Drippings from the Honeycomb
Do you think the Bible is boring? King David, in one of his psalms, said the Scriptures were so sweet they were like "drippings from the honeycomb." Perhaps it's time that we take a few minutes out of our busy lives and look at the Bible through fresh eyes! Join us on a journey to find these "sweet drippings" as we walk through the books of the Bible by studying selected key verses through which we can glimpse the whole theme of each book! We will look at stories you might not have heard before, talk about the real people and places behind each of these verses, see how one verse can connect to many others across the entire Bible, and learn to see the beauty of God's sovereign plan which is woven through every page of His Word.

Three secondary characters in the Book of Esther orbit the king, each shaping the story through their interactions with him. Though they occasionally cross paths with one another, the king remains the gravitational center through which the drama unfolds. What follows is a story steeped in comedy, satire, irony, and bitter hostility. Some characters ascend to dizzying heights while others plummet to humiliating lows. And presiding over it all is a puppet king — a volatile, self-indulgent ruler torn between pride, anger, and sheer incompetence.
Against this backdrop, the hidden God reveals His unmatched power over the great and the small, the mighty and the insignificant. He cannot be thwarted. His purposes cannot be shaken. His counsel cannot be overturned. He will speak the final word, and He will act in whatever way He chooses to bring His sovereign plan to completion.
