Today's text taken from the beginning of Esther 6 is almost comedic in its timing. But, in reality, it's deadly serious to God, who is working to save His people from destruction at the hands of Haman. We don't see God working directly, but His fingerprints are all over the details. - Pastor Kevin

I must apologize for the audio in this message; I'm not sure what's going on in our mixing room. But, in any case, once again our examination of this short text brings us to Jesus and the cross of His salvation. Let's delve into the details. - Pastor Kevin

A little shorter message today to make time for Communion. But still an important and pivotal text to consider. - Pastor Kevin

Queen Esther and Mordecai have a discussion (through the queen's servant) regarding what to do about the 'decree of death' enacted by the king and Haman. It is rich with theological and practical truth, so let's consider it together. - Pastor Kevin

When Mordecai learns that he and his people are ascribed a date of destruction by the king and Haman, his inner grief overflows and pours out. The queen, Esther, learns of his grief and seeks to find out what is happening. Mordecai pours out his heart to her, and there is much we can learn from this heavy interaction. - Pastor Kevin

The king and Haman join forces to manifest Haman's hatred of God's people, the Jews, in a written decree to destroy the entire race. And we can learn so much from this story about how our enemy works, even today, to bring about our destruction. But we must never forget that God will bring victory in His own time, according to His own purposes, and so we walk in His victory. - Pastor Kevin

Today, we learn about Mordecai and Haman and the conflict that they find themselves in there in the Persian citadel. Ancient history? Yes. Applicable to us in 2025? Certainly! - Pastor Kevin

Mordecai and Esther set all us a beautiful example of how humble obedience has the power to change the world. - Pastor Kevin

Things are beginning to heat up there in ancient Persia in the court of King Ahasuerus... and not in a good way! We are introduced for the first time to Mordecai and Esther in these verses; let's see what we can learn from the details given to us in the text. - Pastor Kevin

In the second half of the first chapter of the book of Esther, the king and his control go into damage control mode. But the king's advisors depend on 'human wisdom' to bring the situation under control. This only makes things much, much worse. What's our alternative as disciples of Christ? - Pastor Kevin
