It's My Moment

This powerful message takes us deep into the Book of Esther, revealing profound truths about divine calling and purpose. We discover that our calling isn't about us at all—it's about the people God has positioned us to reach. The sermon unpacks Esther 4:13-14, where Mordecai challenges Esther with those famous words: 'Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?' We learn that God orchestrates every detail of our lives, syncopating time and circumstances to align with our calling. The message distinguishes between identity (who we are), purpose (why we are), and calling (who we are for), reminding us that we are called to specific people who need us. What's particularly striking is the reframing of Esther's story—we see her not just as a queen, but as Hadassah, the myrtle tree, symbolizing strength and resilience through private suffering. The sermon challenges us to recognize that our private perseverance is preparing us for public purpose. Everything we've endured—the losses, the struggles, the crushing moments—has been shaping us into vessels ready to answer the call. This isn't about waiting for a perfect moment; this IS our moment. The glory of God is ready to be revealed through us if we'll embrace our calling, no matter where life takes us.
