Scripture of the Day
And he said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart
1 Kings 8:23

PRAYER
My God, as I enjoy the vastness of Your Glory and splendor, I will be mindful to continue building the business, ministry, department, company, and family that You’ve called me to build. As I build, I will make sure that, like Solomon, I will construct my life off of Your blueprint and the blueprint or specifications You’ve set for others. When the temptation comes to play it small or hold back from giving my all I will look to today's reading in 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles. To remind myself that You deserve nothing less than my best. So today... I commit my all to You, I declare that You will receive nothing less than my best in all that I do. When excellence seems out of my reach I declare that You will bring the right people into my life to elevate everything that I touch. I acknowledge that whatever I build will serve as a monument to You and Your glory. Therefore I will not stop until the world sees the beauty and splendor of what You’ve placed inside of me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Where has strength come from? In a world that chants self-reliance and seeks power in numbers, we are invited to look beyond ourselves to a source that is beyond human reach.
The psalmist asks us to consider a truth that has quieted storms and steadied souls for ages: our strength does not originate with us, but with the God who fights for His people.
Psalm 46, in particular, anchors this message: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble
(Psalm 46:1, NIV). When fear rises, when the indicators shout danger, when the night seems long, we can turn to the One who holds both the universe and our next breath.
Let us open our hearts to the enduring source of strength and discover a fearless life grounded in divine assurance.

Three-Point Outline:
1) God is our sanctuary in trouble (Psalm 46:1-3, NIV)
- Key idea: The Lord is a refuge, not simply a metaphor but a present, tangible help in time of trouble.
- Supporting verses: Psalm 46:1-2 reminds us that God is our fortress; even if mountains crumble and waters roar, we need not fear because He is with us (NIV).
Isaiah 41:10 echoes this assurance: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
” When fear threatens to overwhelm, Scripture invites us to fix our eyes on the One who stands with us in the storm.

2) The strength that comes from a divine source (Psalm 46:4-5, NIV)
- Key idea: Strength is not manufactured by us but supplied by the one who dwells with His people.
- Supporting verses: Psalm 28:7 proclaims, “The Lord is my strength and my shield,”
a sentiment echoed in Nehemiah 8:10, “The joy of the Lord is your strength.”
In John 15:5, Jesus says, “Apart from me you can do nothing.” When the rivers roar and the earth shakes, we remain steady because the City of God is within reach, a source of unshakable power.

3) Courage grows as we trust the Lord’s sovereignty (Psalm 46:6-7, NIV)
- Key idea: Fear loses its grip when we acknowledge God’s governance over all things.

- Supporting verses: Romans 8:28 reminds us that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.
2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
A fearless life emerges when we rest in the truth that God governs history, meets our needs, and stands with us in every crisis.

Application and Reflection:
- When fear comes, repeat the anchor truth: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble
(Psalm 46:1, NIV).

- Practice spiritual posture: pause, pray, and choose to trust God’s sovereignty rather than the rumor of danger.
Meditate on verses that affirm His presence and power—
Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God”—and remind yourself that stillness is often the doorway to brave action.
- Cultivate fearlessness through corporate memory:
gather with God’s people, recount His faithfulness, and rehearse His promises in community,
which strengthens belief and courage for the days ahead.

Conclusion:
There is a source beyond human reach and resource.
The God of Israel, the Son who conquered sin, and the Spirit who dwells within believers are the wellspring of true strength.
When we face storms, we do not stand alone; we stand with the One who spoke and the world was created, who calmed the sea, and who walks with us in the valley.
Psalm 46 invites us to a fearless posture: to know that God is with us, to trust His protection, and to live with courage because our strength comes from Him.

Benediction:
May the Lord bless you with the sure knowledge that He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
May His presence quiet your fears, empower your steps, and fill you with unwavering courage as you go into the days ahead. Amen.

