Winning Favour

September 23, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • Esther 2

We live in a day that is decreasingly dominated by Christian ideals, and all of us will be faced with moral conundrums. We must do the right thing, but also be canny and wise. Esther is a story of winning favor with man through the favor and grace of God.

Celebration and Honor

September 26, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • Esther 8—10

Every person on the face of the globe lives with the shadow of the grave. But a real Christian also lives with the light of the empty tomb. The purpose of the book of Esther is ultimately to point to Christ, but with the story of a rescue and a joyful feast of celebration.

The Gospel Pattern of Grand Reversal

September 25, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • Esther 5—7

The gospel has a pattern of grand reversal. The failure to grasp this reversal is at the heart of every failure of religion. And the switch between who's going to die in the story of Esther reflects the gospel.

For Such a Time as This

September 24, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • Esther 3—4

We're living in an age where everyone thinks they can redefine who they are. They can make themselves whatever they want to be. We tend to think about what's in it for us and to set things up for our own benefit. And then we have Esther, who is being called to give her life away for such a time as this.
