00:01 Hello there. Happy Sabbath.
00:03 Come on in. We're about to meet with the King. 00:05 ¤ ¤ 00:53 Hello everyone. Hello Auntie Nat 00:55 Hello Auntie Cecily. Are you 00:57 excited about our worship time today? 00:59 I am and I know the children are 01:01 excited too about all the boys and girls from all around the 01:04 world who have joined us, aren't you? Yes. Yes. Now Auntie 01:08 Nat I know you want to send a big hello to some people who are 01:11 watching our program each week. 01:13 Yes. A little bird has told me that there are people watching 01:16 us in England. Oh hello. 01:19 If you are watching us from England or anywhere else in the 01:22 United Kingdom send us an e-mail to dwk@3abnaustralia. org. au to 01:25 say hello. We would love to hear from you. Our address is 01:28 dwk@3abnaustralia. org. au. 01:30 Auntie Nat. It's so good to have an extended lounge room where 01:34 we have children from all around the world joining us. Speaking 01:38 about hello, hello Teddy. How are you? Wouldn't know his 01:41 his floppy ears. They actually have to have help to sit up 01:45 don't they? Kate would you like to say a prayer for us before 01:49 we commence our worship time together. 01:52 Dear Jesus, thank you for the Sabbath. Please be with us while 01:56 we're studying and thank you for bringing us safely through 02:00 the week. In Jesus' name. Amen. 02:02 Amen. Thank you Kate. Auntie Nat how was your week? 02:06 Well I've had a really busy week in my garden, but I am glad that 02:12 the Sabbath is here and I so enjoy it because we can rest. 02:16 Yes. It's great to just stop and set aside our regular work and 02:21 spend some time with the Lord isn't it? 02:25 Aunt Cecily, I'm glad it's Sabbath because we don't have 02:28 to do any homework. 02:30 (Chuckles) That is a blessing isn't it. And speaking of 02:34 blessings, we have our blessing box here. Ruth would you like 02:38 to open our blessing box and tell us a way that we can bless 02:42 somebody during the Sabbath? 02:44 Take some friends and sing to the residents at a nursing home. 02:51 Oh isn't that a lovely thing to do. Wow. Thank you. And you know 02:57 if you had a musical instrument you could all come together with 03:02 your choir and musical instruments and you could 03:04 have a concert, couldn't you? Do you have a musical talent 03:08 that you could share with someone to tell them about 03:11 Jesus? What are your favorite songs about Jesus that you like 03:15 to sing or play on a musical instrument? And if you feel that 03:19 you can't sing or play a musical instrument, you could 03:22 always tell a poem or read a Bible verse to the people in the 03:27 nursing home, couldn't you? Ruth what do you like to play 03:30 or sing? 03:32 Well I like to play _good on the piano. 03:37 Oh so you're a pianist. Lovely. That sounds great. Wouldn't it 03:42 be a blessing to be able to share that with some other 03:46 people. Yes. We can just show them how much God loves them. 03:50 Sometimes a song Auntie Cecily about Jesus can be very 03:53 powerful and touch someone that a sermon or words can't. 03:55 Yes that's true. 03:58 Now Auntie Cecily you've been sharing with us some amazing 04:01 blessings about Jesus and his second coming. Would you like 04:03 to tell us about that today? 04:04 Yes, sure. Do you remember our discussion about the coming of 04:09 Jesus and how it's going to be a very noisy event. We've learned 04:14 that no one's going to miss it. Now later in our Bible story 04:18 we're going to learn about a young lady named Ruth. We'll 04:23 follow her mother-in-law Naomi back to Canaan. Ruth loved Naomi 04:28 and she decided that Naomi's God was worth following. Just like 04:33 Ruth, if we love Jesus, we won't be afraid to follow Him either. 04:38 When Jesus comes with great power and glory and all the 04:43 noise, we won't need to be afraid if we love Him with all 04:48 our hearts. God will protect us and keep us safe. We're told 04:54 in Revelation 6:15-17 that those who don't love Jesus will want 04:59 the rocks to fall on them and hide them. But Isaiah 25:9 tells 05:04 us that those who love Jesus will receive Him with gladness 05:09 and joy meaning we'll be so happy to see him we won't be 05:13 afraid. Remember 05:15 to believe and claim the promises in the Bible and 05:19 prepare your hearts for Jesus' return. 