00:01 Hello there. Happy Sabbath.
00:03 Come on in. We're about to meet with the King. 00:05 ¤ ¤ 00:52 Good day. I'm Auntie Nat. It's great you could all join us to 00:55 meet with the King. We're about to open the Sabbath. Come and 00:57 join our worship time together. 00:58 Hello Auntie Cecily. It's 01:00 wonderful that you're here with us again. 01:02 I'm so glad to be here Auntie Nat. 01:04 And it's just fantastic you too are here with us again to 01:07 welcome in the Sabbath and share the Sabbath experience with us. 01:11 And you know Teddy's been a bit restless today and so I've got 01:16 hold of him today and welcome Teddy. Auntie Cecily, would you 01:20 like to say a prayer please to open the Sabbath. 01:22 Dear heavenly Father, thank you for keeping us safe through 01:26 another week. And thank you for the Sabbath day where we can 01:30 just come aside and rest in you. We just pray a blessing on all 01:34 the boys and girls who have joined us in our worship time. 01:38 In Jesus' name. Amen 01:40 Amen. Do you know that this is a great time to reflect on our 01:44 week and count the many blessings that God has sent us. 01:47 And Caleigh you have a blessing to share with us today. 01:52 Last night my mom's friend brought me and my sister some 01:57 clothes. 01:59 Fantastic! That's a lovely surprise isn't it. Yes. You'll 02:02 have fun trying those on. Oh that's a lovely blessing. Thank 02:06 you Caleigh. And Auntie Cecily, you have a blessing to share 02:09 with us as well about our wonderful God. 02:11 Yes. We've been spending a lot of time dwelling on God's 02:16 character and when we begin to understand who God is, it helps 02:20 us to build a strong relationship with Him. So can 02:25 you help me with some of the things that we've discussed. God 02:29 is our Deliverer, He is holy, He is the I Am. God is 02:37 compassionate, our Provider and God is love. God is a God of 02:44 order and a God of mercy and He's sacrificial and He's also 02:51 our Creator. Today I want to tell you that God is long 02:57 suffering, which means that God is very patient with us. Later 03:01 on in our Bible study we're going to learn just how long 03:05 suffering God is. God put up with the children of Israel's 03:09 murmuring and complaining and rebellion and you know in the 03:13 end God called them a stiff-necked people and they 03:17 wanted to do things their way instead of God's way. We can 03:21 be a bit like that sometimes can't we. They were continually 03:26 discontented with the way God chose to lead them and even with 03:30 the many miracles that He performed, they still doubted. 03:33 Second Peter tells us that God is long-suffering toward us not 03:39 wanting that anyone of us should perish but that we all come to 03:44 repentance. God is so patient. He waits on us to finally 03:49 surrender our will to Him so that we can repent of our sins. 03:52 God doesn't want any of His children to miss the opportunity 03:57 of living eternally in heaven with Him. He loves us so much. 04:01 So you remember God is long-suffering. 04:04 Thanks Auntie Cecily for sharing that with us. We have an awesome 04:08 God don't we? We do. Do you know another way that we can worship 04:12 God on the Sabbath is to worship Him in song and we have Pastor 04:16 Rick here again with us. Thanks Pastor Rick. 04:18 Hi Auntie Nat, great to be here 04:20 again. Hi children. Let's sing My Lord Knows the Way. 05:38 Pastor Rick can we please sing The Family of God? 05:42 We certainly can. 06:10 Sing it again. 06:39 Pastor Rick can we please sing Sing and Smile and Pray the 06:42 Clouds Away? 06:44 Yes we can. This is another lovely song. 07:30 Thanks Pastor Rick. We sang some of my favorite songs today. 07:34 We've discovered a blessing also with Dr. John this week. 07:38 Let's go and have a look at that 07:40 ¤ ¤Hello boys and girls. My name is Dr. John Hammond and welcome 07:47 to Sunnyside the Australian home of Mrs. Ellen G. White. I have 07:53 some interesting stories for you Just come inside with me. You're 07:58 going to like this. 08:02 Well boys and girls, here we are inside Sunnyside, the home of 08:05 Ellen White. We've got some interesting things to see. You 08:09 come with me children. Let's have a look inside. 