The book of Esther is set during the period of exile when God's people are scattered across the Persian empire. As nefarious men plot against the Jews, Esther reminds us that even in dark days God is providentially guiding and protecting His people.

Proverbs 31:10-31 describes a “virtuous woman,” an “excellent wife.” But the original Hebrew uses the word “Eshet Chayil,” which means “woman of valor.” Throughout the Bible, there are remarkable stories of women who were brave, strong, and steady under pressure. They were difference-makers in the world, and we can learn from their stories what it looks like to be a “woman of valor” today.

Mike Cosper uses the story of Esther to illustrate how Christians can live a life pleasing to God even when they are immersed in today's secular culture. Using parallels drawn between today's society and the world of Esther, he discusses different ways that Christians can stay strong in their faith despite the increasing war against God's kingdom. 

This is a ten-day journey through Esther that will challenge you to open your eyes to the "for such a time as this" moments in your walk with God. It will encourage you to take delight in Him, no matter the season you're in, and remind you of His sovereignty over all of creation. May this study deepen your love for God and grow your desire to build His Kingdom!

The book of Esther is unique because the word ‘God’ does not appear in it at all. But what is even more fascinating is that we see the unseen hand of God in every chapter. This devotional will help you to see God’s fingerprints in events that have happened in your life which will cause you to celebrate His goodness and faithfulness.

Brokenness is everywhere and has touched everything. As women, we often feel lost and overwhelmed in seasons of waiting or in times of longing. We remained chained to the past or poor choices. However, it is time for us to reclaim our identity in the God of Heaven and walk in faith with Him by studying His word, specifically now the in book of Esther.

In this 10-part devotional, Pastor Dylan Dodson teaches through the book of Esther. This plan will encourage you to trust in God’s providence, even when you can’t see him working.

Growing up as young people, we can face many challenges. The teenage years are filled with different pressures and influences that can make standing strong in our faith difficult.

In a world that daily challenges our faith, it is more important than ever to be strong and brave and stand up for what is right. While God is never mentioned in the book of Esther, His fingerprints are all over this true story. Esther’s story reminds us that God is always working. From this story, we learn there is no such thing as "coincidence." Though God may seem distant, even absent at times, He is present. God is always with us and at work in our lives. Join us as we study the book of Esther!

There are times in our lives when God is working behind the scenes, but we don't see Him nor feel His presence. The book of Esther doesn't mention the name of God, but He was directing every step of her story. Join us as we travel back to the Persian empire to learn about Esther, Mordecai, and their amazing story of faith in uncertain times. You'll be encouraged to trust God's plan for your life, even when you don't see Him!

“God loves you, and He has a plan for your life.” This is a popular statement among Christians, and it is true. But God’s ways are not always easy! They may include suffering to transform us; we may go through deep valleys before reaching the heights of God’s promises. Joseph’s life story, as recorded in the book of Genesis, is a good example of this.

This four-week study examines the lives of four biblical characters and the challenges they faced as they had to persevere. (Joseph, Esther, Nehemiah, Paul) Their life stories will inspire you and challenge you to keep moving forward.

In this plan, we will take you through the book of Esther. We can admire Esther's courage, but we should see the whole picture: Esther, too, needed to be reminded of Who rules and that her life is in His hand. We pray that Esther's story inspires you to see God's hand in your life. God has intentionally placed you where you are for such a time as this.

In the midst of a transition, the journey between change and acceptance can feel long. We may get stuck in the struggle of waiting, as our spirits beg for the dust of our transition to settle. But God is in your changes and has worked out the details of your life perfectly. In this plan, you’ll learn that accepting God’s timing and ways brings the peace and reassurance you need.

In this 30-day study, we'll unpack the Book of Esther and see the hidden hand of God at work in this incredible story. Read about the deliverance of God, the justice of God, the sovereignty of God, and how He equips and positions people to accomplish His perfect purposes and plans.
