00:01 Hello there and Happy Sabbath.
00:02 Come on in. We're about to meet with the King. 00:52 ¤ ¤ 00:53 Hello, welcome to our worship time. I'm so glad you came back. 00:56 Come on in and join us. Hello 00:57 Auntie Cecily. It's so good to see you again. 01:00 Ah, it's good to be here, Auntie Nat. I really enjoy just having 01:05 worship with the children each Sabbath. 01:07 Yes, I can't believe another week has already gone by and the 01:10 kids are already here in the lounge room with us to welcome 01:14 the King. How are you kids? Fine, good. Ah, that's good. 01:18 Now Auntie Cecily I know that you want to say hello to someone 01:20 who's been watching the program. 01:22 Yes, I want to say hello to Cara in Victoria, Australia. Hi Cara. 01:27 I'm so happy that so many of you are joining us in worshipping 01:32 the King. Can you remember who else we need to say hello to? 01:36 Yes, it's Teddy. How are you Teddy. I'm so glad that you're on 01:40 the couch with us again. Aunt Cecily, can you please say a 01:44 prayer for us to open our worship time? 01:45 Yes, I'd love to. Let's bow our heads. Dear Father in heaven, 01:49 we thank you so much for keeping us safe during the week. And we 01:53 thank you for this Sabbath and we just pray that you would be 01:57 with us now as we worship you. In Jesus' name, Amen. 02:00 Amen. Do you know we have blessings to share with other 02:06 people on the Sabbath. It's a really good thing to do. And 02:12 Caleigh I'm going to get you to read the blessing that we can do 02:15 Take a meal around for someone who's unable to prepare food 02:22 for Sabbath. 02:24 Wow. That is such a great idea, especially for an older person 02:27 or someone who's had a difficult week and they can't 02:29 prepare food for the Sabbath. That would be great wouldn't it? 02:33 Do you sometimes help mom or dad cook a meal to take to someone 02:36 else? Can you think of a meal that you would like to prepare 02:40 with your mom to take to someone? Salad. Well I think 02:43 that would be a great blessing to someone, especially because 02:46 of circumstances they couldn't prepare a meal for the Sabbath. 02:50 I think that would be a terrific blessing. Aunt Cecily you have 02:52 a blessing to share with us as well. Can you please share that 02:55 with us? 02:56 Yes. Do you remember our talk last Sabbath, we discovered that 03:01 if we love Jesus we'll not be afraid of His second coming. 03:05 Later on we'll study about Samuel and how God spoke to him 03:10 when he was a young boy. This was to prepare him for a great 03:16 work that God wanted to do through him. When Jesus returns 03:20 He'll speak with a loud voice. You can read about that in 03:24 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. It says the Lord Himself will descend 03:30 from heaven with a shout and with the voice of an archangel 03:35 with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ will rise first. 03:40 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up 03:43 together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and 03:48 thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one 03:53 another with these words. Isn't that an amazing promise. So our 03:58 family and friends who died believing in Jesus will be 04:02 raised from the dead at Jesus' second coming and those of us 04:07 who are alive at Jesus' second coming will be taken to meet the 04:11 Lord in the air and He will take us back to heaven. Let's 04:15 comfort one another with these words just as the verse tells 04:18 us to and believe in God's promises. 04:21 Oh Amen Auntie Cecily. That message gives us so much hope 04:27 and comfort. What do you think? Yes. I think it does. Look who's 04:31 arrived. Thanks Pastor Rick for joining us again in our worship 04:36 Oh, glad to. And I heard or 04:39 understand that you're studying 04:42 Samuel. Is that right? I've a song about Samuel. This is 04:46 called Samuel. 05:43 Pastor Rick, can we sing A Little Talk With Jesus? 05:46 Ah, that's a great choice Caleb. Let's sing it together, and 05:50 we'll sing it through twice. 06:10 And again. 06:33 Pastor Rick can we please sing the Sanctuary Song. 06:40 That's a lovely song, the Sanctuary Song. 07:26 We'll sing it again. 08:06 Thanks Pastor Rick. It's always so good to praise God in song. 08:10 Now guess what? Dr. John is back with some more wonderful 08:16 stories for us. We learn so much from his stories, don't we? Yeah 08:20 Let's go and join him in his study. 08:22 Hello boys and girls. I'm Dr. John and welcome to story time 08:27 and welcome to boys and girls wherever you are. I want to tell 08:32 you the story of little Lynn Barnhart. He was born almost 96 08:37 years ago in New Zealand. He had some sadness. He lost his mommy. 