Fickle Men, Sovereign God [Esther 2:1-22]

Sermon Notes

Date: 09/27/2026

Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor

Series: Esther

Key Text: Esther 2:1-12

Description:

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Josh Peglow returns to the book of Esther —

where changing minds,
shifting plans,
and human weakness
keep moving the story forward.

King Ahasuerus reverses course.
His counselors offer another solution.
Esther is drawn into the machinery
of the Persian court.

But while men change,
God does not.

His purposes do not shift.
His faithfulness does not fail.
And His sovereign hand
is never absent from the story.

Because though men are fickle
and earthly rule arbitrary,

God remains sovereign —
and faithful to His people.

Sermon Notes

Date: 05/01/2011

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Esther 4:14

Description: The Book of Esther teaches the providence of God.   God saw beforehand what the people would do and even though they were out of the will of God by not going back to their homeland, they were not beyond His care. Providence involves God providing, directing, and leading people who sometimes do not want to be led. The infinite wisdom, continuing providence, and overwhelming power of God in the preservation of His people in fulfilling His covenant with them is displayed beautiful in this book. Even the most insignificant events and ordinary happenings of the world with its rulers and subjects are appointed and directed by God to affect His purposes.
