WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER 📖 BIBLICAL INSIGHTS FROM ESTHER CHAPTER 3: Discover the historical significance of the 13th day and its connection to rebellion, how Haman's decree parallels modern spiritual warfare, the fascinating origins of the ancient Persian postal system, and why the timing of this decree on the eve of Passover was prophetically significant. ⚡ POWERFUL LIFE APPLICATIONS: Learn from real stories of courage like Corrie ten Boom and Oscar Schindler, understand how to prepare for life's most important appointment, discover the meaning of the "house appointed for all living" from Job 30:23, and grasp the eternal difference between being spiritually ready versus unprepared. 🎯 KEY SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: This expository sermon covers Esther 3:12-15 (the deadly decree), Ecclesiastes 3:2 (a time to die), Hebrews 9:27 (appointed once to die), Job 30:23 (house appointed for all living), and concludes with Jesus' parable of the rich fool from Luke 12:16-21. WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERS 💭 LIFE-CHANGING QUESTIONS ANSWERED: Are you spiritually prepared for death? What does it mean to be "ready against that day"? How can historical persecution teach us about modern faith? What eternal preparations matter most? This expository Bible study addresses these crucial questions through careful examination of Scripture and compelling historical examples. 🔥 COMPELLING TRUTH: Just as the Jews in Esther faced a decree of death, every person alive today faces the universal decree mentioned in Hebrews 9:27.

WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERS 💭 LIFE-CHANGING QUESTIONS ANSWERED: Are you spiritually prepared for death? What does it mean to be "ready against that day"? How can historical persecution teach us about modern faith? What eternal preparations matter most? This expository Bible study addresses these crucial questions through careful examination of Scripture and compelling historical examples. 🔥 COMPELLING TRUTH: Just as the Jews in Esther faced a decree of death, every person alive today faces the universal decree mentioned in Hebrews 9:27.
