00:01 Hello there, Happy Sabbath.
00:03 Come on, we're about to meet with the King 00:05 ¤ ¤ 00:51 Hello, I'm Auntie Cecily and it's so good that you could join 00:55 us to meet with the King. We're 00:57 about to open the Sabbath. Come 01:00 and join our worship time together. Hello Auntie Nat. It's 01:03 always good to see you here with us. 01:05 Thanks Auntie Cecily. 01:07 And hello boys and girls. We're glad that you're able to help 01:10 us as we meet with the King as well. And hello Teddy. You look 01:14 nice and all brushed up and ready for the Sabbath too. 01:19 Auntie Nat, could you please say a prayer for us to just ask 01:22 God to be with us. 01:25 Sure. Dearest heavenly Father, we thank you for the amazing 01:29 week You've given us this week. We ask that You be with the 01:33 children. Bless them Lord. Fill their hearts with your love 01:37 and we ask this in Jesus' name Amen. 01:40 Amen. Do you know it's a great time to reflect on our week and 01:46 just count the blessings that God has sent us. Dean 01:49 something happened during the week that you'd like to share 01:52 with us. 01:54 Um, I had a trampoline accident and my tooth got pushed up into 02:03 my gums, so I had to go to the specialist to see. And he said 02:07 that he would just wait six months for it to see if it will 02:11 come down by itself. And then we went back six months later 02:13 and then it had come down. And then I just want to thank God 02:15 for that. 02:17 Mmm. Oh that's good. I'm sure that you're happy that that's 02:20 happening too. That's good. Thank you for sharing that 02:23 with us. 02:24 Auntie Cecily you have a blessing to share with us too 02:27 about our wonderful God. 02:29 Yes. Remember how I've spoken about God's character over the 02:33 last several Sabbaths. We've discovered that God is our 02:37 deliverer, God is holy and He is the I Am. God is compassionate 02:42 and our provider. Today I want to share with you that God is 02:48 also love. Later on we'll be studying about the 10 02:52 commandments. We've studied before that the government of 02:57 God is based on love and the 10 commandments teach us how to 03:01 love. The first four commandments teach 03:04 us to love and respect God and the last six commandments teach 03:09 us to love and respect others. John 14 tells that if we love 03:14 God we'll keep his commandments. God wants us to be safe and 03:20 happy. God promises us in Proverbs 29 that we will be 03:25 happy if we keep God's law. John 3:16 is a powerful 03:30 testament to how much God loves us. God gave us his only Son as 03:36 a gift so that we could live eternally with Him in heaven. 03:41 Our heavenly Father wants his sons and daughters, you and me, 03:46 back home with Him so he can pour his love out on us. So you 03:51 remember that God is love. 03:53 Thank you Auntie Cecily for sharing that with us. Our God is 03:58 an awesome God. Yes. Do you know another way we can welcome the 04:03 Sabbath in and praise God is to sing and sing our praises to the 04:07 Lord and we have Pastor Rick here with us. Thanks Pastor Rick 04:12 Thanks Auntie Nat. Welcome 04:14 children. I'm wondering if we 04:16 could sing a song about the 10 commandments. There's a song 04:20 called The 10 Commandments Song. Let's try it. 05:19 Pastor Rick can we please sing Remember the Sabbath? 05:24 I think we can and I think it's such a good song we should 05:27 sing it through twice. 06:12 Let's sing it again. 06:55 Pastor Rick, can we please sing Whisper a Prayer? 06:59 We certainly can, what a great choice. 07:51 Thanks Pastor Rick. It's wonderful to praise God 07:55 in song. We've discovered another blessing this week 07:58 with Dr. John. Will we go and show the children what that's 08:02 all about? Yes. 08:04 Hello boys and girls. My name is Dr. John Hammond and welcome 08:10 to Sunnyside, the Australian home of Mrs. Ellen G. White. 08:16 I have some interesting stories for you. Just come inside with 08:22 me. You're going to like this. Boys and girls, welcome back to 08:27 story time. I'm going to share a secret with you. It's called 08:32 secret writing. If I open my knife and get a lemon and 08:37 carefully cut it in half. It's a nice drippy lemon that's just 08:44 what we want. And I squeeze the lemon juice into this. I have 08:52 secret ink. In fact, if I take a pen and I dip it in and I'm 09:00 going to do something and put it away. Now I'm going to try and 09:07 show you how the ink will suddenly appear. Can you read 09:14 that? No. But watch what happens when I get a hot iron and I put 09:26 it on. And the name is appearing Look what I have done. Who wrote 09:38 their secret name there when I wasn't watching. Elijah. 09:43 Wouldn't it be nice to have a Bible in secret ink. No because 09:49 God doesn't deal in secrets. He's not a secret God and Ellen 09:53 White when she was in a boat coming right across the ocean 09:58 she had a dream about a man called Mr. Forkhead who joined 10:02 the church but he belonged to a secret society and God gave her 10:08 a vision. She dreamed about this man and she wrote 50 pages. 