    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

    This sermon talks about God’s will and how important it is to allow Him control of our lives and our destiny. He can be the Master Painter on the canvas of our lives.

    Introduction: How do you measure the value of an abstract painting? After all, what the artist sees, will probably be totally different than what the observer sees. A white canvas with a single black dot will cause people to stand around and say "Ooh!" "Ahh!" and then sell for a million dollars. ...read more

By his death on the cross in our place, He paid our sin debt. He gives us a new standing before God the ...read more

    Use Jesus’ teaching to demonstrate God’s desire for us to reach out to the poor and lost and the eternal implications of a real place of torment called hell for those who do not worship (love) God as revealed through Jesus’ resurrection.

    Jesus came to earth as "God incognito" and many never recognized him.

    We all probably at one time or another have seen the old TV show “The Lone Ranger.” He always rode in on that great white steed “Silver” accompanied by his faithful sidekick “Tonto.” He’d ride into town ready to deal with the “Do-Badders.” Of course his identity was perfectly camouflaged by the ...read more
