GUEST SPEAKER: RUSSELL MATHERLY

Esther now understands that she must face death and confront her husband, the king. Yet the threat of death is removed almost immediately. Now Esther's real work begins in this continuing story of God's faithfulness.

Esther is confronted with something we all must face: Death. In order to save her people, she must face the possibility of losing everything. But through her crisis, through her discomfort, she will be changed.

[Sunday Morning Sermon] The Apostle Paul is about to die. Before his time is up, he wants to talk about the Bible. He wants to tell Timothy why the Bible is the most important thing in his chaotic world....and in ours.

Haman begins to unleash his plan by gaining support from King A. Throughout their conversation we see what evil really looks like and learn lessons along the way. And yet, even in the midst of Haman's plan, we see that God's greater plan is unfolding exactly as He wants.

At the conclusion of one chapter and the beginning of another, the story shifts from Esther to her cousin Mordecai. Mordecai finds himself in the middle of not just one plot for murder...but two.

We finally meet Mordecai and Esther (but is that her real name?) and we learn more about the heart of King Ahasuerus and how we can fight to be different from him by using God's Word.

Tonight we encounter our first problem. King A becomes furious because of his own foolishness and asks his "friends" for help. But how much can we really find help when we do not look for it in God?

We begin our new study through the book of Esther. We meet some of our characters, and journey into kingdom of Persia. But one character is strangely absent.....or is He?

Special Guest Bryon Schirner closes our series on the Psalms tonight with a look at Psalm 97. We see how God's glory helps us, convicts us, and fulfills us.

This psalm gets even more beautiful the longer you read it! David takes us even deeper into the hear of God as we learn not only that God forgives, but why He forgives us.
