Esther is a fascinating story. It reads like a dramatic fairytale but is a genuine account of God's chosen people in the Old Testament. God is never mentioned, but his fingerprints are unmistakably all over the events that occur throughout the drama. God was at work then and is speaking to us through those same events.

Daniel's faithfulness puts him in the heart of the lion's den. As popular as this story and as well as we might know it, it's always good to reread it and consider what the Spirit would teach us today afresh. Derek Jones does a phenomenal job leading us through Daniel 6 today.

Historically speaking, since the church's inauguration, it hasn't been a matter of when the people of God will suffer. The well-known story of Daniel's three friends' refusal to bow down to Nebuchadnezzar's statue in Daniel 3 helps us prepare for inevitable persecution. We need to expect it, do not fear, be brave, and rejoice that we are counted as worthy to share in Christ's sufferings.

Judah is finally taken into exile. In the first wave, Daniel is taken to serve in the courts of the king. In Daniel 1, we are reminded of God's faithfulness and the call for us to faithfully live for him wherever he places us for however long he has us there.

God's message to Jeremiah for the people of Judah tells them why they are going to exile. The king is dethroned, the temple is destroyed, and the people are deported. It's easy to miss God's goodness and faithfulness in these acts of judgment, but Derek Riley helps us to capture the bigger picture of what God was doing in the big picture of redemptive history.

The book of Jeremiah records many of the prophet's sermons. He warns the people of God's impending judgment. It's not all gloom for Judah. Jeremiah calls them to amend their ways and remember to trust in the faithful, steadfast love of the LORD.
