<p>Tim Chilvers speaks on Esther 7-8.<strong> as part </strong>of our Conspiracy series.</p><p>The book of Esther ends with a victory feast - and a body count. The villain is impaled. God is never mentioned. An entire people group celebrates their survival. And you’re left wondering what to do with it all. Where is God in stories like this? What do you do when the “good guys” don’t look entirely good? And what happens when you realise the line between hero and villain might run through your own heart? Esther refuses to give easy answers. Instead, it invites you into something deeper — a posture of humility in a world obsessed with being right, and a stubborn, defiant hope when everything feels dark.</p><p>At Riverside we are on a journey together to help people get to know Jesus and grow as his followers across Birmingham and beyond. Whoever you are, whatever you believe, you&#39;re so welcome in this community. Find out more about Riverside Church &amp; plan your visit: <a href="https://riverside-church.org.uk/">riverside-church.org.uk</a><u><strong></strong></u></p>