10:13 You know when she got to Australia, Mr. Forkhead was 10:18 waiting and after a long time she had a meeting with him and 10:22 he belonged to a secret society. It was so secret nobody knew 10:27 anything about it. And one man said to Mr. Forkhead your secret 10:31 society's going to get you into trouble. Mrs. White wants to 10:35 talk to you. Ah-hah, Mrs. White will have to have a very good 10:40 thing to stop me talking about my secret society. And when she met 10:44 Mr. Forkhead she held out her hand and she shook his hand. 10:49 He jumped back like that. He said, you have a secret sign. 10:53 How did you know the secret handshake. I don't know she 10:58 said. An angel just asked me to shake your hand. And she said 11:04 I'll shake your hand again. And he jumped. He had the secret 11:10 handshake. And she said, I know a few things about you. I even 11:15 know that they call you worshipful master and nobody 11:20 should be worshipped except God. Oh, he was really shaking. He 11:26 was really shaking. And she said I know what happens when you go 11:31 to church. When you go to church I know that you have two 11:36 offering bags and in one offering bag when you're in 11:43 church you pull out the money and there's a handful of silver 11:49 coins. Well God can use your money but it's not worth very 11:54 much. But I know that when you go to your secret society you've 11:59 got another offering bag and when you have the offering time 12:04 there what sort of coins... Which do you think is worth the 12:10 most. You know he got such a fright he said I will never go 12:15 again and she said that's good and she moved her hand in a way 12:20 that was a secret sign and he said only six people in the 12:25 whole world know that sign. How did you know that? She said, I 12:30 don't know what you're talking about. An angel showed me and 12:34 you know what? He gave it all up and years later when Mrs. 12:39 White left, he wrote in her autograph book and I've got her 12:43 autograph book here. It was filled with wonderful pictures 12:48 and paintings and designs of all sorts of people who loved her 12:53 and I had a look and there was not only Mr. Forkhead's 13:00 autograph but all of his family had signed a little letter and 13:05 I will read it to you. Dear Sister White. May our dear God 13:09 bless and keep you as you journey across the Pacific Ocean 13:13 and if we do not meet again here on earth, we hope to greet you 13:19 when the Lord comes. Your friend in the blessed hope. And there 13:24 is Mr. Forkhead's beautiful signature. He never went back 13:29 to the secret meeting because God is not a secret God. He 13:33 wants us to be open and that's why our Bibles are written in 13:37 ink, not a secret ink that nobody can read. Thank you 13:41 boys and girls. 13:43 Hi boys and girls. Happy Sabbath Welcome to our Bible study. 13:46 If you haven't got your Bibles ready yet go get them so you can 13:48 follow along with us. Elijah, you're going to say prayer for 13:51 us today. Can you do that for us please. 13:54 Yes. Dear Father, thank you for our Bibles. Help us to learn 13:58 from them how much you love us. Please be with the children and 14:02 help them to understand what they are reading today. 14:04 In Jesus' name Amen. 14:06 Amen. Now Elijah can you remember what we studied about 14:09 last Sabbath? 14:11 We studied about how God can provide for us like He provided 14:15 for the children of Israel when they were in the desert. 14:19 And He provided water didn't he. And He made the bitter water 14:23 sweet and what else, what was the bread from heaven called? 14:27 It was called mana. Yeah. 14:28 So God did provide for them even though they winged and 14:31 complained a bit. But you know what, God still loved them and 14:35 He still provided for them. We just serve an amazing God. Now 14:38 Anna, you're going to start our reading off. Can you please read 14:41 for us Exodus 19:1 and 3-5. 14:45 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out 14:50 of the land of Egypt, on the same day they came to the 14:55 wilderness of Sinai and Moses went up to God and the Lord 14:59 called to him from the mountain saying, Thus you shall say to 15:03 the house of Jacob and tell the children of Israel, You have 15:08 seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I bore 15:11 you on eagles wings and brought you to Myself. Now, therefore, 15:16 if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you 15:22 will be a special treasure to me above all people for all the 15:27 earth is Mine. 15:29 Mmm. So three months after they left Egypt they arrived at Mount 15:33 Sinai and camped on the plain before the mountain. Moses went 15:37 up to the mountain to talk to God and God wanted Moses to tell 15:41 the children of Israel that if the people obeyed Him they would 15:45 be a special people, a treasure to God. So Moses went back down 15:49 to speak to the people. So the people agreed that they would 15:54 obey God. So Moses goes back up the mountain and tells him what 15:58 His people said. God then tells Moses that he is going to come 16:02 children of Israel and they have to prepare their hearts and 16:08 their minds and wash their clothes. In verse nine, the 16:12 Bible tells us that God wants to honour Moses by allowing the 16:15 children of Israel to hear God speaking to Moses so they will 16:19 be confident in Moses' leadership. Now Elijah, can you 16:22 please read for us Exodus 19:16-19. 