The Agitator
King Ahasuerus rewarded people for the wrong reasons. Mordecai used his belief system to resist allegiance. Haman revealed his character and pride in his resolve. King Ahasuerus remains impulsive and ignorant. We discover the importance of the book of Esther. Theological Lessons: God’s promise to Abraham was about to be in jeopardy. Satan was told he would bruise the heel of Eve’s offspring. God first, country second. Practical Lessons: Surround yourself with people of Godly character. Don’t let pride cause How COVID has affected us
A Star is Born
Esther 2 Sermon Big Idea: God can use anybody in any situation to do His will. But He would rather use a surrendered heart. The king ruined one life, now he is about to ruin many more. (v. 1-4) Mordecai rescued Esther and Esther will rescue Israel. (v. 5-11) A night with the king becomes a nightmare. (v. 12-14) The bright star shone brightly. (v. 15-18) A plot was revealed that will play a part in the larger plot. (v. How COVID has affected us
Compulsion
Esther 1 Sermon Big Idea: Pride and ignorance are not lost on the rich and powerful Ahasuerus wanted to display his power (v. 1-4) Ahasuerus wanted to buy loyalty (v. 5-9) Ahasuerus wanted to feed his pride (v. 10-11) Ahasuerus wanted to order honor (v. 12-22) Journeying with Jesus starts with your own royal rescue. And that means undoing the one thing that can be undone.
Proven
Psalm 46 God is still our proven help. (v. 1-3) God still sits on His throne. (v. 4-7) Be still and know that He is GOD! (v. 8-11) The world around you may feel like it is crumbling apart, but take hope in the proven power of our almighty God.
A Man After God’s Own Heart

Sing a Joyful Noise
Psalm 150 As long as you are breathing, praise the Lord. And when your breath is gone you will get to praise Him even louder! Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise. The kind of noise you make when you are in a King’s presence. Psalm 98 Salvation deserves a new song sung by all of God’s creation. What is the song you will sing before the throne?
Psalm 133
Larry Carter, president of Great Lakes Christian College, shares from Psalm 133.
Psalm 127
Make God the GC and the security system. (v. 1) Don’t let anxiety be your alarm clock. (v. 2) Raising godly children changes the conversation of our community. (v. 3-5) 1 Kings 2:1-4 David’s charge to Solomon: Build your life on God 1 Kings 3:3-14 In his anxiety, Solomon heard from God, and had peace. 1 Kings 11:1-4 Solomon built his family on personal desire and greed. 1 Kings 11:9-13 Solomon’s life and wisdom are now overshadowed by his disobedience.
Psalm 142
Psalm 142 NIV Helpless doesn’t mean Hopeless. 1 Samuel 22:2 “…every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.” (KJV) Psalm 142:1 “I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.” (KJV) Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill How COVID has affected us
