In Esther 1, we see King Xerxes so wrapped up in himself that he makes a drunken, foolish decision. Instead of putting his wife’s needs first, he choose to demoralize and shame her. Today, we contrast this against the example of what a godly marriage should look like.
As we begin our new series on the book of Esther, we see King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) throwing a massive party that lasted 180 days. This party was about indulging in every pleasure imaginable. We can observe that the kingdom this king is building is all about his own glory. What type of kingdom are you building in your life?
