Pastor Larry launched our new series on Esther (“For Such a Time as This”) last Sunday and the excitement has begun! Today, we move on to chapter 2 in a deep message entitled, “The Miss Persia Beauty Pageant” as we see Esther competing for the title of Queen of the largest empire in the world. Did she choose to enter this pageant...or was she forced? If she was forced, where was God when she was taken by the King? Why did He allow this? And where was God when you were hurting as well?
