"A Crown With Purpose" | A Shrewd Proposal

Published on: 11th October, 2023

SCRIPTURE: Esther 3:7-15 

SHOW NOTES: The book of Esther draws the reader into a real-life story filled with drama and intrigue. While the name of God is never specifically mentioned, we believe God was setting the stage and preparing to protect and provide for His people.

Now in chapter three, King Ahasuerus appoints a man named Haman to the second highest position in the kingdom. This man is filled with pride, and he desires power. When Mordecai, a Jew, will not bow to him or honor him, Haman sets out to devise a plan to not only kill Mordecai but to destroy all the Jews in the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
