Setting the Stage

In this message, we get introduced to the major players in the story of the book of Esther, and look at the setting in which this story takes place. It is a sad tale of drunkenness and debauchery. However, despite the deviance of the king and the people, God is at work, orchestrating and setting things in place for His good purposes, so that a young woman full of faith might be used to save God’s people.
