We will begin our Wednesday Bible study next Wednesday, August 7, at 1:30 in room 111.
You're Invited! ....to study the Book of Esther with us.
The setting: A lavish feast in the opulent Persian Empire
The event: a beauty contest
The plot: save a nation from annihilation
God's presence surrounds Esther throughout the entirety of her narrative. While God's name is never stated, you can easily tell how God is working and weaving His plan to fruition through Esther. His presence, even in His seeming absence, is clear. The same is true for your life: God is always present with you, even when you feel He is absent. Just because God seems hidden does not mean He is absent, but rather, that He is working faithfully behind the scenes. He never abandons His creation, and He works diligently through you to propel His plan forward.
An 8-week BIble study of Esther, by Donna Snow, will be the basis for our study but I have also ordered Esther in the God's Word for Today series for more background information.
