The Last Stand, Esther 2:19-3:15

As we enter our third week in the Book of Esther we'll start to get a better picture of God at work.  As Pastor Dave opens God's Word to us in Esther Chapter 3, we see that Haman's resentment grew into bitterness.  He became embittered not only with Mordecai but toward all those of Jewish descent.  However, in the life of a Christian, bitterness destroys our intimacy with the Lord. The Bible teaches that bitterness is a sin (Eph. 4:31, Heb. 12:15). Unconfessed sin blocks our access to the Father and becomes a hindrance to our prayers (Isa. 1:11-16). There is much more to the story than bitterness.  We invite you to listen to hear the rest.
