The One the King Delights to Honor (Esther 6) GOOD NEWS in a DARK WORLD w/ Pastor KEVIN EFFLANDT

In this sermon:
(1) The Wisdom of Providence
When the king is unable to sleep, what does he decide to do?
How is this first part of Esther 6 a lesson on the Lord's providence?
How does the doctrine of God's providence help us as we deal with anxiety, worry, and fear?
(2) The Irony of Arrogance
How does Haman's answer to the king's question ("What should be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?") give us a window into his heart?
In what way could we call this a Psalm 2 moment?
(3) The Sting of Vengeance
How do Zeresh's words in verse 13 give us great hope and promise?
How does Mordecai point us to the work of Christ on our behalf?