08:17 ¤ ¤Hi guys. Welcome back to Sunnyside. We're inside Ellen 08:21 White's bedroom. Come over here. I've got something very 08:25 interesting to show you. Now inside the bedroom, we have the 08:29 bed of course. But she did so much writing, she had a 08:32 Davenport writing desk although she did more writing on her lap. 08:36 Matthew would you like to open and find the secret compartment. 08:39 Well you're pretty smart. You could put lots of things in 08:45 there. Now Elijah open that drawer. What's wrong, won't 08:51 open. I've got to go to this side and you see, nobody goes 08:57 that far. In there is a secret compartment. I wonder what's in 09:02 there; maybe some letters that Ellen White wrote, maybe some 09:08 knitting, I don't know. Over here, this is her dressing 09:12 table and in there in the open drawer is her dressing gown. 09:17 And every house has one important thing because they had 09:24 no bathrooms. And in here we have a potty and that's when 09:30 you couldn't go out to the bathroom in the middle of the 09:32 night. See that. Wow! would you like that job? No. And over here 09:40 I want to show you. Every morning you had to fill this 09:44 with the pitcher and you had a cold, cold bath. That's how they 09:51 bathed a hundred years ago. Okay guys, come with me. Now 09:58 this boys and girls is some of the original furniture. 10:00 This is called a 10:01 chase lounge or a day lounge, so if you wanted a little rest 10:05 during the day, very comfortable but if you want some exercise 10:08 Elijah you come over here and see if you can play this organ. 10:12 It was a pump organ. You couldn't turn it on though. 10:14 There's no switch. You pump really hard and start playing. 10:21 Quite a bit different from what it is today and you had to have 10:25 very good eyes to read that music. Now I'll come into the 10:30 workroom. It's through here. Come with me guys, this is the 10:34 workroom where lots of things happened. This was where Ellen's 10:38 helpers came and they would take her writing, her writing wasn't 10:42 too bad but the spelling wasn't always the best. There's one of 10:46 the original desks. See the pile of books that she had. 10:49 And here's a desk and they would work all night while she slept 10:54 because she used to get up at three o'clock in the morning and 10:59 she started writing again, so they had to work very, very 11:03 hard. Now I hope you've enjoyed this tour but before you go I 11:06 want you to sign your name so when your great grandchildren 11:10 come here they'll look at what great grandpa and great grandma 11:14 did. So you write your name right there. (Pause) There you 11:33 are and you have recorded your names in a little bit of history 11:37 and the next time we come back we're going to do the rest of 11:41 the tour and some of it will be outside. There's some very 11:44 interesting things outside of Sunnyside. 11:47 Hi boys and girls. Happy Sabbath I hope you have your Bibles 11:50 ready. It'll be good if you can follow along with us. Come and 11:53 join us. Sarah, you're going to say a prayer for us to open 11:56 our study. 11:58 Dear Father, thank you for our Bibles. Help us to understand 12:02 what we read today. Be especially with the children who 12:05 watching and joining us in our study. Bless them this day. 12:09 In Jesus' name. Amen. 12:11 Amen. Now Sarah, do you remember what we studied about last 12:14 Yes, how God wants us to be healthy for Him. 12:17 He does and we learnt in the Bible that God wants our bodies 12:21 to be the temple for Him doesn't he. Yeah. Okay so now we're 12:25 going to start in a new book of the Bible. We've studied Genesis 12:29 we've studied Exodus and we've studied Leviticus and now we're 12:33 going to a new book and it's called Numbers. And Ella can you 12:36 tell us from our Remnant Young Scholar Study Bible who wrote 12:39 the book of Numbers? 12:41 Moses did. 12:42 He did and how many years does the book of Numbers cover? 