Episode 093 - Worship - The Time We've Been Given (Esther 1-4)

Welcome to worship with the Farmville Baptist congregation! In this episode, we hear the story of Esther and ponder what we do when moments of influence and action come - do we act in the service of God's justice and love, even if it is not on our own behalf but on behalf of others? This is the third in our sermon series on living as creatures of time and using well the days, so we hope you will join us for more times of reflection on this theme over the next few weeks.

Our choir also offers the wonderful anthem, "How Firm a Foundation."
