6/30 - Esther | A Pivotal Decision in Your Life!

This week, we heard from lay elder Eric Knoll as he spoke on Esther 3:1-15. In these verses, we read about how King Ahaseurus honored Haman the Agagite, but Mordecai refused to bow down and worship him. In response, Haman decided to destroy all of the Jews throughout Ahaseurus's kingdom. With King Ahaseurus's blessing, a decree was issued that all Jewish people would be annihilated. 

Though this story is narrative, we can still see roots of application for us today. Mordecai knew he was a child of God and claimed that identity—do we also know we are children of God? Do you know you have eternal life? Each of us face pivotal decisions that will impact the rest of our lives. If you know you're a Christ follower, you can be prepared to share with others, tell your story and live in a relationship with Jesus, not religion.
