What Comes Around Goes Around
November 14, 2021
Hello Kingdom Family,
Welcome to our new message series on the Book of Esther. We will be unpacking the entire Book of Esther. The lectionary, most churches, and most teachers focus on chapters seven through nine, but we will discover what the book as a whole of Esther has to teach us.
Today’s message is centered on where our allegiance is centered. Does our allegiance lie with the World or with the Kingdom of God? Our actions validate where our loyalty and commitment reside. In our message today, we unpack Esther Chapter 6:14-7:10. We discover what is meant by the phrase “What Comes Around Goes Around.”
Thank you for supporting Hill-Tran Ministries.
If you have questions about today’s service, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
Shalom,
Team Hill-Tran

Today’s message for Sunday, July 5, 2020, is titled “A Special Kind of Freedom.” In our message today, Pastor Harold unpacks Matthew 11:16-19; 25-30 and helps us understand the difference between the “world system” versus “The Kingdom of God.” The principalities and powers of this world influence our lives to the point of delusion, where we believe we are in full control of our lives. Human beings tend to reject God because they wish to play God themselves and rule their own lives. This lust and quest to do what we want, how we want, and when we want, has been in existence since “the fall of humankind” in the Garden of Eden. If we are honest with ourselves, when we look back at our lives as individuals, as America and the world, we see where we made decisions based on self, which later put us in a position to be hurt. To become genuinely free can only happen when we put our will in line with God.
