Sermon Notes
Esther: Secrets of Success | Might Makes Right
Esther 8:1-10:3
August 11, 2024
Esther 8:1-2
That same day King Xerxes gave Queen Esther the estate of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came into the presence of the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her. The king took off his signet ring, which he had reclaimed from Haman, and presented it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed him over Haman’s estate.
What do you do when you have become successful?
“Might makes right.”
EDICT ONE:
“to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—on a single day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods.” Esther 3:13
EDICT TWO:
The king’s edict granted the Jews in every city the right to assemble and protect themselves; to destroy, kill and annihilate the armed men of any nationality or province who might attack them and their women and children, and to plunder the property of their enemies. Esther 8:11
Esther 9:1
On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them.

Esther 9:15

Esther 9:16
Meanwhile, the remainder of the Jews who were in the king’s provinces also assembled to protect themselves and get relief from their enemies. They killed seventy-five thousand of them but did not lay their hands on the plunder.
When you become successful
Don’t take advantage of your advantage.
Isaiah 2:4-5
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore.
Come, descendants of Jacob,
let us walk in the light of the Lord.
When you become successful
Use your power to help the powerless.
Esther 9:22
He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor.
Esther 10:3
Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews, and held in high esteem by his many fellow Jews, because he worked for the
When you become successful
Use your power to help the powerless.
When you become successful
Humbly remember your humble beginnings.

So Queen Esther, daughter of Abihail, along with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority…
