So much reversal has happened in the book of Esther, but there’s one big scary problem still hanging over our heads; the irrevocable edict of death. Haman may be gone but the death-sentence he put over us is still well and truly alive. But fear not! God, in his providence, has this covered too. He knows how to raise up a leader to issue good news in the face of certain death. Come and hear more, this Sunday, 9:30am. All welcome!

The moment has finally come! After chapters of watching our enemy Haman stut around arrogantly scheming our deaths with ease and seemingly no divine intervention, we’re given a front row seat in the theatre of God’s providence to a most ironic reversal! Esther 7 welcomes us to relish and rest in this: that God not only knows how to providentially work for our good, but also how to providentially work for our enemies’ bad. As those still in the thick of a spiritual battle with formidable spiritual foes still to be delivered from, this is good news indeed! Come and hear more, this Sunday, 9:30am.

There’s something so satisfying when our arrogant and hateful enemy trips over their own ego in their attack on us. And that’s what we see happening in Esther 6 as the story seems to turn on pure coincidence! But look closer and you’ll see, this isn’t dumb luck at all; it’s divine providence. Consider Christ and you’ll see that, in him, God has turned the tables for us all! He is the one humbled to the cross and elevated over the proud by a resurrection that secures all his people a guaranteed victory in his wake! Want to hear more? Join us, Sunday, 9:30am. All welcome!

The fact is, Esther chapter 5 is probably the most boring in the book and yet it’s Esther’s hesitation to act for a day that makes space for God to carry his works of immeasurable consequence. After having considered God’s providence in relation to his world, his people, agents of evil, and chance and choice in Esther chapters 1-4, in Esther chapter 5 we consider God’s providence in relation to time. It’s a fascinating chapter that prompts confounding yet comforting reflections. That’s where we’re headed this Sunday 9:30am. All welcome!

The book of Esther presents the glorious truth that God is in the details of his people’s messy and mad lives. It’s one thing to accept that truth, but another thing entirely to take risks and act courageously for him because of it. This is where our heads and hearts will be as Esther takes centre stage in the story, transitioning from queen of Persia to advocate of God’s people. It’s Esther chapter 4, 9:30am this Sunday. All welcome!
