Esther 5

The sermon explores the unfolding drama in the book of Esther, highlighting God's providential work amidst a seemingly godless empire. It examines Haman's escalating hatred for Mordecai, fueled by a desire for power and recognition, ultimately leading him to plot the extermination of all Jews. The narrative underscores the precarious position of Esther, hesitant yet prompted to intercede for her people, and emphasizes the importance of faith and trust in God's promises, even when divine intervention is not immediately apparent, culminating in Haman's scheme to build a gallows to eliminate Mordecai and secure his own gratification.
