The Law of Death vs The Word of Life ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | August 31, 2025 Esther Series, Part 8: Esther 8 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY What happens when victory feels incomplete and the threat still remains? Through Esther chapter 8, Michael Shockley explores how God's salvation works when evil laws can't simply be erased. Starting with a creative poetic recap of chapters 1-7, discover why Haman's death didn't solve everything - his genocidal decree was still legally binding in the Persian Empire. Watch as Mordecai rises from death row to Prime Minister, and learn how the king's solution - a counter-decree allowing Jews to defend themselves - points to a much greater story. From irrevocable Persian laws to God's perfect justice, explore how the Law of Death (God's righteous standards we can't meet) is overcome by the Word of Life (Jesus taking our place). Through humor, biblical insight, and practical application, understand the difference between justice, mercy, and grace, and why authentic faith matters more than religious identity. Core Message: The Law of Death is real, but The Word of Life is greater. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED Creative Story Recap - Poetic summary of Esther chapters 1-7 in rhyming verses - Queen Vashti's refusal and removal from the throne - Esther's rise through the beauty contest and divine positioning - Haman's genocidal plot and Mordecai's refusal to bow - The fasting, banquets, sleepless night, and ultimate justice - Setting up chapter 8 as the resolution to lingering problems The Incomplete Victory - Why Haman's death didn't solve everything immediately - The genocidal decree still legally binding throughout the empire - Esther's continued pleading with tears for her people's safety - The irreversible nature of Persian law - no decree could be repealed - How apparent victories can still leave underlying threats Mordecai's Incredible Reversal - From death row to Prime Minister in a single day - Receiving Haman's signet ring and estate as rewards - The waterboy-to-coach comparison for this promotion - Being dressed in royal robes and crowned by the king - The people of Shushan rejoicing over righteous leadership The Counter-Decree Strategy - King Ahasuerus explaining the legal limitations of Persian law - The solution: writing a new law to oppose the first one - Empowering Jews to band together and defend themselves - Allowing them to do to attackers what was planned against them - The king's revenge plot vs. God's heart for breaking cycles The Spreading Good News - Mordecai's first act: sending couriers to all 127 provinces - The message traveling from India to Ethiopia across the empire - Jewish families celebrating and coming together in unity - The birth of what would become the ongoing holiday of Purim - How good news transforms fear into celebration The Phenomenon of Conversion - Many people throughout the empire "becoming Jews" - Genuine spiritual conversion vs. political convenience - How demonstrated divine power attracts people to God's team - The advantage of being identified with those who have God's favor - Modern parallels of cultural Christianity without authentic faith The Danger of Identity-Only Faith - People claiming Christianity for social or political advantage - The difference between Christian identity and Christian reality - Family pressure vs. personal conviction in spiritual decisions - The importance of authentic, personal spiritual journeys - Warning against going through religious motions without heart change The Gospel Parallel - How Esther's story reflects the greater story of salvation - All people under condemnation from God's righteous law - The impossibility of meeting God's standard of perfect obedience - God's law revealing unrighteousness rather than righteousness - The need for a solution that upholds justice while providing mercy The Higher Law of Grace - God's inability to simply revoke or lower His standards - Jesus as the "counter-decree" who fulfills rather than cancels the law - The Cross as God's answer to the problem of justice and mercy - Christ taking the place of the unjust while upholding