Purim doesn't rank high on lists of famous Jewish holidays, but it's an important holiday that commemorates one of the most dramatic stories in the Old Testament: Esther saving her people from genocid...

In 2 Chronicles we get right into the action — but just because it is action-packed doesn’t mean we can easily see how it points to Jesus. How does this oft over-looked book in the OT point to Christ?...
