In a Sleepless Night

The Hiddenness of God

April 14, 2024 • Rich Millhouse • Esther 6

The sermon explores how a sleepless night for King Ahasuerus leads to a providential turn of events. Unable to sleep, the king orders the chronicles to be read, stumbling upon Mordecai's past deed of saving his life. This sets the stage for a series of ironies and reversals, culminating in Haman inadvertently honoring Mordecai instead of seeking his demise. Through this narrative, the sermon highlights God's hidden providence working through ordinary events to achieve extraordinary outcomes.