righteousness - Romans 8:1: "No condemnation for those in Christ Jesus" ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "The Law of Death is real, but The Word of Life is greater." "It's not coincidence, it's providence." "If somebody predicts His Death and Resurrection and pulls it off exactly how He Said, I want to be with that Guy!" "We are super excited to help you on your journey to Jesus and with Jesus, but it has got to be YOUR journey." "God's Law does not reveal us to be righteous, but unrighteous. All of us." "God issued a second Decree. This one is GRACE through Jesus." "Justice is getting what we deserve. Mercy is not getting what we deserve. Grace is getting what we do not deserve." "Justice writes the speeding ticket. Mercy tears it up. Grace fills your tank and sends you on your way." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Esther 8:1-6 - Key Supporting Verse: "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1) - Old Testament Law Context: "There is none righteous, no not one" (Psalm 14:3; Romans 3:10) - Theme: Divine solution to irrevocable condemnation through a higher law - Historical Context: Persian legal system and the irreversible nature of royal decrees - Gospel Connection: How the Cross fulfills rather than cancels God's justice ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're Dealing with Lingering Consequences: - Remember that God's solutions often work differently than human fixes - Trust that apparent victories may still require ongoing faith and action - Know that God can turn death sentences into promotion opportunities - Understand that His deliverance often empowers us rather than removing all challenges If You're Questioning Your Faith's Authenticity: - Examine whether your Christianity is identity-based or heart-based - Make sure your spiritual journey is genuinely yours, not just family expectation - Seek God personally rather than going through religious motions - Remember that authentic faith matters more than religious performance If You Feel Condemned by God's Standards: - Recognize that God's law reveals our need rather than our righteousness - Understand that perfection, not comparison to others, is God's standard - Know that the law's purpose is to point us to our need for a Savior - Trust that Jesus fulfilled the requirements we could never meet If You're Struggling with Justice and Mercy: - Justice: getting what we deserve (condemnation for sin) - Mercy: not getting what we deserve (being spared from hell)   - Grace: getting what we don't deserve (adoption, eternal life, joy in Christ) - See how all three work together perfectly at the Cross If You Haven't Put Your Faith in Jesus: - Consider what you're waiting for when the solution is available - Remember that salvation comes by grace through faith, not performance - Know that you don't have to understand every detail to experience transformation - Trust that the same God who orchestrated Esther's deliverance offers yours ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION Maybe you feel like you're under an irrevocable sentence - condemned by past mistakes, current struggles, or the weight of not measuring up to God's perfect standards. Maybe you've tried to be good enough but realize you fall short of perfection. Maybe you've been going through the motions of faith without the heart reality. This much is true: the Law of Death is real - we all fall short of God's righteousness and deserve condemnation. But the Word of Life is greater. Jesus didn't come to lower God's standards or pretend our sin doesn't matter. He came to fulfill those standards perfectly and take our condemnation upon Himself. At the Cross, justice fell on Jesus who took our place. Through faith in Him, we receive mercy (escape from condemnation) and grace (adoption into God's family). The counter-decree has been written in His blood. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- Is your faith identity-only or heart-reality? Have you trusted in Jesus' counter-decree of grace, or are you still trying to escape condemnation through your own efforts? The Law of Death is real, but The Word of Life is greater - and that Word is available to you today.

