    The Defiance Of The Queen Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 2, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,281 views

    Queen Vashti was expected to behave in a way contrary to conscience and she refused the king's command. Her refusal was the right decision to make, but it cost her dearly. Living upright will not always gain one the favor of the world.

    The Defiance of the Queen Esther 1: 10-22 As we consider our text today, we must do so in light of the preceding verses. King Ahasuerus had thrown a six month long party, culminating with a seven day finale. He had provided an elaborate escapade for all the princes and servants within the ...read more

    We are introduced to God's cast in His sovereign plan, Mordecai and Esther. They may be unlikely candidates but God uses them to accomplish His purposes.

    With the deposed of the Queen (Vashti) in chapter 1, which happened in the 3rd year of King Xerxes’ reign (1:3), the stage is set for the rise of Esther. • The Jewish girl Esther was made Queen in chapter 2, in the 7th year of the King’s reign (2:16), so some 4 years have passed between chapter 1 ...read more

    Esther comes to understand the providence of God in retrospect. God has been preparing her for such a time as this.

Haman, the evil high official to the King, hatched a plot to kill, not just Mordecai (his enemy and Jewish subordinate), but also his entire ...read more

     | 17,550 views

    The future is filled with possibilities both good and evil. There may be some very unpleasant things ahead for you that you can avoid as Jesus taught in Mt 24:20,21. We will examine a very clear example of overcoming the evil decree found in the book of Esther.

    Overcoming The Evil Decree I want to begin by explaining what I mean by an evil decree. An evil decree is something painful and hurtful that may or may not happen unless you take action to stop it. Shortly I will show exactly that from the biblical book of Esther. But as a little background ...read more

    God worked no miracles but worked through the seemingly unremarkable circumstances of life to accomplish His extra-ordinary purpose!

    “Esther Becomes Queen” Esther 2:1-23 We sometimes hear statements like; “As fate would have it” or “It just so happened” but in reality they reveal a basic lack of under-standing about the sovereignty of God.
