Sunday August 20, 2017 -Esther

Even in times of not knowing where God is, He is always working. Our circumstances often seem as if we are completely alone in life. We sometimes feel as if God has forgotten or even abandoned us, but take heart. There is a purpose that is greater than what we can see. 

In our series, we see God continuing to orchestrate events that seem hopeless to unfold His plan for the good of His people and for His glory. In our own lives, even when He seems hidden, we can trust God with our lives and the situations surrounding us. Just as we see God making what seemed impossible in the lives of Esther and the Jewish people, we can rest in knowing He is the same today as He was then. God has rescued the world by sending Christ, who redeems our broken past and redefines our rebel heart. Because of Jesus we are made new and we can experience grace from God. As Kenny said in the message, "God is constantly working things out. In our lives, we worry about tomorrow and we have so many doubts about if God is really present or if He is really doing something. Understand that God is using people we can not even imagine, even people we think are wicked and evil, to shape situations around us so He will receive glory from that."
