lament, to bring our pain before God, and to wrestle with difficult questions. This message challenges us to consider: what would it take for us to leave God? It encourages us to develop a faith that endures, a love that shows up in the messiest parts of life, and a presence that comforts even when words fail. As we face our own trials, we're called to embody this 'ugly love' - a love that's truthful yet careful, that stays present in suffering, and that refuses to let grief turn into verbal shrapnel.