He is also called Moses the Black. He was a slave, but was cast out by his master due to his evil life. He then became the leader of a murderous band of robbers in Egypt. He came to repentance and took up monastic life in the desert under St Isidore of Sketis. For many years he struggled tirelessly, through prayer, fasting and vigils, with lustful and violent thoughts; he was finally freed of them through the prayers of St Isidore. He was revered by all the brethren for his ascetical life, his wisdom, and his deep humility. Once a brother committed some sin and the monks gathered to judge him. Moses at first refused to go at all, but when they insisted, he filled an old, leaky basket with sand and carried it into the assembly on his back. When the brethren asked him what his action meant, he said "My sins run out behind me, and I do not even see them, and I have come to judge my brother." The monk was forgiven. In time the fame of this humblest of monks spread so far that kings and bishops traveled into the desert to seek his wisdom and his blessing. In his old age, he was warned that a band of brigands was coming to attack the Skete. He refused to leave saying, "It is written: he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword." So, mindful that he had slain others by the sword, he willingly awaited his own murder. Six other monks who remained with him were also slain.

Matthew Ford, Associate Professor at Swedish Defence University and author of “War in the Smartphone Age: Conflict, Connectivity, and the Crises at Our Fingertips,” joins Lawfare's Justin Sherman to discuss the role of smartphones and related technologies in war, how social media contributes to a collapse of context in the war content we see online, and how smartphones and other devices are reshaping open-source intelligence (OSINT) and open-source investigations (OSINV) vis-a-vis conflicts and violence from Syria to Ethiopia to Ukraine. They also discuss the tech stack in war, how the military “kill chain” is evolving with ever-greater digital connectivity, the current state and future of “participatory warfare,” and how we can become better consumers—and sharers—of war-related content online.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

24 August 2025 | This week Pastor Evan continues our Exiles sermon series in Esther 8:1-17 where he preaches on the king changing his edict regarding the Jews, as how we are justified in God's eyes through Jesus' death on the Cross. Esther Saves the Jews 8 On that day King Ahasuerus gave to Queen Esther the house of Haman, hthe enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told pwhat he was to her. 2 qAnd the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman. 3 Then Esther spoke again to the king. She fell at his feet and wept and pleaded with him to avert the evil plan of Haman rthe Agagite and the plot that he had devised against the Jews. 4 sWhen the king held out the golden scepter to Esther, Esther rose and stood before the king. 5 And she said, “If it please the king, tand if I have found favor in his sight, and if the thing seems right before the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let an order be written to revoke uthe letters devised by Haman rthe Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king. 6 For how can I bear vto see the calamity that is coming to my people? Or how can I bear to see the destruction of my kindred?” 7 Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, “Behold, wI have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows,1 because he intended to lay hands on the Jews. 8 But you may write as you please with regard to the Jews, in the name of the king, xand seal it with the king's ring, for an edict written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's ring ycannot be revoked.” 9 zThe king's scribes were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day. And an edict was written, according to all that Mordecai commanded concerning the Jews, to athe satraps and the governors and the officials of the provinces bfrom India to Ethiopia, b127 provinces, cto each province in its own script and to each people in its own language, and also to the Jews in their script and their language. 10 dAnd he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus eand sealed it with the king's signet ring. Then he sent the letters by mounted couriers riding on fswift horses that were used in the king's service, bred from the royal stud, 11 saying that the king allowed the Jews who were in every city gto gather and defend their lives, hto destroy, to kill, and to annihilate any armed force of any people or province that might attack them, children and women included, iand to plunder their goods, 12 jon one day throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar. 13 kA copy of what was written was to be issued as a decree in every province, being publicly displayed to all peoples, and the Jews were to be ready on that day to take vengeance on their enemies. 14 So the couriers, mounted on their fswift horses that were used in the king's service, rode out hurriedly, urged by the king's command. And the decree was issued in Susa the citadel. 15 Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king lin royal robes of blue and white, with a great golden crown2 and ma robe of fine linen and purple, nand the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced. 16 The Jews had olight and gladness and joy and honor. 17 And in every province and in every city, wherever the king's command and his edict reached, there was gladness and joy among the Jews, a feast and pa holiday. qAnd many from the peoples of the country declared themselves Jews, rfor fear of the Jews had fallen on them.

Do you feel disconnected from your cultural heritage or identity? Tami did - even though she wasn't adopted. She was determined her daughter who was born in Ethiopia would feel connected with her heritage. Listen in as we dive into cultural heritage, identity and more.Here's a bit about Tami from her website:I grew up disconnected from my Dominican and Jamaican roots, always feeling like I wasn't “enough” of anything—not Latina enough, Caribbean enough, not even Black enough. I carried shame, confusion, and uncertainty about whether I even had the right to claim a heritage I barely knew. When I began exploring my roots, there were no guides, no roadmaps, or no one to show me where to start. I had to find my own way—slowly, and in a way that felt authentic to me.When I adopted my Ethiopian-born daughter, I promised she wouldn't grow up with that same disconnection. That promise became my purpose.I'm living this work every day—raising an Ethiopian daughter, caring for my aging mother, and navigating my own Dominican/Jamaican identity, all under one roof in Mexico. I know what this journey really looks like—and I'm here to walk it with you.Now, as a Cultural Heritage Reconnection Coach, I offer the support I once needed. I guide people to rediscover their roots, reclaim pride in who they are, and create a legacy so future generations never have to wonder where they belong.You don't need permission to reconnect.You just need a place to begin—and you don't have to do it alone.https://www.instagram.com/tamideegarcia/https://www.tiktok.com/@tamideegarciahttps://www.tamigarcia.com/https://www.facebook.com/TamiDeeGarcia Guests and the host are not (unless mentioned) licensed pscyho-therapists and speak from their own opinion only.

