FEATURED TEACHING OF THE MONTH
New to the library? Pastor Nicole hand-picks one teaching each month as the best place to start.
A Hater Named Haman
From the book of Esther — Haman had everything: power, wealth, the king's favor. But one man's refusal to bow consumed him until he lost it all. This teaching unpacks the anatomy of hate, the sovereignty of God, and what happens when the gallows you build for someone else become your own.
"A hater is somebody whose whole world gets small because of one person's refusal to do what they want them to do. But God was never scared of Haman's plan — He was already three steps ahead." — Pastor Nicole
Fact Versus Truth
When What You See Contradicts What God Said
Have you ever let a diagnosis preach to you? Have you ever let a delay convince you that God forgot you? Have you ever known what was true and still could not make yourself feel it?
This teaching was written for that exact moment. Eleven sections. A complete practical framework. Fourteen Scripture-backed fact versus truth pairs. A prayer. Eight declarations. More than 6,000 words of pastoral teaching from the inside of a real hard season.