Closing Prayer:
Gracious God jesus holy spirit in whom we live and move and have our being, we thank You for the gift of strength that comes from beyond ourselves.
Help us to lean into Your sanctuary when fear arises, to draw sustenance from Your presence, and to trust Your sovereignty over all things.
Let the truth of Psalm 46—“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble”—be the rhythm of our lives. Quiet our anxious thoughts, renew our hope,
and embolden us to act with courage and compassion. May we encounter Your peace that passes understanding and walk in the confidence that You are with us always. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Zechariah 14:12.In this verse, the prophet describes a plague where the flesh of those fighting against Jerusalem will literally rot and dissolve while they are still standing on their feet:

Have You Prayed About It?

You can’t *control what anyone else

Proverbs 6:16-17 These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, (All too easily we can become guilty of killing someone's good name. Or perhaps we accuse someone by mistake, having heard a false report & repeating what we think is true. What about spreading rumors & ruining someone's reputation by idle or evil talk? God hates such things. Our tongue is truly a force to be reckoned with. James 3:8 calls it an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. The psalmist David wrote, Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth, keep the door of my lips Ps.141:3. Our tongue also has great power for good. Solomon said, Pleasant words are as an honeycomb,sweet to the soul & health to the bones Pr.16:24. Paul wrote, Speak every man truth with his neighbor Eph.4:25. Let's us determine never to be false accusers or to hang anyone by mistake. Even if we know something bad about someone, we don't need to spread it abroad. My mother would often say, If you cannot say something good about someone, don't say anything. Titus 3:2 sets an especially high standard, Speak evil of no man. Assassinating with words comes from the same spirit as assassinating with weapons. 🕊♥️🕊)

We gather today under the banner of a title that speaks to a life surrendered:
Queen of Obedience.
In the book of Esther, a quiet woman steps into a defining moment not by haste or impulse, but by trust in a God who works in the gaps of human timing.

The name Queen of Obedience invites us to ponder how waiting on God’s timing is itself an act of faithful service.

As we study Esther 4 and 5, we will see how courageous obedience unfolds in the patience of prayer, the alignment of purpose, and the courage to act when the moment comes.

Scripture reads to guide us: Esther 4:14 (NIV), Esther 4:16 (NIV), Esther 5:2 (NIV).
And others to illuminate the path: Psalm 27:14 (NIV), Isaiah 40:31 (NIV), Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV), James 5:7-8 (NIV).

Three-Point Outline

1) Waiting is not passive; it is active trust in God’s timing.
- Esther’s first response to Mordecai’s charge is not a quick fix.

She asks for communal fasting and prayer (Esther 4:16). Waiting, for her, is prayerful preparation, a choice to center God’s will above personal fear.
- Scripture anchors this as a spiritual discipline: “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14, NIV).

- Application:
If we find ourselves in a delaying season, we are invited to a posture of trust, not paralysis.
Waiting on God’s timing is an exercise of faith, knowing He sees what we do not.

2) Aligning purpose with God’s plan transforms hesitation into decisive, God-honoring action.
- Esther recognizes her pivotal role: “If I perish, I perish”
(Esther 4:16).

Her statement does not mean fatalism; it means she trusts the purpose God has placed within her circumstances.
- She moves from petition to plan: inviting the king to a banquet (Esther 5:4-5) and then using the moment to plead for her people (Esther 5:3-8).

- Scripture supports this alignment: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6, NIV).

- Application: When your season of waiting arrives, seek God’s purpose in the moment.
Courage often arrives wearing the garment of obedience and strategic action.

3) Courage to act comes when heaven’s timing and earthly obedience converge.
- Esther steps into the inner court to approach the king, risking her life for a higher purpose (Esther 5:1-2).
Her courage is not reckless; it is faith-led risk anchored in divine providence.
- The sequence shows divine timing:
preparation (fasting), purpose (the plan), and action
(her approach) all converge as she moves forward.

- Scripture encourages this courageous living: “Be patient, therefore, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming.
See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for it to receive the early and the late rains”
(James 5:7-8, NIV).

- Application:
When the moment to act arrives, respond in faith.
God can use your obedience in the exact moment He has prepared for you.

Conclusion

Esther’s story invites us to see obedience as a crowned posture—being ready to wait, ready to act, ready to trust
the purposes of God in the larger narrative.

