Esther 5 - Esther Risks Her Life to Save Her People

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/3332615c-ca12-417c-8ea0-b4b40035683c/transcript

The episode explores 1 Peter 2, discussing how Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone and the foundation of the church: 
Any teachings or practices that aren't grounded in Jesus can lead to spiritual instability. In contrast, those who build their faith on Jesus, the Living Stone, will find stability and security.
Jesus is a stumbling stone, which refers to Jesus as a rock of offense to those who reject him.
A discussion of Romans 9 and being chosen by Christ

To close, Jenn emphasizes the importance of revisiting the basics of the Gospel, even for more advanced Christians.

1 Peter 2:1-10 - You are a Chosen Race, a Royal Priesthood, and a Holy Nation

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/62e11c7b-c4ed-4462-8be3-b4b2016a0c34/transcript

Today, we focus on the story of Esther and Mordecai's response to the horrific news that the Jewish people are about to be destroyed: 
Mordecai, upon learning of the decree, tears his clothes and puts on sackcloth with ashes, mourning loudly and bitterly outside the king's gate. 
Esther sends a eunuch to Mordecai to investigate and learns about the decree and the amount of money Haman promised to pay the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.
Mordecai urges Esther to go to the king to make a request for her people, but Esther is hesitant, citing the law that anyone who enters the inner court without being called will be put to death.
Mordecai reassures her that she will die either way, either in 11 months when Haman's henchmen kill the Jews or if she fails to act.
Esther decides to fast and pray for three days, gathering the Jews in Susa to do the same, before going to the king, which is against the law.

Today's story is one of encouragement to trust in God - that perhaps you have been created for such a time as this.
