It always amazes me how the Christmas story never seems to grow old. You’d think after years of putting up nativity scenes and singing Christmas carols, we’d get tired of hearing the same story, wouldn’t you? But we never do. That’s because behind the carols, productions, sermons, and decorations that fill our churches and brighten our homes every Christmas season, there is a divine mystery that we have only begun to explore. Listen now as Pastor Stephen Davey gives us new insights into that story which never grows old.
Scandals abound in a drama cast in the ancient Persian Empire. In the midst of political intrigue and betrayal, a beautiful orphan girl suddenly becomes the leading character, as God’s providence rescues His people from certain death. At first glance, Esther is the heroine and Mordecai the master manipulator. Take a closer look, however, and you’ll discover that behind the scenes, God is pulling the strings as His sovereign providence unfolds.
