Hello New Life!
Below is an order for in-home worship for this Sunday, February 28.
If you start your in-home service at 9:30 am, you'll be synchronized and you'll be able to stream the sermon just as it starts going live (at about 9:45 am). Don't worry if you miss the live-stream; a recording of the sermon will be available on our sermons page by Sunday afternoon.
And here are this week's sermon-based questions for kids (If you'd rather not print, the same questions are listed at the bottom of this blog post, as well):

Discussion Questions for Kids
1. Kids are famous for doing risky things, like jumping off playground structures. What is one risky thing you have done?
2. In today's story, what risky thing did Esther do? Why was it risky?
3. Luke 6:31 says, "Do to others as you would have them do to you." Haman planned to do evil against Mordecai, but it was done to him instead. How does this encourage you to always do good to others instead of evil?
4. What good thing has Jesus done for you? In what ways can you "risk" telling your neighbors and friends about how Jesus rescued you?
