Esther
Purim
On Sunday I said I would include the links to previous messages regarding the account of Esther and Mordechai, and how they played a key role in overcoming the enemy’s attempt to destroy the Jewish people.
Here are those links, followed by the video about Esther from the children’s series Superbook, entitled For Such a Time as This. Though it’s a children’s Bible series, it’s very good for adults too!
Blessings, Andy.

Rising to the Challenge

Good evening. Below are the recordings from this morning’s service. Before that, here are two worship videos for us. Firstly, Come let us go up to Zion, Paul Wilbur, and secondly, Is He Worthy by Fellowship Worship.
Blessings, Andy.

Here are todays recordings. Firstly, Keith brings some thoughts from a devotional he has been blessed with this week, then Andy brings today’s message (from 5.00 minutes onwards).
Esther 4:13-16 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not think to yourself that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” 15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 16 “Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.”

Lyrics to Is He Worthy?:
Do you feel the world is broken? (We do)
Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)
But do you know that all the dark won’t stop the light from getting through? (We do)
Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)
Is all creation groaning? (It is)
Is a new creation coming? (It is)
Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy of this? He is
Does the Father truly love us? (He does)
Does the Spirit move among us? (He does)
And does Jesus, our Messiah hold forever those He loves? (He does)
Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
From every people and tribe Every nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God To reign with the Son
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Is He worthy of this? He is!
Is He worthy? Is He worthy? He is! He is!

Speaker: Andy King Date: 8th March 2020
Listen to Andy’s message here:
Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
