00:01 It's almost time for "Kids' Time." Yeah.
00:02 We're gonna be late. 00:04 It's time to share, there's a world out there 00:08 Looking for a friend like Jesus 00:12 It's time to share, there's a world out there 00:16 Let's tell them that He loves us so 00:20 Let's tell them that He loves us so 00:24 Kids' time Kids' time 00:28 Kids' time 00:31 Hi, boys and girls. 00:33 Our Bible story today is about Queen Esther 00:35 and how she made a very important request to the King. 00:38 And he wasn't the sort of man to listen to just anyone. 00:41 Oh... No. 00:43 In fact, he had killed people who made request he didn't like, 00:46 even his own family members. 00:48 So Esther had to be very careful how she made her request. 00:52 You know, boys and girls, it's wise to be careful 00:54 about how and when you ask for something. 00:57 You have to think about who you're asking, 00:59 where you're asking, and why you're asking 01:00 not just what you're asking for. 01:02 And most of all, it's important to ask God 01:05 whether it's the right thing to ask for. 01:07 If it is, He'll give you the courage 01:09 to make your request known 01:10 in just the right time and place. 01:13 We'll see in our Bible story today 01:14 how God was with Esther. 01:17 Next time, you make an important request, 01:19 I hope you will ask God to guide you 01:21 and be with you, too. 01:22 Well, right now it's time for Nature Time. 01:32 Hi, boys and girls, welcome to Nature Time. 01:35 This has been a great time for Ranger Dwight. 01:37 We're 2 1/2 miles out of Grand Cayman Island 01:41 and the barrier reef out here. It's amazing. 01:43 And I've got Daniel Stewart. 01:45 Daniel, you know a lot about fish 01:47 and lobster and all kinds of stuff. 01:49 We've just been snorkeling having a great time, 01:51 but everyone calls you Sparrow so I'll call you Sparrow. 01:54 Oh, yeah, that's fine. Okay. 01:56 It's been a nickname, so I had it for a long time. 01:58 Well, Sparrow, under the water, 02:00 the one thing that just amazed me was a fish 02:03 and it looked like a lion 02:04 and I guess you call it a lionfish? 02:06 Yeah, it's a lionfish. And so-- 02:09 But this lionfish can you pat it or is it-- 02:14 it looked like the mane was sticking out there 02:15 but I don't know, tell me about a lionfish. 02:18 One really can't touch it. 02:19 It's very defensive because it's a predator, 02:22 can eat all the small fish. 02:23 That's why you didn't see many fish like-- 02:25 Yeah, I didn't see any fish around that lionfish. 02:29 That's right. So that is a predator. 02:30 You don't want to touch it. You don't want to touch it. 02:32 Not even me, I shouldn't touch it. 02:33 Don't go up and pat this thing. Wow. 02:35 Then you can just swim away from it, 02:37 just look the other way. 02:39 And now has this lionfish always been in these parts here 02:41 in the Grand Cayman Island? 02:42 Well, no, not at all. Okay. 02:44 Definitely last year, 02:45 that's when we start seeing a lot of them. 02:47 So they just kind of-- Just kind of moved in. 02:48 They've moved in. That's right. 02:50 And they are taking the other little fish out right now. 02:51 That's right. Wow. 02:53 Wherever you find a lot of small fish, 02:54 that's where you find lionfish. Wow. 02:56 'Cause they feed off them, you know. 02:57 Well, now the one thing I did see 02:59 that was close by is the lobster. 03:01 Now, I guess, there's more than one species of lobsters. 03:04 What kind do they have here? 03:05 Well, we have the spiny lobster here. 03:06 The spiny lobster and how big does that grow? 03:09 The spiny lobster can grow up to 15 pounds, 12 to 15 pounds. 03:12 Wow. That's pretty big lobster. 03:14 I mean, I'm sure other parts of the world, 03:16 they grow a lot bigger but the spiny one here 03:18 doesn't really get that big. 03:19 Not as big. Exactly. 