It's time to begin our journey into the Book of Esther! And today is the perfect day because it happens to be the Festival of Purim. Tune in to learn what Purim is all about and why it's significant to Esther. I also cover the context of the story so we know where we are in biblical history as well as the background of the main characters. Join us each week as we dig into Scripture to discover God's hand in the midst of the story and in each of our lives.

It's time to dig into the story of Esther! Chapter 1 begins with great pomp and circumstance with a banquet held by King Xerxes. But the party doesn't end well with Queen Vashti's refusal to make an appearance in front of her drunken husband and guests. Ironically the story of Esther begins with an ending – Queen Vashti's reign. Without Vashti's exit we would not have Esther's entrance in chapter 2, where another key figure is also introduced – her cousin Mordecai. By the end of the second chapter, the unlikely Jewish virgin Esther becomes the Queen of Persia! Tune in to see what happens next (and please excuse my attempt at a voiceover that you will hear near the beginning of this recording).
