Sermon: "Conquest and Commemoration" // Esther 9-10

Redeemer Rockwall

The story of Esther forces you to think that maybe Christianity is way more than you "signed up for". You might have even been taught that following Jesus was supposed to make you healthier and wealthier. Or maybe that the gospel was there to make you cozy and happy on this side of heaven? But the gospel message in Esther looks less like comfort and a lot more like a cross. Consider the cost of following Jesus. Are you really following Jesus? We pray you see Jesus in this story, and that He changes you forever. The God of peace is with you. Stand firm and know that the God of peace will soon crush the head of the serpent under your feet.
