One of the most difficult books in the bible to both teach and to be taught is James. He is very "in your face"! But James is where Dr. Waterbury is going in this new series during the "Windows of the Heart" program. Why is this book often referred to as the "Handbook for Christians"? Why is it so important that our works follow our faith? Is James in agreement with the rest of the New Testament writers?

Does God's Word ever allow His children to seek vengeance or to vindicate themselves? How is God's justice served in light of the evil that is perpetrated against Christians? In this last lesson on Esther, Dr. Waterbury examines other biblical examples of vindication and exactly how that all fits in with God's love and His plan for His children.

Is it ever right to vindicate ourselves? How do the actions of Esther and Mordecai in the book of Esther exemplify Godly people in light of their violent decrees against those coming against the people of God? In this week's lesson on Esther, Dr. Waterbury looks closer at what is actually happening at the end of Esther and how God's law and His love are neither compromised nor obliterated in HIs Words.

Do you ever doubt God's sovereignty over all things? Do you wonder at how God could be in control when so much evil is prevalent? There are two lessons left in Dr. Waterbury's series on Esther during the "Windows of the Heart" show, and she will spend both lessons addressing these questions. Listen to Lesson Nine and see how God's ultimate control is manifested even in the evil that men do.

Pride is tricky, isn’t it? We can generally see it in the obvious places, but can we see it in ourselves in the more subversive places? Join Dr. Waterbury during the "Windows of the Heart" show where she will be looking at 6 biblical passages concerning pride and contrasts to it. She looks at what the Bible teaches should be our responses that glorify God rather than exulting in self.

Why is it that God hates pride? What lessons can we learn from the book of Esther about the pride that God hates and the humility He both honors and demands? Join us for Lesson 7 of Dr. Waterbury's series on Esther on the "Windows of the Heart" show, where she examines the continuing story of the wicked Haman and the God-fearing Esther in God's ever-present sovereignty.

How did David seek after God in the midst of his troubles? What can we learn from this "man after God's own heart" as it relates to what we learn from Esther? Join Dr. Waterbury as she expounds on last week's lesson from Esther by looking at Psalm 25. How did David share our trials, how did he know to look for God's guidance, and how did he know that it was indeed God from whom he heard?

Why is it so important that we go to our Father with our questions and concerns before we go to our family and friends? What part does this play in our lives as Christians? Join Dr. Waterbury this week in Lesson 5 of her series on Esther during the "Windows of the Heart" program where she looks at how both Esther and Mordecai displayed this all-important Christian principle.

True peace and contentment for the believer does not just come in recognizing the sovereignty of God. It also requires submission to that sovereignty. As Dr. Waterbury further examines Esther, she explores more of what God's Word tells us both from Paul and James on what Christian submission to the sovereignty of God looks like. Does your character exhibit humility in this kind of submission?

What does Esther teach us about submission to God as sovereign? How can an attitude of submission to our Lord beautifully affect our peace and joy in this lifetime? Listen to this week's "Windows of the Heart" show as Dr. Waterbury continues with Lesson Three on the book of Esther, examining this great bible story as it pertains to our lives as Christians.
