With the king's decree ordering the death of all the Jews, Esther and Mordecai are faced with a crisis that could cost them their lives. We see them turning to trust in the Lord to save them.

What does it mean to "wait for the Lord?" In Esther 3, we see how selfish intentions and pride can cause chaos in all aspects of life.

In chapter 2, we are introduced to three complex characters. In the king, we see the lack of accountability in his attitude and behavior. We are also introduced to Mordecai and his cousin Esther as they are faced with choices of faith vs convenience.

In Esther 1, we see King Xerxes so wrapped up in himself that he makes a drunken, foolish decision. Instead of putting his wife's needs first, he choose to demoralize and shame her. Today, we contrast this against the example of what a godly marriage should look like.

As we begin our new series on the book of Esther, we see King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) throwing a massive party that lasted 180 days. This party was about indulging in every pleasure imaginable. We can observe that the kingdom this king is building is all about his own glory. What type of kingdom are you building in your life?

Though the Word of God we have in the Bible, we can see that words can carry tremendous power. Our words can be used to uplift or tear down those around us.

As we look forward to a new year, we take some time to examine our hearts to see if there is one thing we could do to grow closer to Jesus in 2022.

As we wrap up our study of the book of John, we hear Jesus saying, "Follow Me.” Join us, as we examine what it looks like to successfully follow after Jesus.

Do you have regrets in life? We all do, and when we consider John 21, we can be sure Peter had regrets about his denial of Jesus. But, Jesus responds to him with grace and brings healing to their relationship. We can confident that God’s grace is always greater than our regrets.

After his resurrection, Jesus appears to his disciples bringing them a message of peace in the midst of their chaos. Thomas had a hard time accepting what he was seeing, but Jesus is gracious with him.