08:42 He had to live an orphanage, but his daddy got him back and 08:45 trained him up. He loved Jesus. He didn't know what he wanted 08:50 to do. He was very smart. But the war came and he was sent way 08:55 up to New Guinea. He didn't want to shoot people so he became an 09:00 army medic, looking after wounded soldiers. And after the 09:04 war he thought, I like New Guinea. I want to live here and 09:09 he opened a leper hospital. And he did so much walking and when 09:14 you go to New Guinea you're either going up or you're going 09:19 down. You're going up or down. There are 800 mountain chains. 09:25 And as he was walking sometimes he'd see bzzzz. There we go an 09:31 airplane he said. I want an airplane. He loved to fly and he 09:38 begged the church leaders, Please, get me an airplane. 09:41 And finally he got his airplane. It was the happiest day in 09:49 Pastor Barnhart's life. A brand new airplane! A Cessna. And you 09:56 know, he was so happy. I have flown with him many times 10:03 sitting in that seat. He did many hours, but one day he was 10:09 up in the highlands and he was with the natives and before he 10:14 could take off again he had to get the airplane propeller... 10:21 Now airplane propellers are very important, but don't walk into 10:25 them. He had to turn it around so it would be ready to start 10:30 when he pressed the button. And as he was turning it, all of a 10:35 sudden it coughed and the propeller spun and got him in 10:40 the leg and there was only that much skin left holding his leg 10:46 on. The doctor was going to take it off. This here is the 10:52 propeller that chopped Pastor Barnhart in the leg. They were 10:55 going to take his leg off and he said please don't take my leg 11:00 off. I'll never be able to fly again. I'll never be able to 11:05 walk in New Guinea. And they had a very good doctor in New 11:10 Guinea and they carefully got the blood vessels back but his 11:14 leg was in a terrible state and they few him down to Sydney and 11:20 he got a very clever orthopedic bone doctor who put his leg back 11:25 together. And I knew that doctor very well because it was my 11:31 father, Dr. Bryan Hammond. And Dr. Hammond fixed his leg and he 11:38 was able to walk again. He had to use a stick and this was 11:44 Pastor Barnhart's stick. It has a crocodile chasing a dog. And 11:50 when he learned to walk properly again, he came to my father and 11:56 said, I want to give you a present because I'm not going 12:01 to use this stick anymore. I'm going to go back to New Guinea 12:06 and to fly my beloved plane. And you know, he did. He flew for 12:11 many, many years. He had so much experience, even though he 12:16 was only a nurse, he did operations on people who were 12:22 speared and cut and they fell down cliffs, he fixed broken 12:28 bones. He was the most marvelous doctor who was ever only a nurse 12:34 and a pilot. You know, he came back here and he flew planes for 12:40 many years until he was over 90. He had a little plane, an 12:46 ultralight and my son now owns that plane and he's fixing it up 12:50 and he can fly it around. Pastor Barnhart was the greatest of our 12:55 mission pilots and we had many wonderful pilots. He and Pastor 13:00 Winch used to fly the plane that had this propeller which is no 13:05 used. Pastor Barnhart is now sleeping in Jesus and one day 13:10 he will fly again. He's not going to need a propeller, he's 13:16 not going to need wings. He will fly with the angels and we look 13:20 forward to seeing Pastor Barnhart in the kingdom of 13:24 heaven. 13:26 Welcome back boys and girls. If you haven't got your Bibles 13:29 ready yet, go get them now so you can follow along with us. 13:31 Kate, can you please say a prayer for us to open our Bible 13:34 study. 13:35 Dear Father, thank you for the many blessings you provide for 13:40 us. We thank you for our Bibles and ask you to help us to 13:44 understand what we read. Please be with the children who are 13:48 watching at home. In Jesus' name Amen. 13:51 Amen. Thanks Kate. Now Bethany we studied about two people last 13:56 Sabbath. Who were they? 13:58 Ruth and Naomi. 13:59 And what happened? 14:00 Ruth wanted to follow Naomi so Ruth could follow her God. 14:04 That was a good story wasn't it? Today, boys and girls, we're 14:08 going to a new book in the Bible and that is 1 Samuel. Now Anna, 14:12 you're going to read our first reading. We're going to read 14:14 our first reading. We're going to read about a man named 14:15 Elkanah. Can you read 1 Samuel 1:2-5. 14:22 And he had two wives; the name of one was Hannah and the name 14:26 of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children but Hannah had no 14:30 children. This man went up from his city yearly to worship and 14:34 sacrifice to the Lord of Hosts in Shiloh. Also the two sons of 14:38 Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests of the Lord were there. 