39 12:46 Thirty-nine years, it does. Now we're going to start in the book 12:51 of numbers in chapter three. Nick, you've got our next 12:55 reading. Numbers 3:5-8 12:57 And the Lord spoke to Moses saying, Bring the tribe of Levi 13:01 near and present them before Aaron the priest that they may 13:05 serve him. And they shall attend to his needs and the needs of 13:10 the whole congregation before the tabernacle of meeting, do 13:14 the work of the tabernacle. Also they shall attend to the 13:18 furnishings of the tabernacle of meeting and to the needs of the 13:22 children of Israel to do the work of the tabernacle. 13:26 So God is now officially making known that the Levites will now 13:30 be attending Aaron and his two sons to the care of the 13:33 sanctuary. No other person from any other tribe was allowed to 13:38 do this. Dean you're going to read for us from Numbers 9:18. 13:43 At the command of the Lord the children of Israel would journey 13:48 and at the command of the Lord they would camp. As long as the 13:52 cloud stayed above the tabernacle they remained 13:55 encamped. 13:57 So when the cloud stood still over the tabernacle, the 13:59 children of Israel stayed where they were, but when that cloud 14:02 lifted off from the tabernacle and lifted high above the 14:06 sanctuary, the Israelites knew it was time to go. Anna, can you 14:11 read for us Numbers 10:1-2 please. 14:14 And the Lord spoke to Moses saying, make two silver trumpets 14:18 for yourself. You shall make them of hammered work. You shall 14:23 use them for calling the congregation and for directing 14:27 the movement of the camps. 14:31 So did the children of Israel have mobile phones _ or loud 14:35 speakers? No. The method of communication that God chose for 14:39 directing over one million people through Moses was the 14:43 sound of trumpets. The children of Israel learned that when a 14:47 trumpet gave a certain sound it was a particular instruction for 14:50 them to follow. Ben you're going to read for us 14:53 Numbers 10:35-36 please. 14:57 So it was whenever the ark set out that Moses said, Rise up O 15:01 Lord. Let your enemies be scattered and let those who hate 15:05 you flee before you. And when it rested, he said, Return O Lord 15:10 to the many thousands of Israel. 15:13 So packing up camp and setting up camp was very special. There 15:18 was a particular procedure that Moses followed every time. Okay 15:22 let's see what happens after a few days. Sarah can you please 15:26 read Numbers 11:1-3. 15:29 Now when the people complained it displeased the Lord for the 15:34 Lord heard it and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the Lord 15:38 burned among them and consumed some in the outskirts of the 15:43 camp. Then the people cried out to Moses and when Moses prayed 15:48 to the Lord, the fire was quenched. So he called the name 15:52 of the place Taberah because the fire of the Lord had burned 15:56 among them. 15:57 Mmm. So I'm going to get Aunt Cecily to point to where they 16:01 were on the map, right down there at Mount Sinai. They had 16:05 been there for a whole year. So after three days of traveling 16:09 through the wilderness the people began to complain. They 16:13 were not happy about the discomforts of traveling. 16:16 Remember they hadn't traveled for a year up until this time. 16:20 The Lord, we just read, was angry. Now up until this time 16:23 God had been patient with their whining because they didn't 16:26 because they didn't know any better. God had pity on them. 16:29 But now they knew better than to complain. They had witnessed 16:33 His great miracles, power and mercies so their murmuring and 16:37 complaining was now considered rebellion and unfortunately God 16:41 burnt up the guiltiest of the complainers. Aunt Cecily you're 16:45 going to read for us Numbers 11:4-6. 16:48 Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense 16:53 craving. So the children of Israel also wept again and said 16:58 Who will give us meat to eat. We remember the fish which we 17:04 ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the 17:07 leeks, the onions and the garlic But not our whole being is dried 17:13 up. There is nothing at all except this manna before our 17:17 eyes. Mmm. Now the mixed multitude 17:21 were Egyptians who wanted to leave Egypt with the Israelites. 17:24 They got caught up in the Exodus from reasons of being curious or 17:28 just wanting to escape the plagues. They were partially 17:31 converted, partially on the side of God, but not fully committed 17:36 and were a constant problem to the children of Israel. 