00:02 Hello there. Happy Sabbath. Come on in. We're about to meet with
00:07 the King. 00:08 ¤ ¤ 00:56 Hello. I'm Auntie Nat. It's great that you could all join us 00:58 to meet with the King. We're about to open the Sabbath. 01:01 Come and join in with our worship time together. 01:04 Hello Auntie Cecily. It's good to see you here. 01:06 Hello Auntie Nat. 01:08 Hello children. It's great to see you here too, that you could 01:11 come and help us welcome the King. Yes Elijah. 01:14 Auntie Nat you forgot about Teddy. 01:16 Aw. Welcome Teddy. It's great to have you along as well. 01:19 Auntie Cecily, could you please say a prayer for us. 01:23 Yes. Dear Father, thank you for keeping us safe all through the 01:27 week. And thank you that we can spend some special time 01:30 with you on this Sabbath. In Jesus' name Amen. Amen. 01:35 Do you know this is a great time to reflect on our week and to 01:39 see what God has blessed us with Kate, you've got something for 01:43 us that God has done for you this past week. 01:45 Yes. One day I lost something that was really important to me 01:48 and I prayed about it for a few days and then I found it. 01:53 That's great Kate. Thanks for sharing that with us. Auntie 01:58 Cecily you've got something to share with us as well. Something 02:02 Later on in our Bible study we're going to learn about an 02:06 angel called Lucifer and how he rebelled against God. Lucifer 02:12 made a choice between choosing to worship God or himself. His 02:17 obedience was tested. We must also make a choice about who we 02:22 worship. The Sabbath identifies the true God and His kingship. 02:27 God is the King of the Sabbath as He created it in the first 02:32 place. If we forget the Sabbath it's easier for us to forget the 02:37 Creator King. To choose to worship on the seventh day 02:41 Sabbath is to accept the authority of the King. 02:44 Exodus 31:3 tells that the keeping of the Sabbath is a sign 02:50 between us and God to show that we love, obey and worship Him 02:57 only. Are you going to worship God or man? God. God loves us 03:02 so much that he set aside the Sabbath day so that we could 03:08 spend the day with Him, a day with the King! 03:11 Praise God! Thanks Auntie Cecily for sharing that with us. God is 03:16 good. Do you know another way that we can worship God on the 03:21 Sabbath is to worship God in song. We've got Pastor Rick here 03:25 to do that with us. Thanks Pastor Rick. 03:28 Hi girls and boys. We're going to sing He's Able, 03:31 do you know the song? 04:17 Can we sing it again? 04:59 Pastor Rick can we sing books of the Bible? 05:03 Oh, that's another good one kind of a test let's give it a go 06:23 Pastor Rick can we please sing Seek Ye First? 06:27 Yes, Do you know this one? 07:16 Thanks Pastor Rick. It's great to praise God in song. Elijah we 07:20 discovered a blessing this week at Sunnyside. Will you share 07:24 that with the children. Yes. Okay, let's go have a look. 07:27 ¤ ¤ Hello boys and girls. My name is 07:35 Dr. John Hammond. Welcome to the Australian home of Mrs. Ellen 07:40 White. Come with me. I've got some stories to tell you. 07:44 Well here we are sitting in the lounge room at Sunnyside and 07:57 this was the house that Ellen built well over 100 years ago. 08:02 One morning she was in the kitchen and she heard a noise 08:10 It was a banging, cracking noise and she thought I wonder what 08:17 that is? And she went outside and there was one of her workers 08:23 with a stock whip. Now this stock whip is quite long and it 08:27 makes a huge banging, cracking noise and he was using it on a 08:37 horse. The horse was doing nothing wrong but he had lost 08:40 his temper and he was belting the horse and he didn't realize 08:46 that Ellen was tippy toe around the corner. And she saw him and 08:54 she said, stop, stop, don't hurt the animal. And he stopped, whip 09:01 in his hand. Oh he was so embarrassed and he tried to hide 09:07 it behind his back. But it was too late because Ellen had seen 09:11 him. And she said, I want to tell you something young man. 09:16 I had a dream. I was down in Tasmania, which is hundreds of 09:22 kilometers away, and I dreamed about you. I saw you and you 09:27 were driving a team of horses and you had this whip and you 09:31 lost your temper, and you started to belt the horses 09:36 and you know what happened