Today's reading includes pronouncements against the nations of Cush (which we now call Ethiopia) and Egypt. The Cushites will be judged by the Lord and left for dead, but after this judgment they will bring tribute to the Lord of Armies at Mount Zion. Egypt will be judged by God through a civil war, and neither idols, nor spiritists, nor wise men will save them from the Lord's hand. One day in the future, however, some Egyptians would worship the God of Israel, a dramatic turn of events given that Egypt had always been superior in military might with deep cultural ties to it's own gods. Pronouncements on other cities and nations follow, including Babylon, Dumah, Arabia, Jerusalem (called the Valley of Vision, here) and Shebna.Isaiah 18 - 1:03 . Isaiah 19 - 2:53 . Isaiah 20 - 7:50 . Isaiah 21 - 10:03 . Isaiah 22 - 13:17 . Psalm 139 - 18:18 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

A team of researchers say they've found fossils that add two new ancestors to our human family tree. While these two creatures appeared to have lived at the same time - and in the same place - they are two distinct, different hominins. The team says one set of fossils appears to be a fit for the genus Homo. That's the same genus as modern humans. The other seems to fit Australopithecus, the same genus as the famous Lucy fossil. Fossil teeth and bones from both creatures were found at Ledi-Geraru in Ethiopia. It's a desert site about 30 miles from where the famous Lucy fossil was found. But the research team concluded that the Ledi-Geraru Australopithecus teeth are a new species, rather than belonging to Lucy's species, Australopithecus afarensis. The new Homo teeth also don't appear to match any known Homo species. These new fossils date between 2.6 and 2.8 million years ago, and shed new light on human evolution.

This man was serious about serving God! Acts 8:26-28 – This man was likely a proselyte. He was a treasurer for the queen of Ethiopia, who…

He was numbered among the Seventy. Then, when Judas who betrayed Christ had taken his own life, the disciples (120 men and women) convened to choose one who would take his place among the Twelve. They nominated two, Joseph (called Barsabas or Justus) and Matthias, then cast lots. The lot fell to Matthais, who henceforth was numbered among the Twelve (See Acts ch. 1). Accounts of his Apostolate after this vary. According to some, he preached the Gospel in Ethiopia and met his martyrdom there. According to others, after visiting Ethiopia he returned to Judea, where he was tried and condemned by Ananias the High Priest, and stoned to death, then beheaded.