05:23 Thanks Auntie Cecily for sharing that with us. I am so looking 05:26 forward to when Jesus comes to take us back home. And I can see 05:29 that Pastor Rick has joined us again. Thank you Pastor Rick. 05:32 You're such a blessing to us. Thank you for joining us again. 05:35 So glad to be here again playing 05:37 music and praising God. And I understand you're learning about 05:42 Ruth from the Bible. We have a song about Ruth. 06:28 Pastor Rick, can we please sing When the Way is Rough and Steep? 06:34 That's a great song and it's a song that moves along pretty 06:37 fast. It goes like this. 07:09 Sing it again. 07:37 Pastor Rick, can we please sing Redeemed? 07:40 Aw, that's a beautiful song, Bethany. Thanks for choosing 07:43 that one. 08:51 Thanks Pastor Rick. We always enjoy having a sing along 08:54 with you. Now it's story time again with Dr. John. Wonder what 08:59 he has for us today? 09:02 Hello boys and girls. I'm Dr. John and welcome to story 09:06 time and welcome to boys and girls everywhere who are 09:10 watching and listening. A little boy was born in the Solomon 09:15 Islands. He was as black as black as his father who was a 09:21 cannibal who had given it up and he said this little boy I'm 09:26 going to call him No Strings because they used to have these 09:32 special strings made from vines and the devil used to tie them 09:37 to himself with the strings and so he was called No Strings 09:44 which we know as Cata Arangaso And he grew up to be a fine boy 09:50 and well educated. You probably don't know what he's doing there 09:56 and it's what we call a computer in the 1920s, a typewriter. He 10:02 learned to type and he finally became a pastor. Can you see his 10:07 kind face? And he became a leader. And during the war a 10:13 nasty officer, Officer Thomas, came to his village and he said 10:19 Cata, Cata Arangaso, we want to come here and use your school 10:24 house tomorrow and we're going to have a trial for some 10:29 Japanese prisoners and we want you to be the translator. Oh sir 10:34 you can do it today, you can do it the day after tomorrow but 10:39 tomorrow is Sabbath. Hah, Sabbath. You will be there 10:47 you will translate or else. He said Sir, I'm sorry. He stood up 10:54 tall, he looked him in the face, I serve God and tomorrow is his 11:00 Sabbath. We'll see about that. He took him and he laid him over 11:08 a big 44 gallon drum and he ordered the soldiers to flog him 11:13 until the blood poured out. And then he said now will you 11:19 interpret, now will you open your school tomorrow. He said 11:26 sir I serve God. God first and you second. Right I will shoot 11:33 you. They took him and they tied him to a coconut tree and they 11:40 lined up the soldiers with their rifles and Officer Thomas 11:46 said I will count one, two three and when I say three, you 11:51 shoot and get him in the heart. And Cata thought this was his 11:59 last day on earth. And he stood there and the officer said one, 12:06 two, (lips moving), no sound came out. Uh-hum_. 12:14 I'll do it again. One, two, (lips moving). He had the wrong 12:22 time. He didn't talk for two days and they threw him in 12:27 jail. And he was there with a sore back, so frightened 12:33 because he'd almost been shot. And a tall man with a set of 12:39 who walked right through the gate up to the prison, opened 12:45 the door and said Cata Arangaso. Wake up. Cata jumped up. Oh who 12:50 are you. Come with me. Unlocked the door, took him out, took him 12:55 down the path down to the lagoon There was a canoe. He said, 13:00 Start paddling and go. And off he went. You know they never 13:06 ever saw that man again. He was an angel. The keys had stayed 13:11 next to Officer Thomas all night You know Cata was more than 13:17 brave. He saved the lives of 214 airmen whose planes had crashed. 13:22 And if you go to the museum here in Couranbong, I'll read it for 13:28 you. Air Force Association, California Wing, citation of 13:32 merit to Cata Arangaso for bravery in leading over 200 13:37 Allied Soldiers to safety through enemy lines. 