The Book of Esther
The Hidden Hand of God
God Standing in the Shadows 
“… if I perish, I perish.” Est 4:16b
The book of Esther never mentions the name of God, but His hand is seen in everything that takes place in the story. The theme is easily understood as that of the providence of God. Esther is a story that illustrates the truth of this priceless doctrine. Providence has been called “the hand of God in the glove of history.” It is the heavenly Father watching over and caring for His people.
This conference was held in Western Pennsylvania October 10–12, 2014.

Living Sacrifice 07

Believer in Christ is illustrated by Noah and his family in the Ark (1Pe 3:20). Positional truth (Rom 5:1-2, Rom 6:5) is based on a finished work (Joh 19:30) "having been justified". 4 points on the cross: (Left) "Past" redemption; (Top) Propitiation -- God is statisfied; (Right) "Future" Reconciliation (Rom 5:6-8); (Bottom) Believer -- Justified (Rom 5:12). "we have peace" This possession, our "peace with God" relates to our standing (Eph 1:6, Rom 8:1). "because of our Lord Jesus Christ". The greatest gift the King can give is being in presence (Heb 10:10-14), "by Him we have access by faith into this Grace wherein we stand" (Eph 2:18, Eph 3:12, Heb 4:4, Heb 4:16).

From Series: "Living Sacrifice (1995)"

Romans 12 and specifically Rom 12:1-2 is a pivot point between the doctrinal section and application of the book. This series methodically uses this passage to outline aspects or doctrines of the christian life -- God's provision and our prospect. Our lives can be acceptable to God if we progress on the path He intends. Living Sacrifice presents 12 doctrines: (1) redeeming time; (2) standing (positional truth); (3) self-presentation - availability; (4) approval; (5) service; (6) provision; (7) spiritual warfare; (8) conformity; (9) spiritual advance; (10) renewal; (11) divine guidance; (12) abundant life.