It's Tuesday, August 5th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson with help from Timothy Reed Home evictions of Christians in Chhattisgarh, India continue Hundreds of Indian Christians have been evicted from their homes and banned from their villages in the district of Chhattisgarh because of their faith in Christ.  International Christian Concern reports that Abishek was brutally attacked and forced out of his home along with his 2-month-old daughter. They did not know where they would sleep that night. Despite his sudden hardship, he will not return to Hinduism. Abishek said, “We are determined to follow Jesus, no matter what.” He has built his own shelter with polythene covers. He still struggles to find regular work, sometimes six miles from home. He added, “Almost every day when I travel, I think of my family back in the village. Wild thoughts haunt me of ‘What if my family is attacked again? What if they are tortured in my absence?' When I pray to God, my heart is peaceful, and I am comforted through the messages I hear during the Sunday worship.” Argentina's Javier Milei standing strong to get deficit paid off Argentinian President Javier Milei is standing firm against any government funding increases.   He has vetoed increased funding for the nation's social security or pension program. Plus, he vetoed another bill passed by the National Congress of Argentina which would have provided pensions for persons with disabilities. Milei insists upon what he calls a “deficit zero.” The goal of zeroing out the deficit is, in his words, “non-negotiable.” Sadly, private charity is not doing well in Argentina. When asked “Have you donated money to charity in the last month?” Gallup discovered that Argentina was 112th on the list for 2024, according to the Buenos Aires Herald. The Scriptures encourage private charity in Deuteronomy 15:11. It says, “For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore, I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor in your land.'” Economies of Germany, Hungary, and Russia are stagnating Europe's largest economy is faltering. Germany's economy is the worst in the world for growth, as the nation faces a third consecutive year of recession. The economy shrunk in 2023 and 2024.  Now, 2025 isn't looking much better   Hungary and Russia are facing stagnant economies as well. But on the positive side, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Rwanda, and Ethiopia are seeing 6-7% growth in Gross National Income per person this fiscal year.  Church of Wales selects lesbian “Archbishop” The utterly apostate Church of Wales has appointed a lesbian named Cherry Vann to head their organization as what they refer to as an “archbishop.” She lives in sexual sin with her lesbian girlfriend named Wendy Diamond. This follows the church's approval of homosexual unions in 2021.  Weekly attendance with this national church has dropped off to 0.8% of the population down from 4% in the 1980s. Other denominations only claim about 0.6% of the population.   Also, the Scottish Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Church of Scotland have adopted homosexual marriage ceremonies. Over in England, King Charles III has yet to appoint another Archbishop of Canterbury, after the previous archbishop resigned in the midst of scandal. Matthew 21:18 relates a similar story: “Now in the morning, as [Jesus] returned to the city, He was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, ‘Let no fruit grow on you ever again.' Immediately, the fig tree withered away.”  Trump upset with India for doing business with Russia U.S. President Donald Trump issued a rebuke to India for doing business with Russia, and funding the Russo-Ukrainian War, by purchasing Russian oil. Trump has imposed a 25% tariff on imports from India, beginning this month, and promises more due to India's partnership with Russia. India now purchases 35-40% of its crude oil from Russia, up from 0.2% before the Russo-Ukrainian War, averaging around 1.8 million barrels per day. China and India constitute Russia's strongest trade partners. China, India, and Russia's Gross Domestic Product combined total $25 trillion. Together, these three economies are about equal to the GDP of the United States. Tensions rise between U.S. and Russia President Donald Trump has ordered nuclear submarines to be on standby near Russia as tensions rise between the United States and Russia. The order came following threats of nuclear retaliation from Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council. Trump responded to the threat on his social media platform called Truth Social. He wrote, “Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.” Religious groups sue over ICE raids in churches  A number of Christian and religious groups, including the Evangelical Lutheran Church and American Baptist Churches USA, have filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts. They're challenging the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's ability to raid churches and religious facilities. The case is being represented by a legal group called Democracy Forward. Reverend Lisa Dunson of the Alliance of Baptists stated, “Raids on Houses of Worship desecrate sacred spaces, violate religious freedom, and spread fear among those seeking peace and refuge.”  The Department of Homeland Security has said that criminals will no longer be allowed to hide at churches or schools. Fewer Americans receiving COVID-19 boosters And finally, a new poll found that most Americans are wary of receiving a COVID-19 booster shot this fall. Fifty-nine percent of Americans are completely opposed to the shot or unlikely to receive one, compared to just 40% of Americans who are planning to receive a booster. Republicans are demonstrably less likely to get the shot than Democrats. And the elderly plan to receive boosters at a higher rate than younger generations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ended its COVID-19 shot recommendation for pregnant women and healthy children earlier this year.

People matter to God and because of that, God calls us as Christians to talk to people about Jesus. Today we will see Philip who did exactly that and because of this one encounter, people in Ethiopia know about Jesus today. We never know how far and wide the message of Jesus will go when we actually open our mouths and share Him with others.

Puerto Casado is a remote village in Paraguay, in South America. It's not dissimilar to many other rural towns in the area: red-brick houses, small grocery stores and unpaved roads. But what makes Puerto Casado an exception is that it's at the centre of a land dispute between the Paraguayan state, local residents and the Unification Church, a controversial religious group from South Korea. Ronald Avila-Claudio from BBC Mundo has recently been there. Plus, what the re-opening of the border between Ethiopia and Eritrea means to people living there, with Girmay Gebru from BBC News Africa; and a diver swimming with a great white shark and other viral stories, with BBC Indonesian's Famega Syavira Putri.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world.
