When God Tells A Story

In this sermon, we will delve into the fascinating book of Esther and explore the ways in which God works behind the scenes to bring about His plans and purposes. Specifically, we will examine the first nine verses of Esther chapter one, which sets the stage for the rest of the story.

As we read these verses, we are introduced to the opulent court of King Xerxes, who rules over a vast Persian empire. Amidst the lavish feasting and drinking, the king orders his queen, Vashti, to come and display her beauty before the guests. However, Vashti refuses to obey, and the king becomes enraged.

What can we learn from this seemingly simple story? How does God use the actions of flawed human beings to accomplish His will? And what does this story have to teach us about our own lives and our relationship with God?

Join us as we explore these questions and more, and discover how God's sovereignty and love are woven throughout the pages of the book of Esther. Whether you are a seasoned believer or just curious about the Bible, this sermon is for you. So come and hear the story of Esther, and be amazed at the power and wisdom of our God.
