Sermon
Title: Commitment that Leads to Action
Text: Esther 5
One Set of Plans…
• Developed in prayer
• Defined by sacrifice
• Elevates people
• Results in life
Another set of plans…
• Developed in secret
• Defined by selfishness
• Exploits people
• Results in death
Reflections
• Opportunities for obedience is always a call to faith
• Delayed obedience is a dangerous strategy
• A Gospel-centered worldview is categorized by selflessness and sacrifice
• My strongest emotions can often reveal my deepest idols
• My ultimate significance is found in the Gospel
“Nothing speaks more to your significance than God the Father caring enough to be involved in
your situation and sending Jesus to lay down his life in your place and then empower you with
His Spirit for the purpose of the Kingdom.” – Landon Dowden
