Summit Church Service | Esther: Week 3 | November 15, 2020

Join us this weekend as we continue our sermon series based in the Book of Esther. Today, we hear how God is doesn’t fail us in defining moments. We’ll hear about Esther’s choice to be courageous and how God may call you to do something even at great personal risk. Talk About It! - What have been some defining moments in your own life? Does it feel like you're on the cusp of any defining moments right now? - Have you ever lived with a foot in two different camps? Why was it hard to make a choice and pick a camp? What was it like for you to live that way? - How would surrendering the outcomes change the way you live and prepare for what God calls you to? — 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. — Get connected with us! - https://summitchurch.wufoo.com/forms/pwm3mf910zdmgf/ Online Giving - https://www.summitconnect.org/give Prayer Requests - https://summitchurch.wufoo.com/forms/p136jpf80gyo52d/ Children's Ministry Resources - https://www.summitconnect.org/childrens-ministry Reopening FAQ and RSVPs - https://www.summitconnect.org/rsvp Serve at Summit - https://summitchurch.wufoo.com/forms/q66rypa0zd1gby/ Outdoor Worship Services - https://www.summitconnect.org/outdoor-worship-services Sermon Scripture - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Esther+4%3A12-16&version=NRSV
