Listen Later

🎯 What if the worst day the enemy planned became your greatest celebration? Discover how God turned Haman's death decree into Israel's greatest victory celebration in this powerful exposition of Esther 9. Pastor Fortunato reveals why writing down your testimony isn't just important—it's essential for the next generation's faith. In this verse-by-verse study of the establishment of the Feast of Purim, you'll learn why Mordecai's first action after victory was to write it down, creating a memorial that Jewish people still celebrate thousands of years later. This isn't just ancient history—it's a blueprint for how believers today should preserve and pass down testimonies of God's deliverance. From Exodus 17's command to "write this for a memorial" through the fulfillment in Esther's day, see how God completes His promises across generations. Pastor Fortunato connects the dots between Old Testament feasts and New Testament ordinances like the Lord's Supper and baptism, showing how Christians memorialize spiritual deliverance just as the Jews memorialized physical deliverance. What you'll discover in this sermon: ✝️ Why written testimonies outlast oral traditions and prevent future generations from forgetting God's faithfulness 📖 How God flips the enemy's weapon into the name of your victory—from the bronze serpent to the cross of Christ 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Practical strategies for passing down faith to your children through personal testimony and family devotions 🔄 The biblical pattern of God reversing curses into blessings, addictions into ministries, and victimhood into victory ⚖️ Romans 14 principles on unity without uniformity in how believers celebrate God's goodness
