Sermon Notes: 

"For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?  - Esther 4:14

 

"On the third day, Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king’s hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance. When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand." - Esther 5:1-2

 

"All the king’s officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that they be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter to them and spares their lives. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king." - Esther 4:11

 

 "And if I perish, I perish." - Esther 4:16

 

Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son. - Genesis 18:14

 

And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. - Hebrews 11:11

 

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. - Philippians 4:13

 

And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. - Ruth 1:16

 

"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” - Proverbs 31:25
