In this episode, Brenton and Chris discuss his sermon from Esther 1. Chris begins by talking about why he chose Esther and what he’s hoping to communicate through this series. They consider the literary style of this book and how we should read different forms of scripture. Brenton explains the difference between providence and sovereignty. They also discuss what it looks like to take earthly powers too seriously. They wrap up by giving some resources that can be a companion to this series.