14:44 And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering he 14:49 would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and 14:55 daughters, but to Hannah he would give a double portion for 14:58 he loved Hannah although the Lord had closed her womb. 15:02 Do you think having more than one wife is a good idea. No. 15:05 No. We have studied many times how much stress that causes on 15:08 a family. When the family visited the sanctuary, even 15:11 though Hannah had no children, Elkanah would give her a double 15:15 portion of the offering because he loved her so much. But let's 15:19 see what Peninnah's reaction is. Matthew can you please read 15:23 1 Samuel 1:6-7. 15:25 And her rival also provoked her severely to make her miserable 15:30 because the Lord had closed her womb. So it was, year by year 15:35 when she went up to the house of the Lord that she provoked 15:39 her; therefore, she wept and did not eat. 15:42 Mmm. So Peninnah gave her a really hard time and harassed 15:46 her so much about not having children the Bible tells us that 15:50 Hannah was miserable. Do you think that's a nice thing to do? 15:54 No. I don't think it is. So Hannah went to the door of the 15:59 sanctuary and prayed and Kate can you point to the gate of the 16:03 sanctuary of the tabernacle there. Yeah, that's probably 16:06 where she went to to pray. Okay I think that's a very good place 16:10 to go. It's always good to pray to God isn't it. Kate, can you 16:14 please read 1 Samuel 1:11. 16:17 Then she made a vow and said, O Lord of hosts, if You will 16:23 indeed look on the affliction of your maid servant and remember 16:27 me and not forget your maid servant but will give your maid 16:31 a man child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of 16:35 his life and no razor shall come upon his head. 16:38 So Hannah is promising that she will give her first child 16:42 back to the Lord if only the Lord would allow her to have 16:46 a child. Now I just read something interesting that no 16:49 razor shall come upon his head meaning that she was going to 16:53 dedicate her child to the Lord's service as a Nazarite. Now first 16:57 Eli comes across Hannah praying so fervently that he thinks that 17:02 she's drunk and he calls her on it. Let's see what Hannah's 17:07 response is. Caleb can you please read 1 Samuel 1:15, 17. 17:12 But Hannah answered and said No, my lord, I am a woman of 17:17 sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating 17:23 drink but have poured out my soul before the Lord. Then Eli 17:27 answered and said, Go in peace and the God of Israel grant you 17:31 the petition which you have asked of Him. 17:33 Okay, so Eli, the head priest, sent Hannah home with a 17:38 blessing and verse 18 tells us Hannah was no longer sad. 17:43 I think when we have great burdens like Hannah's, going to 17:47 God in prayer is a positive thing to do. Let's look at our 17:51 memory verse. We're going to go to James 5:13 and boys and girls 17:55 at home, James is in the New Testament. We're going to read 18:01 that together. So where your bookmarks are James 5:13. 18:06 Let's read that. 18:07 Is anyone among you suffering, let him pray. That is a very 18:14 good promise for us to remember. So let's see what happens next. 18:21 J J can you go back to 1 Samuel and read us 1 Samuel 1:20. 18:27 So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah 18:36 conceived and bore a son and called his name Samuel saying 18:39 because I have asked for him from the Lord. 18:43 Wow. So did God answer her prayer? Yes. Yes He did. Now 18:46 when Samuel was a small child, Hannah took him up to the 18:50 sanctuary on a yearly visit. Let's see what she says to 18:54 priest Eli. Aunt Cecily you're going to read 1 Samuel 1:26-28. 19:00 And she said, O my lord, as your soul lives my lord, I am the 19:05 woman who stood by you here praying to the Lord. For this 19:10 child I prayed and the Lord has granted me my petition which 19:16 I asked of Him. Therefore, I also have lent him to the Lord 19:20 as long as he lives he shall be lent to the Lord. So they 19:25 worshipped the Lord there. 19:28 Wow. So Hannah had such great faith to leave her child at the 19:33 sanctuary with Priest Eli. Let's see what happens next. 19:38 Something happens in the sanctuary. Anna, can you 19:42 Now the sons of Eli were corrupt They did not know the Lord. 19:48 So we know from 1 Samuel 1:3 that Eli's sons' names were 19:53 Hophni and Phinehas. They were doing unholy things in a holy 19:58 place. Priest Eli their father had neglected to reprimand his 20:02 sons and he let their behavior continue. Finally the children 20:08 of Israel complained so much to Eli about his sons that he 20:13 goes to his sons. Eli pleads but no avail, they still sin before 20:17 the Lord. In verse 27 the Bible tells us that a man of God came 20:21 to Eli to warn him of his sons' behavior, but again it all falls 20:24 on deaf ears. Okay, Bethany let's see what's happening now. 20:29 1 Samuel 2:18-21. 