     | 6,246 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

    The Search For A Queen (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 17, 2021
     | 2,685 views

    As chapter two of Esther continues, we see more of the sovereignty of God revealed. Although it appeared His people had been forsaken, God had a plan and would use Esther to help bring about its fulfillment. Sovereignty is an attribute that brings peace and comfort to believers.

    The Search for a Queen (Part 2) Esther 2: 10-18 We have learned that due to her refusal to accommodate the king’s ridiculous demands, Vashti had been removed from her position as queen. After some time had passed, the king’s advisors developed a plan to locate and crown a new queen. The plan ...read more

    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.

    Heaven Set In Motion Series

     | 1,084 views

    In the story of Esther and Mordecai, the events seem to perfectly fit together at just the right times for things to happen. Coincidence? Not likely. Though God is not mentioned by name in Esther, God was working in their lives and continues to work in ours today.

    Introduction Video Ill.: The Story of Esther - Second Look Films (segment 3) We are continuing our study today based loosely on Max Lucado’s book, You Were Made for This Moment. When we started, we saw that Esther and Mordecai just wanted to blend in — to be cosy in the Persian culture. Don’t ...read more

    The Price Of Freedom

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 25, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,278 views

    We must understand that Christ paid the ultimate price for our freedom from sin and the clutches of Satan. The price of our freedom from sin was paid in blood. How do we respond to that sacrifice will ultimately determine our eternity too!

    Opening illustration: When I talked to some young men shortly before D-day during Gulf War II, I observed that they were scared. None of them wanted to die. However, the vast majority expressed their conviction that the cause for which they were fighting was right and worthy of the risk. Queen ...read more

     | 6,471 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

    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
