    The book of Job is a study in the reality of suffering and the sovereignty of God over evil. It is not a text that you hear mentioned on Father’s Day. But according to Job 1:1-5, he was an exceptional father.

    Haman didn’t care what his revenge was going to cost. Ahaseurus didn’t care that his kingdom was in chaos. Do you care about the world around you and how your actions affect it? Jesus does.

    Jesus’ command that we pick up our cross and follow him is a choice, and a choice that doesn’t come without sacrifice, but also bring sjoy and fulfillment

    There’s the story of a soldier frantically digging in during battle as shells fall all around him. Suddenly his hand feels something metal and he grabs it. It’s a silver cross. Another shell explodes and he buries his head in his arms. He feels someone jump in the foxhole with him and he looks over ...read more

     | 81,920 views

    There are 4 major lessons we learn from the book of Esther: 1. God has a plan for your life. 2. Satan has a plan for your life. 3. You have a choice. 4. God has the answer.

    All I need to know I learned from Noah’s Ark, and it is quite amazing. One, don’t miss the boat. Two, remember that we are all in the same boat. Three, plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark. Four, stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really ...read more

    The challenge Esther received is found in Esther 4:14 and it may very well be the challenge that our Savior has for you at this point in your life.

    Why are you positioned where you are? Why do you work where you work? Why do you live where you live? Why do you go to school where you go to school? Why do you go to church where you go to church? You do what you do because God has assigned you there - and here – “for such at time as ...read more

    We all know how heroic Esther was but we forget about the stand Vashti took

    He was half in the bag when it all began. His name was Xerxes and he was the King of Persia. If we pull up a map here we discover that Persia is located in this area making it modern day Iran. However we are told that when this story happened Xerxes kingdom stretched from India, which is up here ...read more
