Our Loving, Angry God (Esther 7:1-10)

Did you know that we worship a God who is angry? Hundreds of times in Scripture God is described this way. Certainly God is gracious and compassionate and slow to anger, but that doesn't discount his righteous wrath. Our passage this Sunday emphasizes God's judgment against sin and sinners. We'll see that God's wrath is actually a necessary part of God's salvation, and why, even if it seems counter-intuitive at first, God's anger is a very good thing for us.
