Has the year we’re having left you feeling stuck in the middle of what used to be and what you hope for in the future? Join us for another Online Gathering as we hear an encouraging word about the grace and goodness of God in a sermon entitled Between Grace and Glory.

Are you feeling overcome by evil? Like everything and everyone is against you? Pastor Ray continues in the book of Esther in the message "All the King's Horses" and reveals how God's will overrides man's intentions in the lives of the Jews and in our lives as well. He can take our circumstances and turn them for good. 

We continue in the book of Esther this Sunday in the sermon "Now That You Mention It" looking at two men living parallel lives--one destined for greatness and the other for the gallows. Pastor Ray reveals how involved God really is in a story where everything seemed to be unraveling. When the world around us seems to be falling apart, we too need to see that this is bigger than just you and me.

We read of Queen Esther's story last time as she put her life on the line. We learn how she thoughtfully positions herself and is beautifully robed for the occasion of addressing her king. Let us take a moment to consider our next steps by going to the King of kings in prayer so that we do not misstep. Do you robe yourself with the beauty of the Gospel as you approach others?

In a time of persecution, protests, and unrest on top of a global pandemic, how do we become catalysts for change? Pastor Ray directs us to God's Word in the book of Esther as we see how He used one young lady who risked her life for others who were being oppressed. We are challenged to put God's will and others first. Maybe you too were born for such a time as this.
