A COMMUNITY FOR YOU
1 Corinthians 11:17-26 1. Jesus Knows You—and Still Gives Himself for You Paul confronts the Corinthians because their divisions had infected even the Lord’s Supper. The table that was meant to proclaim their unity in Christ had become a place where some were being elevated and others overlooked. The Lord’s Supper reminds us that we…

A PLACE FOR YOU
1 Corinthians 11:17-26 1. Because of Jesus, You Have a Place Paul rebukes the Corinthian church because their gatherings were marked by divisions and factions. They were supposed to come together around Jesus, but instead they had begun defining themselves by which leader they followed and who belonged to which group. The Lord’s Supper was…

LISTEN AND LOOK
Esther 9-10 1. God Can Turn Sorrow into Rejoicing Esther 9 begins with one of Scripture’s great reversals: “On the day when the Jews’ enemies had hoped to overpower them, just the opposite happened.” The decree of death had been issued, but God brought deliverance. The date chosen for destruction became the date of celebration.…

WHAT’S THE TIME?
Esther 4:1-17 1. Courage Begins with Trusting God’s Purpose When Mordecai challenged Esther, he reminded her that her position was not accidental. Though he could not fully see God’s plan, he trusted that God had sovereignly placed Esther exactly where she needed to be. Esther’s circumstances suddenly became more than personal opportunity—they became kingdom responsibility.…

SERVANT OR SELF-SERVING
In Esther, we see two contrasting characters: Mordecai and Haman. One shows us the common way of man as self-serving. The other demonstrates servant leadership, pointing us ultimately toward Jesus, the ultimate servant leader. In the midst of all the tension of Esther’s opening, listen to Pastor Kevin’s message, SERVANT OR SELF-SERVING.

SERVANT OR SELF-SERVING
Esther 2:19-3:15 1. Earthly power is fragile, but God’s sovereignty is unshakable. Esther 2 ends with what seems like an insignificant detail. Mordecai uncovers an assassination plot against the king, Esther reports it, the conspirators are executed, and the event is quietly recorded in the royal chronicles. Nothing more is said. At least, not yet.…
