Session 7 – Lesser Known Women in the Bible
11-24-24 Biblical-Literacy
Pastor David Fleming continued in the series of Lesser Known Women of the Bible with a focus on Vashti from Esther Chapter 1.
Dr. Fleming’s roadmap for the lesson included:
1. Context: King Xerxses held a massive feast for seven days to show his wealth and power.
Queen Vashti and ladies left, but other women joined the king and his guests.
2. Vashti’s story: The king ordered Vashti to attend
on day seven in a degrading fashion. She refused and the king responded by removing her as queen. We don’t know if she was killed.
She had dignity, self-respect, respect of others, and a place in history.
3. Points for Home / Application:
Identity core convictions
Find the courage to stand
Be confident in God’s plan
Listen to Pastor David provide the background to the culture and insight to the deprivation of King Xerses, Vashti’s refusal, and why the book of Esther begins with Vashti. Pastor David challenges us to know who we are in Christ. It is not about us.
