What if God’s calling isn’t a clear command… but a maybe?

In this powerful and thought-provoking sermon, Pastor Luke Taylor unpacks the real story behind the famous verse in Esther 4:14 — and challenges the modern Christian obsession with certainty. This isn’t your usual message on Esther. It’s about how mature faith often begins in uncertainty, how God works behind the scenes, and how stepping out in trust—even without guarantees—can change everything.

Learn the truth behind the commonly misquoted verse:

“For such a time as this…” — and what Esther actually heard from Mordecai.

Topics Covered:

• The difference between certainty and faith

• What the Bible really says about Esther’s calling

• Misquoted scriptures Christians often believe

• Why God sometimes speaks in maybes instead of mandates

• How to take bold steps of faith without needing full clarity

• Lessons from Gideon, Moses, Shadrach, Mary, and more

Perfect for:

• Believers struggling with indecision or fear of failure

• Those looking for biblical courage to act in uncertain times

• Pastors and leaders teaching on purpose, trust, and calling

Have you ever felt spiritually dry—like the connection you once had with God is now just a memory?

He outlines 7 stages of spiritual drift, helping us recognise warning signs early and reclaim what we’ve lost.

Whether you’re burned out, disengaged, or simply missing the fire you once had for worship, this message offers hope, restoration, and a clear call to rekindle your spiritual rhythms.

Welcome to CHAT PLT with Pastor Luke Taylor! In this first episode, we tackle one of the biggest questions Christians wrestle with: “Is it once saved, always saved—or can salvation be lost?”The Bible gives us two truths that can feel like they clash: the security we have in Christ, and real warnings about falling away. In this episode, we’ll explore: • Our security in Christ – why John 10, Romans 8, Philippians 1, and Ephesians 1 remind us that salvation is God’s work, not ours. • The reality of warnings – passages like Hebrews 6, 10, and Revelation 3 remind us that deliberate rejection of Christ (apostasy) is possible. • Were they ever really saved? – why it’s not always simple, and what Scripture says about those who appear to turn away. • Practical takeaways – how to live with confidence in God’s grace while remaining faithful, and why worry about losing salvation is actually a good sign.Whether you lean Reformed, Wesleyan, or Pentecostal, the lived experience is the same: the call to trust Jesus and persevere is real. Pastor Luke unpacks Scripture carefully, addresses common misunderstandings, and offers a clear, pastoral perspective on this tension.Challenge for the week: Memorise Romans 8:38–39, speak it over yourself in times of doubt, and turn back to Jesus if you’ve drifted. His arms are still open!Scriptures referenced: John 10:27–29 | Romans 8:38–39 | Philippians 1:6 | Ephesians 1:13–14 | Hebrews 6:4–6 | 1 Corinthians 9:27 | Revelation 3:5 | Hebrews 10:26 | Matthew 7 | 1 John 2:19 | 2 Peter 1:10
