For Such a Time as This (Esther 1)

About this sermon

We all like the idea of fairy tales coming true, but we realize that's seldom the case in real life. Here before us in the Bible is a story that reads like a fairy tale, but it actually happened. There are no fairies, no witches, no princes, and no mermaids. But there is a beautiful orphan girl named Esther who wins a beauty contest and becomes a queen. There is also an evil man who plots the destruction of her people. But because of her bravery, she saves her nation, and they really do live happily ever after.
