In a world that daily challenges our faith, it is more important than ever to be strong and brave and stand up for what is right. While God is never mentioned in the book of Esther, His fingerprints are all over this true story. 

Esther’s story reminds us that God is always working. From this story, we learn there is no such thing as "coincidence." Though God may seem distant, even absent at times, He is present. God is always with us and at work in our lives. Join us as we study the book of Esther!

He was a master storyteller, using common subjects and everyday experiences to share deep truths about God, His kingdom and ourselves. In this reading plan, we’ll take a closer look at several of these stories and how they impact us today.

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this wisdom filled devotional. The reverential fear and respect of God is the beginning or the starting point of knowledge. Before you begin anything — seek God.

This reading plan will walk though how we can know the difference and walk forward in confidence.

Hearing God

Therefore, it’s important to be wary of who you allow access to your life. People matter and people need other people. In his latest plan, David Villa discusses how to distinguish between the two, and provide access to only those who want us to succeed.

Access
