Christians are to be as one, yet God has given us different gifts. We are each uniquely empowered by the Holy Spirit to use our God-given gifts in the context of the church.

We are in a real spiritual battle with a powerful and evil enemy, Satan, who seeks to turn our hearts away from God. But God gives us the means to withstand the devil's schemes.

Esther teaches us how to remain faithful in a heathen world filled with difficulty. Though God sometimes seems absent or distant, he remains sovereign through it all.
