00:01 Hello there! Happy Sabbath!
00:02 Come on in, we're about to meet with the King! 00:51 Hello everyone! Hello Aunty Nat! 00:54 Hello Aunty Cecily, are you excited about 00:56 our worship time today? 00:57 I am and I know the boys and girls here 01:00 are excited about all the children joining us 01:02 from home - aren't you? YES! 01:04 It's so wonderful that you've been joining us each week. 01:08 And if you're joining in our worship from different 01:10 parts of the world or even here in our own backyard 01:14 of Australia, we'd love to hear about where you're from. 01:18 Our address is on the screen on how you can contact us. 01:22 Hello Teddy! It's lovely to have you here too 01:26 as always, isn't it? 01:28 Anna, could you please say a prayer before 01:30 we commence our worship time? Yes. 01:33 Dear Lord... Thank You for keeping us safe this week. 01:37 We thank and praise You for the Sabbath. 01:39 We thank You for the children that have joined us. 01:42 In Jesus name... Amen, Amen. Thank you Anna. 01:46 So boys and girls, how was your week? 01:49 Anything special happen? 01:51 I've just been on a holiday and saw my new baby cousin. 01:54 Oh, that's wonderful! What a blessing that must be! 01:59 And speaking of blessings, let's have a look at our blessing box. 02:03 Caleb, would you like to open the blessing box 02:06 and read us about how we can bless 02:08 somebody else this Sabbath? Yes. 02:10 "Deliver a DVD of a sermon or an encouraging message 02:14 to someone who is unable to get to church." 02:17 That would be a nice thing to do. Thanks Caleb. 02:21 DVDs are a great way to share about Jesus, isn't it? 02:25 Can you think of some people who don't know anything 02:28 about Jesus, and giving them a DVD to watch a message 02:32 about how much Jesus loves them, that could change their lives. 02:36 What do you think Aunty Nat? 02:37 Oh, I think it's a great idea, I used to have a DVD ministry, 02:41 and I know many people were blessed! 02:44 Caleb, can you think of what type of DVD 02:47 you might like to give to a friend? 02:49 A program like ours. 02:51 That sound like such a great idea, Caleb. 02:54 Sharing our program with others I'm sure would be a blessing 02:56 because it tells people about Jesus. 02:59 Aunt Cecily, you have a message to share with us as well. 03:02 Yes, for many weeks now, we've been talking about the 03:05 second coming of Jesus and how we can trust and believe 03:09 in God's promises in the Bible. 03:11 Later in our Bible study, we'll learn what can happen 03:15 to our lives if we do not repent of our sins. 03:19 When Adam and Eve sinned, it changed everything. 03:23 God didn't want sin to last forever, that's why 03:27 Adam and Eve were permanently shut out of the Garden of Eden 03:30 where the Tree of Life was. 03:32 It was the Tree of Life that could give them eternal life 03:37 when they ate the fruit, so God barred their access to it. 03:41 Also, before Adam and Eve sinned, they could talk 03:45 to God face-to-face, but after sin, 03:49 they could no longer do this. 03:51 Sin caused a barrier between God and man and then 03:55 God gave His Son Jesus to die on the cross 03:59 to break down that barrier for us. 04:02 When Jesus takes us to heaven, the Tree of Life that was in the 04:06 Garden of Eden will be restored to us. 04:09 We'll have free access to it again 04:12 and live forever with Jesus. 04:15 We'll also commune once again with God the Father, 04:19 and Jesus the Son face-to-face with no barriers in-between. 04:24 God misses us so much and wants us home with Him. 04:28 Listen to this verse found in Revelation 22:14... 04:33 It says, "Blessed are those that do His commandments 04:36 that they may have right to the Tree of Life, 04:39 and may enter through the gates into the city." 04:43 God is so good, let's believe in His promises. 04:47 Amen! Thanks Aunty Cecily for sharing that with us. 04:51 Jesus really wants us back in heaven with Him. 04:54 And I can see that Pastor Rick has joined us again. 04:57 Thank you so much, Pastor Rick. 05:00 Now Pastor Rick, I know you'd like to say hello to someone 05:02 who has been watching "A Day With the King." 05:04 Indeed I do have special friends and family who live in 05:08 Queensland who watch "A Day With the King" regularly. 05:10 "Hello to the Kelly family! 05:12 Thanks for being a part of our journey down here," 05:15 and children, I have a song called, "I Shall See the King." 05:18 Now can we sing this one together? Yes! 05:20 Okay, let's do it. 06:01 Pastor Rick, may we sing "Jesus Loves Me?" 06:04 I think we should sing that song 06:06 cause it's a beautiful song. 07:33 Pastor Rick, can we please sing, "I'm So Happy?" 