Helping the Hurting: How to Support Friends in Crisis | Dr. David Jeremiah

Video Description

What does it truly mean to help those in pain? We'll examine Job’s encounter with his so-called friends to learn how sarcasm, assumptions, and advice can worsen someone's suffering—and discover the healing power of presence, compassion, and truth. Drawing from the emotional depth of Job’s story, this sermon provides practical wisdom for supporting friends through life’s most difficult moments. Plus, find hope in the ultimate friend—Jesus—who never fails and always understands. 00:00 - Stuck in the Barren Present: Job’s Emotional Paralysis 01:46 - Enter Job’s Friends: Comforters Turned Critics 05:03 - How Not to Help the Hurting: Lessons from Eliphaz 17:47 - What Hurting People Really Need: Support, Not Sarcasm 28:39 - Job’s Honest Cry to God in His Despair 31:06 - When Nights Are Sleepless and Days Feel Hopeless 40:22 - Jesus: The Friend Who Will Never Fail You Strength for Today - 365 daily devotionals: https://bit.ly/43pMzNR .....................................................................................................................................................................
