God’s Got A Plan Even In An Upside-Down World - Esther 2:1-18 (THE BOOK OF ESTHER)

This episode kicks off a series of podcasts from The Book Of Esther.  This is a 5-part series and this first episode introduces us to the character of Esther.  How did she come into position as Queen?  How did God use a seemingly unknown Jewish girl to change the course of history for Israel and its people?  As we look at Esther we'll see how God did it.  Today we look specifically at the culture and climate of the ancient Persians.  Their world was based upon appearances, beauty, wealth, and status.  Thousands of years later, our world is not much different.  In this upside-down world, God is calling His people to a different standard.  He is calling us out to live for "such a time as this."