07:37 Okay Amber, I'm just thinking, we can sing it if we are happy. 07:42 Are we happy? Yes! Okay, we'll sing it then. 08:17 Thanks Pastor Rick, I can't help but feel happy 08:20 when we sing songs about all 08:22 the things Jesus has done for us. 08:25 Now let's join Dr. John in his study and find out 08:29 what surprise he has for us this week! 08:32 Hello boys and girls, I'm Dr. John and welcome 08:35 to story time! 08:37 And the boys and girls watching, 08:39 it is really good to have you too! 08:41 I want to tell you a story about a boy - I don't even know 08:45 his name, how could I sit here and tell you a story 08:47 about someone with no name? 08:49 He did have a name and this story was told to me 08:52 by a missionary called "Pastor Harry Watts," 08:56 who lived in the Solomon Islands and he saw the little 09:00 boy and he knows the story. 09:02 The little boy had his prized possession, it was a canoe. 09:10 He loved to paddle in that canoe. 09:12 You know, if you and I go into that canoe, 09:14 we'd probably tip it over, but he would paddle a long 09:17 way and his mother would say, "Don't go too far." 09:20 But he actually paddled it one day from one country to another. 09:25 He didn't realize he had crossed an invisible line. 09:28 And he paddled for hours and he saw an island coming up, 09:32 and he thought, "I'm a bit thirsty and a bit hungry, 09:35 I can hear people over there." 09:37 So he paddled and his canoe scrunched up on 09:41 the beach and when he got there, he could see 09:45 the noises weren't very happy. 09:48 He could hear crying and wailing, so he walked closer 09:53 and he had walked into a funeral. 09:57 And a young mother had died and just as she was dying, 10:01 she gave birth to a little baby boy. 10:05 And you know what they were going to do? 10:07 This sounds terrible to us, but they took that baby 10:11 and they were putting it in the grave (it was still alive) 10:15 with its mother. 10:18 And the little boy said, "Hey, hey, hey, hey... 10:21 you can't do that." 10:22 They said, "Sorry, it's our custom, 10:24 we can't look after the baby." 10:26 "Oh no, no, no." 10:28 "Well do you want the baby?" 10:30 "Oh, I'm only 11, I'm too young to be a daddy." 10:37 Have we got any 11-year-old boys here? 10:40 Hey, how would you like to have a baby? 10:43 Would mum be surprised when you got home? Laughter. 10:46 I know your mum, she would be very surprised! 10:49 Well, he took the baby and he put it in the canoe, 10:53 and the sun was beating down, 10:55 and they were saying, "Bye, bye, off you go." 10:56 Oh, he said, "Just a minute," and he went and got 10:59 a banana leaf and he laid it across so the sun 11:03 wouldn't hurt the little baby, and he started to paddle. 11:06 Hours, heading home and when he got home and the canoe 11:10 scrunched up there, his mommy said, "Where have you been? 11:13 What have you been...? What's that noise?" 11:17 "Hello mommy, I've got a surprise for you." 11:21 "This is my son." "What?" 11:23 "And he was given to me today." 11:26 "They were going to bury him alive." 11:28 "You don't know how to look after a baby, 11:30 he's hungry, he's crying!" 11:32 "He hasn't been fed for hours." 11:34 The baby was screaming! 11:36 Quickly, she took the baby and she ran around the village 11:39 and she found all the mothers with young babies because 11:44 they were feeding them and she said, "This baby wants a drink." 11:48 "Oh, give it here," and gave the baby a little drink of milk. 11:51 Went to the next mother, had a bit more. 11:54 Went to the next mother, and round and round the village 11:57 it went and he started to grow. 11:59 And mother said, "I've got a a surprise for you, 12:03 go and plant a garden because he's your baby 12:08 and you're his daddy and you're going to feed him." 12:12 "He won't drink milk for long." 12:13 He went out and he dug a garden and watched it grow. 12:16 And the little boy started to eat and he called his 12:20 11-year-old father "daddy." 12:22 And then the holidays were finished and it was time to 12:27 go to school and he said, "Bye, bye mom, I'm off to..." 12:30 "Where do you think you're going?" 12:33 You're going to take your son to school. 12:36 And so the little baby went to school and all the way through 12:42 school, he had his son - the little baby with him, 12:45 and the son grew up and finally he became a strong man 12:50 and he became a Christian and his father 12:54 was only 11 years older than him. 12:58 But without that, if that boy hadn't have been a Christian, 13:03 in a Christian village where a Christian missionary 13:07 had come and taught them how to live properly, 13:10 he would have died at the age of one day. 13:14 He would have been buried alive, instead, he had a loving 13:18 father and you know, we have a loving Heavenly Father. 