Title: Esther
Topic: Epic Stories of the Old Testament

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 5

Mark Lanier continues the “Epic Stories of the Old Testament” summer sermon series this week with a look at Esther, a story of palace intrigue, plot twists, morality, the first female superhero, and food.

As he does with his Biblical Literacy lessons, he uses a fantastic PowerPoint presentation with his sermon, which can be found here.

Scripture Passage: The Book of Esther

Questions/Issues Discussed:

The Story of Esther:

Did King Xerxes correctly deduce that Esther had an ulterior motive to inviting Haman to a banquet?

What trap was set for Haman?

Were there more banquets after Haman was killed?

Did you know? The book of Esther never mentions the name of God – not once!

Application for US:

There is a time to weep and a time to laugh. God is in control, whether we acknowledge Him, speak of Him, or call His name. God has a purpose for you today.

Hymn of Invitation: Ever Be, Natalie Grant

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is God teaching Pastor Averri with four teenagers in the house? A lot! He shares a funny story…

Do you think that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were nervous when they were being throw into the fiery furnace? Were they worried when the men who took them were burned to death? Or do you think they had faith through it all?

Could King Nebuchadnezzar literally see a fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego? Pastor Averri reminds us: “There is no furnace so hot that it can keep God out!”

How are you allowing God to use your life to show His faithfulness? Are you standing up for God? Are you letting your voice be heard to a lost and dying world?

Were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego aware of the danger they were in?

Sometimes the people around us do not understand how we can trust God completely in all things. How should we respond to that?

Scripture Passage: Judges 6-7

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Pastor Jarrett begins the sermon with some background on what was happening in Israel at the time. He calls it a “cycle of insanity”.

How was God using the nation of Israel?

Why is it never a good idea to compromise with God? Is compromise really just disobedience?

Who was Gideon? How is he described in the Bible? Was he just a boy at the time the angel of the Lord came to him? Tune in tomorrow to learn more about Gideon…

Scripture Passage: Joshua 1:1-9

Questions/Issues Discussed:

COURAGE IS SUSTAINED WITH GOD’S PRESENCE

Do you need “proof” of God’s existence? Look around you! You will see the proof everywhere! Pastor Riling reminds us of Thomas wanting to see the nail scars in Jesus’ hands…

How can we be sure that God will provide for us?

Do the words in the Bible only apply to the people who were mentioned? Absolutely not! Read it! God’s Word is for every person – past, present, and future!

Pastor Riling says the world today definitely has some major issues and problems and turning to God and His Word is the only answer. He also reminds us of some of the things done to people 2,000 years ago for sport. It was crazy! He also discusses David, Stephen, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. How did God provide for them? Was it the answer they were praying for?

Scripture Passage: Joshua 1:1-9

Questions/Issues Discussed:

COURAGE IS REAFFIRMED IN GOD’S WORK

Have you ever been confused about something that God brought into your life? How can you determine God’s purpose?

Why is it so easy to get sidetracked by worldly things? Does it mean we aren’t “good Christians”? Or do we just need to draw closer to the Lord?

Remember: God is always doing a good work in your life! Trust and believe in His plan.

When good things happen in your life, do you think it’s just a coincidence? Or do you thank God for that blessing?

COURAGE IS SUSTAINED WITH GOD’S PRESENCE

Is God’s provision for us consistent?

How did Jesus encourage the disciples? Can he still encourage us today?

Scripture Passage: Joshua 1:1-9

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Do world events and situations strike fear in you? What does the Word say about that?

Are you trusting God? Are you being obedient to His Word? Do you believe He has your best interests in His hands? Pastor Riling reminds us that blessings come from obedience.

COURAGE IS ROOTED IN GOD’S WORD

Do you read self-help books? They’re great, but are you reading your Bible, too? If not, why not? It’s there to help you! Is your mind “empty” of God’s Word? What will fill your brain if it’s not filled with God’s Word? Worldly thoughts!

Did Joshua have some big shoes to fill?

Why do we fear the future so much? Is it just human nature or is it Satan tempting us? How can we find peace?

Find Pastor Jarrett’s sermon here:

Scripture Passage: 1 Kings 17-18

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is your “god”? What is getting your attention? Do you feel full or empty after allowing that “thing” to get your devotion and time? How do you feel after you give your devotion and time to your Heavenly Father?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

CHARACTERISTIC #3: He is obedient.

Why on earth would God send Elijah to confront King Ahab – the man who was killing Christians?
Are you being obedient to God in the small things? If not, how can you be obedient in the big things?
Are you more concerned with hurting people’s feelings than hurting God’s feelings? Which one really matters? Pastor Jarrett compares this to lukewarm coffee…

Find Pastor Jarrett’s sermon here:

Scripture Passage: 1 Kings 17-18

Questions/Issues Discussed:

CHARACTERISTIC #2: He is tested.

Why does God test us when he is preparing us to be used? Are you paying attention to God’s guidance – even in the midst of your trials? Pastor Jarrett says: “The furnace of affliction is God’s chosen method to conform us to the image of Christ.”


CHARACTERISTIC #3: He is obedient.

What was life like for Elijah and the Israelites at this point in history? Was it extremely difficult to be a believer?

Why on earth would God send Elijah to confront King Ahab – the man who was killing Christians and quite possibly the most evil king that had ever lived up until that point?

Are you being obedient to God in the small things? If not, how can you be obedient in the big things?

Day 5

Champion Forest Executive Pastor Jarrett Stephens begins a new summer sermon series this week entitled  “Epic Stories of the Old Testament”. His first sermon reminds us that giants are in front of us every day, but God is always there, fighting right along with us.

Find Pastor Jarrett’s sermon here:

Scripture Passage: 1 Samuel 17 David and Goliath

Questions/Issues Discussed:

How was David’s faith tested when he faced the giant? What did he say to Goliath when he faced him?

Will your faith be tested? Absolutely! Will we always know the outcome when we face our giants? Nope! That is why we must have faith!

David ran quickly toward the battle line – toward Goliath. Are you running quickly toward your battle – toward your giant?

Pastor Jarrett reminds us today: “We never face our giants alone. Your battles are God’s battles.”

LIFE LESSON #2 FROM DAVID: Listen to the voice of God, not the voice of others. Who are you listening to? Who is guiding your decisions? Why would you ever listen to anyone OTHER than the voice of God?

Remember: Time alone with God will reveal so much to you! Constantly be in prayer, seeking guidance from your Heavenly Father.


LIFE LESSON #3 FROM DAVID: Act on faith in God and don’t be paralyzed by fear. How are you preparing for the future? Are you scared? Worried? Fearful? What does the Scripture say about worry and fear?

What giant are you facing? It is NOTHING compared to God!
Are you making God bigger than your giant?
Remember: “You cannot checkmate God!” – Pastor Jarrett
