Introduction
- Name the greatest scene you have ever seen from a movie
- Review- Where are we. What has just happened
- Read Esther 4:1-3. Look at the genuine reaction of grief and pain in Mordecai’s face. Imagine a Jew knowing about the Holocaust before it happened. This is what Mordecai is facing.
- Read Esther 4:4-9
- Read Esther 4:10-11. Esther wonders what she can do about it. She knows that if she goes to the king and says something without an appointment, and if he does not extend his scepter, that person dies. She hasn’t seen him in 30 days. It doesn’t look like he would reach out to her does it?
- Read Esther 4:12-14. Think of the best actor you know of. Picture Sean Connery from “The Rock” or another older actor reciting these lines.
- Read Esther 4:15-17. She knew that she could not do it on her own. She knew that she had to have God on her side, and the prayers of his people. When you enter hard times, or something that you are scared of, do you take the chance to get other people to pray for you?
- Read Esther 5:1-2
- Read Esther 5:3-8. Why hasn’t she already asked the king to save her people?
- Read Esther 5:9-19. Haman is on a power trip. Things don’t look good for Mordecai
- Read Esther 6:1-9. Oh Haman, you arrogant punk…
- Read Esther 6:10-14. Why didn’t Mordecai go back home? He knew that it was still going to be a bad day for the Jews. Haman is solely motivated by revenge at this point.
- Do you think that God has put you in a certain situation, economic status, workplace, or school for a certain purpose? Have you asked?