13:22 And He must look at us as though the devil is 13:26 burying us alive and the devil laughs but our Heavenly 13:29 Father and this one was only 11, but our Heavenly Father 13:34 has saved us from the devil. 13:36 And that is a wonderful story of the 11-year-old daddy! 13:40 Thank you boys and girls. 13:43 Welcome boys and girls, I'm so glad 13:45 you came back to our Bible study. 13:46 If you haven't got your Bibles ready yet, 13:48 go get them now so you can follow along with us. 13:51 J. J., would you like to say a prayer for us 13:53 to open our study today? Yep! Thank you. 13:56 Dear Father... Thank You for our Bibles. 14:00 Help us to understand what we read and to take it 14:02 to our heart. 14:04 Be with the children watching at home. 14:06 In Jesus name... Amen, Amen! 14:09 Now Kate, we studied about something interesting last 14:12 week, what was that about? 14:13 The Israelites demanded a king. 14:15 Yes they did and who ended up 14:16 being the first king of Israel? Saul. 14:19 Yes it was, wasn't it. 14:20 And today, we're going to study about what happened 14:23 to King Saul. 14:24 So in Saul's second year of his reign, his son Jonathan 14:28 decided to go up and attack 14:30 the Philistine garrison at Geba and was successful. 14:34 War was declared and Saul calls all the men to fight. 14:37 Matthew, can you please read 1 Samuel 13:5-7... 14:42 "Then the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel, 14:47 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen, and people 14:51 as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. 14:55 And they came up and encamped in Michmash, 14:59 to the east of Beth Aven. 15:01 When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger 15:04 (for the people were distressed), 15:06 then the people hid in the caves, in thickets, in rocks, 15:09 in holes and in pits. 15:10 And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the 15:13 land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, 15:19 and all the people followed him trembling." 15:21 Wow, so when the Israelites saw how vast the 15:25 Philistine army was, they ran and they hid 15:28 and deserted as they were So scared. 15:30 Let's see what happens next. 15:32 Bethany, can you please read 1 Samuel 13:8... 15:35 "Then he waited seven days, according to the time 15:38 set by Samuel, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; 15:41 and the people were scattered from him." 15:44 So Samuel had previously instructed Saul that he was 15:47 to wait seven days at Gilgal before war, so Samuel 15:51 could come and offer a sacrifice to God for 15:54 protection and victory for the Israelite army. 15:58 Okay Kate, can you please read 1 Samuel 13:9-12, please. 16:03 "So Saul said, "Bring a burnt offering and peace offerings 16:07 here to me." And he offered the burnt offering. 16:11 Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting 16:14 the burnt offering, that Samuel came and Saul went out 16:18 to meet him, that he might greet him. 16:20 And Samuel said, "What have you done?" 16:24 Saul said, "When I saw that the people were scattered 16:27 from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, 16:31 and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash, 16:35 "then I said, The Philistines will now come down on me 16:39 at Gilgal, and I have not made the supplication to the Lord." 16:44 "Therefore, I felt compelled and offered a burnt offering." 16:48 Hmm, so Saul made the offering because he was impatient. 16:52 Was he supposed to do the offering? No. 16:54 No. Samuel, the priest was supposed to. 16:57 But Saul told Samuel that because the army had 16:59 deserted him, he felt he had to offer the sacrifice 17:02 to try and bring his men together. 17:04 Saul, instead, should have been encouraging his men 17:08 during those seven days and leading them to seek their 17:11 hearts in repentance to God, preparing them 17:13 for the arrival of Samuel. 17:15 Let's see what Samuel says to Saul. 17:17 Caleb, can you please read 1 Samuel 13:13-14... 17:22 "And Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly, 17:26 you have not kept the commandment of the Lord 17:29 your God which He commanded you. 17:31 For now the Lord would have established your 17:34 kingdom over Israel forever. 17:36 But now your kingdom shall not continue. 