Passage: Esther 1:1-22

Ministry: Women's Bible Study

Jane Hoffmire shares more about the culture and what was happening in the Kingdom of King Ahasuerus which sheds even more light on this passage and the book of Esther. We are also reminded that this is a book about God and His story rather than Esther.
