Sermon: For Such a Time as This

Esther lived, and came to the position of queen during a time of great evil. The Israelites were in peril. The time in which she lived mirrors closely some of the ills of our society:

  • An immoral king
  • A time of drunkenness and immodesty
  • A time where marriage was not respected
  • A time where life was devalued