13:43 And Cata he went all over the world telling his story and I 13:48 got this yesterday and I polished it up because it is a 13:52 tribute to a very important man. Pastor Cata Arangaso became one 13:58 of the greatest missionaries in the entire Pacific Ocean. 14:03 Thank you boys and girls. 14:04 Hi boys and girls. Welcome to our Bible study. If you haven't 14:08 got your Bibles ready yet, go get them now so you can follow 14:12 along with us. Bethany, can you please say a prayer for us? 14:16 Yeah. Dear Father, please send your Holy Spirit to us so we can 14:20 understand what we are reading in Your word. We love you Lord, 14:24 we surrender our hearts to you. In Jesus' name. Amen. 14:27 Amen. Now Kate there was a character in the Bible that we 14:31 studied about last Sabbath. Who was that? Samson. Samson. And 14:34 did he live a life that God intended him to live? Nope. 14:37 No, he didn't. But eventually God got his heart so in the end 14:42 it turned out okay. Today we're going to look at a new book in 14:47 the Bible, the book of Ruth. And we're going to start our 14:50 reading off with you Anna. Can you please start in Ruth 1:1-2. 14:55 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled that there 14:59 was a famine in the land and a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, 15:03 went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his 15:07 two sons. The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his 15:11 wife was Naomi and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and 15:15 Chilion-Ephrathites of Bethlehem in Judah. And they went to the 15:20 country of Moab and remained there. 15:21 Thanks Anna. So we have this family who were living in 15:26 Bethlehem, Judah and because of a famine they decide to leave 15:29 Judah and go to Moab. Now Aunt Cecily can you show us that on 15:33 the map please. There's Bethlehem there and we think 15:36 that they probably went that way and down into Moab. Thank you. 15:42 Okay. Let's continue reading. Matthew can you please read 15:45 Ruth 1:3. 15:46 Then Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left, and her 15:51 Mmm. And we don't know when this happened, whether it was just 15:56 soon as they arrived or a little time later. Let's see what 16:00 happens next. Bethany, can you read Ruth 1:4. 16:05 Now they took wives of the women of Moab; the name of the 16:10 one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth and they dwelt 16:14 there about 10 years. 16:16 Mmm. So after Elimelech dies Naomi and his sons choose to 16:20 stay in Moab. They don't go home they choose to stay and they 16:24 stay for 10 years and they married Moabite women. Okay, 16:29 Kate, can you please read Ruth 1:5. 16:30 Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived 16:35 her two sons and her husband. 16:37 Thanks Kate. So has Naomi had a good time in Moab? No, she 16:42 hasn't. She's lost her husband and she's lost her two sons. But 16:47 you know what? Naomi finds out that the famine in Bethlehem is 16:51 over and she wants to return. So not long into their journey 16:55 Naomi decides that it would better if her daughters-in-laws 16:59 stayed in their own country and then they'd be free to marry 17:02 again. J J can you please read Ruth 1:14-15. 17:09 Then they lifted up their voices and wept again and Orpah kissed 17:13 her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her and she said, Look 17:20 your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. 17:27 Return after your sister-in-law. 17:28 Thanks J J. So Orpah chooses to stay in her country but Ruth 17:33 doesn't want to stay in Moab. Let's continue reading and see 17:39 what she says. Aunt Cecily can you please Ruth 1:16-17. 17:43 But Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave you or to turn back 17:49 from following after you. For wherever you go I will go and 17:53 wherever you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, 18:00 and your God my God. Where you die I will die and there will I be 18:05 buried. The Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death 18:10 parts you and me. 18:13 Ruth showed great faith and reached out and believed Naomi's 18:18 God. Anna, can you please read Ruth 1:19. 