You, friend, were made for this moment. 

Are you weary? Do you feel outnumbered by foes, outmaneuvered by fate, and outdone by fear? If so, the book of Esther brings welcome news: Relief will come!

Esther's is a story that reaches out of the past to our present circumstances with a singular message: God is present, and he will act. It's a story that demands from us a singular response: what will we do when he does? 

Join Max Lucado in You Were Made for This Moment, a five session video Bible study through the book of Esther. Together, we'll be reminded that God need not be loud to be strong, he need not cast a shadow to be present... and he is active even when he appears distant.

"Perhaps you were born for such a time as this." - Esther 4:14

Hi Friends,

I know we’re facing some tough times. We're weary from our challenges, worn down by our fears, and worried that we'll never find relief.

If you're feeling this way, I have an encouraging message. Relief will come. It will.

Like Esther, you may be staring down a seemingly impossible situation. And what's true for Esther is true for you:

Deliverance will come. God will have his victory. He will rescue his people. He will right the wrongs of this world.

The question is not, Will God prevail?  The question is, Will you be part of the team?

You, like Esther, can act in a way that will bless more people than you could imagine.

This is your hour. This is your moment.

Your challenge is an opportunity to join God in His work.

You don't need to become undone by tough times. You can become unleashed by our triumphant god.

You, my friend, were made for this moment.

~ Max Lucado
