Esther – Daring Faith for Such a Time as This
Wednesday mornings, 9:00-11:00am
Meeting January 8 – March 26
Contact: Marylin Bright
Room 167 in the adult wing
The book of Esther has all the elements of an epic drama – a beautiful young woman who becomes queen, her courageous cousin, a foreign land, and a murderous adversary. While the name of God is not mentioned in Esther, its pages give us a picture of a God whose hand is at work in every scene and circumstance. In this study by Kelly Minter we’ll explore the daring faith modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai – faith rooted in the goodness of God, lived out through ordinary circumstances, and used to change the world. Although our time looks different from Esther’s, our God is just as active and faithful, and He has called each of us for such a time as this.
For WOW (Room 167), the full large group meets together in one room to view the DVD-based video before breaking into smaller table groups for discussion. Each table group is assigned to their own room, typically 7 to 10 per group and is led by a facilitator specific to that group. Discussions alternate between the DVD content on the week the DVD is shown and discussions of homework study material on the alternating week. (Study Guide with steaming video access: $25) For more information or to sign up, contact Lori or 796-3361.
