Faithful To Intercede Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 28, 2021

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.

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

Why Are You Here? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 30, 2025

Why was Esther in a King's palace? Was it because God put her there for a task He had in mind? And why Christians here at church? Are we here because of a task God has in mind for us?

The story of Esther has fascinated people for centuries. It’s the story of a beautiful Jewish girl named Esther, and of the King of Persia named Xerxes (Ahasuerus) who fell in love with her and made her his queen.

Coincidence Or Providence? Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

Providence is coincidence with a purpose-God's purpose. It is no longer a mere matter of chance, but is the fulfilling of God's plan in history.

Everyone experiences coincidence somewhere in life. Two people say the same thing at the same time. You go to call someone and the phone rings, and it is the person you were going to call. You flip open the hymnal, and it opens right to the number you were looking for. On and on we could go until ...read more
