“As Mordecai reminded Esther that she was brought into the kingdom 'for such a time as this.'”
“Esther resolving to risk approaching the king, knowing obedience might cost her life.”
Pastor Johnteris Tate preaches from Nehemiah about God assigning work that's bigger than any one person — a call to shared responsibility, perseverance in the middle, and a resolved 'mind to work' so God's projects are completed by a committed people, not by personalities.
“Esther fasted and prayed and resolved to tell the whole truth to the king about being a Jew, which God used to save His people.”
Using Paul's defense before Festus and Agrippa (Acts 25–26), the sermon urges believers to boldly tell the whole truth of the gospel — in love and without compromise — because God protects those who speak truth, provides an audience, and ultimately vindicates the message.
“Mordecai's message to Esther: "Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house... And who is to tell whether or not thou art come into the kingdom for such a time as this?"”
Using Mark 2:1–12 (the paralytic lowered through the roof) the speaker argues that desperate times demand radical, action-oriented faith: believers must take risks to bring others to Jesus, prioritize spiritual healing over merely physical cures, and trust God’s sovereignty even in suffering.
“where the Lord would have us to be this morning for such a time as this.”
Pastor Jim Luisi preaches on Pentecost, emphasizing the Spirit's gift of adoption (Abba Father), God's intentional orchestration of events in believers' lives, and a call to expect transformational freedom and advance in faith through prayer, worship, and proclamation.
“you were here for such a time as this”
A preaching on God calling believers and the church to a higher level using Elijah's story as the model: avoid stagnation and disobedience, receive God's provision, arise and move forward, and embrace mentorship as the church advances.
“God's chosen you for such a time as this to lead the business...”
Pastor Nick Huerta preached Vision Sunday kickoff for a new series 'This Is Us,' calling the congregation to make Jesus their central message and to live as bold ambassadors of the gospel. Leadership updates were shared: Pastor Eddie will take a month of rest for recovery, and service times were reduced from three to two to protect staff and allow more space for the Holy Spirit, prayer, and fellowship. The sermon included a strong call to repentance, daily witness, and altar invitations for commitment and salvation.
“As Mordecai reminded Esther that she was brought into the kingdom 'for such a time as this.'”
Pastor Paul Owens declares that we are in an end-time season of global harvest and calls the church to prepare. He urges believers to become a revival remnant—bold, holy, and free from fear, offense, perversion and deception—so they can receive and disciple multitudes coming into the light. Practical emphasis is placed on prayer, strategic mission work, discipleship of new converts, and guarding the church against false narratives and spirits.

““Go, gather together all the Jews... and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day... and if I perish I perish.””
A Women's Sunday message themed 'Anchored, Anointed, and Assigned'—calling believers to anchor their faith in Christ, rely on the Spirit's anointing for restoration and ministry, and embrace their God-given assignments. The sermon used the Shunammite woman's faith (2 Kings), Isaiah 61's mission of comfort, Esther's courage, Titus 2's call to a peculiar people, and Malachi 3's teaching on tithing to urge holiness, evangelism, faithful stewardship, and active service.
“"I'm going to see the king, and if I perish, I perish."”
A multi‑speaker licensing service in which five new preachers preached brief sermons on trusting God in hardship, being kept by God, rejoicing through trials, standing against spiritual darkness, and serving the least of these. The event combined worship, prayer, commissioning, and practical calls to faith, endurance, spiritual authority, and compassionate ministry.
“if I perish I will indeed perish”
A worshipful Sunday service and message calling believers to trade personal agendas for God-given assignments — emphasizing surrender, obedience, stewardship, capacity, and community, with practical announcements and an invitation to respond.
“Esther fasted quietly before speaking boldly (Esther's three-day fast before approaching the king).”
Pastor Johnteris Tate preaches that the wilderness—or barren seasons—are God’s workshop: He strips false dependencies, builds disciplined obedience, and forges durable faith so people can rightly steward future blessings. The sermon calls the congregation to remember how God sustained them in hard seasons, trust daily dependence on Him, and grow in character before receiving abundance.
““Go, fast for me... I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.” (paraphrase)”
Using Mark 2:1–12 (the paralytic lowered through the roof) the speaker argues that desperate times demand radical, action-oriented faith: believers must take risks to bring others to Jesus, prioritize spiritual healing over merely physical cures, and trust God’s sovereignty even in suffering.
