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.

The Great Reversal Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 18, 2019

There’s still an unfinished task. The first edict of the King issued through Haman still stands. • The ...read more
