Part 3 | Mordecai and Haman

January 29, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Timmons • Esther 2:19–23, Esther 3

What do we do when we are treated unfairly? What are wise and unwise reactions? What are morally right and wrong responses? The book of Esther pushes us to ask and answer these questions when Mordecai, and the entire Jewish people, are treated unfairly at the hand of one man: Haman the Agagite. How will Mordecai and the rest of the Jews respond? And most importantly - how does Jesus reshape the way we respond?

Part 9 | The Reversal Realized

March 12, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Timmons • Esther 9, Esther 10

In the final chapters of Esther, the reversal of the Jews' fate is realized. They defeat their enemies and inaugurate the feast of Purim. Throughout the entire story Esther and Mordecai have had moments where they've shined. But they also have had moments where they've fallen short. Throughout it all, God's providence has been on display and pointed us to the great reversal we experience through Christ's death and resurrection: Salvation from sin and death.

Part 8 | Esther as Mediator

March 5, 2023 • Pastor Travis Marsh • Esther 8

Jesus extends his grace and mercy to all who reach out to him. He is our mediator between life and death. In Jesus we have life, life abundant. Esther is in a position of being a mediator in Chapter 8. She is in the position of protecting God’s people from certain death and giving them an opportunity for life. Join us as we learn about the importance of Jesus as our mediator through the example of Esther.

Part 7 | The Courage of Esther

February 26, 2023 • Pastor Travis Marsh • Esther 7

Esther's people are in peril and the only way to rescue them is by placing her own life in harm's way. Most people tend to struggle with confrontation especially when the stakes are so high. However, the time has come for the Queen to confront the King. Join us as we learn about Esther's confrontation in Chapter 7 and how we might become bold in our own faith through her example.
