Exploring Purim   Part 10:  Awaken From Sleep  -  English only.   The Book of Esther contains an exciting story filled with intrigue.  The future of the Children of Israel appears to hang in the balance, but a dramatic turn of events takes place, giving birth to the joyous holiday of Purim.  This transformation begins with the seemingly insignificant comment about the King having trouble sleeping. Yet this verse is a key to understanding how the Almighty works in our daily lives!   This is a rebroadcast of a March 3, 2001 sermon from our archives.
