Sermon Series: Courageous Faith

Sermon Title: How to See God in Action

Passage: Esther 7

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.

Communion is a very special element of Christian worship. Once a month we take communion together. Please join us today as we worship together through communion. We will offer both fresh bread and juice, as well as prepackaged wafer and juice packets. Please feel free to take whichever you are most comfortable with.

Join us Sundays for coffee, muffins, and fellowship outside in the Plaza before and after each service.

BRIDGEPOINT CHURCH FAMILY NIGHT

Church Family Nights are a time for our whole church family to gather for a meal, games, and an encouraging time of prayer. Our very own BridgePoint Student Ministries is planning and coordinating this month's event... you won't want to miss it! Sign up today!

This is a wonderful way to obey God’s command to love strangers. There are many international students who are looking for opportunities to spend a few hours a month with “locals.” Through the cultivated relationship, there will be plenty of opportunities to show the love of Christ and have conversations about the Gospel.
