Esther 9 & 10: The Great Reversal

The ministry of our testimony is marked by:

What we repent for and what God reverses (9:1-10)
God can reverse anything! (God redeems and restores and over-abundantly blesses.)
● You don’t have to live by the law of the Medes and the Persians. (vs. 5-6) ● You don’t have to die with your family.
● Repentance is both a decision and a process. Reversal is a moment and a lifetime.

What we ask for and what we do not take (9:11-16)
● Just because something is legal doesn’t mean that it is ethical.

What we remember and how we celebrate (9:17-10:10:3)
● Remember & celebrate:
○ Advent
○ Resurrection Sunday
○ Repentance in Life
■ Salvation
■ Baptism
■ Lord’s Supper
○ Reversals in Life
○ Anniversaries of Service

What we remember and celebrate - Is it Ritual or routine?