17:39 Ella, you've got our next verse that you're going to read. 17:42 Numbers 11:10 and 13-14. 17:45 Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their 17:49 families, everyone at the door of his tent; and the anger of 17:53 the Lord was greatly aroused. Moses also was displeased. Where 17:57 am I get the meat to give to all these people? For they weep all 18:01 over me saying, Give us meat that we may eat. I am not able 18:05 to bear all these people, O Lord because the burden is too 18:09 heavy for me. 18:10 Mmm. So Moses is feeling very burdened down by the complaining 18:15 of the people. He's overwhelmed. Let's see what God does. Nick, 18:19 you've got our next reading: Numbers 11:16-17. 18:22 So the Lord said to Moses, Gather to Me 70 men of the 18:28 elders of Israel whom you know to be the elders of the people 18:32 and officers over them. Bring them to the tabernacle of 18:36 meeting that they may stand there with you. Then I will come 18:41 down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit that 18:44 is upon you and I will put the same upon them and they shall 18:48 bear the burden of the people with you that you may not bear 18:52 it yourself alone. 18:53 So God is telling Moses to gather 70 elders to help him 18:58 with the burdens of managing a whole encampment. God is very 19:03 good. Dean, can you please read Numbers 11:18-20 for us. 19:08 Then you shall say to the people consecrate yourselves for 19:14 tomorrow and you shall eat meat for you have wept in the hearing 19:18 of the Lord saying, Who will give us meat to eat for it was 19:22 well with us in Egypt. Therefore the Lord will give you meat and 19:27 you shall eat. You shall eat not one day, nor two days, nor five 19:32 days, nor ten days, nor 20 days but for a whole month until it 19:36 comes out of 19:38 your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you 19:40 have despised the Lord who is among you and you have wept 19:45 before Him saying, Why did we ever come up out of Egypt? 19:50 Dear me. So God sent them quail and some ate so much of it, they 19:55 made themselves sick with fever and died. God knows best. He 20:00 wants the people to be a happy, healthy, holy people for Him. 20:04 He provided manna, angels food, imaging eating angels food, for 20:08 them to eat. But the people complained and craved after the 20:12 fleshpots of Egypt. Okay, let's continue to read about the 20:16 Israelites journey. Anna, could you please read Numbers 12:1-5. 20:21 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the 20:26 the Ethiopian woman he had married, for he had married an 20:30 Ethiopian woman. So they said, Has the Lord indeed spoken only 20:36 through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also? And the Lord 20:40 heard it. Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men 20:45 who were on the face of the earth. Suddenly the Lord said 20:50 to Moses, Aaron and Miriam. Come out, you three, to the 20:55 tabernacle of meeting. So the three came out. Then the Lord 20:59 came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the 21:04 tabernacle and called to Aaron and Miriam and they both went 21:08 forward. 21:09 So Miriam followed by Aaron complained and were jealous that 21:14 Moses had now 70 elders to help him. And they were jealous 21:19 because they weren't consulted. So in their jealousy they threw 21:22 accusation at Moses about his wife. Okay Ben can you read 21:29 Numbers 12:6-9. 21:31 Then He said, Hear now my words if there is a prophet among you, 21:36 I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision. I speak to him 21:41 in a dream. Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful 21:45 in all My house. I speak with him face to face, even plainly 21:51 and not in dark sayings. And he sees the form of the Lord. Why 21:56 then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? 21:59 So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them and he 22:03 departed. 22:04 Wow. So God is speaking to Miriam and Aaron and telling 22:07 them that Moses is His chosen servant and the decision for the 22:12 70 elders to help him was the right one to make. God was 22:16 basically affirming Moses' leadership. Sarah, can you 22:20 please read Numbers 12:10-11 and 13. 