19 April 2026 | Esther: Courageous Faith in a Committed God | Esther 1:1-22

What does God do when power is proud, wisdom is worldly, and everything seems to rest in the hands of men?

In this message from Esther 1, Peter Budimir opens the book by setting the stage for the story to come. Ahasuerus appears powerful, wealthy, and untouchable, yet the chapter quickly exposes how fragile human glory is. Behind the feast, the pride, and the royal decree, God is quietly preparing the way for His purposes.

This sermon is an encouraging reminder that the Lord is still at work, even when He is not named, even when events seem chaotic, and even when human power looks absolute. Esther 1 shows that while men act in pride and weakness, God is still governing the story.