16:26 And then it came to pass on the third day in the morning that 16:30 there were thunderings and lightening's and a thick cloud on 16:33 the mountain. And the sound of the trumpet was very loud so 16:37 that all the people who were in the camp trembled. And Moses 16:41 brought the people out of the camp to meet with God and they 16:44 stood at the foot of the mountain. Now Mount Sinai was 16:48 completely in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire. 16:52 It's smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace and the whole 16:56 mountain quaked greatly. And when the blast of the trumpet 16:59 sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke and God 17:03 answered him by voice. 17:06 Wow! It must have been a bit scary with all that noise and 17:09 lightening and smoke. I wonder what that was all about? Kate 17:12 can you please read our Torch Light and let's see what she 17:16 shines on those verses that we just read. 17:19 God purposed to make the 17:22 occasion of speaking His law a scene of awful grandeur in 17:27 keeping with its exalted character. The people were to be 17:32 impressed that everything connected with the service of 17:36 God that must be regarded with the greatest reverence. 17:41 Wow! So God wanted to impress on them that what He was going 17:45 to say was very important. He didn't want them to forget it. 17:48 And we just read about that last Sabbath haven't we about the 17:52 importance of the manna and how important the Sabbath was. So 17:55 God works in very practical ways to impress on them and impress 17:59 on their minds what he wants them to do. Okay, Ben, can you 18:02 please read Exodus 20:1-3. 18:05 And God spoke all these words saying, And I Am the Lord your 18:09 God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house 18:12 of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. 18:15 So God is reminding them he brought them out of slavery from 18:18 Egypt and there should be no other gods other than Himself. 18:22 Aunt Cecily, thank you very much for placing that first 18:25 commandment on there for us. And remember that the children of 18:29 Israel had come out of Egypt where there were so many idols 18:34 and gods. Sarah, you've got our next reading please. 18:37 Exodus 20:4-6. 18:39 Ye shall not make for yourself a carved image, any likeness of 18:44 anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath 18:49 or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow 18:52 down to them nor serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous 18:56 God visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the 19:01 third and fourth generation of those who hate me but showing 19:05 mercy to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments 19:10 Mmm. So Aunt Cecily has just placed our second commandment 19:12 up onto the tables of stone. God is saying that we are to make no 19:16 idols or images of our so-called gods and bow down to them. We 19:20 are also not to make an idol and pretend it's the true and living 19:24 God we are worshipping. In other words, we are not to make 19:27 something to represent God and worship it. Anna, you've got our 19:31 next reading please: Exodus 20:7 19:36 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain for 19:39 the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name 19:43 in vain. 19:44 Mmm. So Aunt Cecily's got our third commandment there that 19:47 she's going to put up on our board. So God is saying that 19:50 we are not to take God's name or Jesus' name in vain, meaning not 19:54 to use their names in conversation when we're 19:57 angry, frustrated or in a careless way. Their names are 20:01 holy. This commandment even means God does not want us to 20:04 swear or curse. Okay, Dean, you've got our next reading: 20:08 Exodus 20:8-11. We've studied about this before but we're just 20:13 going to be reminded about it again. Thanks Dean. 20:16 Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days you shall 20:20 labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath 20:25 of the Lord your God. In it, you shall do no work, you, nor your 20:28 son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female 20:33 servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your 20:36 gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, 20:40 the sea and all that is in them and rested on the seventh day. 20:44 Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. 20:49 Mmm. So this is telling us that we need to remember the Sabbath 20:53 day. Isn't it interesting that God starts it off with remember 20:57 because He knows that we can forget. So we are to work for 21:01 six days and keep the seventh day, a day of rest, which is the 21:04 Sabbath. Does it say a Sabbath day or the Sabbath day. 21:10 The Sabbath day. 21:11 The Sabbath day. So it means it's a particular day. And what 21:14 day is that? Saturday. Saturday. And we have studied before that 21:17 the Sabbath was given at creation. God is speaking it 21:20 audibly now because of their years of bondage in Egypt. God 21:25 wants to put the Sabbath law back into their hearts. Okay, 21:29 Elijah, you're going to read Exodus 20:12 please. 