The God Who Is In Control | Esther 2:19-3:15

Sermon Audio and Transcript

Sermon Summary

Mordecai’s faithfulness looked forgotten, Haman’s evil looked unstoppable, and a roll of the dice set a death date—yet “the lot is cast… but its every decision is from the Lord” (Prov. 16:33). God records what others overlook, restrains what evil intends, and turns delays into deliverance. So don’t quit doing what’s right; in Christ, “all things work together for good” (Rom. 8:28). When life feels out of control, trust the God who’s always in control.

Key Takeaways

• Evil can sit on earthly thrones, but even the king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand.

• Providence: God’s purposeful sovereignty directs details and timing.

• Delays create space for deliverance; trust God’s timing.

• Keep doing good; God tracks sowing and reaping (Gal. 6:7).
