Sermon 1

Not a Fairytale

We often think of Esther's story as a biblical fairytale - an orphaned girl who marries a king and saves her people. But looking closer, we see it's so much more than a fairytale.

Esther's story challenges us to consider our responsibility to take a stand when we face big problems in our world, even when speaking up might cost everything.

Sermon 2

Speak Up

When evil is happening in the world around us, what do we do? In Esther's story, when Queen Vashti is mistreated, the king's advisors remain silent. But later, when Mordecai discovers a plot against the king, he speaks up.

The book of Esther challenges us with this vital truth: when evil happens around us, we can't sit silently - we must speak out.

Sermon 3

Not a Problem

When is someone else's problem our concern? Too often we easily dismiss the struggles other people are facing because they don't affect us personally.

But our faith requires us to see beyond ourselves and recognize that what isn't a problem for us might be life-changing for someone else.

Sermon 4

Take a Stand

What are you willing to stand for, even when it costs you everything? In a world that pressures us to conform, the courage to take a moral stand can become a major test of faith.

But, as followers of Jesus, we're called to stand up to evil. And realize the most important question isn't "What will others think if I stand?" but "What will God think if I bow?"

Sermon 5

Where Is God?

When life's challenges seem overwhelming, we question where God is in our struggles. But faith means trusting God's faithfulness even when He seems silent.

So, yes, we can face tough times with confidence not because everything will go right, but because God has proven trustworthy in the past. 

Sermon 6

Happily Ever After

Life isn't a fairytale where every problem can be solved with the wave of a wand and then we all get to live happily ever after. No, the problems we face in this world are big and complicated, so it can take a long time to make any progress on solving them.

So our calling, as followers of Jesus, isn't to give up when things don't happen quickly. Our calling is to stand firm no matter how long it takes.
