Sermon Series: Courageous Faith

Sermon Title: The Invincible God

Passage: Esther 6

The reason the story of Esther is so wonderfully helpful is that the ways of God in her times were so much like the ways of God in our own. As you read the story of Esther, you will notice something

remarkable: the name of God is never mentioned, not even once. There are no overt miracles. No divine appearances or manifestations. If God is acting, and it is unmistakable that He is, He is acting very much behind the scenes. He plays a major role, to be sure, but He is staying “off stage.”

Over the next several weeks, we will learn how to trust God boldly. We will learn to trust a God we cannot see, to “lean on the everlasting arms,” as the old hymn puts it, even when those arms are invisible. And the story of Esther will show us how. Through her example, you and I will learn how to live with courageous faith.

Please join us today as we witness and celebrate those taking their next steps with Christ through baptism. The baptism service will be in the Plaza between the 9:30 and 11 AM services.

Join BridgePoint Men this spring on Wednesday nights for a Bible Study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark is the most concise, action packed of the Gospel narratives. Mark’s account asks us to consider who Jesus is, why He came, what Jesus accomplished while here and what will be our response to Him? Come prepare to be challenged.
