Summary

Haman, the enemy of Queen Esther, is one of the most vivid case studies in the Bible of unchecked pride. We learn three things from the account of Haman: 1) The character of pride; 2) The deadliness of pride; 3) The cure for pride. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 29, 2007. Series: Esther and the Hiddenness of God. Scripture: Esther 3:1-6; 6:1-10. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
