This series: Faith in Real Life: Stories of Hope in a Messed-Up World
Each week, keep asking: What did this person discover about God in their mess that changes how we see Him today?
Main Ideas:
We want significant lives, but most of life seems so insignificant.
God created each of us on purpose for a purpose,
Faith redefines significance.
Sometimes God’s presence is most powerful in the silence.
Even when we feel lost or insignificant, God is at work behind the scenes.
It’s often in the very places that seem most ordinary that God works most powerfully.
Faith is trusting God with your ordinary and your unknown.
Faith redefines significance because with God, no act of love is wasted or unseen.
God is always orchestrating for our good behind the scenes.
Faith in real life makes every ordinary day significant.
Invitation:
Pray this every day this week: God, thank you for putting me right here right now. Show me my significance and show me my next step.
Discussion Questions:
- Why do you think we often struggle to see significance in everyday tasks and routines?
- How does Esther’s story challenge the way we define “important” or “significant” in life?
- God’s name isn’t mentioned in Esther—yet his presence is felt. Can you think of ways God might be at work in ways we don’t notice?
- What might it look like to live each day with the belief that God can use your ordinary life for extraordinary purposes?
- How can your group pray with you this week?
