Weekend in the Word - The Book of Esther part 3

Join us for Weekend in the Word, a three-part series where Pastor Alan guides us through the book of Esther—one of the most unique stories in Scripture, reminding us that even when God’s name isn’t mentioned, His hand is still at work. Through Esther’s courage, Mordecai’s faithfulness, and a series of “coincidences” that are anything but random, we’re reminded that God is always present, even when He seems silent. In seasons where we don’t see or hear Him clearly, He is still moving behind the scenes, orchestrating His purposes for His people. This series challenges us to trust God’s providence, step forward in obedience when it matters most, and recognize that we may be placed “for such a time as this.” Join us as we look at how God works through ordinary people and unexpected circumstances to accomplish His perfect plan. 4/18/26

Zechariah 1:1-6

A Call to Return to the Lord1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, saying, 2 “The Lord was very angry with your fathers. 3 Therefore say to them, Thus declares the Lord of hosts: Return to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. 4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.’ But they did not hear or pay attention to me, declares the Lord. 5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever? 6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? So they repented and said, ‘As the Lord of hosts purposed to deal with us for our ways and deeds, so has he dealt with us.’”
