This week we take a look at what the bible says about what the church is. Actually a better question is who is the church? A simple answer is that the church is the body of Christ, the people of God, but what kind of people are they? And why did God establish the church in the first place? What was his intention for the church? If this is your first time joining us, we are a small church located i...

The end of Esther describes the celebration that results from the Jewish people defeating their enemies. A new Jewish feast called Purim is started. The significance of the feast is that it recognizes the need to remember. And so this week we look back at all that the book of Esther has taught us and why remembering is so important. If this is your first time joining us, we are a small church loca...

Chapter 9 brings us to the date when Haman's edict has finally come to pass. Thankfully Mordecai's new edict has also been enacted allowing the Jewish people to defend themselves. Even though we can clearly see that the Jewish people were on the defence, not offence, we know that there are times throughout their history when God commands them to be on the offence. How do we reconcile this with the...

Haman has been defeated but his edict still lives. In Persia a law could not be overturned or revoked and so what can Esther and Mordecai do? Throughout the book of Esther we've seen God providentially working to rescue his people. And so will he come to their rescue again? Today we talk about God's Providence and what that even means for our work. Does what we do even matter if God's will is ulti...

It's all been building to this moment. At the 2nd and final banquet that Esther will throw for the king and Haman, Esther is finally ready to tell the king her request but she has to out Haman without implicating the king, who is actually involved in this whole plot to destroy her people. How will persuade the king to side with her instead of his right hand man? If this is your first time joining...

It looked like the tables were turning in favour of Esther and Mordecai.  Her divinely inspired plan has been set in motion.  But then unbeknownst to them, Haman and his wife and friends have made this other plan to have Mordecai killed the very next day.  What is going to happen?  How are Mordecai and Esther going to figure this out? Well….honestly….they’re not.  God is.  And even though he’s not...

After calling the Jewish community of Susa to pray and fast for 3 days and 3 nights, Esther approaches the king. In ch.4 she was at a crossroads and now Esther has chosen to act, but not in her own strength or power but act by depending on her God. The question now is not just how will the king respond but how will God intervene to deliver his people? If this is your first time joining us, we are...

Esther gets word that Mordecai is in mourning. After a back and forth Mordecai challenges Esther to stand up for her people. "Who knows," he says, "whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Has Esther become queen for this purpose? "Who knows," Mordecai says. "It's possible! Maybe!" When we see the uncertainty that these biblical heroes have about what God is doing and what...

This week we are introduced to Haman. Haman is promoted to a place above all other officers in the King's Gate. But trouble comes when Mordecai refuses to bow to him. This may mean the annihilation of all Jews in the Persian empire. As we look at this situation, it forces us to ask the question: will God still help the Jewish people in exile? This also forces us to reflect on our own times of trou...

This week we are introduced to Mordecai and Esther. Esther's uncle Mordecai has asked her to hid her Jewish identity. And not only that, we find Esther in a very compromising situation. So far in the story Esther is not appearing to be a model woman of God. What can we make of this? What does this mean for her and her uncle's future? If this is your first time joining us, we are a small church loc...

How can a book that doesn't even mention God one time be in the bible? What can a book like this teach us about faith? What can the book of Esther show us about how God works? God may not be mentioned even once in this book but his fingerprints are all over it. The story of Esther has so much to teach us about our lives, our faith, and how to live out that faith in our world right now. If this is...
