Every one of us has faced moments when God seems silent.
You pray, but nothing changes.
You wait, but no answers come.
You look for God’s hand, but all you see are circumstances, coincidences, and unanswered questions.
Where is God when He seems hidden?
Beginning April 26, we’re starting a new 6-week message series called: “THE HIDDEN HAND OF GOD: A Study of Esther.”
The book of Esther is unlike any other book in the Bible. God’s name is never mentioned, not once. There are no miracles on display. No burning bushes. No parted seas. No audible voice from heaven.
And yet…God is everywhere.
Behind royal decisions. Within unexpected timing. Through ordinary people placed in extraordinary moments. His fingerprints are on every page.
This series will help you see that even when God feels absent, He is actively at work—guiding, positioning, and accomplishing His purposes in ways we often don’t recognize in the moment.
Each week, we’ll uncover a different aspect of God’s hidden work:
- 4/26/26 – #1 The God Who Works Behind the Scenes – Esther 1:1–2:23
- 5/3/26 – #2 The God Who Calls Us to Courage – Esther 3:1–4:17
- 5/10/26 – #3 The God Who Disturbs Our Sleep – Esther 5:1–6:13
- 5/17/26 – #4 The God Who Turns Things Around – Esther 6:14–7:10
- 5/24/26 – #5 The God Who Delivers From Death – Esther 8:1–9:19
- 5/31/26 – #6 The God Who Turns Sorrow into Joy – Esther 9:20–10:3
This isn’t just an ancient story about kings and queens—it’s a powerful reminder for us today. Because most of life doesn’t feel miraculous. It feels ordinary, uncertain, and sometimes even chaotic.
But Esther shows us something we desperately need to remember:
God is working…even when you can’t see Him.
He is arranging circumstances.
He is positioning people.
He is preparing deliverance.
And He often does His greatest work behind the scenes.
We’ll begin with Esther 1–2: “The God Who Works Behind the Scenes.” In this opening message, we’ll see how God is already at work through unexpected events and unlikely people, setting the stage for something far greater than anyone can see at the time.
