God doesn’t place us randomly, He positions us intentionally. Every believer will face a moment where comfort must bow to calling, because we are here for such a time as this. This sermon should give your clarity on how to move with boldness.

Esther 2 is a messy chapter, but God is still moving even when His hand seems hidden. This week we talked about how God works through broken systems, flawed people, and complicated stories to accomplish His purpose.

We are beginning our journey through Esther, a book where God’s name is never mentioned but His hand is everywhere. In chapter 1 we watch a messy situation unfold that God is quietly using for His purposes. Even when we cannot see Him, God is still working.

Exodus 35:4–10, 20–29

Everything God needed to build the Tabernacle was already in the hands of His people. In the same way, God has already placed in us what’s needed to build His church and reach our city. This message is all about seeing generosity as partnership with God in what He’s already doing.

Luke 19:1-10

This passage reminds us that His grace doesn’t just forgive, it restores, renews, and reclaims what seemed too far gone. It’s a reminder that no life is beyond His reach when He decides to make it His own.

Paul reminds us that the Christian life is full of gains and losses, ups and downs, but the true prize is knowing Christ. He redefines success by counting everything else as loss compared to the surpassing worth of intimacy with Jesus. This sermon will call us to press forward with maturity, not complacency, keeping Christ at the center no matter what comes our way.

This sermon reminds us that behind human conflict and brokenness there is an unseen spiritual battle. Satan is real, he schemes, and his goal is to deceive, divide, and destroy. But God gives us armor and weapons so we can stand firm in victory.

Main Scripture - John 2:23–3:16

This sermon is intended to ignite believers to give Jesus their all. It is a call not to settle for a superficial faith but to walk in an allegiance that shows up every single day.

Romans 8:29-30 NKJV

“A couple of weeks back we spoke about the idea of Moving Forward. That our faith is one of maturation, movement and progression. However if Joshua 3 was about why we should move forward, Romans 8 is about how we can move forward. I want to argue that we can have confidence in the future because of what God has already accomplished in the past. What has God accomplished? According to text, before the foundations of the earth God has ensured that your faith will not fail. In this life you may be subject to losing a lot of things but one thing you can't afford to lose in your faith. Yet God is such a God that He not only gives us faith to believe but takes on the responsibility to sustain our faith to keep us believing. This sermon we will be exploring how God displays His marvelous keeping power over our lives."
