Do you know how many yellow cars there are on the road? It's not what jumps out as a popular car color, but there are more of them than you might think. The key is that you have to be on the lookout for them. Likewise, God is guiding and directing our path and shows up in big and small ways in our lives. Again, we need to be on the lookout for it. Today as we go to Esther Chapter 6, we are going to see this in a number of examples. Although God is not specifically mentioned at all in the Book of Esther, it's obvious that He is there. Also, we are going to see that we need to be people who look out of the window and not gaze in the mirror; our lives are made whole when we put the needs of others above our own. The contrast in how Mordecai and Haman live clearly illustrates this.

Pastor Josh teaches from the story of Esther, showing how true purpose grows out of dependence on God rather than self-reliance. Through Esther's fasting, discernment, and courageous obedience, he highlights how God forms strength and wisdom in moments of surrender. Contrasting Esther's dependence with Haman's pursuit of wealth, legacy, and status, the message calls believers to examine what they rely on most.

Following Jesus means risking the palace. In this message, Pastor Josh explores the story of Esther and reminds us that calling is rarely safe, fast, or glamorous—but it is always worth it. Discover how God uses ordinary people who are willing to step out of comfort and into faithful obedience.

Is there something in your life that seems to big to overcome? Chip teaches through 1 Samuel 17 and shares how we can move from a spirit of fear to overcoming our Giants.

In this message, Pastor Josh walks through Esther 3 and shows how purpose often becomes clearest when obedience starts costing something. As Haman's hatred turns into a devastating decree, we see the danger of pride, misplaced trust, and becoming numb to evil. But even in the darkest moments, God's providence is at work—calling His people to endure, stand firm in truth, and live with bold purpose.

We live in a world that constantly invites us to bow—to pressure, power, comfort, or approval—promising purpose if we comply. In the story of Esther, we see that real purpose isn't found in outcomes, recognition, or position, but in faithful obedience to God in the moment we're in. This message explores what it looks like to live with conviction under pressure and why following God's direction matters more than chasing a destination. Discover how refusing to trade purpose for convenience can shape a life of deep, lasting faith.

What if your greatest God-given purpose isn't found in a big, defining moment — but in the quiet, ordinary Tuesdays of life? In this message from Esther 2, Pastor Josh shows how God's providence is still at work even when His name isn't visible, and how the lives of Mordecai and Esther illustrate that purpose is formed through daily faithfulness and preparation. Rather than chasing significance or waiting for a breakthrough, we're called to submit to God where we already are and train as disciples for the good works He's placed in front of us.

What's your purpose in life? This is a big question and something we're going to consider over the next few weeks. We are kicking off a new series on the Book of Esther in the Bible. In this first part we're going to see a King who thinks his purpose is to show off his power, his wealth, and his wife. He holds big parties and is surrounded with people who enable and influence him and none of them have any respect for women. Not surprisingly, his wife has other thoughts. All of this is going to clash, and we're going to learn from the King's mistakes. We will see that God builds us and prepares us for our purpose and that God has an intentional plan for each and every one of us.

When we think of advent, our mind probably turns to the lead up to Christmas and the coming of Jesus, but this is not the only advent; Jesus will return. In this message, we look at this second-coming by focusing on Revelation Chapter 21. We will see that for those of us who have accepted Jesus in our hearts and walk with Him – in between His first advent and His second advent – we're experiencing all of the things that God has for us. We will see some practical things we can do in 2026 that will allow us to live the life that God wants us to live and we will see how this can fill us with a new sense of wonder and awe for all He does in our lives.
