That Night the King Could Not Sleep

Timing is everything. In so many areas of life, so much comes down to timing. What happened when. How fast something unfolded. What came first. What came last. What happened at just the right time…or at just the wrong time! Timing is so important. Especially in storytelling. Right? Especially in comedy. Have you ever told a joke that just fell flat because you got the timing wrong? I’ve done that up here!  The storytelling in Esther chapter 6 is all about timing. And when you really get it, you see that it’s comedic timing.

 

Pastor Matt Mitchell preaching on Esther 6:1-14.
