Episode Synopsis
Send us a textSunday Morning | April 28, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KYIn Pastor John's sermon "Power Play," he examines the dynamics of power as depicted in Esther 1. Ahaseurus showcases his authority through extravagant feasting, culminating in a grand display of power by summoning Queen Vashti to appear before him, only to be met with her refusal, thus representing power denied. Seeking counsel, the king ultimately exercises his power by exiling Vashti. Pastor John underscores the futility of commanding respect, asserting that true respect cannot be coerced but must be earned. He draws parallels between the narrative and the gospel of John, highlighting God's tendency to work through the weak, a foreshadowing of Esther's pivotal role in the subsequent chapters. Through this analysis, Pastor John elucidates the intricate interplay of power and divine providence in the biblical account.You can join us on Sunday mornings at 11 AM for worship.
