Discussion Questions

1. What is something that the Lord taught you in Esther that you did not previously know? What impact has that truth had on you?

2. Read Romans 8:28. Where have you felt God was absent in a season of life? Looking back, where can you now see Him working?

3. Why is it easy for us to only look for God's hand in the extraordinary vs the ordinary? How does Esther reframe your perspective to see Him in the everyday moments?

4. Read Romans 3:23 and 6:23. How do you try to escape or hide from our own sentence, like Esther first attempted? Why doesn't "being good enough" work?

5. Read Colossians 2:14-15 and Romans 8:1 concerning the cross' reversal. What "sentence" are you tempted to think still stands against you, and what does the gospel say to it? What does that reality stir up within your heart?
