For 60 years in a row the percentage of Christians in every American state has been decreasing. Some people, including me, see this decline as evidence that the end is near. Some experts and scholars say this is the historical trend of the gospel worldwide…the gospel comes and goes. Many of us who are trying to follow God feel overwhelmed at times by the godless culture that we live in.
But for Christians; this isn't a new thing. It’s happened before; several times. Historically the people of God have almost always been in the minority in their respective countries and cultures. Jesus and his disciples were branded, ostracized, and persecuted.
Our new study on the Book and story of a brave woman and her adoptive father, her “blood cousin,” Mordecai, are average Jews living in captivity in the Persian Empire under the rule of the evil King Xerxes. After years of hiding their identity as Jews and “blending into the culture,” these two people did something incredible; and it had an incredible impact on all Jews living in the kingdom. “For Such a Time as This,” the incredible story of Esther and Mordecai begins on today’s podcast with our Pastor and teacher, Ed Smith.
