Great Oaks Community Church

On Sunday, Pastor Jake continued our “Game Changers” series by teaching from the life Queen Esther. God orchestrated for Esther to be taken from no influence to influencing the King of a great empire at exactly the right time. She was able to save her people (the Jews) from extinction. But it wasn’t easy. Esther had to be willing to give up her own life. The law said that to approach the king without being summoned was punishable by death. So, Esther asked her cousin Mordecai to get all the Jews to pray, and then she did it. She sacrificed herself. In the end, the King did not punish her. He welcomed her and she was able to influence him to stop Haman’s plan to kill all of the Jews. Haman is killed, the Jews are saved, Esther is favored, and Mordecai is given authority that rivaled Haman’s original position. http://bible.com/events/377986
