    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 14, 2021
     | 4,059 views

    The Jews continue to celebrate the Feast of Purim to this day in remembrance of God's faithful deliverance from certain death. We have reason to celebrate as well. Christ provided the means of salvation, reconciliation, and eternal life.

    The Feast of Purim Esther 9: 20-32 Our text today deals with the Feast of Purim, a festival that was instituted following the Jews deliverance from Haman, and those who supported his wicked agenda. Purim became a feast of celebration and praise for their deliverance and prosperity. Christians do ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 7, 2021
     | 2,110 views

    Although we can't always see it, God is working on our behalf. Even when it sees as if hope is lost, God remains in control. He is sovereignly working behind the scenes in the lives of His people.

    Victorious in a Foreign Land (Part 2) Esther 9: 1-19 At this point in our study, we have considered much regarding the lives of Esther, Mordecai, and the Jews living within the Persian Empire. Following many ups and downs, the pendulum has finally swung in their favor. Although they couldn’t see ...read more

    Victorious In A Foreign Land (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 30, 2021
     | 2,607 views

    Regardless of who we are, or where we live, we all face seasons of comfort and ease countered by seasons of trials and difficulty. There is one constant in life regardless of the season we must face – the presence and help of the Lord.

    Victorious in a Foreign Land (Part 1) Esther 9: 1-19 The emotional roller coaster for Esther, Mordecai, and the Jews within the kingdom of Persian continues. They have experienced a series of highs and lows. It seems as if they really didn’t have time to enjoy a victory before being confronted ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2021
     | 2,994 views

    Our lives face much adversity at times, but we can rest in the sovereign hand of God. Thankfully His Word is forever settled and it will never be altered or countered by the devices of men or Satan.

    A Counter Decree Esther 8: 9-17 Although much had changed in a short period of time, work remained for Esther and Mordecai. We must understand the process involved regarding an official decree of the king. Once a decree was signed, it could not be altered or changed. It remained law until it was ...read more

     | 2,878 views

    God is always at work, and His plans are always fulfilled according to His desire. We can take comfort in that truth. Our Lord never changes. There is hope and security in Christ.

    A New Day Dawning Esther 8: 1-8 Take a moment to consider the range of emotion Esther and Mordecai have experienced up to this point in their lives. They were living with the other Jews, captive in Persia. Life may not have been terrible, but they were not free citizens of the kingdom. Esther is ...read more

    The Truth Exposed Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 9, 2021
     | 3,200 views

    The enemy brings much opposition and false accusation against believers. While he has power, he is no match for the sovereign Lord. As we stand for truth, we rest knowing truth will always prevail.

    The Truth Exposed Esther 7: 1-10 Take a moment to consider the many ups and downs the Jews have experienced at this point. All who are in Persia were either removed from their homeland by force, or born into captivity in a foreign land. One of their own had been crowned queen of the kingdom, but ...read more

     | 5,462 views

    God holds absolute control over the lives of men. He is sovereign in every aspect of our lives. His divine plans will always be carried out according to His sovereign will.

    Mordecai is Honored Esther 6:10-14 I think you will agree that the sixth chapter of Esther is a very exciting text. In fact, the twists and turns within this biblical account would make a best-selling novel or movie script. However, they are not fiction; this is an actual account of the lives of ...read more

     | 2,234 views

    Life has its share of difficulty and uncertainty. At times, we all wonder where life will lead and how we will overcome the obstacles we face. Even in the worst of situations, we can take comfort knowing our sovereign Lord is in control.

    Sovereignty within Mayhem Esther 6:1-9 Although their hearts are not filled with joy, Mordecai and Esther must have been encouraged somewhat by her meeting with Ahasuerus. He had extended her favor, while granting her request. The banquet with the king and Haman was scheduled, and Esther would now ...read more

    The Minister Of Mayhem Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 5, 2021
     | 2,488 views

    Believers are aware of the adversary we face in this walk of faith. Since the fall of Adam, Satan has sought to hinder and defeat believers. He has power and influence, but like all of creation, Satan must submit to the sovereign power of God.

    The Minister of Mayhem Esther 5: 9-14 Our text today follows Esther’s entrance before the king. She was received of Ahasuerus and promised that her request would be granted. She had invited Ahasuerus and Haman to a small banquet that served as an invitation to a larger banquet the following day – ...read more

    Faithful To Intercede Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 28, 2021
     | 5,424 views

    Prayer is the most powerful tool believers possess, but it is often little used. We have access to the throne of grace, enjoying the ability and privilege to make our requests known unto Christ our King. We must take advantage of this blessed privilege.

    Faithful to Intercede Esther 5: 1-8 These were certainly troubling times for Mordecai, Esther, and the entire Jewish population within the Persian Empire. Haman had influenced Ahasuerus to sign a decree, calling for the complete destruction of the Jews within the kingdom. Although they were shaken ...read more

     | 4,031 views

    The redeemed have been reconciled to God through Christ the Lord. The miraculous reconciliation is too wondrous to comprehend. Along with the blessings associated with reconciliation come responsibilities.

    The Realities of Reconciliation 2 Corinthians 5: 17-21 The passage we have read today is rich in doctrine and blessing for the believer. Through the atoning death of Christ on the cross, providing our redemption, God has reconciled believers to Himself. We have been freed from the bondage of our ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 21, 2021
     | 5,687 views

    While we are thankful for the blessings associated with our relationship with Christ, we know living the Christian life is difficult at best. Life is not without adversity, but the Lord's provision and guidance are sufficient. He has brought us to this place in life for such a time as this.

    Called for such a Time Esther 4: 10-17 The entire fourth chapter of Esther deals with her reaction to the decree signed by Ahasuerus regarding the Jews and the conversation she had with Mordecai concerning this disturbing plan. Our text today is a continuation of that conversation. One can only ...read more

    Grievous Mourning In Persia Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 14, 2021
     | 2,826 views

    The Jews were condemned and needed someone to intercede on their behalf before the king. All are born in a body of flesh, prone to sin, separated and condemned before God. Our only hope was for someone to provide deliverance for us and intercede on our behalf.

    Grievous Mourning in Persia Esther 4: 1-9 As we continue our study in Esther, the tension and anxiety continue to increase for the Jews in captivity. Haman’s hatred for Mordecai prompted him to persuade Ahasuerus to sign a decree calling for the complete annihilation of the Jewish population ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,179 views

    Jesus concluded the profound statements from the cross with a final prayer to the Father. This was not a resignation of defeat, but the words of the sovereign Lord who remained in complete control, even in death.

    Father, Into Thy Hands I Commend My Spirit Luke 23:46 This morning we come to the last of the seven sayings our blessed Lord spoke while hanging upon the cross. These were the last words Jesus would speak before He yielded up the ghost and died. As with the first and fourth saying, these last ...read more

    Haman’s Sinister Scheme Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 7, 2021
     | 3,769 views

    The plot continues to thicken for Mordecai and Esther. Just when it appeared the Jews would enjoy a season of peace and prosperity, Haman devised a plan to destroy the them throughout the kingdom. Regardless of Haman's intentions, God remained sovereign and would preserve His people.

    Haman’s Sinister Scheme Esther 3: 8-15 While Esther, Mordecai, and the Jews within Persia may have rejoiced in Esther being crowned as queen, they would soon find themselves dealing with an executive order from Ahasuerus that would strike fear in their hearts. The hatred Haman had for Mordecai had ...read more
