This week, we reflected on God’s providence through seemingly impossible circumstances, both in the story of Esther and in our own church’s journey of faith over the past two decades. Esther’s courage to trust God despite fear, and our church’s testimony of His provision and guidance, illustrate that what may appear as coincidence is often evidence of His sovereignty. By living by faith and not by sight, we are called to trust God’s unseen hand at work in every area of our lives.
REVIEW: Faith in Action
- READ: Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
- DISCUSS: How can we develop confidence in God’s unseen work when we face uncertainty in our lives?
REVIEW: Trusting God’s Timing
- READ: Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
- DISCUSS: How can we trust God’s timing and direction when His plan seems unclear or delayed?
REVIEW: Called for Such a Time as This
- READ: Esther 4:14 "Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?"
- DISCUSS: In what ways might God be calling you to step out in faith and trust Him in your current season?
ASK:
What else did you get from this week's sermon? What actions or next steps can you take to apply it to your life?
PRAY:
Heavenly Father, thank You for being faithful even when we cannot see Your plan clearly. Help us to trust in Your perfect timing and to live by faith, confident in Your power and guidance. Strengthen our hearts to step out boldly, knowing that You reward those who earnestly seek You. Amen.
