Esther 1

Esther 1 shows us how God is always at work, even when He seems hidden or silent. While the pieces of our lives might look confusing up close, God sees and shapes the beautiful bigger picture. Esther 1 shows us the vast power and wealth of King Ahasuerus, and yet how, behind the scenes, God quietly moves events, like removing Queen Vashti, to prepare for Esther to save her people. Instead of focusing on flawed human characters, Esther is meant to show us God’s sovereign hand guiding history for His glory and our good. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in hard times, this message will encourage you to trust His unseen work. Come and see how the story of Esther points us to the hidden King who still reigns today.
