The Story of Esther
from BibleProject
The book of Esther is a fast-moving narrative of events that took place during the reign of a Persian king, Xerxes. The story relates the intrigues and adventures that took place in Xerxes' court as a Jewish exile named Esther was elevated to queen and, with her cousin and guardian Mordecai, worked to rescue their people from a plot to destroy them.
NOTE: While is is a one-week study, it requires the group to read the book of Esther the week prior. This is not intended to be used as a one-off study without the week of prior reading.
This Discussion Is a One-Week Curriculum for Groups.
These video-based Bible studies are designed to get groups discussing the Bible. These discussions should lead to better understanding of who God is, inspire us to dig into the Bible for ourselves, and help us to make applications in our everyday lives.
NOTE: Provide every group member with a link to this page at least a week before beginning the study. Everyone will need to read Esther before the session.
