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.

In, but not of.

In but not of

We share identification with Christ, a separation from the world (Joh 17:11-19). This includes a challenge – Jesus was the message; He sent the disciples with Him. For the same purpose, we’ve been sent (Luk 19:10). Jesus' Kingdom is not of this world (Joh 18:36). When His will is done in our lives, we reflect of His Kingdom (Mat 6:10, Mat 6:33). We are citizens of heaven (Phi 3:20-21); God expects performance in accordance with privileges we’ve received (Rom 12:1-2); (1) Provision - "the Mercies of God"; (2) Decision - "present your body"; (3) Conclusion - "transformed by the renewing of your mind". We are ambassadors (2Co 5:14-15; 2Co 5:20). Put on Christ (Rom 13:9-14).
