Mission Verse
"Who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" – Esther 4:14
Meet Esther
Esther was queen, but she still felt afraid.
Her people were in danger.
Mordecai told her she might be the one who could help.
Esther had to speak to the king, but going to him without being called was dangerous.
She did not rush in pretending she was not scared.
She asked people to fast and pray.
Then Esther put on her royal robes and stepped forward.
Her courage helped save many people.
Courage means speaking up to help, even when your voice shakes.
Hero Skill: Speak Up
Some brave moments are not loud.
Sometimes courage is telling the truth, asking for help, or standing beside someone who is being treated badly.
Esther teaches kids that one voice can matter.
Your Mission Today: The Brave Crown
You will make a small crown reminder and practise one brave sentence.
What You Need
- Paper crown or paper strip
- A pencil
- A quiet place
Step 1: Make The Crown
Write “For Such A Time” on the paper crown or strip.
Step 2: Name The Moment
Think of one place where someone may need help or truth.
- A friend being left out
- A wrong choice
- Someone needing an adult
- A time to say sorry
Step 3: Practise The Brave Sentence
Say one brave sentence out loud.
- Please stop.
- I need help.
- That is not kind.
- I am sorry.
- Can we include them?
Talk About It
Ages 6-8: What made Esther afraid?
Ages 9-10: Why did Esther ask people to pray before she acted?
Ages 11-12: How can you tell the difference between being bossy and speaking up with courage?
Courage Practice For This Week
Keep the crown somewhere visible.
When a brave moment comes, choose one honest sentence.
You do not need a loud voice to be brave.
Parent Note
Esther helps children see that courage can be prepared and wise.
This is a good place to teach children when to involve an adult.
The goal is not pressure to fix everything. It is helping them recognise one brave next step.
Mission Prayer
God,
help me be brave like Esther.
Show me when to speak up.
Give me wise words and a kind heart.
Help me ask for help when I need it.
Amen.
