Today I'll be telling you the story of Rebecca Rebecca wow that's such a beautiful
name I wish my name was Rebecca but your name is cute too freckles that it is all right then let us
begin listening to the story of Rebecca the woman who relied on her own strength instead of trusting
the Lord completely Rebecca was the young wife of Isaac and the mother of Jacob and Esau she was the
daughter of Bethel when Isaac was a young boy his father Abraham was looking for a bride for Isaac
so Abraham sent one of his servants to the city of Nahar to find a suitable Bride for Isaac
servant looked everywhere in the city but did not find one
tired and exhausted so he sat near the well to rest while you rested he prayed to God that the
next young woman who came to the well and gave him water to drink will be the girl chosen as Isaac's
Pride as he prayed Rebecca came to the web to get some water with a jar on her shoulder she saw the
servant tired and exhausted so she offered him and his camel some water to drink and some food to eat
immediately the servant knew that Rebecca was the girl who God had sent to be Isaac's wife
the servant brought Rebecca to Abraham and soon Isaac and Rebecca got married
years went by but Rebecca and Isaac had no children Isaac prayed to God day in and day out
without losing hope soon God heard his prayers and blessed Rebecca with twins Jacob and Esau
Jacob and Esau were the first twins mentioned in the bible even before they were born Rebecca could
feel the both of them fighting inside her womb she prayed to God asking him the reason for the two
brothers fighting all the time to this God said Rebecca you are going to give birth to two Nations
they are both inside you right now and that's why they are at odds with one another
one shall be stronger than the other the older will serve the younger
soon it time for Rebecca to give birth he song was born first who grew up to
become Isaac's favorite son while Jacob was Rebecca's in those days the practice was that
the firstborn was always entitled to receive Birthright and since Esau was born first he
would have inherited the birthright this saddened Rebecca she loved Jacob and wanted him to have it
Jacob Who tricked his own brother into selling him his Birthright for a bowl of stew
later when Isaac grew old and he was on his deathbed and could not see Rebecca helped Jacob
to deceive Isaac into blessing him instead of Esau she used gold skins on Jacob's hands to imitate
Esau's hairy arms years later a lot of things happened an Esau was finally able to forgive
Jacob when Rebecca died she was buried in the family tomb a cave near memore in Canaan which was
also the resting place of Abraham Sarah and Isaac later Jacob was also buried in the same tomb that
was an amazing story holy thank you for telling us all about Rebecca I'm glad you enjoyed it tubby
the holy Tales today I'm going to tell you the story of Martha
yes I'll also ask you one question at the end of the story [Music]
County points today [Music] Martha was a woman who lived in Bethany with her brother Lazarus and
her sister Mary one day Jesus and his disciples were on their way to Jerusalem when they decided
to make a stop at Bethany they needed some place to eat and rest it was Martha who welcomed them
into her home graciously during Jesus's visit Martha's Sister Mary sat near Jesus's feet and
continued to sit there throughout listening to Jesus's teachings Martha on the other hand was
distracted and busy preparing meals serving them and looking after their comfort while Mary Sat
by Jesus's feet this angered Martha frustrated she went up to Jesus and asked him Lord don't you care
that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself tell her please to help me Martha my child
you are worrying and upsetting yourself over things which are not at all important
Mary has chosen the better thing to do and I shall not take that away from her
[Music]
his brother Lazarus was very unwell the sisters had sent word to Jesus for him to come and heal
him when Jesus got the news he left immediately but it was too late by the time he had arrived
Lazarus had died and it had already been four days since his death when Jesus arrived Martha
ran out to meet him while Mary remained inside Lord if you had been here my brother would have
lived but I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask brother will rise again
I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day I am the resurrection and the life
the one who believes in me will live even though they die and those who live by believing in me
will never die do you believe this Martha yes Lord I believe that you are the Messiah the
Son of God who has come into the world Martha and Mary then took Jesus to their brothers too
Martha had full faith in Jesus and her God and they both stood and watched while Jesus brought
their brother Lazarus back to life six days before the Passover Jesus and his disciples came
to Bethany and they again stayed at Martha's house Martha had arranged for a dinner in Jesus's honor
here Lazarus was also present Martha's brother who Jesus had raised from the dead
Martha served dinner to Jesus Mary anointed him with oil while Lazarus sat at the table with
him whoa that was quite a story I am glad you enjoyed it gumbo we did too all right
the holy Tales I was thinking of telling you the story of Queen Esther we all
remember Queen Esther don't we yes yes I remember her so do I
um yes I think I do a little too all right let us all get together and hear the story
of Queen Esther who was a remarkable woman and a great example of faith and courage yay
Esther was a beautiful young woman and was raised by a man called Mordecai who had taken her as
his own daughter after both her parents had died Esther was chosen to be the queen of King services
she was extremely beautiful and a very elegant woman she was taken to the king's court and the
King immediately fell in love with her however the King was unaware of the fact that Esther was
actually a Jewish woman Mordecai had asked her to keep her family background and nationality
a secret from the King Esther did as she was told all of the Jews who lived in Israel were
all driven out of their country almost 70 years earlier and all of them were exiled in Persia
Esther's stepfather Mordecai was a man of great dignity and he refused to bow down to Haman
who was a very high official and an adviser to the king Heyman was a very arrogant man
he could not take Mordecai's disrespect towards him and so he plotted against him
to get him removed from the court however esta soon found out about heyman's plan
she got to know that Heyman was planning to kill Mordecai and she needed to do something about it
but she feared going up to the king in his courtroom because in those days whoever entered
the King's throne room without permission was put to death so esta thought about another plan
to confront the king he prayed and fasted for three long days and finally arranged
for a banquet for the king and Haman alone King Xerxes and Haman came for the elaborate banquet
and the King was extremely pleased with her Arrangements Queen Esther then gathered the
courage and confessed all about her ancestry to her husband and told him all about her being a Jew
King Xerxes loved his Queen very much he believed Queen Esther and was persuaded by her love for him
he decided not to punish her then Esther said if I have been able to please the king and if he
regards me with favor then let him write an order ruling the death penalty of Haman who is planning
to destroy the Jews in the king's province King xerxis agreed to his wife and immediately
ordered that Haman must be hanged in the same Gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai
wow that was such a clever move by Queen Esther to save her father and her people yes she was indeed
a smart and wise woman but most importantly it was her faith in God which brought this wisdom upon
her now who wants to answer today's question and win some brownie points me me all right
so today's question is what was the name of the man who raised Queen Esther after her parents died
Mordecai excellent gumbo you win a brownie Point these kids are super excited with the new story
