We have just begun a message series on the Book of Esther, which gives the complete story concerning the nation of Israel, particularly focusing on the point yet future when God will establish them in their rightful place - in their land, in a theocracy, bringing blessings to the surrounding nations with God in their midst. Within this story we will be able to put together prophecy concerning the Coming Tribulation, the role of Antichrist, and his ultimate destruction.
PLEASE NOTE! We have certainly been utilizing the white board on Sunday nights in order to present the various timelines, charts, types & antitypes found within the Book of Esther, so it is highly recommended that everyone attend the Sunday morning and the Sunday night study!
Thanks to Jeanne for presenting Esther, Part Six last Sunday, February 28th. Ralph will be sharing Esther, Part Seven with us this Sunday, March 7th.
Jeanne will again speak the following Sunday on Esther, Part Eight.
(If you have any questions about the material presented in the Book of Esther, please feel free to email us or write your questions on our Q & A Forum.)
We plan on following the study of the Book of Esther with a thorough study of the Book of Revelation, which will correspond nicely with what we learn from both Esther and Ruth. The Book of Revelation is simply the end of God's revelation to man and we will see that there is nothing in that particular Book that can't be found elsewhere in the Scriptures. This series will be a Cornerstone Los Gatos original (somewhat based on Arlen Chitwood's soon-to-be released book on the Book) and we look forward to being able to present it! We will probably begin this message series sometime in April, 2010.
We have recently incorporated a set of questions with each weekly message in order to aid in the teaching and understanding of the information presented. Because the subject matter dealt with in the Books of Ruth and Esther pertain to the chronology of future events, we will be spending quite a bit of time each week making sure that everyone understands each part, before moving on to the next part. Sunday night Bible study will be quite in-depth for the next year or so as we go through these books (Ruth, Esther, and Revelation), so bring your Bibles and your study notes each week!
Many of the messages available on this site were written by Pastor John Herbert of Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in Jacksonville, Florida (although we do adapt them to fit the individual who is presenting it, as well as the individuals hearing it), and we thank him for making these available to us for our instruction. You can hear him present these wonderful teachings, and others, at www.cornerstonejacksonville.com/messages
