The story of Jesus Christ confronts every one of us with a haunting question: Is he who he claims to be? Throughout the gospels, we encounter those who choose to trust him and those who reject him entirely. These stories teach us about the character of faith, the wickedness of the human heart, and the power of grace to transform even the worst of sinners. Join us this winter as we explore the stories of those who turned to Jesus in faith and those who turned away faithless.
Jesus did not come into this world only with words, he also came with works that vindicated those words. We often call those works miracles, but the New Testament call them signs. The Miracles of Jesus are signs of the nearness of the Kingdom of God, revealing the character, identity and mission of the powerful Son of God. The miracles of Jesus reveal a savior who does not abandon us to the chaos of this world, does not surrender us to the armies of Satan, and even rescues us from the seemingly invincible power of death. Although we may not always understand how Jesus is present amidst the chaos and pain of our lives, his miracles operate as signposts, reminding us of the King who brings with him a promise to unbreak our broken world.

There’s nothing in the world more powerful than a good story. Nothing can stop it. No enemy can defeat it. Stories are exciting and suspenseful, they captivate the imagination and inspire the will. The book of Esther is no exception. Except that, the story of Esther doesn’t simply exist to entertain its reader or convey truth or even to recall history. No, Esther is a story that recounts God’s surprising preservation of his promise and his people when they are threatened with annihilation by a superpower. Through the story of Esther we discover the hidden hand of God working out deliverance for his people and showing again and again, that he is faithful and powerful to do what he has promised. Although the Lord is never named or mentioned, as the story unfolds his invisible presence is glaringly obvious. The conclusion of the matter can only be that God is always present even when circumstances say otherwise. For the people of God today, the story of Esther provides a confident reassurance and a divine comfort that our God is always present and never absent, even when it isn’t obvious.
