Eastertide 2025 - Esther Part Four - Pride and Humility
Description
In this sermon, Rod Hugan reflects on Esther 5–6, focusing on the contrast between Haman’s pride and Mordecai’s quiet humility. Through storytelling, personal reflection, and biblical insight, Rod explores how pride distorts our view of honor and how true humility allows us to return to the gates—to serve, to wait, and to trust God’s quiet work in the shadows. A thoughtful invitation to examine whose approval we seek and what kind of character we’re cultivating.
Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other Village leaders open the Scriptures as the witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our lives. Scripture gives us more than abstract ideas. It is the Word of God, given to form us, confront us, comfort us, and teach us how to follow Jesus.
Each episode invites us to listen and respond. We are learning to understand the Bible more faithfully; we are also learning how to live as God’s renewed people.
Week by week, our pastors and leaders talk about the practices of Christian discipleship, including prayer, fasting, generosity, Scripture memory, worship, and life together. These practices belong to a whole life formed around Jesus.
The podcast also speaks to ordinary places where faith is lived; our relationships, finances, habits, struggles, joys, and decisions. The gospel speaks to what we believe. It also teaches us how to live in the present age as people who belong to the kingdom of God.
