Before & After Episode 4: Esther & Mordecai – From Comfort to Call Out

Listen Later

Theme: God positions people for purpose, but faith must lead the way. 

Summary: In this fourth episode we look at the book of Esther where we encounter Esther and her relative Mordecai. We explore how they step out from their comfortable life to walk in a purpose that ultimately leads a whole nation into freedom. We discover how each of us has a “for such a time as this” moment where God invites us to step into our purpose, even if it may be out of our comfort zone! 

Scripture Reading:

  • Esther 2:2-11 
    • Esther 3:1-6 
      • Esther 4:1, 4, 14, 15-16 
        • Esther 5:1-8, 9, 13-14 
          • Esther 6:1-4

                • Esther 10:3 

                  • Key Questions for Reflections: 

                       1. What are some small acts of integrity you can identify from your own life that might be preparing you for the bigger moments? 

                       2. Is there something God is calling you to that you need to fast and pray about before stepping out in obedience? 

                       3. Who is your Mordecai? If there’s someone in your life who has encouraged you to step into your purpose, send them a thank you, and say a prayer for them! 

                  Prayer Practice:

                  • Fast and pray this week, asking God to reveal where you need to walk in obedience to his purpose in your life.