in that dream. I'm going to remind 09:40 you because you will remember. A man suddenly appeared on the 09:46 road, a tall man, and he stopped like that. He grabbed the bridle 09:51 that holds the horses head and he stopped the horses and he 09:56 said young man I want to talk to you. He said have you ever heard 10:01 the story of Balaam, the prophet in the Bible who belted his 10:06 donkey. You've heard that story haven't you? I'm sure you've all 10:10 heard that story. He said, I want to write down your name 10:14 and he took out a notebook, he wrote down the boy's name. That 10:21 man was an angel. And when he finished with the boy he said I 10:28 don't want you ever to do this again. And that was the end of 10:36 the dream that Ellen had and you know it had gone from her mind 10:42 until she heard the crack of the whip and when she went out she 10:50 spoke to him. She said do you know that God is saying to you 10:56 if you are not kind to animals you won't be kind to other 11:01 human beings and I am going to make sure that you never ever 11:08 work with any of my animals again. You know she had cows 11:14 she had dogs and she knew all the cows' names, she knew the 11:19 horses' names and she knew that the best way to get the best out 11:24 of an animal was to be kind. Do you all have pets at home? What 11:29 have you got? I got a dog. A dog. Guinea Pigs and Chickens 11:34 Anything better than a dog? 11:36 A cat. Anything more exciting. Two dogs. Two dogs and a cat. 11:44 I actually had a pet leopard 11:47 when I was a boy and it was lovely. It would 11:49 sit on your shoulder and I had a pet snake and I had a pet 11:58 spider and I think Ellen was so kind to animals. This young man 12:04 he never ever worked for Ellen again because she said if you 12:10 cannot be kind to animals you cannot work and be kind to other 12:17 people. So there's a lesson here There are many characteristics 12:24 but be kind to animals. And if you're kind to animals you'll be 12:30 kind to people. Thank you. ¤ ¤ 12:34 Hi boys and girls. Happy Sabbath Welcome to our Bible study. 12:37 If you haven't got your Bibles ready yet, go and get them now 12:41 so you can follow along with us. Auntie Cecily would you like to 12:44 say a prayer please before we open the word. 12:46 Dear God, thank you for our Bibles. Please be with us as we 12:53 study your word. And please help the boys and girls to understand 12:57 what we read today. In Jesus' name Amen, Amen. 13:01 Boys and girls do you remember what we spoke about last Sabbath 13:04 About Adam and Eve being kicked out of the garden. 13:07 Right Dee. They had to leave the garden. Who tricked them? 13:11 Satan. Satan tricked them. He was the serpent, Satan. We're 13:13 going to study in our Bibles about Satan and why he was cast 13:19 out of heaven and why he's here on this earth causing so much 13:22 trouble. Liam, you're going to do our first reading today. 13:26 Could you read Ezekiel 28:14-15 please. 13:31 You were the anointed cherub who covers. I established you 13:37 You were on the holy mountain of God. You walked back and 13:43 forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in your 13:49 ways from the day you were created till iniquity 13:54 was found in you. 13:55 Mmm. So Satan was an angel who had a very exalted position in 13:58 heaven. He was the leader of the angels. The text we just 14:02 read said he was perfect. He was next to Christ and was 14:06 highly honored by God. Satan was full of wisdom and he was very 14:11 beautiful. I'm wondering Ella, can you please read for us in 14:16 Isaiah 14:12. 14:20 How you have fallen from heaven O Lucifer son of the morning 14:24 How you are cut down to the ground you who 14:28 weakened the nations. 14:29 So what does that verse tell us? What was Satan's name while he 14:34 was in heaven? Lucifer. It was Lucifer. I wonder why Lucifer's 14:38 name changed. Nick, can you please read for us 14:41 Isaiah 14:13-14 please. 14:45 For you have said in your heart I will ascend into heaven. 14:51 I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will also sit on 14:55 the mount of congregation on the farther side to the north. 14:59 will ascend above the heights of the clouds. 