Here are a few discussion questions to get started. There are no right or wrong answers. Just share what you think, and then work your way down the page learning together!

• What is your favorite sport to watch? What about to play? Are they the same or different? Why or why not?
• Have you ever needed to get saved from a bad situation? What happened?
• What super hero would you choose to be and why?
• If you could fix one thing about the world that is wrong, what would you fix? (Funny or serious is OK)
• When do you feel most confident? What about least confident?

Things didn't go well for Haman! He really didn't like Mordecai, but God's favor was on Queen Esther's cousin (and adoptive dad) and no matter how the evil Haman plotted, God continued to bless Esther's family.

Luke is keeping a video blog about what he’s learning. Lately, God’s been challenging him to work on his character. He tells stories about some of the ways he’s had to work on his character. He is learning that character is who you are when no one is looking.
Proverbs 22:1 Being respected is more important than having great riches. To be well thought of is better than owning silver or gold.

Because of God’s PROMISE I can be CONFIDENT!
Esther was able to be confident because she trusted in the promises of God!
READ: Luke 1:45

Often the Israelites found themselves in tough times. Many times, it was because they had disobeyed God and strayed from Him, but even then, God remained faithful to them.
READ: Joshua 21:45

God keeps His promises, even when we don’t keep ours. That is because GOD IS GOOD. One of those promises was to send a Savior.
READ: Romans 5:8 

Even when we were still sinners, God loved us, and sent us a savior. That’s why we can be confident that God will come through for us and help us no matter what. Even when we mess up or fail or fall short, we can always turn back to God and claim His promise of forgiveness.
READ: 2 Corinthians 1:20

HAVE YOU SAID YES TO GOD by accepting Jesus as your Savior? If you want to have the certainty, the courage, the calm, and the confidence of Esther – it all starts with accepting Jesus as your Savior.
God put Esther into the throne room of the king for a mission. Once you are a follower of Jesus, He PUTS YOU RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE on a mission for Him too!
THINK ABOUT IT: God doesn’t want to send you on a mission for Him – you ALREADY ARE on a mission for Him. Right where you ARE is where God wants you to be, so you can represent Him. You don’t need to go undercover for God, you are already on assignment for Him. He already knows what’s going to happen, and He has already sent you ahead, so you’ll be there to help people find God when they need Him! That’s pretty amazing if you think about it!
That's why we can say Because of God’s PROMISE I can be CONFIDENT.

And that is why because of God's PLAN, I can be CERTAIN!
