Personal reflection is a hallmark of the Lenten season. Jesus spent 40 days reflecting on his mission to save the world.

We continue on in the sermon series in Esther and we hear about the plot to kill all the Jews of Persia. Queen Esther is confronted with a dilemma. Does she play it safe or risk it all?
