Keys of the Kingdom - Suffering

In this powerful message, we're called to embrace suffering as a vital part of our Christian journey. The story of Esther takes center stage, reminding us that God often places us in challenging situations 'for such a time as this.' We're encouraged to look beyond our comfort and safety, just as Esther did when she risked her life to save her people. This narrative challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we willing to step out in faith, even when it's uncomfortable or dangerous? The message emphasizes that true revival and societal transformation begin with personal repentance and a willingness to suffer for Christ. We're urged to contend for holiness, purity, and a deeper communion with Jesus, understanding that this path may cost us in terms of time, relationships, and worldly comforts. As we embrace this journey, we're promised that God will perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle us through our trials, ultimately revealing His glory through our lives.
