What Are the Chances? Sample

What Are the Chances?

DAY 1 OF 5

What are the chances of us being connected within a community of faith and those around us pushing us towards Jesus Christ for Kingdom purpose?  Our lives are transformed again and again by many God- moments building upon one another over time. 

Queen Esther’s Uncle Mordecai was a Benjamite within a legacy family, a servant of the King in Susa.  Generations back, their family had been brought to this land and in that time in history played a critical role in saving many. Mordecai gave Esther visibility into the corridor conversations within the Kingdom of Susa.  

During a royal banquet, Queen Vashti publicly demonstrated resistance to King Xerxes resulting in his rage and her dismissal, setting a nationwide competition in motion to source a new wife. Of all the women in the entire Persian empire, Esther, a young, orphaned, Jewish girl was chosen. She was raised to the most powerful place in the kingdom beside the King and found favor with everyone who met her. What are the chances that this woman would be hand-picked for a purpose?  

QUESTIONS  

Consider the range of emotions Esther would have felt stepping into this position of power? Can you relate to finding yourself in an unlikely position by God’s grace?  

Have you ever considered the part you play in propelling those around you to fulfill their God-given destiny?
