Bible Study Recordings
Xerxes says that he will give Esther anything “up to half his kingdom,” so why has she delayed in making her request to Xerxes? Would Esther maintain her courage to follow through on her plan?
As Esther spends more time in the royal palace, God continues to work in her life. As with most people, we don’t usually see God working in our life at first, but as time passes, it becomes more apparent. Let’s look at Esther’s maturing life and see how God is working with her and how she responds.
The Persian nation is without a queen. This made it possible for Esther to become queen. How does a foreign orphan girl like Esther, with no stature or influence, find herself coming to the position where she can become queen?

Who was this famous Queen? Was she valorous and showed courage in her situation? Was she villainous – having evil or wicked intentions? Or was she virtuous – standing up for what was morally right?
At times, our passion for God’s way of life wanes. When this happens, we need something to spark our interest again; something to ignite a fire within us. I would like to look at the story of Rhoda, to see if we can ignite a passion for God, His way of life, and for striving for the Kingdom.
What did Jesus mean by that short statement, “Remember Lot’s wife”? What does that woman of ancient times have to do with people who are watching the closeout of history? Why did the Jesus relate Mrs. Lot to our day? Jesus used her as a fearful warning.
