Esther 6:1-14
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
What did you find interesting or surprising in studying Esther 6, and why?
Where do you see God’s hidden hand at work in this chapter? How does that shape the way you view coincidence, timing, and everyday life?
How does seeing God’s hidden hand strengthen your faith when He seems absent or silent?
Mordecai’s faithfulness was overlooked for years before being honored. How would you have responded? What does his story teach us about trusting God’s timing and continuing in quiet obedience?
What do Haman’s inner thoughts and recommendations reveal about his heart (Esther 6:6-9)? How do his thoughts and recommendations serve as a window into our own hearts?
Haman grasped for the king’s honor and was put to open shame, but Jesus “did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped” (Philippians 2:6) and was later exalted. How does this contrast expose the ways we seek recognition, control, or status—and what would it look like to follow Jesus in humility instead?
Haman is publicly shamed, and Mordecai is publicly honored—a glimpse of the greater reversal where Jesus triumphs over sin, Satan, and death through the cross and is exalted as Lord. How does this shape not just what you believe about evil, but how you live right now?
Esther 6 reminds us that God is writing a story of reversal—evil overturned, the dead brought to life, the humble lifted, His people rescued. Where do you need to trust that your current situation is not the final chapter? What would it look like to live with that confidence this week?
