This week we continue our worship series “Inspired” based on the book Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again by Rachel Held Evans.
One of the main themes of the Bible is that God is on the side of the faithful minority within vast, oppressive empires. God shows up to walk alongside the poor and disinherited. God gives strength to those who speak truth to power, those who display courage in the face of death. Even though God is not explicitly mentioned in the story of Esther, never forget that God is present – both then and now – and is still speaking through the text – and through the text of our present lives.
Scripture: Esther 7:1-7 (CEB)
