In Esther 5, Haman seems to have it all—power, prestige, influence, and favor with the king and queen. But one man, Mordecai, refusing to bow is enough to rob him of all joy. In this sermon, we take a hard look at how bitterness and pride can blind us to the blessings right in front of us. What do we do when one frustration overshadows all the good in our lives? Discover how unchecked resentment can ruin what should be moments of celebration—and how God's people are called to live with hearts anchored in humility and grace.