20:33 But Samuel ministered before the Lord even as a child wearing a 20:37 linen ephod. Moreover his mother used to make him a little robe 20:41 and bring it to him year by year when she came with her husband 20:45 to offer the yearly sacrifice. And Eli would bless Elkanah and 20:49 his wife and say, The Lord give you descendants from this woman 20:53 for the loan that was given to the Lord. Then they would go 20:57 to their own home and the Lord visited Hannah so that she 21:00 conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile the 21:05 child Samuel grew before the Lord. 21:07 Thanks Bethany. So Hannah visited her son once a year 21:10 She didn't forget about him even though she took him to the 21:14 sanctuary and she brought a robe which she had made for him. 21:17 And Priest Eli continued to bless Elkanah and Hannah and how 21:21 many more children did Hannah have. Five. She had five more 21:24 children. Kate can you please read 1 Samuel 2:26. 21:31 And the child Samuel grew in stature and in favor both with 21:39 the Lord and men. 21:40 Thanks Kate. Let's look at our Torch Light now because Mrs. 21:43 White's writings shine something on that verse for us. Caleb can 21:47 you please read that for us. 21:51 Though Samuel's youth was passed 21:55 at the tabernacle devoted to the worship of God, he was not free 22:03 from evil influences or sinful example. The sons of Eli feared 22:07 not God, nor honored their father; but Samuel did not seek 22:11 their company nor follow their evil ways. It was his constant 22:14 endeavor to become what God would have him. This is the 22:18 privilege of every youth. God is pleased when even little 22:22 children given themselves to His service. 22:24 Wow. Thanks Caleb, that was beautifully read. Isn't that a 22:28 lovely promise for us. God can use even children for his 22:32 service. So God blessed Samuel for choosing to follow Him. Now 22:36 because of the sin of Eli's family and the Israelites 22:41 following the Gods of the Canaanites, God was not 22:44 communicating or revealing Himself to His people. But 22:46 something very special happened because of Samuel's faithfulness 22:51 Let's read what happened one night when Samuel and Eli had 22:54 gone to bed. J J you're going to read that for us in 22:58 1 Samuel 3:4-7. 23:00 ...that the Lord called Samuel and he answered, Here I am. 23:07 So he ran to Eli and said, Here I am for you called me and he 23:16 said I did not call. Lie down again, and he went and lay down. 23:21 Then the Lord called yet again, Samuel. So Samuel arose and 23:27 went to Eli and said, Here I am for you called me. He answered 23:33 I didn't not call, my son. Lie down again. Now Samuel did not 23:40 yet know the Lord nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed 23:48 to him. 23:49 Thanks J J. Aunt Cecily can you please read 1 Samuel 3:8-10. 23:54 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time, so he arose and 23:59 went to Eli and said, Here I am for you did call me. Then Eli 24:04 perceived that the Lord had called the boy. Therefore, Eli 24:09 said to Samuel, Go lie down and it shall be if He calls you that 24:16 you must say, Speak Lord, for your servant hears. So Samuel 24:20 went and lay down in his place. Now the Lord came and stood 24:27 and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel and Samuel 24:33 answered, Speak for your servant hears. 24:35 Wow. So God decides to speak to Samuel. He was only a child. 24:39 What an amazing honor that was. We are told that Samuel was only 24:44 about 12 years old when this happened. So God was preparing 24:48 and going to use Samuel in a very special way to do his work. 24:51 Thank you boys and girls for reading along with us. We have 24:55 a devotional available that goes into more depth on what we 24:59 studied today. Here's how you can get that. 25:00 Hey boys and girls.

Say it with me 26:10 together boys and girls. 26:13 James 5:13. Is anyone among you suffering. Let Him pray. 26:19 J J we've come to the end of another worship time. What 26:25 did you learn from our worship today? 26:28 That Samuel had faith in God. 26:31 Yes, he certainly was faithful even though there was a lot of 26:34 evil around him. And he's a good example of what we should be 26:38 like today and that we should stay faithful, no matter what. 26:41 Yes, that's a good example isn't it? Auntie Cecily do you think 26:44 we're about ready to sing our blessing song to the children 26:47 at home? 26:48 Yes it's sad, but it's a lovely way to say good bye to everybody 26:56 So let's turn around and do that 26:57 ¤May God bless you and keep you and fill your heart with love¤ 27:12 ¤May God guide and protect you and watch you from above¤ 27:22 ¤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¤ 27:47 ¤For another day with the King¤ 27:51 Good bye. See you next Sabbath. 27:56 ¤ ¤ |
