Courage In The Face Of Death

Contributed by Joel Mcreynolds on Mar 24, 2016

After spending time in fasting and prayer, Esther acted courageously. Because God is in control, we can live courageously.

Introduction: Tonight I would like for us to look at the book of Esther. This is a strange book in the Bible due to the fact that God is not really mentioned. This has led some to cast it out, or think that it should not be part of the Bible. Esther in Church History 1. Not one commentary was ...read more

For Such A Time As This Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 22, 2019

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

We ended last week on a sad note, with Mordecai and the Jews across the Persian Empire mourning. They had just received an edict for their execution. 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

God Has A Plan Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 6, 2019

We see the remarkable providence of God in this chapter. Everything happens according to God's way and time to accomplish His purpose. No one can plan for this. It is humanly impossible to plan for it. Only God could have done it.

We are going to see the remarkable work of God’s providence today. • In chapter 6 the tables are turned and evil is overcome by good. • And it happened almost imperceptibly, without us noticing it was coming or expecting it to turn out this way. • Let’s read the entire chapter – Esther ...read more

The Great Reversal Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 18, 2019

God did a great reversal. On an individual level, everything that Haman has and craved for, ended up with Mordecai. On a national level, the Jews were given the right to fight for their survival, against sure extermination.

The enemy Haman has been removed. The King’s anger subsided. Mordecai has gotten his recognition, but the problem remains. • The removal of Haman is not the end of the problem for the Jews. There’s still an unfinished task. The first edict of the King issued through Haman still stands. • The ...read more

Our God Is Greater

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 15, 2019

John declared that the God within us is greater than the god of this world. Paul revealed that if God was for us, who or what could possibly come against us? These two statements reveal attributes of God that complement each other, and provide comfort and assurance for believers.

Our God is Greater 1 John 4:4; Romans 8:31 Today I would like to conclude the series dealing with profound statements in the Bible by actually considering two statements from different Apostles. These two statements are personal favorites, having brought much comfort to my life over the years. ...read more

God Is Sovereign Series

Contributed by David Owens on Dec 9, 2019

As Paul begins to deal with the questions of God's original election of the Jews and the later inclusion of the Gentiles, Paul drives home the point that God is sovereign.

A. It has been said: “There are two sure things in life: 1. There is a God; 2. You are not Him!” 1. I would like to add a third sure thing: “And this God, whom you are not, is sovereign and can do whatever He decides to do.” 2.

And It Shall Come To Pass Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 18, 2017

Nothing is random to God. There are no accidents with God. He is sovereignly in control, at all times and in all ways.

Going against God’s warning, Ahab decides to retake Ramoth-gilead. READ 1 Kings 22:29-38. Ahab has a battle plan - disguise himself. No one will be able to identify him, if they are out to kill him. • It’s strange. He did not believe prophet Micaiah’s words and yet somehow feared that it ...read more

The Truth Exposed Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 9, 2021

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

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.

Victorious In A Foreign Land (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 30, 2021

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.

God Has To Win Control Over All The Areas Of My Life Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Sep 25, 2020

I know that we do not give God that 100% control. So, I set out to find a Scriptural example of a man or a woman who did not give that control over to God to see what we can learn from that example.

Introduction Last week, we began a new series about the four big areas of our life that God must win. The first one we talked about was God must win our choices. At the end of the day, there ought to be more checks in God’s column on things that I chose to do God’s way rather than yielding to the ...read more