17:39 The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, 17:46 and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people 17:51 because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you." 17:55 Hmm, thanks Caleb. 17:56 So Samuel is prophesying that because of what Saul did, 17:59 another king is going to take his place. 18:02 Saul did not want to repent of his sin, 18:04 but just offered excuses to Samuel. 18:07 Because of Saul's sin and unrepentant heart, 18:10 God was going to use someone else to have 18:13 the honor of defeating the Philistines. 18:15 J. J., let's see who that is. 18:17 Can you read 1 Samuel 14:6-7... 18:20 "Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, 18:25 "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these 18:29 uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. 18:34 for nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few. 18:42 So his armor bearer said to him, "Do all that is in 18:47 your heart. Go then; here I am with you, 18:50 according to your heart." Thanks J. J. 18:53 So Jonathan was a great man of faith and he was 18:56 Saul's son, and he was moved by the Holy Spirit. 18:59 He believed that God could deliver them. 19:02 Chapter 14:1 tells us that Jonathan left the Israelite 19:05 encampment without his father knowing. 19:08 So Jonathan and his servant were successful! 19:10 We are told that the earth quaking was angels from heaven 19:14 fighting for them. 19:15 Meanwhile, a watchman comes up 19:17 to Saul in the Israelite encampment and tells them 19:20 there is something strange happening over in the 19:22 Philistine encampment. 19:24 So in the confusion of Jonathan and his servant attacking 19:27 the garrison of the Philistines, they started 19:29 attacking one another. 19:31 Do you know what? God can cause the enemy 19:33 to destroy itself, we don't need to fear. 19:35 Bethany, can you please read 1 Samuel 15:1-3. 19:40 "Samuel also said to Saul, "The Lord sent me to anoint 19:44 you king over His people, over Israel. 19:47 Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of the Lord. 19:50 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: "I will punish Amalek for what 19:54 he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way 19:59 when he came up from Egypt. 20:01 Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all 20:04 that they have and do not spare them. 20:07 But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, 20:10 ox and sheep, camel and donkey." 20:13 Hmm, what a command. 20:14 You know, God was giving Saul one more 20:17 chance of being faithful and obedient. 20:20 Four hundred years before, when the children of Israel 20:23 had left Egypt, the Amalekites had attacked the Israelites. 20:27 These people were a fierce, warlike tribe and they had 20:30 committed terrible idolatry. 20:33 God had given them 400 years to repent and turn from 20:37 their sin, but they hadn't and God had been very 20:40 longsuffering with them. 20:42 So Saul assembled his army and off he went. 20:44 Kate, can you please read 1 Samuel 15:5-7. 20:49 "And Saul came down to the city of Amalek, 20:52 and lay in wait in the valley. 20:55 Then Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, get down from 20:58 the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. 21:01 For you showed kindness to all the children of Israel 21:04 when they came up out of Egypt." 21:06 So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 21:10 And Saul attacked the Amalekites, 21:12 from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is east of Egypt." 21:19 Well done Kate, there are some tricky words there isn't it? 21:22 Even Aunty Nat gets caught on those. 21:24 Okay, Caleb can you please read 1 Samuel 15:9. 21:28 "But Saul and the people who spared Agag and the best of the 21:32 sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs and all that was good, 21:37 and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. 21:40 But everything despised and worthless, 21:43 that they utterly destroyed." 21:47 Did Saul do what God had asked him to do? No. 21:50 No, Saul's prideful heart wanted to parade the evil king 21:54 in their victorious return, so Saul could be honored. 21:58 This was a custom of the surrounding nations. 22:01 But all honor was to go to who? God. 22:04 To God. They kept the Amalekites' animals so they 22:08 didn't have to give up their own animals as a sacrifice to God. 22:12 J. J. can you please read 1 Samuel 15:10-11. 22:16 "Now the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, 22:19 "I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has 22:23 turned back from following Me, and has not performed 22:28 My commandments." 