Sermon Point: Providential Reversal. Mordacai’s declaration gave the Jews the right to defend themselves against their enemies. Rather than wait passively for their enemies to gather and attack, the writer tells us they took their defensive forces and routed their enemies preemptively before they could attack. Who, then, is our enemy that we battle against? It's not people, but the enemy of enemies, Satan. How, then, do we battle against him? We join together regularly as a body of believers and we rely on the word of God. How do you see God working around you, whether in people or circumstances? In what ways can you join together with other believers to be God's hands and feet at this moment in time?
Sermon Point: Purposeful Remembrance. The book of Esther closes with the recounting of the greatness of Mordecai. He had gone from the King’s Gate to the King’s Court and was now the second in command. Two of the three most influential people in the kingdom are Jewish. Talk about a reversal. Even a new feast was inaugurated for the purpose of celebrating and remembering how God providentially reversed the plans of Haman and turned the fortunes of the Jews for His Glory and their good. As God’s people, we also have some purposeful celebrations that remind us of how God has “reversed the curse” of the garden of Eden. Our God and King sent His son to pay for the sin of the world. And all who come to Jesus and surrender to Him will Find Life. In what ways can we remember God and celebrate Him more frequently? What is one thing you can add to your week as a reminder to think on God's goodness?
