Summary
Esther, a Jewish woman in ancient Persia, feels swept along by life's circumstances as she is selected to be queen. The sermon introduces a three-week series examining how God orchestrates purpose through seemingly uncontrollable events, using Esther's story to demonstrate divine sovereignty over chaos and the importance of being molded by righteous influences.
Highlights
What seems out of control to us is perfectly in control with God, and God is steering Esther's life towards a very big purpose beyond anything she could ever have imagined.
When your life is most out of control, God is perfectly in control. And what bad situation you might be in right now might be the moment that God is steering you towards the greatest purpose in your life for which he has created you.
In order to really seize the purpose for which God has created you, in order to be ready, you have to get ready. And one of the ways in which she got ready was that she opened herself to being molded in the best ways possible by the people that were around her.
