Synopsis:
Sometimes in life, we feel like God isn't with us. This is how the Jewish nation has felt under the rule of the Persians. In this sermon, we see what it takes to have the courage to do the hard things in life for the cause of Christ just as Esther did for God, and how we can look back and see He was there working the whole time.
Questions:
- How does the story of Esther impact you? What stood out?
- Have you ever had a season where God seemed silent?
- Can you look back and see where God was working for your good? For the good of your family? For your county? Your Country? The world?
- Who is someone from your life that you'd consider an example of self-sacrifice like Esther?
- How does self-sacrifice look different in this season of your life than it did in the previous years?
