Pride Builds the Gallows It Hangs On | Esther 5:9-7:10

Mar 15, 2026    Pastor Hayden Norris

Ever felt like the wicked are winning and the righteous are being pushed down? The story of Esther reminds us that our stories aren't over yet—God is always working behind the scenes.


In Esther chapters 5-7, we witness a stunning reversal. Haman's pride leads him to build gallows for Mordecai, but God orchestrates events through a sleepless king, an old record, and perfect timing. The very gallows Haman built became his own downfall. The lesson? Humble yourself or be humiliated.
