Esther 6 - A Sleepless Night

The King has difficulty sleeping, as Esther has left him with some curious and mysterious hints.  Who is truly loyal to me?  What is Haman up to? The King identifies Mordechai and his loyalty to him, and he wants to give him the proper honor.  Haman senses that his tactics are beginning to backfire.

Esther 5 - Esther's Party

Esther realizes that the key to success is to show the king that the truly loyal servant is Mordechai, and that the disloyal usurper is Haman.  She devises an ingenious plan to make the king suspicious of Haman.  She makes a party!
