The Book of Esther Podcast, with Dr David Mackereth

6. Anger Management for Kings.

Ahasuerus adds sin to sin in this tense situation. All of this will be used by God to bring about the deliverance of His people.
 
First broadcast in 2022.

5. Queen Vashti or King Ahasuerus?

There is a divergence of opinion on who was right in this situation. I have come down on a particular side.
First broadcast in 2022.

4. Men Treating Women as Objects.

First broadcast in 2022.
A commentary on King Ahasuerus' wicked behaviour.

3. Alcohol and Temptation.

Ahasuerus put alcohol in front of his dignitaries, but did not compel them to drink it. This was a form of social temptation. What should Christians do in such circumstances? 
Alcohol has destroyed the lives of so many. Yet so many have been saved and delivered by the Lord Jesus Christ.
This episode was first broadcast in 2022.

2. Flags and Parties.

When this episode was first broadcast in 2022, the UK was in political upheaval, and the streets were lined with rainbow flags. When I was in London last week, here in 2025, the were Palestinian flags everywhere.
We raise flags, fight for flags, push flags, replace flags, and even die for flags.

1. Empire.

The empires of this world rise and fall. All are called into being by Almighty God. There is a coming empire that will extend to the whole earth. The Kingdom of Antichrist.