03:21 Well, they seem pretty big to me. Yeah. 03:23 Now on that note when we were down there 03:25 snorkeling under the water, 03:27 um, I saw this one lobster, it was in a pipe 03:31 and do they like to be inside things 03:33 or they like to be out or what? 03:35 Well, they like to hide especially during the day, 03:37 maybe in the coral or in the pipes 03:39 or anything they find on the bottom 03:41 that they can go into and hide. 03:42 But at night, they would come out and-- 03:44 Okay, they go out so they do 03:46 their most of their eating then at night? 03:48 At night, right. At night. Okay. 03:50 Now with these lobsters 03:51 how long will they live mostly, you know? 03:54 I would say 10 to 12 years, easy. 03:56 That's a long time for fish, I think. 03:58 Yes, yeah. Wow. 04:00 Now I've got another question about lobster. 04:02 I remember that one time, it's not been this time 04:04 snorkeling but I grabbed the antennas. 04:06 Is that what they're called the antenna? 04:08 Antenna. And they're just powerful. 04:10 They just--I can't imagine how much power they have for... 04:14 They do have a lot of power. 04:15 They use a tail and they use that to pull. 04:18 Now do they have a lot of enemies? 04:19 Is that why they come out at night 04:21 or does other fish leave him alone? 04:23 Well, not really. 04:25 I don't think they have enemies like that, 04:26 you know, but just that they hide 04:27 and awesome fish, I guess, they protect themselves mostly. 04:30 So what do lobsters eat? 04:32 Do they eat other fish like the lionfish or... 04:34 Well, if they can catch it, they eat a lot of fish, 04:37 if they can catch it the scrap from the bottom. Okay. 04:39 You know, fish scraps, you know, right off the bottom. 04:43 Sparrow, it's been fantastic that you were with me today. 04:45 Under the water, in God's nature, 04:47 I've seen so much above the water, 04:49 but the beautiful colors what God has for us 04:52 even under the water it's been great. 04:54 And, kids, it's been great that you've joined us today. 04:56 Just remember, nature is God's second book. 05:00 Get out there, take a look. 05:15 You are my strength when I am weak 05:18 You are the treasure that I seek 05:21 You are my all in all 05:27 Seeking You as a precious jewel 05:30 Lord, to give up I'd be a fool 05:34 You are my all in all 05:39 Jesus, Lamb of God 05:45 Worthy is Your name 05:52 Jesus, Lamb of God 05:58 Worthy is Your name 06:05 Taking my sin my cross my shame 06:08 Raising again I praise Your name 06:11 You are my all in all 06:17 When I fall down You pick me up 06:20 When I am dry You fill my cup 06:24 You are my all in all 06:29 Jesus, Lamb of God 06:35 Worthy is Your name 06:42 Jesus, Lamb of God 06:48 Worthy is Your name 07:04 It's Learning Time. It's Learning Time! 07:06 Hey, thanks for joining us today. 07:08 We've got a special program 07:10 and we're going to use some fire. 07:12 Do you like fire? Yes. 07:14 Well, you know, fire can be our friend 07:16 but you got to have some help when you do this at home. 07:20 You need your parents or your teacher 07:21 or your guardian to help you with this. 07:23 And I've got my helpers. Let me introduce them to us. 07:26 We've got Joey over here. 07:27 Joey, do you have a favorite animal? 07:29 Yes. Our guinea pig. 07:30 A guinea pig. Hey, that's a fun animal to have. 07:33 And we have Danielle. 07:34 Now, Danielle, you have a favorite sport you like to do. 07:37 What is that? 07:38 It's softball. It's softball. 07:40 Hey, that's good to get exercise, isn't it? 07:42 And then we have Darnel. 07:44 Now, Darnel, your favorite subject is what? 07:46 Science. Science. 07:48 Anybody else likes science? 07:49 Yes. Oh, this is great. 07:51 Let me get my helpers to come up here. 07:52 Now today my helpers are going to be observers. 