Episode Synopsis

Are you ready to step into the presence of the King, even when it could cost you everything? In this powerful sermon from Esther Chapter 4, discover the hidden references to God in a book where His name is never mentioned, and learn why sometimes doing right means breaking man's law. What You'll Discover: • The mysterious "another place" in Esther 4:14 and its connection to God's dwelling place in 1 Kings 8 • Why Esther's three-day fast was more significant than we realize in ancient times • How to recognize when God is calling you to act "for such a time as this" • The difference between righteous rebellion and selfish disobedience • Why spiritual firefighters are needed in today's world Key Moments: • The hidden references to God's presence throughout the book of Esther • Esther's transformation from passive to active faith • The spiritual significance of fasting in biblical times vs. today • Paul's example of voluntary fasting despite already suffering hunger • The courage to reveal your true identity as a Christian Pastor Fortunato challenges us with this question: Are you living like a Christian in disguise, or are you willing to make known who you really are? Just like Esther risked approaching the king illegally to save her people, we must be willing to step into God's presence and take righteous risks for His kingdom. This message will convict your heart about the cost of discipleship and inspire you to count the cost of following Christ, even when it means standing alone. Whether you're facing peer pressure, workplace challenges, or family opposition, Esther's example shows us how to trust God's sovereignty while taking bold action.
