**** Next class will be Wednesday March 4, 2026 ****

Study Book:  Esther - Character Under Pressure

Scripture:  Esther 6

Class Content:  

By God’s grace we continued to study the book of Esther using the study guide by Patty Pell titled – Esther Character Under Pressure.

We started with reading and discussing Proverb 25 which illustrates true wisdom as

(1) Humility instead of pride,

(2) Patience instead of impulsiveness,

(3) Careful speech instead of careless words,

(4) Kindness instead of revenge, and

(5) Self control instead of emotional chaos. 

How wisdom is not just intelligence, it is disciplined character. Then we discussed how Queen Esther and Mordecai illustrated true wisdom.  Discussed how King Xerxes kept the identity of who he wanted to honor and how Haman had kept from King Xerxes which group of people he wanted to exterminate.  Finally, we discussed how Haman described how he paraded Mordecia around to honor him per King Xerxes direction and the response of his wife and friends who now abandoned Haman as they acknowledge how God is going to take care of the Jewish people – God’s sovereignty at work and His divine providence.

Next, we will continue with Esther 6 and question 9 of the study guide focusing on Luke 14:11.