18:21 Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem and it 18:25 happened when they had come to Bethlehem that all the city was 18:30 excited because of them and the women said, Is this Naomi? 18:34 Mmm. So we're happy to have Naomi back. Yes. They were, 18:38 weren't they. And they arrived at harvest time. Okay, Matthew 18:44 can you please read Ruth 2:3-5. 18:48 Then she left and went and gleaned in the field after the 18:50 reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field 18:54 that belonged to Boaz who was of the family of Elimelech. Now 18:58 behold Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, The 19:01 Lord be with you. And they answered him, The Lord bless 19:05 you. Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the 19:09 reapers, Whose young woman is this? 19:14 Mmm. So Ruth decides, with Naomi's permission, to go and 19:17 find some grain in someone's field. Boaz turns up at his 19:20 property to see how his reapers and harvesters are going and 19:24 notices a strange woman in his field and wonders who it is. 19:28 Bethany, can you please read Ruth 2:6-7. 19:34 So the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered and said 19:36 It is the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from 19:40 the country of Moab. And she said, Please let me glean and 19:43 gather after the reapers among the sheaves. So she came and has 19:47 continued from morning until now, though she rested a little 19:50 in the house. 19:51 Mmm. So let's see what Boaz says to her. Kate, can you read 19:54 Ruth 2:8-9 please. 19:56 Then Boaz said to Ruth, You will listen, my daughter, will 20:02 not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, 20:07 but stay close by my women. Let your eyes be on the field which 20:11 they reap and go after them. Have I not commanded the young 20:17 men not to touch you and when you are thirsty go to the 20:20 vessels and drink from what the young men have drawn. 20:24 Thanks Kate. So Boaz wants to make sure that Ruth is safe and 20:29 wants her to come to his field only so he can make sure that 20:34 she's not harmed. Caleb, can you read Ruth 2:10-12? 20:38 So she fell on her face, bowed down to the ground and said to 20:43 him, Why have I found favor in your eyes that you should take 20:47 notice of me since I am a foreigner. And Boaz answered and 20:52 said to her, It has been fully reported to me all that you have 20:57 done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband 21:01 and how you have left your father and your mother and the 21:05 land of your birth and have come to a people whom you did 21:10 not know before. The Lord repay your work and a full reward be 21:15 given you by the Lord God of Israel. Under His wings you have 21:20 come for refuge. 21:21 Thanks Caleb. So Ruth's kindness to her mother-in-law and the 21:26 sacrifice that she made in leaving her old life behind and 21:30 in following Naomi's God was very well known in Bethlehem. 21:33 God wants people just like Ruth to come to the knowledge of Him. 21:38 Let's look at our Torch Light that Mrs. White shines some 21:42 light on this verse that we've read. Thanks Auntie Cecily. 21:46 No distinction on account of 21:49 nationality, race or caste is 21:53 recognized by God. He is the maker of all mankind. All men 21:59 are of one family by creation and all are one through 22:04 redemption. Christ came to demolish every wall of petition 22:07 to through open every compartment of the temple 22:12 courts that every soul may have free access to God. His love is 22:18 so broad, so deep, so full that it penetrates every way. It 22:24 lifts out of Satan's influence those who have been deluded by 22:28 his deceptions and places them within reach of the throne of 22:34 God, the throne encircled by the rainbow of promise. In Christ 22:39 there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free. 22:43 Wow. Thanks Auntie Cecily. God is so good! We're all going 22:46 read our memory verse together. Can you all go back to Ruth 1:16 22:50 Let's read that together. 