As we proceed through the Old Testament book of Esther, we grow in our understanding of God's Providence. This principle is both very simple and very complex; when applied in the life of a believer, it deepens our trust in God our Father.

Our study of the book of Esther now moves from a general, "big picture" view, to the specific historical events that will lead to her becoming a queen. The king's temper, the words and attitudes of his nobles and servants, the laws and traditions of Medo-Persian culture - God's Providence worked in all these to bring about His will in preserving the Jewish people.

The book of Esther describes King Ahasuerus as an important man. As we study Esther together, however, it is important to remember that all authority on earth is derived from the authority of our sovereign Lord. The power, influence, and authority of King Ahasuerus fades to nothing when we consider Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

As we begin a study of the Old Testament book of Esther, we are helped by stepping back to consider God's revealed plan for all of human history. With this perspective, we can better understand the relevance of Esther's story and see God's Providence at work.

It is easy to trust God when the sun is shining and all seems right with the world. But is He just as trustworthy when the bottom falls out of life? Where is God then? Hear the answer, as you listen to a message that was preached at Parkside Church's Cancer Survivor Support dinner.

What purpose does a "memorial" serve, in God's eyes? In this study of Joshua 3 and 4, we see the Israelites take 12 stones from the Jordan to create a memorial. Its meaning: God is faithful.

Alistair concludes the 2013 Basics Conference focusing on the final section of Jude's letter. Alistair commends to the pastor Jude's final exhortations to remember, keep oneself, be merciful to those who doubt, and do all for God's glory. Alistair fittingly exhorts pastors to not only contend for the faith, but to remind us that our duty is to remind our people not of things which they have never known, but of things which we should never forget!

scripture Jude 1:1-7
topic Preaching
type Sermon
id 2952

Alistair Begg kicks off the 2013 Basics Conference from the small, but powerful book of Jude. Countering conventional notions that the book of Jude is primarily a book for contentious preaching, Alistair takes us into the heart and mind of the brother of Jesus, Jude who gives not a letter of condemnation, but consternation. Hanging his message on Jude's warm greeting, necessary appeal and chilling thought, Alistair brings to the forefront the pastor's necessity to present and contend for a true gospel.
