Jesus is the source of life. All life flows from Him, yet not all joyfully receive Him. In this sermon Pastor David considers how and why people respond to Jesus as they do and then gives us a description of the benefits of receiving and belonging to Jesus and the necessity of being born of God.

In this sermon Pastor David considers one of the most important questions that can ever be asked: Who is Jesus? John begins his Gospel by explaining that Jesus is the eternal creator God who reveals the Father to us. Jesus is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity, the Savior.

In this sermon Pastor David reminds us that that in the end God wins. All things work out according to His plan. And the same unseen God who worked out all the details in Esther’s day, ultimately purposed to send His Son to save sinners.

In chapters 5 to7 we reach the suspenseful climax of the book of Esther as the queen risks her life in hopes of saving her people. Meanwhile tensions rise even higher between Haman and Mordecai, but ultimately God is shown to be the one who’s been working behind-the-scenes and justice is accomplished. In this sermon Pastor David reminds us that the kind of faith that God is calling us to have says, “Even though I don’t understand why God is letting this happen, I am going to trust Him.”

In chapters 3 and 4 the great crisis of the book of Esther comes into full view and Queen Esther as persuaded to risk her life to act as mediator in hopes of saving her people. In this sermon Pastor David reminds us that God is in control and should be trusted even when bad things happen. As Mordecai confidently puts it “Deliverance will rise!”

In this sermon Pastor David demonstrates how appearances deceive. In a world where God appears to be absent, it’s clear that God is in control. In chapter 1 the queen loses her crown and in chapter 2 is given to another, Queen Esther.

Why is the book of Esther in the Bible? Answer: Because God wanted it in the Bible. It is part of how God reveals Himself to us. In this sermon Pastor David introduces the book of Esther and helps us understand how it fits in the Bible. The Book of Esther never mentions God yet He is clearly active in every scene of this exciting narrative. This is a true story of the sovereignty of the Unseen God. Even when God seems absent, He is present and is working.

Why should we behave properly? Why we should live godly lives. In this sermon, Pastor David explains that what makes Christian morality Christian is its motivation. What makes our behavior Christian is that it comes from a desire to glorify God. We are indwell by the Holy Spirit and we certainly don’t want to grieve Him We don’t want the Spirit to be disappointed in us.