07:56 You know, we learn lots of things by observing, 07:58 by looking and seeing and touching. 08:00 Now today, we're gonna put our safety glasses on, right? 08:03 'Cause we're gonna use some fire. 08:05 Because fire can be our friend and fire can also be our enemy. 08:08 Correct? 08:10 Okay. So what we're gonna do? 08:11 We're gonna try to figure something out here today 08:13 and that is action reaction. 08:16 For every action, there's an opposite but equal reaction. 08:20 There was a very famous scientist, Sir Issac Newton 08:23 and it's his third law of science 08:26 and it talks about action and reaction. 08:28 So what I'm gonna do right here is I'm gonna go ahead 08:30 and I'm going to light these little canals on fire 08:33 and we're gonna try to figure out why this works 08:37 'cause we have a candle seesaw. 08:40 Now I don't know if you've ever been on a seesaw or not, 08:43 but they're kind of fun to do, aren't they? 08:45 You like to go on a seesaw? Yeah. 08:48 And, you know, what we've got right here, 08:49 why don't you move back just a little bit, 08:50 so we don't get too close to the fire. 08:52 Now this is kind of like burning your candle at both ends. 08:55 Have you ever heard that? 08:56 Yeah. No. 08:58 Well, that means if you're just doing too many things 09:00 and, you know, pretty soon you get kind of dizzy 09:02 'cause you're just too busy 09:03 and you use up a lot of fuel, don't you? 09:05 Now look here. 09:06 Can you tell me, in fact, how is it going? 09:08 Can you see this one right here? 09:10 This one's working and that one's working. 09:11 How come it goes tipping back and forth, and back and forth? 09:16 What do you see? What? 09:18 The fire is moving. The fire is moving. What else? 09:20 What causes it to tip and then to come back up? 09:23 Oh, because, um, the matter in the, 09:25 um, candle wax is changing 'cause it's melting. 09:29 That's right. As the candle wax melts, 09:31 it drops a little tiny drop right here. 09:33 And that makes this end lighter and so it goes up. 09:36 And this end is gonna be heavier until it drops wax 09:39 and so it just goes teetering back and forth, back and forth. 09:43 Isn't that interesting? Yes. 09:44 So just a little drop of wax can make a difference, right? 09:47 Yes. Right. 09:49 Hey, how about a smile? 09:50 You know, have you ever came across somebody 09:54 that smiled at you and it changed your whole day? 09:56 Yes. Has that ever happened to you? 09:58 Or maybe somebody said a kind word to you 10:00 and it just changed your whole atmosphere of the day. 10:03 Maybe you weren't feeling very well 10:04 and they said, "Hey, good morning. 10:06 How are you? It's good to see you." 10:07 It cheers us up, doesn't it? Yes. 10:09 So the small things in life are very important. 10:12 We can change somebody's outlook on life 10:14 by being that very special person. 10:16 Isn't that cool? 10:18 You know, that's what God wants us to do. 10:19 He wants us to change other's lives by just 10:23 maybe showing his love to other people 10:25 'cause some people don't know the love of Jesus. 10:28 And, you know, every time we learn about science, 10:32 we're learning more about our Creator, God. 10:56 Oh, Harbonnah! Harbonnah! 11:01 Yes, your Majesty. I cannot sleep. 11:04 What is that loud banging outside the city wall? 11:07 I do not know, your Majesty, but I'll find out right away. 11:09 Yes, no. 11:12 Ah, it wouldn't matter if it was still and quiet. I cannot sleep. 11:19 All the time my mind is Queen Esther and her request. 11:23 Do you know that she has asked me 11:25 and Haman to come and join her for yet another banquet? 11:29 Another banquet? 11:31 I do not understand what she's up to. 11:35 How much longer until sunrise? 11:36 6 hours, your Majesty. 11:38 Oh... I can't sleep. 