22:52 For wherever you go I will go, and wherever you lodge I will 22:59 lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God my God. 23:05 So Ruth chose by faith to believe in God. Let's find out 23:10 what happens next in the story. Now Naomi wanted to do a bit 23:15 of matchmaking and secure Ruth's future. Let's read what she does 23:20 Matthew, can you read Ruth 2:3-5 for us please. 23:25 Now Boaz, whose young women you were with, is he not our 23:31 relative? In fact he's winnowing barley today at the threshing 23:35 floor. Therefore, wash yourself and anoint yourself, put on your 23:39 best garment and go down to the threshing floor. But do not 23:42 make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and 23:45 drinking. Then it shall be that when he lies down that you shall 23:49 notice the place where he lies. You shall go in, uncover his 23:52 feet and lie down and he will tell you what you should do. 23:55 And she said to her, All that you say to me, I will do. 24:00 Mmm. So Ruth did what her mother-in-law instructed and 24:04 let's see what happens next. Bethany, you're going to read 24:07 Ruth 3:8-11. 24:08 Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled and turned 24:12 himself and there a woman was lying at his feet. And he said, 24:16 Who are you? So she answered. I am Ruth your maidservant. Take 24:20 your maidservant under your wing for you are a close relative. 24:24 Then he said, Blessed are you of the Lord, my daughter, for you 24:27 have showed more kindness at the end that at the beginning in 24:31 that you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich. And 24:35 now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you 24:38 you request for all the people of my town know that you are 24:41 a virtuous woman. 24:42 Mmm. So really Ruth proposes to Boaz and if we were to read 24:46 chapter four of Ruth, it tells us that Boaz had to do a bit of 24:50 negotiation with the elders of the town, but Boaz sorts it all 24:54 out and Boaz marries Ruth and they have a baby and they 24:59 call him Obed who was the grandfather of David. Naomi is 25:04 blessed as her sadness of losing her husband and her sons is 25:08 then turned to joy as she celebrates the birth of her 25:11 grandson. Thank you boys and girls for reading along with us. 25:14 We have a devotional available that goes into more depth than 25:17 what we studied today. Here's how you can get that. 25:21 Hey boys and girls. Like Auntie Nat said, you can download our 25:26 devotional free from our website at www.adaywiththeking.com 25:31 Hey Nick, don't forget about Teddy. 25:33 Oh yes. While you're there you can visit Teddy's blog. He's 25:37 posted some videos of his intense training for the show. 25:41 Boys and girls, we want to hear from you. 25:43 Send us an e-mail at dwk@3abnaustralia.org.au 25:45 on how you're enjoying the show. So hop online today. 25:48 Thanks Sarah and Nick. Yes, we'd love to hear from you. Auntie 25:52 Nat can you tell us what we're going to study about next week? 25:56 Yes. Next Sabbath we're going to study about a little boy who 26:00 loved God with all his heart. I wonder if you can work out who 26:04 that is. We look forward to studying that with you next week 26:07 Aunt Cecily shall we go over our memory verse that we learned 26:09 today in our Bible study. 26:12 Yes, let's do that. Are you ready children? 26:13 Let's read together. 26:31 Guess what, Auntie Nat. Worship time's nearly over again. 26:35 What, already? Our time goes by so quickly. Caleb, what did you 26:39 learn today about the King? 26:41 I learnt that Jesus will protect us and keep us safe. 26:43 Yes He certainly will. All we have to do is give our heart 26:46 to Jesus. Aunt Cecily can we sing our blessing song to the 26:50 children at home. 26:51 Yes, that's a great idea. Do you want to turn around girls 26:53 and boys and we can sing the song. 26:57 ¤May God bless you and keep you and fill your heart with love¤ 27:11 ¤May God guide and protect you and watch you from above¤ 27:21 ¤As Sabbath after Sabbath we greet the day of rest¤ 27:32 ¤The day the King of glory has sanctified and blessed¤ 27:42 ¤Good bye my friends till we meet again¤ 27:46 ¤For another day with the King¤ 27:52 Good bye. See you again next Sabbath. 27:57 ¤ ¤ |