15:01 I will be like the most high. 15:03 Oh, sounds like he had the "I" disease. So Lucifer became 15:08 proud and started thinking only of himself. He became unhappy 15:12 with the position that God gave him in heaven. He wanted to be 15:15 like Christ and have His position. He was very jealous. 15:19 God knew what happening. Can we hide anything from God? No. No 15:23 He knows everything. The angels pleaded with Lucifer to stop 15:27 being selfish and thinking only of himself and to start 15:30 worshipping God as the supreme ruler and accept Christ's 15:35 special position. But this made Lucifer even more determined 15:39 to continue to sow the seeds of discontent. Lucifer complained 15:43 to the other angels how unfair God was. He was very unhappy 15:48 about God's rules. Lucifer worked in secret spreading his 15:52 discontent and doubt to the other angels about God's love. 15:56 God bore long with Lucifer. Lucifer could have gone any time 16:00 and repented to God and God would have forgiven him but 16:05 Lucifer's pride got in the way. Even when he deceived many 16:09 angels to come onto his side. He told them they had gone far 16:15 too far and that they would not be forgiven by God. Was that a 16:20 lie? It was a big lie because God would have forgiven them 16:24 if they had said they were sorry and they had repented. I want us 16:29 to read our memory verse together in 1 John 1:9. It's a 16:34 very important verse that tells us about how much God loves us. 16:39 Have you got that there? Let's read that together. If we will 16:45 confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins 16:51 and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So God will 16:55 forgive us if we're truly sorry. Isn't that wonderful. 17:00 But Lucifer was so mysterious and so clever in his deception 17:03 that at times even the angels were confused at what Lucifer 17:08 was doing. But let's read what the result of all this was. Kate 17:11 you've got Revelation 12:7 for us to read please. 17:14 And war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought 17:21 with the dragon and the dragon and his angels fought. 17:25 Mmm. So there was a war. So who do you think Michael was 17:30 that he was fighting against. God and Jesus, yeah. So there 17:35 was war between Jesus and the good angels and Lucifer or the 17:40 dragon and the angels that chose to follow Lucifer. Nothing like 17:45 this had ever happened in heaven before because heaven was 17:49 perfect. Let's look at our Torch Light, Mrs. White's writings and 17:54 see what she can shine on that verse for us. Sarah, you have 17:58 that for us. Can you read it? 18:01 Satan was warring against the law of God because he was 18:06 ambitions to exalt himself and unwilling to submit to the 18:10 authority of God's Son, heaven's great commander. 18:13 Mmm. So Satan had gotten to a place where he didn't want to 18:18 follow God's law anymore. So what did God do with Lucifer and 18:22 the disharmony that was going on in heaven. Ben, you're going 18:26 to read that for us in Revelation 12:9. 18:31 So the great dragon was cast out that serpent of old called the 18:35 devil and Satan who deceives the whole world. He was cast to the 18:39 earth and his angels were cast out with him. 18:41 Mmm. So what did we just read? Ben what were some of the names 18:45 that were given to Lucifer? 18:47 Um Satan, the devil, the dragon. 18:51 Mmm and the serpent. Yes. And where was he cast to? Earth. 18:55 Earth. So is that why he was in that tree tricking Adam and Eve? 19:00 Yeah. Do you think God was very sad when Lucifer left? He was 19:04 because a lot of those angels that left heaven, they were their 19:08 friends and they were really sad that they had to go. But 19:12 Satan rebelled against God. But you know what, God would have 19:17 forgiven him if he had repented but Satan chose not to. So why 19:21 did God not just zap Satan and destroy him so sin wouldn't 19:25 enter the earth? Auntie Cecily you've got that for us in 19:28 1 John 4:8. 19:30 He who does not love does not know God for God is love. 19:35 Mmm. So the government of God is based on love. If God had 19:39 immediately destroyed Satan, some would have served God in 19:44 fear rather than love. God had to let sin run its course to 19:49 expose Satan's true nature and the terrible consequences of sin 19:53 When Jesus came to this earth to die for our sins, did Jesus 19:57 win the war for us? He did. He won the war for us. Satan at the 20:02 end of time will eventually be destroyed. But until then Jesus 20:06 asks us to do something to protect us from temptation. 