LAST WEEK

Our small groups continued their three-week series on “Dangerous People” by examining the life of Esther and her role in saving the Jewish people from annihilation in the Persian Empire during King Xerxes’ reign.

Making a decision to follow Christ is a defining moment because we become a part of something bigger than ourselves. Being a Christ-follower gives us a purpose that is bigger than our own. Esther had lived her life as one of God’s chosen people. She believed in God and knew that he cared about his people-but it wasn’t until she chose to act on what she knew was right in the eyes of God that she was able to witness firsthand his mercy and love. We challenged our students to discover and experience the joy of putting their faith into action by helping the needy and standing against injustice in the world.

Here are some questions that could fuel conversation from this week’s lesson:

• What are some ways you’ve seen God uniquely work in your life-in other words, evidence that your life isn’t an accident?
• What are some of the injustices in our world-unjust acts against people or violations of people’s rights? How do you feel when you hear or read about these things?
• Why is it so important for Christ-followers to help those in need?

Have a blessed week!
