The Jewish people are in danger

THE STORY

Mordecai expresses grief and despair

Esther learns of the edict against the Jews

Will Esther go to the King and ask for help without being summoned?

Mordecai implores Esther to act

Esther is willing to risk her life for her people

A WARNING ABOUT NOMINALISM

Mordecai and Esther are Jews in name, but not really Jews in practice

Some use the label “Christian,” but their beliefs and practices don’t match

Don’t be content just calling yourself a Christian

GOD STILL WORKS DESPITE NOMINALISM

God is faithful even to the faithless

This is the time God has called you to live

For such a time as this, the Lord wants you to trust and follow Him
