Podcast Update 2020.11.24 by Summit Church

Kailey Newkirk // Where can we wisely place our faith? Instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all solution, Esther and Mordecai had to work within the system they were given, and while God was in control of the outcome, he used the channels humanity had put in place. But we also can’t place our faith in people to fight for us when no one can win the battles of your heart or character but you. We can’t place our faith in human hands. Esther’s story points to the sovereignty of God—absolutely—but it also shows us that our choices matter. We can choose to place our faith in Jesus because he is the only one who can bring peace everlasting.

Kailey Newkirk // When faced with a defining moment, how do you respond? Esther was challenged, called to take a risk “for such a time as this.” But she didn’t make her decision recklessly. She prepared well, which is the hard work for any of us when we are faced with a choice. Defining moments require preparation and surrender. Not only did Esther prepare well, but she surrendered the outcome to God. He didn’t fail her in her defining moment. In our tough choices, we can surrender the outcomes to God because he doesn’t need to prove his commitment to us—he already has through his grace. And we can’t force God to do what we want by being faithful. We can only be faithful in response to what he’s already done.

Kailey Newkirk // In the face of our uncertainties, God is not surprised. He cares deeply for us and equips us to handle what comes our way. It may not seem that God is leading you in this, to this, but ask him what you can do now that you are here. You don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, but you can work to bring peace in your spaces. God will accomplish his will with or without you. But with God, there are blessings here and nowhere else. He doesn’t promise to lead us where we want to go, but his providence will always take us where we need to be. Maybe God made you the way you are for such a time as this.

Kailey Newkirk // God still works through morally ambiguous characters. He invites us to look for evidence of him even when it’s not obvious to us. He is always at work behind the scenes. God is the hero in the story of Esther and Mordecai and their people. God is speaking to us off the pages, and he is in control. He is evident in every seemingly insignificant decision. He is the one who can draw the threads of this drama together, and he has not abandoned us in our time. While we wait to see glimpses of God, we trust he is always in motion.

Zach Van Dyke // How are you going through life? Are you walking the way of grace? Grace teaches us godliness, and nothing else works. God supplies the life he calls us to through Jesus—through grace. He calls us to love others, to disadvantage ourselves for the sake of others. Grace can radically re-orient our whole lives, and it’s our only hope for godliness. Grace leads to change. Grace gives new life.
