Esther 4:12-17; Psalm 86:11

The One Thing

Know whose you are. Know why you are.

Growgroup questions

Know

• K1 As we’ve journeyed through Esther together, what is one thing that you feel God has been saying to you?

Grow

• G1 The “one thing” for today is “Know whose you are. Know why you are”. Why is so vital to discover whose you are before knowing why you are?
• G2 Compare Esther’s words in 4:11 with Esther’s words in 4:16. Look at what she says and how she says it. What has changed? What was it that Mordecai said that brought about such a transformation?
• G3 Why is it so much easier to accept the status quo than it is to be an agent of change? What are the ways that Christians can get activated for God’s work?
• G4 In verse 14 Mordecai could have said “I know that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this”. Why is it key that instead he said “who knows”?
• G5 What do you think of our decision as a church to keep the building closed to large gatherings until Dec 1st at the earliest (unless something major changes)? What do you think about the vision of Church 414? How can Esther 4:14 speak to us a church in this time?

Show

• S1 Go back over your life and notice the circumstances or coincidences that have led you to where you are now. And ask God “could it be that I have come to this position (this place, this time) for such a time as this?” Listen to what He says to you.
• S2 Pray for wisdom for the leadership of Cornerstone, and for the people of Cornerstone as we take the step of faith of Church 414. Ask God how He wants you to be involved.
