Uncovered Plot • Esther 2: 19 -23

Haman What do we learn about him?

Agagite • 1 Samuel 15 • Ex 17: 816 • Deut 25: 17 -19

Haman What do we learn about him?

Haman vs. Mordecai

Three reactions to the world

Conclusion: • The consequences of sin affect others more than we realize. • We need wisdom on how to react to the world’s pressures. • God can (and does) use us despite (in spite) of out behavior.

For Next Week • Read the book of Esther through again. • Why does Mordecai act the way he does? • Why does Esther respond the way she does? • What does this chapter teach us about God? • Record any questions you have and bring them to class.
