DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS
  1. What have been your biggest takeaways from our Esther series thus far? What has most surprised you about the book of Esther?
  2. What are some examples of “ironic reversals” in the book of Esther?
  3. How does the book of Esther challenge our assumptions about how God works, especially when He seems absent?
  4. How does Romans 13 help us understand the role of government in God’s plan? Where do we see that at work in Esther 8?
  5. Three times in chapter 9, it says that the Jews defended themselves against their enemies, but did not plunder them.
  6. Can you think of a time where “defending yourself” could have easily morphed in “plundering another”? How did you handle that situation?
  7. What are other situations in life where the line between defending oneself and avenging oneself (plundering) can become blurry? How can Christians show strength and restraint in those moments?

    8. The post Esther, Part 6: When the Hidden Hand Becomes Crystal Clear appeared first on Reston Bible Church.
