Start2Finish Bible Studies #16

Author: Michael Whitworth | 7 lessons, 60 pages

Throughout the royal intrigues of Esther, God’s name is never mentioned—yet his providence saturates every page.

From lavish banquets to deadly decrees, the unseen King orchestrates every reversal, humbling the proud and exalting the faithful. In a world where God seems absent, Esther reminds us that his silence is not his absence. Even the smallest details become instruments of his redemption.

Esther from Start2Finish is a 7-lesson journey through this remarkable book and will help Bible classes or small groups recognize God’s hand when he seems silent. Along the way, timeless truths about pride, courage, faith, and divine sovereignty come to life. Students will be reminded that even in exile, even in uncertainty, God is still working behind the scenes—turning human folly into the stage for his salvation.

All Start2Finish Bible Studies are based on the English Standard Version and guaranteed to be trusted, engaging, and convicting.