21:33 Honour your father and your mother that your days may be 21:37 long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. 21:41 Mmm. Thanks Auntie Cecily. So we have the fifth commandment 21:45 up there now. So we are to love and respect and be obedient 21:49 to our parents. Okay, Kate, you've got the next one for us 21:52 in Exodus 20:13. 21:56 You shall not murder. 21:59 That's pretty self-explanatory isn't it. Yeah. Thanks Auntie 22:02 Cecily. She's just putting up the next, sixth, commandment 22:07 up there for us. Okay, Ben Exodus 20:14 please. Can you 22:12 read that? 22:14 You shall not commit adultery. 22:15 Mmm. Thanks, Auntie Cecily. That's the seventh commandment. 22:19 So this is for the adults that they remain faithful in their 22:22 marriage. Okay, Sarah, you've got our next reading: 22:27 Exodus 20:15. 22:29 You shall not steal. 22:32 Mmm. Thanks Auntie Cecily. So that's the eighth commandment. 22:34 This is something that we see an awful lot today in our 22:37 society. It's everywhere. We need to be honest and we need 22:41 not to take advantage of people. And above all we are not to 22:45 physically steal from others. We need to do this both at home 22:51 and at school and at work and play. Okay, Anna, Exodus 20:16. 22:57 Ye shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 23:01 Mmm. Thanks Auntie Cecily. So we've got there commandment 23:04 number nine. So bearing false witness also means lying. We are 23:10 not to lie. We have studied in past studies what a mess a lie 23:13 can do, didn't we. We studied about that. It also means that 23:17 we should not tell tales or gossip about people. And Dean, 23:20 you've got our next reading: Exodus 20:17. 23:24 You shall not covet your neighbor's house, you shall 23:29 not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his 23:34 female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey. Nor anything that 23:38 is your neighbor's. 23:40 Thanks Auntie Cecily. So she's just popped up the tenth 23:42 commandment. So we are not to want what other people have. God 23:46 does not want us to waste our time dreaming or coveting about 23:50 owning this or that that we see on TV or in a magazine or at 23:55 someone else's place. God wants us to be content with what we 23:59 have because we've just discovered that God does 24:01 cater for our needs doesn't He? Yeah. Do you know, the ten 24:06 commandments were not just for the children of Israel. God 24:09 honored them by making them guardians and the keepers of the 24:13 law. But they were for the whole world, for you and for me. If we 24:18 were to continue reading the Bible it tells us that God asked 24:22 Moses to build an altar and offer oxen on it to commemorate 24:27 this special promise or covenant that the children of Israel made 24:30 with God that they will keep the ten commandments. Let's read our 24:33 memory verse together and that is found in John 14:15. And 24:39 children at home, John is in the New Testament. Okay, so let's 24:45 read that together. 24:47 If you love me, keep my commandments. 24:51 Wow. So when we keep the ten commandments we are letting God 24:56 know how much we love him. Thank you boys and girls for reading 25:00 along with us. Remember that God loves you very much. God gives 25:04 us laws to follow and protect us and make us happy. Ask God today 25:08 to help you keep his commandments. 25:09 We have a seven day devotional available that goes into more 25:13 detail on what we studied today. Here's how you can get that. 25:17 Hey boys and girls, like Auntie Nat said, you can go onto our 25:21 website to access our daily devotionals at 25:24 www.adaywiththeking.com and while you're there you can 25:28 also check out Teddy's blog. He's posted some really cool 25:32 photos of us making the show. He also talks about it as well. 25:36 He even posted about his visit to the vet. So hop on line today 25:40 When we keep the Sabbath we get to know God better and realize 25:45 how much he wants to build a relationship with us. One way to 25:49 strengthen our walk with the Lord is to read and study our 25:53 Bibles. We want to encourage you to read your Bibles, not only on 25:58 the Sabbath day but on every day. Auntie Nat, can you tell 26:02 us what we're going to study about next week. 26:06 Sure. Next Sabbath is going to be a very special Sabbath 26:09 because we are going to learn about some very special plans 26:12 that God gave to Moses. You must join us next week because we 26:16 have some amazing things to show you. Auntie Cecily could we go 26:19 we go over our memory verse that we learnt to day in our study. 26:23 Yes. Children are you ready to have a look at this? 26:28 John 14:15- If you love me keep my commandments. 26:33 Children are you going to sing with us our farewell song to the 26:37 children at home. Okay, let's turn around and sing our 26:40 blessing song. 26:42 ¤May God bless you and keep you and fill your heart with love¤ 26:57 ¤May God guide and protect you and watch you from above¤ 27:09 ¤As Sabbath after Sabbath we greet the day of rest¤ 27:19 ¤The day the King of glory has sanctified and blessed¤ 27:29 Good bye my friend till we meet again¤ 27:34 ¤for another day with the King¤ 27:38 Bye bye. See you next Sabbath. 27:43 ¤ ¤ |