20:10 So let's read what Jesus asks us to do to protect us from Satan 20:14 while he roams this earth. And Sarah, you had that verse for us 20:19 in Ephesians 6:11. 20:24 Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand 20:28 against the wiles of the devil. 20:29 Right. So what does God ask us to do? Put on the armor of God. 20:34 Okay. Auntie Cecily you've just got a little bit for us to read 20:39 in Ephesians 6:14-16. 20:46 Stand therefore having gird your waist with truth, having put on 20:51 the breastplate of righteousness and having shod your feet with 20:57 the preparation of the gospel of peace. Above all taking the 21:02 shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the 21:07 fiery darts of the wicked one. 21:11 Mmm. So let's have a look at that on our felt board. Auntie 21:13 Cecily, could you put those pieces of the armor on for us. 21:16 The waist of truth means we need to wrap the truth around us. 21:21 Thanks Auntie Cecily. And the breastplate of righteousness 21:25 means that when we ask God for forgiveness of our sins He's 21:29 really going to forgive it and we need to believe it. The feet 21:34 we've shodden our feet with the gospel, means wearing our gospel 21:39 shoes, helps us have sure footing in our walk with Jesus. 21:45 And the shield of faith protects us from the fiery darts from 21:49 Satan. Can we name some of them? What are some of the things up 21:54 here that Satan's throwing? Hatred, pride, cheating yes. 22:00 Jealousy, pride yeah. We want to deflect these with our shield 22:06 don't we? Now Ella, you have a reading for us in Ephesians 6 22:11 verses 17-18. 22:14 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit 22:18 which is the word of God: praying always with prayer and 22:23 supplication in the Spirit being watchful to this end with 22:27 all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. 22:32 Aw, thank you. Auntie Cecily can you put those final two pieces 22:36 on for us so we have the helmet of salvation which protects our 22:40 minds and we have the sword of the Spirit, which is the word. 22:46 We need to read our Bibles every day. So that's the whole armor 22:52 of God. Thank you boys and girls for joining us today in reading 22:56 the Bible. It was great to have you along. Ask the Lord every 23:00 day to help you put on the whole armor of God. God loves 23:03 you and He wants to help you in every way He can to enable you 23:08 to walk with Him and protect you from Satan's snares. In our 23:11 Bible study next Sabbath we are going to learn about two boys 23:16 and how their obedience affected their own lives and the lives of 23:20 those around them. 23:24 When we spend time with God on the Sabbath we get to know Him 23:27 better and grow spiritually as Christians. One way to get to 23:31 get to know Him is to read our Bibles. Our Bibles teach us how 23:34 to live for Jesus. We want to encourage you to read your Bible 23:40 not only on the Sabbath day but every day. Auntie Nat would you 23:45 tell us about the devotional that relates to our study today. 23:49 Yes I'd love to. We have a seven day devotional study 23:55 available on Satan's Fall. This is the subject that we studied 24:00 together today. The devotional expands on what we have just 24:03 learned. You can download it free from our website which is 24:07 www.adaywiththeking.com. This will help you to read your Bible 24:11 every day and to spend time getting to know God. Auntie 24:14 Cecily, shall we go over our memory verse we learnt today 24:18 in our study. 24:19 Yes. Are you ready to read it all together. 1 John 1:9. 24:22 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our 24:30 sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 24:35 Auntie Nat are you ready to sing our blessing song 24:39 to the children? 24:41 Yes. Let's do that now. 24:47 ¤May God bless you and keep you. And fill your heart with love¤ 24:56 ¤May God guide and protect you And watch you from above¤ 25:07 ¤And Sabbath after Sabbath we greet this day of rest¤ 25:17 ¤The day the King of Glory has sanctified and blessed¤ 25:26 ¤Goodbye my friend till we meet again for another day with the¤ 25:37 ¤King¤ Goodbye, see you next Sabbath. 25:41 ¤ ¤ |