11:42 Harbonnah, bring the Record of the Chronicle 11:47 and read them to me. 11:49 Perhaps, this will help me to sleep. 11:54 Mordecai, the Jew, found out that Bigthan and Teresh, 11:58 two of the kings eunuchs who were door keepers 12:00 to King Ahasuerus' bed chambers 12:02 had plotted to lay their hands on the king and take his life. 12:06 Mordecai reported their plot to the king 12:08 and the two men were put to death 12:10 thus saving the king's life. 12:12 The king consulted with the two princes 12:14 on making a hanging garden. 12:16 No... 12:17 Stop. Mordecai... 12:21 what did we do to honor this man that saved my life? 12:26 Nothing, your Majesty. 12:27 Nothing? Nothing was done for him. 12:29 How can that be? It's not right. 12:34 I need the counsel of an advisor. 12:37 I believe Haman is still working late in the palace. 12:39 Should I go get him, your Majesty? 12:41 Bring Haman to me and, Harbonnah, you can be dismissed. 12:44 Yes, your Majesty. Mordecai. 12:54 Your Majesty, how might I, 12:57 your most humble and loyal advisor, be of service? 13:01 Haman, what should be done 13:06 for the man in whom the king delights to honor? 13:13 What His Highness should do is take this man, 13:18 dress him in your finest robes, set him atop your horse, 13:23 and put the royal crown upon his head, 13:27 then send him through the streets 13:29 led by someone proclaiming, 13:31 "Thus is the man whom the king would desire to honor." 13:37 Yes. 13:38 This is why you are my most trusted advisor. 13:46 I wish for you to go and do exactly as you have said. 13:50 Select my finest robe, put him upon 13:54 my most majestic white horse, dress him in the finest of garb 14:01 and then parade him before all of my people 14:04 throughout all of my kingdom that everyone may know 14:08 that this is the man that I delight to honor, 14:14 this man who saved my life. 14:19 Now go and do all this and more 14:24 for Mordecai, the Jew. 14:28 Yes, your Majesty, as you wish, your Majesty. 14:45 Tomar, all that noise out there, it's driving me crazy. 14:49 All day it's been on in the streets. 14:51 Do you know what is going on? 14:53 I heard there's some sort of a parade with the king. 14:56 Parade with the king? 14:58 Never mind that, Haman needs to be here now. 15:01 He has that banquet to attend tonight 15:03 with the king and the queen. 15:05 He should be here now. 15:07 Thus shall be done to the man-- Haman? 15:09 What is he doing running in front of the king's horse? 15:13 Thus shall be done to the man-- 15:16 Well, never mind that. 15:18 Tomar, go open the door, quickly. 15:22 We need to get him ready. 15:23 We do. He will be late. 15:27 Haman. King-- 15:29 Haman, come here. 15:31 The horse. The horse? 15:33 Why were you running in front of the horse? Thirst. 15:36 Tomar, water, get him some water. 15:39 Well, Haman, I have some good news for you. 15:42 The gallows are ready. They're finished. 15:46 Forget the gallows. I went to the king suggesting-- 15:51 to suggest that we hang Mordecai-- 15:54 Right. 15:56 And the king says to me-- What did he say? 15:58 "What shall we do with that whom the king would honor?" 16:02 And you told him? 16:05 I suggested that we put him in a crown 16:09 and the king's finest garments 16:11 and set him atop the king's horse 16:13 and have him paraded around throughout the city 16:16 with someone in front of him 16:18 saying that very same thing thinking that I, 16:22 the second most powerful person in the city, 16:25 would be the one he would honor. 16:27 Right, and that made no sense. 16:28 Why were you running in front of the horse? 16:31 He ended up putting Mordecai on top of the horse 16:34 and ordered me to parade around in front of him 16:37 saying that line over and over again. 