The book of Esther is not an innocent tale about a romantic beauty pageant, contrary to popular opinion. Rather, Esther is a story full of moral ambiguity and spiritual compromise. In this sermon, Pastor Jesse walks us through Esther 2:1-18, in which we're introduced to two of the key figures of the book: Mordecai and Esther. You'll see how the Persian king Xerxes demonstrates a twisted immorality, and how Esther may not really be the heroine we tend to make her out to be. But through it all, you'll see how God is always working - whether He is seen or named, or not.
