Esther for This Time # 2 – The Queen, the Refusal & the Bad Advice

2/17/2024
The Book of Esther in the Old Testament was written so that even 2500 years later, we can still relate it to our culture. Today, we continue in Esther Chapter 1 with our introduction to the pompous and extravagant King Ahasuerus and the opulent six-month party he threw in the capital city of Susa (modern day Iran) in the third year of his reign. Ancient historians suggest over 15,000 men came to the party that lasted 187 days. In the midst of the grand party, the king received and followed bad advice. In this podcast, we will cover how to find true wisdom. The post Esther for This Time # 2 – The Queen, the Refusal & the Bad Advice appeared first on Ultimate Christian Podcast Radio Network.

Esther for This Time: Prayer, Reversals & JOY – The Backdrop & the Party

2/11/2024
Just when we wonder, “Where is God in our lives or our families or our communities,” Esther reminds us that God never abandons us. He is faithful. Esther is a beautiful study for Lent. It's about trusting in God, interceding in prayer, fasting and receiving strength to stand firm amid life’s challenges. It's about gentle leadership and discernment from God in difficult times. Most importantly, Esther is a dramatic story of how God can bring reversals in circumstances for you and your family.

Around 25% surveyed say they don’t know, or have forgotten, what it means to feel truly happy (Oracle). The natural question is this: Are JOY and happiness the same thing? We will find that happiness depends on external circumstances, while true joy is “a gift that fills us from within” and “is to be searched for and shared continuously "(Francis).
