When we left off the most unlikely of reversals had happened. Haman, who had shamed Mordecai and manipulated the king, using the royal signet ring to issue an edict to kill, to destroy, and to annihilate Mordecai’s people, the Jews throughout the empire; that same Haman had to lead Mordecai through the city proclaiming his honor, and then his plot …

Today’s episode of Visible Jesus is a little different than our typical sermon. We hear from Robert, Malia, and Joe in a discussion of what it looks like to be a co-journer in someone’s life towards Jesus.

When we left off, the King had a sleepless night that became a major crux of the entire storyline. He was trying to fall asleep by reading the chronicles of the palace when he remembered Mordecai, who had saved his life. In a delicious twist, Haman was called in to go and get Mordecai, escort him through the city, and proclaim that Mordecai is the …

When we left off, Esther had decided that God had put her in the position she held, Queen over the empire, “for such a time as this.” She took a tremendous risk to approach the King without having been called and had the opportunity to host the King and Haman for a banquet. She showed wisdom in inviting the pair to a second banquet the following da…

We left off last week with Haman and King Ahasuerus toasting their brilliance in anticipation of the orders they had just sent out for the destruction of the Jewish people across the empire, while the city of Susa was thrown into confusion and fear. Those in power were completely out of touch with the implications for their people, or the confusion…

“Every soil is worth the seed.” For our next episode of our Visible Jesus series, Jessie takes us through an examination of why we sometimes feel queasy talking about Jesus, and asks us to look at who the Jesus we believe in actually is, who He loves, who He heals, and who he says we ought to love. The episode is peppered with important questions: …

The first two chapters of Esther are the prelude to set the scene for us. In chapter 3, the drama begins. We are finally introduced to our main antagonist, Haman, and the lens of the story shifts to the brewing conflict between Haman and Mordecai.

The unlikeliest of characters cropped up in the story as Mordecai introduced Esther. At his urging, Esther realized the importance of wisdom and exercised discretion. Against all odds, Esther is chosen by the King, and a feast was declared in her Persian name. Taxes were cut and returned, gifts were given, but Esther’s heritage remained unknown. Wa…

Christmastide part 2 This week we dive into Ephesians 1:3-14, where Paul beautifully articulates God's redemptive plan through the New Covenant. This covenant is not a backup plan but rather God's original intention for humanity, established before the foundation of the world. We explore how our identity as adopted sons and daughters of God is root…
