ESTHER: MORE THAN A PRETTY FACE

Esther 1-4

Discuss

Esther is an amazing example of courage and bravery and the willingness to take risks which ultimately saved her people, the Jews. On Sunday we discussed that God had positioned Esther in the right place at the right time as her cousin Mordecai told her “Perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this”. We discussed that God has placed us all in situations where God wants us to help others. Talk about the different places that God has placed each member of your family individually and as a family unit (ex. school, neighborhood, sports team, work, . . .) and how God might use you in His plan to bring His love and freedom to this world.

Weekly Challenge

With it being so cold this week, stay in and plan a Family Movie Night with the Superbook Movie “Esther: For Such A Time As This”. Make this a family memory by having your kids make tickets, concessions they have to purchase with fun money, and set up your family room like a movie theater. Once the movie is done (it’s only 30 minutes) talk about the main themes including bravery, the risks that Esther took to approach King Xerxes, and what they would have done if they were in Esther’s position.

Power Verse

We are continuing to get Ephesians 3 deep in our hearts and minds: "I pray that God will use His glorious riches to make you strong. May His Holy Spirit give you His power deep down inside of you. Then Christ will live in your hearts as you believe in Him. And I pray that your love would have deep roots. I pray that it will have a strong foundation".

Ephesians 3:16,17
