3. Jesus takes Our Shame (Esther 2:1-18)

Embarking on a quest for a wife, King Xerxes' narrative mirrors the age-old tension between worldly desires and divine purpose. As Esther's tale unfolds, we see how believers, like Esther, are called to be distinct from the world, yet purposefully placed within it, holding onto the hope of a heavenly kingdom. When Esther emerges as the new queen, we are reminded of the transformative power of Jesus. Join us live at 8:50 as we explore how the story of Esther reminds us that Jesus, by God's grace, takes our deepest shame and makes us new.