22:23 And when the cloud departed from the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam 22:28 became leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward 22:33 Miriam and there she was, a leper. So Aaron said to Moses, 22:38 O my lord please don't lay this sin on us in which we have done 22:42 foolishly and in which we have sinned. So Moses cried out to 22:47 the Lord saying, Please heal her, O God I pray. 22:51 Let's have a look at Mrs. White's writings to see what 22:55 they shine on these verses we have read. Ben can you read our 22:58 Torch Light for us please. It will explain it a bit more. 23:01 If Miriam's envy and 23:06 dissatisfaction had not been 23:08 severely rebuked, it would have resulted in great evil. It was 23:13 envy that first caused discord in heaven and its indulgence 23:18 has wrought untold evil among men. 23:21 Thank you Ben. So God does not like envy and jealousy because 23:25 that's where it all started in heaven. Remember way back when 23:30 we studied about Satan. Satan was jealous of Christ's position 23:34 Because of Aaron and Miriam's high positions, they should 23:37 have known better. 23:39 Through this experience Miriam and Aaron were humbled and both 23:43 repented. Moses their brother interceded and God healed Miriam 23:47 but the consequence of her sin was that she had to be shut out 23:51 of the camp seven days. Let's look at our memory verse in 23:59 James 3:16 and let's read that together. You got that? 24:06 For where envy and self-seeking exist confusion and every evil 24:13 thing are there. 24:14 So God knows what envy and jealousy does. He has 24:18 experienced it firsthand. God wants us to trust Him as He 24:23 knows best. He can see the end from the beginning. Do you think 24:27 the Israelites did a lot of complaining? Yes. They sure did. 24:31 We all complain. We can be a bit complaining too at times can't 24:35 we? We need to learn to trust God more. Thanks boys and girls 24:39 for joining us today. I think the word trust is a good word 24:43 to explain our study today. We have a devotional that you can 24:47 download for free from our website, which expands on what 24:50 we have learnt today. Here is information. 24:54 Hey boys and girls, like Auntie Nat said you can go onto our 24:57 website to access our daily devotionals at 25:00 www.adaywiththeking.com and while you're there you can 25:04 also check out Teddy's blog. He's posted some really cool 25:08 photos of us making the show. He also talks about it as well. 25:13 He even posted about his visit to the vet. So hop online today. 25:18 God wants us to trust Him in the directions He chooses to lead 25:22 us. God has a plan for your life and if you trust Him He'll lead 25:27 you in the way that is just right for you. When we study 25:31 out Bibles, God can reveal His will for our lives. Sabbath's a 25:36 great time to spend reading our Bibles. But God also wants us to 25:40 read our Bibles every day. Auntie Nat can you tell us 25:44 about what we're going to study next week. 25:45 Yes. We have a very intriguing study next week. Children have 25:50 a look at your Bibles and see if you can find something about 25:53 spies, because that's what we're going to study about next week. 25:57 Auntie Cecily shall we go over our memory verse that we 26:00 learnt in our Bible study today. 26:01 Yes. Do you want to read that through together children? 26:03 James 3:16-For where envy and self-seeking exist confusion and 26:13 every evil thing are there. 26:16 That's something to think about isn't it. Auntie Nat, will we 26:19 sing our blessing song to the children now. 26:22 Yes, let's do that. 26:23 Are you ready to do that children? 26:24 Turn around so the children at home can see you. 26:27 ¤May God bless you and keep you and fill your heart with love¤ 26:42 ¤May God guide and protect you and watch you from above¤ 26:53 ¤As Sabbath after Sabbath we greet the day of rest¤ 27:03 ¤The day the King of glory has sanctified and blessed¤ 27:13 ¤Good bye my friends till we meet again¤ 27:18 ¤For another day with the King¤ 27:24 Good bye, bye. See you next Sabbath. 27:28 ¤ ¤ |
