Kings of the Anthill [Esther 1:1-9]

July 26, 2026

Sermon Notes

Date: 07/26/2026

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Series: Esther

Key Text: Esther 1:1-9

Description:

From the height of his throne,
he looked like a man
who possessed the world.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Josh Peglow begins a new study
in the book of Esther —

where King Ahasuerus displays
his extraordinary wealth,
his far-reaching power,
and the glory of his kingdom.

For six months,
he parades its splendor
before the rulers of Persia —

as though his kingdom
could never be shaken.

But Esther begins
by lifting our eyes
beyond the spectacle.

For above the throne of Persia
sits the unseen King —

absolute,
everlasting,
and already working
to preserve His people.

Because only God is great.

And before Him,
the mightiest rulers on earth
are merely
“kings of the anthill.”

Sermon Notes

Date: 05/01/2011

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Esther 4:14

Description: The Book of Esther teaches the providence of God.   God saw beforehand what the people would do and even though they were out of the will of God by not going back to their homeland, they were not beyond His care. Providence involves God providing, directing, and leading people who sometimes do not want to be led. The infinite wisdom, continuing providence, and overwhelming power of God in the preservation of His people in fulfilling His covenant with them is displayed beautiful in this book. Even the most insignificant events and ordinary happenings of the world with its rulers and subjects are appointed and directed by God to affect His purposes.
