3 OF THE WORLD’S BIGGEST MISTAKES






ESTHER 3



Pastor Rick Jackson



I. THINKING CHARACTER IS NOT IMPORTANT [3:1-5]

“It’s nice to be important. It’s more important to be nice.”

1. As Shown by Ignorance of Biblical Truth [v. 1-3]

2. As Shown by Arrogance towards Bible Followers [v. 4]

3. As Shown by Intolerance towards Biblical Values [v. 5]



II. THINKING JEWS ARE NOT IMPORTANT [3:6-9]



1.  A Disregard for God’s Promises [v. 6, Gn. 12:1-3, Gal. 3:6-18

2. A Disregard for God’s Prophets [v. 7, Rm. 3:1-3, 9]

3.  A Disregard for God’s People [v. 8-9, Rm. 9:3-5]



III. THINKING THEY ARE IN CHARGE



1. Displayed by His Gloating [3:6, 5:9-12]

2. Demonstrated by His Gallows [5:13-14]

3. Destroyed by His Guilt [6:11-14, 7:6-10]



Character is important, God’s people are important, recognizing God is Sovereign is important. PSALM 96