16:40 I've been saying it all day to myself, 16:42 it's the worst idea I've ever had. 16:45 Haman, I don't like this. I don't like this. 16:50 This is not what had intended. This is not our plan. 16:54 Perhaps, I could still salvage the plan tonight 16:58 by talking to the king at the feast. 17:00 Haman, we will not prevail against Mordecai. 17:07 Quickly. 17:11 We are here for Haman. 17:14 I'm almost ready. 17:16 My Lord Haman, it is time for the banquet. 17:18 The king demands your presence at once. 17:21 Let's go. 17:36 Your Majesty, this is an excellent feast, 17:41 even finer than the last. 17:43 Indeed. 17:44 You know,I've really been enjoying all the time 17:46 that you and I and your queen have been spending together. 17:50 I almost feel as if I'm one of the family at this point. 17:53 Wonderful, wonderful. 17:55 And bring me a report 17:56 of the one I chose to honor this Mordecai, Jew. 18:02 He is doing quite well. 18:05 He, uh, he mounted the king's horse 18:08 and was lead around the city. He-- 18:10 And you paraded him for all the people to see? 18:13 Yes, I did. Splendid, splendid. 18:16 Through the whole city. 18:18 My Queen, this is a glorious feast, 18:23 even more splendid than the night before. 18:27 But I tell you, keep me in suspense no longer. 18:31 I have come prepared to hear and to honor your request 18:37 even up to half of my kingdom. 18:43 If I found favor in your sight, oh, King, 18:46 and if it pleases the King, 18:48 I ask you to grant me my life at my petition 18:52 and my people's at my request. 18:55 We are being singled out to be killed and destroyed, my King. 18:59 Now if we were just to be sold, 19:02 I would've held my tongue. But we're to be killed. 19:04 We're to be destroyed 19:06 and our property sold and confiscated. 19:10 How dare anyone choose to bring you harm? 19:12 Who is responsible for this? 19:14 It's that wicked man. It's Haman. 19:17 Haman. Not Haman, my most trusted advisor. 19:22 How can this be? You betrayed me. 19:25 I am filled with rage. I am ready to take you. 19:32 No, no, no, no, your Highness, you can't let them do this. 19:36 You're my only hope. I had no idea you were a Jew. 19:39 I never would've given that order if I know. 19:41 Haman, stop. No. 19:43 Will you assault my Queen in front of my very own eyes? 19:48 I had no idea. Seize him. 19:51 No, no, no, no. 19:55 No. Stop. 19:57 Take him from my presence. 20:00 Your Majesty, Haman built a 75-foot gallows for Mordecai. 20:04 Knock that... 20:05 You build gallows to hang the man who saved my life? 20:10 No. I, you don't understand-- 20:13 Now let his fate be yours. 20:18 Hang Haman-- No. 20:21 From his own gallows. No, no. 20:28 My Queen, my Queen, did he harm you? 20:30 No, I'm fine, my King. 20:31 Thank you for saving my life and the lives of my people. 20:34 Oh, I'm so glad you're all right. 20:37 I heard your requests and I granted it this day 20:42 but I long to do more for you and your people. 20:46 This day I shall elevate to a position of leadership 20:51 Mordecai, the Jew and I am confident 20:56 that the god of Mordecai will save your people. 21:01 He's not only Mordecai's god, my Lord, 21:04 he's my god as well. 21:18 B-I-B-L-E That's the book for me 21:22 I stand alone on the Word of God 21:25 The B-I-B-L-E 21:35 B-I-B-L-E That's the book for me 21:39 I stand alone on the Word of God 21:42 The B-I-B-L-E 21:51 Hi, boys and girls, 21:52 it's time for Miss Brenda's Book of the Day. 21:55 And today's book is, 21:58 you guessed it, it's by Miss Brenda. 22:00 It's called "Miss Brenda's Bedtime Stories Volume 2." 22:04 And it is full of wonderful character building stories 22:07 to help you be more like Jesus. 22:09 And some of Miss Brenda's stories are in here, 22:12 but I've also invited bestselling authors 22:14 and friends of Miss Brenda to be part of this project 22:17 and they shared their stories too. 22:19 You're gonna love them. 22:20 Listen to some of the titles.
