The church in Galatia seems to be more interested in following the Law than living by faith. In Galatians 6 the apostle Paul tells us what it really looks like to follow Jesus and bear His signature over our lives.

(Galatians 5:22, 23) Jesus made it clear that the evidence that someone is a Christian is the fruit they bear. But what evidence of fruit bearing should we find in our own lives as we examine whether or not we’re in the faith?

(Galatians 4) What are the requirements for salvation? In Paul’s letter to the Galatians he deals with the nature of Law and grace and how they relate to the salvation offered to us through Jesus Christ.

(Galatians 1:6-12) What is the gospel? Is it being preached in our churches today?

(Esther 8) After Esther intervenes on behalf of the Jews, King Xerxes sends a new decree that changes the course of history. Similarly, God's new decree of grace through Jesus Christ abolished the Law and ushered in a new day for all who follow Him. Dr. McGee shows us the parallels between these historical events and reminds us of God's lavish love for His people.

(Esther 6:47:10) The gallows are constructed and Haman's plan to execute Mordecai and destroy the Jews is set in motion, but what happens next no one could have predicted. Our takeaway: No matter how smart, cunning, or connected we are, this is God's world and we can't get away with sin.

(Esther 5:16:4) God is moving in the affairs of the world. Even when we can't see Him, even when His name is not mentioned, even when all seems lost, He is ready and willing to save us. That's the message Dr. J. Vernon McGee shares in this examination of Queen Esther's brave decision to come before King Xerxes with a bold request.

(Esther 4) When God breaks into our lives and calls us to Himself, what purpose does He have? Is it merely to save us from our sin, or does He have a greater use for us in His kingdom?

Hatred for God’s people is a common theme throughout history. We see it today, and Queen Esther certainly saw it in her day, too. Examine the life of Esther, King Xerxes, and the villainous Haman and see how nothing or no one can ever keep God from loving and preserving His people.

Long before Esther became queen, God was moving in the difficult circumstances of her life. He's working in ours, too. In this message Dr. J. Vernon McGee reminds us that God leads us, guides us, and will never give up on us.
