Pastor Evan Bialk continues our series through Esther with his message "God's Providential Reversal". Esther 6 serves as a turning point in Esther's story, through the providence of God and the faith and patience of Esther, the story begins to unfold on how God is going to save His people. It begins with a small reversal, where as Haman goes to ask to kill Mordecai, he is instead ordered to honor him, after the King experiences a sleepless night that changes everything. The reversal of the Jewish peoples fate in Persia mirrors the greater reversal in the salvation from death we have in Jesus Christ.
