Chapter 4 provides a pivotal moment in the story of Esther. Up until now Esther has been a passive character, more acted upon than active in the story of God. She has a choice to make… Will she risk her status as Queen to identify with her people and mediate before the king? Or will she keep her head down and look to hold on to her position in the palace? Esther 4 is a story of God’s grace and the transforming power of a life laid down for Him.

Verse: Esther 4

From the Esther: The providence of God series - The decree of Cyrus in 539BC meant that the people of God could return home after years in exile, but many chose to stay in Babylon. The Jewish people still living in Babylon were, therefore, left asking, does God still see us? Does God still care? Will He act on behalf of a rebellious people far from home? And in this unusual book entitled Esther, written (chronologically) at the end of the Old Testament, the name of God is not mentioned. No one prays. There’s no miraculous intervention or prophet sent from God. Yet, at the same time, the book of Esther describes a breathtaking rescue of the Jewish people. It describes how God’s hand sovereignly guides the seemingly ‘natural’ events of human history to save His people and bring about His purposes. This book is a beautiful help to us today as Christians living in a world that seldom acknowledges God. We may be tempted to ask, does God still see us? Does God still care? As we take a look at the story of Esther, we’ll be encouraged that God is sovereign. That He directs the over-arching events of all history and is also involved in every detail of our lives. We can have confidence that God is with us, a people far from home. Ultimately God has shown us that through Christ Jesus, He will never leave us nor forsake us. He has come for us, wherever we are, and we are reminded that in all things God works for the good of those who love him! ]]>

Sometimes in life we can feel forgotten by God, or we can wonder does God see, does He care, Is He working? The story of Esther is a gift to us as it shows that through the ordinary, seemingly insignificant coincidences in life, God is at work. He is always working for the good of His people. He is always writing His story. Though he may seem hidden, He is never absent. He is a God in whom we can trust.

We are all broken in different ways, and we often find ourselves medicating unhealthily or living divided lives. In Esther 2:1-18 we see both these things at play but also see a rescue found in the immense favour of God.

We keep on carousing with Ahasuerus, but is he the "King of Kings" or "King Headache"? We live in a moment of leadership crisis in both the British church and the nation, we see how the comedy of Esther helps us laugh at the Powers and see Jesus as the Cosmic Emperor on the throne.

<![CDATA[ Does God see? ]]> https://www.kingschurchbirmingham.org/audio/esther-the-providence-of-God/does-god-see Steve Morrison Does God see?
We begin our new series working through the book of Esther. The Jews are far from home, with no temple, no priests and no sacrifices, wondering does God still see us, will He hear our prayers? They are surrounded amid the power and trappings of empire and are asking the question, where will our help come from? The resounding answer in the book of Esther is that although sometimes God seems hidden, He is never absent. He has a plan for all His people and will use them to further His purposes. What was true then is still true today. God has a plan to use us, to help us and although he sometimes feels hidden, He is never absent. We can trust Him through every season and circumstance.

Verse: Esther 1:1-8

<![CDATA[ Generational Sin ]]> https://www.kingschurchbirmingham.org/audio/character-of-god/generational-sin Steve Morrison Generational Sin
In the final message of the series, we unpack what it really means that God visits the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the 3rd and 4th generation. Can we be punished for sins our parents or grandparents committed? Can someone be trapped in sin because of something someone else did? We’ll take a look at these questions, plus unpack how God speaks a better word to us all, as we wrestle through these issues.

Verse: Exodus 34:7

From the Character of God series - Exodus 34:6-7 is the most quoted passage in the Hebrew scriptures. It is referenced more than 27 times in the Old Testament and provides a beautiful summary, revealed to us by God, of God’s own character. We discover a God full of mercy, compassion and who is abounding in steadfast love. However, there also seem to be some apparent tensions in God’s character. His mercy v His justice, for example. The fact that He is merciful and yet will by no means clear the guilty. However, the fact that this passage is so often referenced shows us the stability and constancy of God’s character as well. In this series we’ll unpack the rich beauty of how God is revealed, knowing that the more we know and understand God’s character the more we can live lives that honour Him. And ultimately, we’ll see that all the apparent tensions are fully and firmly resolved in the revelation of Jesus Christ’s life, death and resurrection! ]]>

What exactly happens in forgiveness? The passage this week suggests that the character of God's forgiveness corresponds to the nature of our offense. We explore the nature of iniquity, transgression, and sin and the common action these offenses share before looking at how forgiveness responds to each of them. The message concludes with lessons on the challenges we experience when we realize our own actions and encounter God's forgiveness.

In this series we’ll unpack the rich beauty of how God is revealed, knowing that the more we know and understand God’s character the more we can live lives that honour Him. And ultimately, we’ll see that all the apparent tensions are fully and firmly resolved in the revelation of Jesus Christ’s life, death and resurrection! ]]>

<![CDATA[ Gracious God ]]> https://www.kingschurchbirmingham.org/audio/character-of-god/gracious-god Steve Morrison Gracious God
This week we look at another attribute of God, namely, that God is gracious. God’s grace is so surprising and unlike any human ‘grace’. God’s grace is unending, unfailing, unlimited, and unmerited. We often think we’ve got a handle on understanding it, but we’ll discover it’s barely possible to plumb its depths. God’s grace is more exhilarating, freeing and more life changing than we could possibly believe. God’s unmerited grace means that as His children we can never blow it, His grace never runs out. It comes to us no strings attached. It covers all our sin. And in Christ Jesus, all we need to do to receive it… is ask!

Verse: Exodus 34:6-7

From the Character of God series - Exodus 34:6-7 is the most quoted passage in the Hebrew scriptures. It is referenced more than 27 times in the Old Testament and provides a beautiful summary, revealed to us by God, of God’s own character. We discover a God full of mercy, compassion and who is abounding in steadfast love. However, there also seem to be some apparent tensions in God’s character. His mercy v His justice, for example. The fact that He is merciful and yet will by no means clear the guilty. However, the fact that this passage is so often referenced shows us the stability and constancy of God’s character as well.

Like the Israelites we all have a tendency to make God into our own image… In the introduction to this series Steve takes us through the most quoted verses in the Old Testament to discover what God has said about Himself.

<![CDATA[ New bodies! ]]> https://www.kingschurchbirmingham.org/audio/1-Cor-12-15/new-bodies Steve Morrison New bodies!
The Corinthians couldn’t get their heads around what new resurrection bodies would be like, and often neither can we. God promises us new resurrection bodies that are no longer perishable, weak, and falling apart. Instead, we are given a vision of transformed bodies that will be imperishable, powerful, and full of glory. Our hope in the resurrection is more full and complete than we could dare hope or imagine. Not just younger, healthier versions of ourselves but we will be given spiritual bodies, fit for life with God in the new creation. In this message we debunk a few of the ways we tend to tame or minimise this particular hope and unpack the rich reality of what resurrection bodies really means for the age to come.

This Sunday we take a look at the ‘crazy’ Macedonians who were begging Paul to take part in the offering for the suffering Judeans. What produces generosity like that? What makes us want to give away our money? Paul writes that God loves a cheerful giver. Yet, God is not sadistic, demanding we look pleased when we suffer. Rather, we find a God who has given everything for us. He came poor that we might become rich. As we explore these gospel promises we realise God loves a cheerful giver not for His own sake but for ours. It is a sign that we have truly understood the breathtaking news that through His poverty we are made rich. When you know you already have everything, you’re free to give it all away.
