Rooted Hope: A Hidden God Is Not a Hiding God

This week in the Rooted Hope series, we explore the Book of Esther, where God's name is never mentioned yet His hand is everywhere. Jamie Van Dyke walked us through how the Jewish people faced annihilation in Persia, preparing for Passover one moment and receiving a death decree the next. The message revealed how Mordecai and Esther acted with courage before they had clarity, trusting God even when they couldn't see Him working. When we feel like God is hiding from us, we create false narratives about what He's doing or not doing. Rooted hope takes shape when we understand that a hidden God is not a hiding God, and we learn to remember His past faithfulness, lean on community, and practice small acts of obedience that build the courage we need for bigger moments.
