Esther 4 - The Decision is made

from Edgewood Bible Church Hosted by EBC

Main idea: God’s providence calls His people to courageous obedience in every situation. 1. God’s people lament the world’s brokenness (vv. 1–4) 2. God’s providence places His people in uncomfortable positions (vv. 5–11) 3. God’s sovereign plan calls for faithful risk (vv. 12–14) 4. God’s salvation often comes through substitutionary courage (vv. 15–17) Discussion Questions: 1. How can we recover the biblical practice of lament in our worship service, our prayers, and our relationships? 2. How does the myth of “safe Christianity” show up in modern church life? 3. When have you faced a moment where obedience to God carried personal risk? 4. How does viewing Esther as a signpost to Christ rather than merely an example change the way we read this story?
