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.
