In this powerful message from Esther chapter 9, Pastor Fortunato unpacks the final verses that show us how to turn temporary victories into permanent legacies. Discover why God required TWO letters to confirm the Feast of Purim, and what this teaches us about biblical authority, unified leadership, and passing our faith to the next generation. In This Esther 9 Sermon, You'll Learn: ✅ Why Esther's father is mentioned for the FIRST time at the end of the book ✅ The power of unified leadership between Esther and Mordecai—and what it means for the church today ✅ How God positions weak people to accomplish mighty works through His strength ✅ The difference between authority used for control vs. authority used to bless others ✅ Why we must have BOTH peace and truth together (not one without the other) ✅ The biblical principle of fasting BEFORE feasting that most Christians miss ✅ How to ensure your faith becomes a legacy for your children and grandchildren, not just a current generation testimony This expository sermon on the Book of Esther challenges us to celebrate God's deliverance while remembering what it cost, to use whatever authority God gives us to bless others rather than control them, and to establish written records of God's faithfulness that will endure for generations to come. Perfect for anyone seeking: 🔹 Deeper Bible study on Esther 🔹 Understanding biblical authority and leadership 🔹 Learning how to pass Christian faith to the next generation 🔹 Practical preaching that applies Scripture to daily life 🔹 Encouragement to serve God with peace in your heart As we step into 2026, let's not be first-generation-only Christians.
