God Save the Queen — Part 2: Leadership Stinks

Summary

In this sermon exploring leadership through the biblical story of Esther, the pastor defines leadership as a combination of character and skill that results in service, using the contrast between Mordecai and Haman to illustrate that leadership and life are inherently unfair. The sermon references Psalm 78 and draws from the book of Esther, focusing on how Mordecai saved the king from an assassination plot but was not rewarded, while Haman was promoted despite being an enemy of the Jewish people. The key takeaway is that although leadership can be challenging and seemingly unjust, God remains faithful, and leaders should focus on serving others rather than seeking personal recognition.
