Sermon

Title: After the Credits Roll

Text: Esther 9-10

The Story

· A great reversal

· A unified nation

· A defensive front

· A victorious celebration

· A national remembrance

· An annual festival

Reflections

· God specializes in using evil for His good purposes

· Left to ourselves, we are all enemies of God

· How we disciple others matters, both in faith and practice

· We are tempted to forget God’s continued goodness

· God accomplishes his perfect plans through greatly imperfect people

· Greatest hero of the book of Esther: Jesus

Love the Church

March 1, 2023 • Vlad Baraniuk • 1 Thessalonians 2:17—3:13

Sermon Title: Love the Church! Text: 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:13 The church isn’t: · A holy shrine · A spectator sport for a superstar personality · An avenue for experiential spirituality · A club for holy people The church is a new community that is: · United together by the Gospel (2:17-20) · Challenged under many afflictions (3:1-4) · Strengthened by faith in Christ alone (3:5) · Standing firm in the victory of Christ (3:6-8) · Bound by love for one another (3:9-13) The Bible unapologetically calls each follower of Jesus to be lovingly and fully committed to the local body
