This week, we're exploring the Book of Esther, focusing on the return from exile, the rebuilding of the temple, the impact of the Greco-Persian Wars, and the power dynamics at play. We'll see Esther as a brave intercessor and discuss God's providence throughout the narrative. This OT book emphasizes the importance of trusting God's plan, even in uncertain times, and even points us forward to Christ, our ultimate intercessor.
