Famous Sayings 3 - Facing Discouraging Times With Determination
Pastor Ben Kingston continues the famous sayings series with the story of Esther. Mordecai tells her that God has placed Esther as Queen for such a time as this to save her people.
Esther 4:1-17
1. She had her own reality
2. She had to accept her God-given beauty
3. She had to see that she was part of the answer
4. We all have a responsibility in discouraging times
5. Our deliverance is not dependent upon our resources, but our obedience in the face of peril.
The question is not how can I skirt, escape, or otherwise survive these discouraging times, but instead what has God called me to do to influence, change, and lead others in these discouraging times. How can I be a change agent?
