Last week we were introduced to 3 of the main 4 Characters of this story (King Xerses, Mordecai, and Esther), and today we get to meet Haman, our story's villain. He will be a prominent addition to the story today. And due to Haman, the plot will begin to thicken as Haman makes plans against the Jews. So let’s dive into Esther 3
The Story of Esther - A New Queen
Today we will begin a new series on The Story of Esther. We will take a six-week journey through the book, concluding on Easter Sunday.
As we get started, let’s understand the context of the book of Esther. It was written most likely by a Jew very familiar with the royal Persian court, but the author is unknown. The detailed descriptions of court life and traditions and the events in the book point to an eyewitness author.
Roar Of Justice – The Book of Amos | 5 Visions Of Judgement
Today we conclude our Roar of Justice series, as we have taken a three-week dive into the book of Amos.
We have focused on the warnings for the nations and the leaders, specifically Israel, but today we dive into the 5 Visions that lead to Judgement. The interesting thing is Amos’ reaction to these progressive visions.
Roar Of Justice - The Book of Amos | Warning Signs
Today we continue our Roar of Justice series, as we take a three-week dive into the book of Amos.
As you remember from last week, God is speaking judgment on the countries around Israel, and the last mentioned is Israel. Almost as a target that centers on Israel. Today we are going to focus on Israel specifically and its leaders.
Roar Of Justice - The Book of Amos | The Lord Roars From Zion
Today we begin a brand new series called Roar of Justice, and we will take three weeks to dive into the book of Amos. Coming off of the book of Galatians, where we talked about how we are redeemed by faith and not works, you see that same imagery here. God isn’t interested in Israel’s “Obedience.” Instead, he is interested in Justice and Righteousness.
Galatians – Christ Has Set Us Free!
Today we conclude our study of the book of Galatians, discussing whether our salvation is earned by faith or by works. Today we will discuss living in Freedom, staying in step with the Spirit, and helping one another. As we start, take a moment to read Galatians 5:1-15…
Galatians – By Faith Or By Works?
In today’s post, we continue our study of the book of Galatians, discussing whether our salvation is earned by faith or by works. I feel like this is one of those topics you cannot discuss enough. Last week we hit on the idea that the church in Galatia and the surrounding regions were being influenced by Jewish believers that wanted them to take on the burden of the Old Covenant.
Galatians – You’ve Embraced A Different Gospel!
What We Believe - New Heavens and New Earth
What We Believe - God's Plan For the Future
In this series, we have discussed what we believe as a church. We have studied and broken down a lot of beliefs and ideas that have existed since the beginning of the world. We have looked at the mistakes mankind has made and how God made a way for us to return to Him. We have discussed what we are supposed to be doing right here and now as the church.
Today and next week, we will be looking to see what God has up his sleeve for the future. What He has promised us is still to come.