The Queen of Obedience is not merely a title for Esther;
it is a pattern for every believer who believes that God’s timing is perfect, that His plans prevail, and that our steps are ordered by a wise and loving King.
In waiting, we discover depth of character; in aligning with God’s plan, we discover clarity of purpose; in acting at the right moment, we discover the power of faith in action.

Benediction

the Lord bless you with patient trust in His timing.
May He grant you courage to act when He gives you a moment to step forward.
And may you, like Esther, find your life woven into God’s redemptive story, for His glory and the good of His people.
Go in peace, to live in obedience, to wait with faith, and to act with love.

Closing Prayer

Father, we thank You for the example of Esther, a woman who embodies obedience in its quiet and its bold forms. Teach us to wait on Your timing without wavering, to seek Your purpose in every season, and to act with courage when You call us into the light. Help us to fast and pray, to discern Your will, and to trust You with the outcomes. May our lives be a proclamation that obedience to You is the path to true freedom and blessing. Stand with us as we walk forward in faith, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Connected,forgiven,crucified.now grace walker

Introduction
Beloved, today we gather to remember the Lord’s Supper and to anchor our souls in the sacred rhythm of being connected to Christ Jesus. In the hush of the elements, we pause to consider what it means to be intertwined with the Savior who gave Himself for us. Our focus is simple yet transformative: to stay connected to Christ Jesus in all things. As we lean into His words and His work, may the Spirit weld our hearts to His so that our lives become a walking grace that others can see.

Verse core to this gathering: “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (Matthew 26:28, NIV). And to grasp the source of our strength, we anchor in the life that is ours by faith: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20, NIV). From these anchors, we journey toward a life that is joined to Jesus in every moment.

Outline
1) Connected to the Covenant—The blood that binds
- Matthew 26:28 speaks plainly of a blood covenant made for many, for the forgiveness of sins. In the bite of the bread and the pour of the cup, we are reminded that our relationship with God is not earned by our efforts but established by His grace. When we partake, we declare our belonging to the One who has reconciled us to the Father.
- We live in a world of shifting loyalties, yet the cross holds us fast. The covenant makes us new: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1, NIV). Our connectedness to Christ is not a momentary feeling but a daily, deliberate trust in the One who paid the price.

2) Forgiven and Free—Identity in His forgiveness
- Galatians 2:20 invites us into the radical truth that life is no longer our own; Christ lives in us. This is an invitation to a daily surrender: allowing His life to spill into our choices, our words, and our love.
- As we practice communion, we rehearse forgiveness: we forgive others as we are forgiven, we extend grace as we have received it. The forgiveness purchased at the table becomes the motive and dignity of our living—connected, forgiven, and empowered to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4, NIV).

3) Crucified and Living—From the cross to daily breath
- The phrase “crucified” points to death to the old self and the death of self-reliant living. Yet the message does not end with death; it culminates in life—“Christ lives in me.” Our participation in communion is a pledge that undergirds every decision: am I living by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me (Galatians 2:20; John 3:16, NIV)?
- In practical terms, being connected to Christ means obedience that flows from love: prayer that seeks Him first, Scripture that shapes the mind, service that pronounces grace, and community that bears one another’s burdens (Philippians 2:5-8, NIV; Hebrews 10:24-25, NIV).

Conclusion
Today, as we hold the bread and cup, let us recommit to the simple, radical truth: we are connected to Christ Jesus in all of life. The covenant binds us; forgiveness frees us; and the crucified, risen One now lives in us. May our days be marked by a walking grace—Connected, forgiven, crucified, now grace walker. Let the life of Jesus be seen in our patience, our mercy, and our courage as we move through the week.

Benediction
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. (Jude 1:24-25, NIV)

Closing Prayer
Gracious Father, we thank You for the gift of communion, the tangible reminder that we are bound to Christ as one body. Help us to live as those who are connected to Jesus in every moment: in service, in sorrow, in abundance, and in striving. Let Your Spirit continually renew our minds, strengthen our faith, and empower our steps to reflect Your grace. May this week be a journey of being connected, forgiven, crucified, and walking in Your now-grace. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
