    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?

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. But from that point on… the story gets complicated. King Xerxes has a trusted ...read more

    How to follow God even though you have been betrayed.

    In our text this morning in John 13 deals with the issue of betrayal. With a kiss, Judas betrayed Jesus.
