Send us a textChatGPT said:In this episode of the Village Church sermon podcast, Pastor Daniel brings the story of Esther to its close. He draws our attention to the powerful theme of reversal and Esther's bold decision to speak on behalf of her people. As the narrative concludes, Daniel asks us to consider where we hand over authority in our own lives—and how we might use the influence we carry to serve others and make the Gospel visible.Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.

Send us a text In this sermon, Rod Hugan reflects on Esther 5–6, focusing on the contrast between Haman's pride and Mordecai's quiet humility. Through storytelling, personal reflection, and biblical insight, Rod explores how pride distorts our view of honor and how true humility allows us to return to the gates—to serve, to wait, and to trust God's quiet work in the shadows. A thoughtful invitation to examine whose approval we seek and what kind of character we're cultivating.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Village Church podcast, Pastor Mark carries us further into the Eastertide series, guiding us into the rising storm of Esther chapter 3. The story tightens. What once seemed like palace intrigue now begins to expose something far more urgent, far more familiar—the clash between pride and faithfulness, fear and courage, self-preservation and quiet trust.Here, Mark introduces us to two unforgettable figures: Mordecai, the man of conviction, whose refusal to bow sparks the fury of empire; and Haman, the embodiment of ego, whose power is as fragile as his pride is inflated. The story doesn't resolve quickly, nor does it offer easy answers. Instead, Pastor Mark invites us to remain with the tension—to recognize that this is the world we live in. A world where injustice often goes unchecked, where the faithful are misunderstood, and where God's hand is hidden—but never absent.Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message.

Send us a text In this episode of the Village Church sermon podcast, Pastor Eric opens our Eastertide journey with the story of Esther—a story often tucked between grander tales, yet brimming with quiet, unsettling brilliance. From the start, he reminds us that Esther was written not as a fairy tale of triumph but as a mirror held up to those living in exile. This isn't a tale of fire from heaven or seas splitting open. No—this is a story for those who feel the silence of God, who wait in the shadows, and who wonder whether faithfulness still matters when God seems to be hiding. Esther whispers what we often forget: deliverance may come not in spectacle, but in subtlety. Not with fanfare, but with faith.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 23 minutesSynopsis: Tonight (3/6/25), in lieu of our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we continued learning the Ralbag's toalos ("beneficial lessons") on Megilas Esther, picking up were we left off last year, at the beginning of Chapter 6. Unlike last year, in which we JUST read the Ralbag, we decided to read and discuss the pesukim this year before learning the toeles. This resulted in a slower pace, but (I hope!) a richer learning experience. We only got through five toalos, but we delved into them deeper than we did last year, and came away with some really sharp insights into the Megilah and some nice practical applications.-----מקורות:Neima Novetsky's translation of Megillas Esther on AlHaTorah.orgרלב"ג - אסתר פרק ו, תועלות ל"ה-מרד"ק - תהלים קטז:ידרש"י - אסתר ו:טErica Brown, "Esther: Power, Fate, and Fragility in Exile"-----The Torah content for this week has been sponsored by Rifka Kaplan-Peck in tribute to the Bibas family.

Part two of our sermon series "Esther" with Pastor Matt Porter
Haman's plan to kill all of the Jews is made into law, and no one - not even the king can stop him. As Haman's pride swells, Esther is certain that God's plan for her life is “for such a time as this.” God uses Esther in a mighty way and shows His sovereignty, in a thrilling conclusion that is celebrated by Jews even today.
Esther's friends beg her to consider competing to become queen. If she doesn't, they say, the wicked Mahnoosh may win the crown and all of the girls in the harem will suffer. Esther realizes that God may have placed her in the palace for this very reason. But God's plan for Esther extends far beyond reigning beside the king. When Esther learns that the evil prince, Haman is plotting to kill Mordecai and all of the Jews, she must decide if she will risk her own life to save her people.
C.J. and Staci discover one of Mr. Collins' cylinders that tells the amazing Bible story of Esther, a beautiful, young Jewish girl who God used to accomplish extraordinary things. In part one of the story, Esther is kidnapped and forced to compete in a contest to become the next queen. Realizing she might have to spend the rest of her life in the palace separated from her family and friends, Esther wonders in despair if God has forgotten about her.
