For Such a Time as This | Esther 3-4

Pastor Joshua Lim

Esther finds herself in a dangerous predicament. Haman, one of the top officials in the Persian government, has persuaded King Xerxes to issue a royal edict to annihilate all the Jewish people in the empire. Mordecai implores Esther to present herself before the king to intercede on behalf of her people. But doing so would mean risking her own death. However Esther is able to take on this righteous risk through fasting. In the face of great evil, God's people are to faithfully steward their God-given opportunities with clarity and courage.
