Fulfilled | Esther Hyland {S9 E3}
On today’s episode of “Fulfilled,” guest Esther Hyland joins our host, Bethany Sibbitt, to discuss the prophecy of the willing sacrifice found in Isaiah 53. Be encouraged by the hope and assurance we have in Christ, and the magnitude of God’s love for His people displayed by Jesus. It is our prayer that His fulfillment of this prophecy as the Suffering Servant will build up your faith and cause you to sense the deep love of our Father-- especially during this difficult season.
Esther wants to live in a world where the Church meets needs so radically that programs like foster care or food stamps are no longer necessary. When she is not mothering her bio and foster children or leading worship through song, you can find her performing in one of Dayton’s theatre companies, where she seeks to bring the gospel to the local arts community. Esther’s favorite ways to recharge are enjoying good books and taking long walks out in nature. Her favorite books of this year so far include “None Like Him: 10 Ways God is Different From Us and Why That’s a Good Thing” by Jen Wilkin and “You Are The Girl For The Job” by Jess Connolly.
One of Esther’s favorite Bible passages is 2 Corinthians 12:9-10: “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