22:30 And it grieved Samuel, and he cried out to the Lord 22:35 all night. Thanks J. J. 22:38 So Samuel, you know what, he loved Saul as his own son. 22:42 He had taken him under his wing and tried to teach him 22:46 to obey and love God. 22:48 But God allows us to have free choice because God 22:52 does not force us to love Him. 22:55 Saul had exercised his free choice and had chosen 22:58 not to obey God. 22:59 For this, Samuel was very sad. 23:02 Aunt Cecily, can you please read 1 Samuel 15:13-14. 23:06 "Then Samuel went to Saul, and Saul said to him, 23:10 "Blessed are you of the Lord, 23:12 I have performed the commandment of the Lord." 23:15 But Samuel said, "What then is this bleating of the sheep 23:20 in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?" 23:24 And Saul said, "They have brought them from the 23:28 Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep 23:31 and the oxen, to sacrifice to the Lord your God; 23:34 and the rest we have utterly destroyed." 23:38 Hmm, so Saul had lied to Samuel because he said he had done 23:45 everything that God had asked him to do. 23:46 But what could Samuel hear in the background? 23:48 The lowing of oxen. Yes, he could hear 23:51 the animals, couldn't he? 23:52 Let's have a look at our torch light, Anna, 23:54 and see what that shines on those verses for us. 23:58 "When called to the throne, Saul had a humble opinion 24:02 of his own capabilities and was willing to be instructed. 24:07 Had he remained humble, seeking constantly to be 24:10 guided by divine wisdom, he would have been enabled 24:15 to discharge the duties of his high position with success 24:19 and honor. Thanks Anna. 24:21 So Saul basically got a big head! 24:24 He lost his humbleness before God and he neglected 24:28 to confess his errors and sins before God, 24:30 and he became very prideful. 24:32 Let's have a look at our memory 24:33 verse found in Proverbs 16:18-19. 24:37 And let's read that together. 24:39 "Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit 24:45 before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit 24:50 with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud." 24:56 So boys and girls, we've learned today that 24:58 being prideful and unrepentant only leads to trouble. 25:02 God wants us to totally depend on Him. 25:05 Thank you boys and girls for reading along with us. 25:08 We have a devotional available that goes into more depth 25:11 on what we studied. 25:12 Here's how you can get that. 25:15 Hey boys and girls! Like Aunty Nat said, 25:17 you can download our devotionals free from 25:20 our website at: 25:25 Hey Nick, don't forget about Teddy. 25:27 Oh yes, while you're there, you can visit Teddy's blog. 25:31 He has posted some videos of 25:33 his intense training for the show. 25:35 Boys and girls, we want to hear from you. 25:37 Send us an email on how you're enjoying the show. 25:40 So hop online today! 25:43 Thanks Nick and Sarah. 25:45 Boys and girls, we'd love to hear from you. 25:48 Aunty Nat, can you tell us what 25:49 we're going to be studying next week? 25:51 Sure, yes next Sabbath we're gonna study about a giant! 25:54 We have something special to show you, 25:57 so you make sure you come back next week. 25:59 Aunty Cecily, should we go over 26:01 our memory verse that we learnt today? 26:03 Yes, are you ready children? 26:05 Let's read this together, Proverbs 16:18-19... 26:25 Guess what Aunty Nat? 26:27 Another worship time is almost over! 26:29 Ohh, I can't believe it just zooms by. 26:32 Matthew, what did you learn about the King today? 26:35 That Jesus died on the cross for us, 26:37 so that we could live forever in heaven with Him. 26:40 Oh yes, Jesus did an amazing thing for us. 26:45 He loves us so much, He wants us back 26:48 in heaven with Him. 26:49 Kids, are you ready to sing the blessing song? Yes! 26:52 So turn around and let's do that to the children at home. 27:01 May God bless you and keep you, 27:05 and fill your heart with love. 27:11 May God guide and protect you, 27:15 and watch you from above. 27:21 As Sabbath after Sabbath, 27:26 we greet the day of rest. 27:31 The day the King of Glory 27:36 has sanctified and blessed. 27:41 Goodbye my friend, till we meet again, 27:46 for another day with the King. 27:53 Goodbye! See you next Sabbath! 28:05 I can't wait to get to heaven 28:07 because I can be there with Jesus. 28:14 I can't wait to get to heaven 28:16 so I can see God's wonderful nature. 28:23 I'm looking forward to going to heaven 28:26 because there I can play with the animals. |
