180 Life Church

In this message, Pastor Josh walks through Esther 3 and shows how purpose often becomes clearest when obedience starts costing something. As Haman’s hatred turns into a devastating decree, we see the danger of pride, misplaced trust, and becoming numb to evil. But even in the darkest moments, God’s providence is at work—calling His people to endure, stand firm in truth, and live with bold purpose.

The Trade show art The Trade

180 Life Church

We live in a world that constantly invites us to bow—to pressure, power, comfort, or approval—promising purpose if we comply. In the story of Esther, we see that real purpose isn’t found in outcomes, recognition, or position, but in faithful obedience to God in the moment we’re in. This message explores what it looks like to live with conviction under pressure and why following God’s direction matters more than chasing a destination. Discover how refusing to trade purpose for convenience can shape a life of deep, lasting faith.

180 Life Church

What if your greatest God-given purpose isn’t found in a big, defining moment — but in the quiet, ordinary Tuesdays of life? In this message from Esther 2, Pastor Josh shows how God’s providence is still at work even when His name isn’t visible, and how the lives of Mordecai and Esther illustrate that purpose is formed through daily faithfulness and preparation. Rather than chasing significance or waiting for a breakthrough, we’re called to submit to God where we already are and train as disciples for the good works He’s placed in front of us.

180 Life Church

What’s your purpose in life? This is a big question and something we’re going to consider over the next few weeks. We are kicking off a new series on the Book of Esther in the Bible. In this first part we’re going to see a King who thinks his purpose is to show off his power, his wealth, and his wife. He holds big parties and is surrounded with people who enable and influence him and none of them have any respect for women. Not surprisingly, his wife has other thoughts. All of this is going to clash, and we’re going to learn from the King’s mistakes. We will see that God builds us...

When we think of advent, our mind probably turns to the lead up to Christmas and the coming of Jesus, but this is not the only advent; Jesus will return. In this message, we look at this second-coming by focusing on Revelation Chapter 21. We will see that for those of us who have accepted Jesus in our hearts and walk with Him – in between His first advent and His second advent – we’re experiencing all of the things that God has for us. We will see some practical things we can do in 2026 that will allow us to live the life that God wants us to live and we will see how this can fill us...

Living A Promised Life show art Living A Promised Life

180 Life Church

At the end of his life, Joshua has some words of wisdom for the Israelites, now that they are in the Promised Land. We see this in the last two chapters of the Book of Joshua. He tells them that while the big things are done, there is still work to do and that they need to stick to their values and objectives. The same is true for us today – we live in the “now” and the “not yet.” We have been redeemed through Jesus, but we need to stand firm in the faith, and continue to take ground for the Kingdom. We need to live a promised life.

We all get shaken up in life from time to time, but how do we avoid getting derailed when it happens? We will find the answer by looking back at the early church. In Acts Chapter 4, we see that Peter and John face opposition from the Temple Leaders. They recognize that God is the ultimate judge, they speak of what they have seen and heard, and they get around other Jesus followers. By doing these things, they are able to handle the pressure of the situation and although they were shaken, they were not stirred. If we do the same, and we anchor our faith in Jesus, we too can weather the storms of life and can be a witness for Him.
