00:01 Hello there! Happy Sabbath!
00:03 Come on in, we're about to meet with the King! 00:53 Hello, I'm Aunty Cecily and I'm so glad 00:56 you've come back to join us in our worship time. 00:59 And Aunty Nat, it's great to see you here as always! 01:02 Oh thanks Aunty Cecily, I'm so glad I'm here too, 01:06 and I wouldn't miss it! 01:07 And hello kids, how has your week been? Good! 01:11 Aunty Nat, my brother Elijah was baptized last Sabbath. 01:14 Oh Caleb, that must have been a wonderful blessing 01:16 for your family this past week. 01:18 You know boys and girls, Elijah used to be on 01:20 the "Day With the King," so it's wonderful that 01:22 he's taken a step in baptism. 01:24 Thank you, Caleb, for sharing that with us. 01:26 Now Aunty Nat, I know you want to send a big "Hello" 01:29 to some people who are watching our program each week. 01:32 Yes, we've been told that there are people watching us 01:35 in India and I want to say a big "Hello" to you all. 01:38 "HELLO!" Hello! Hello! 01:40 If you are watching us from India, drop us an 01:42 email and let us know, we would love to hear from you. 01:45 Our email address is now on the screen. 01:47 Aunt Cecily, have you been to India? 01:49 Only an airport stopover in Delhi, 01:52 but India is a fascinating country! 01:55 And talking about places to visit, 01:57 have you checked out Teddy on our website. 02:00 He's such an active bunny. and yet he sits 02:03 so quietly here on the sofa that you wouldn't even 02:06 hardly know he was here. 02:08 Hello Teddy! You're such a good bunny! 02:11 Aunty Nat, could you please say a prayer for us 02:14 before we commence our worship? Yes, I'd love to. 02:17 Dearest Heavenly Father... We just thank You 02:20 so much for being with us. 02:21 We thank You for our safe-keeping this last week; 02:24 we thank You, Lord, that we're here together to worship You; 02:27 we thank You for the Sabbath, and we just ask a special 02:30 blessing on the children at home. 02:32 In Jesus name... Amen, Amen! 02:35 Thanks Aunty Nat. 02:37 Do you know that I'm so glad that the Sabbath has arrived, 02:40 and that we can pause and spend time with our Lord. 02:43 Let's have a look at our blessing box 02:46 and see what kind of a blessing we can be 02:48 to someone else this Sabbath. 02:50 Bethany, can you open the box and read us a 02:53 blessing that we can share with someone else today? Yes. 02:57 "Make a card and give it to your Sabbath School teacher 03:00 to tell them how much you appreciate them." 03:03 Oh I'm sure they'd be very blessed by being told 03:05 that you appreciate them, what do you think Aunty Nat? 03:08 Oh, I think we don't do enough in stopping and thanking 03:11 God for placing such valuable people 03:13 in our lives to help us on our journey. 03:16 I think making a card to show how much we appreciate 03:19 them is a wonderful idea. 03:20 Now Aunty Cecily, you have something 03:22 to share with us as well. 03:24 You know we spoke last Sabbath about the 03:27 wonderful bodies that Jesus will give us when He returns, 03:31 but to remind us how much He loves us. 03:34 Jesus will retain for eternity the scars 03:37 that He received when dying on the cross. 03:40 We serve an amazing God. 03:43 Later in our Bible study, we'll discover what happened 03:47 to David when he was running away from Saul. 03:50 At times, David was in fear of his life. 03:53 Do you know, in heaven there'll be no more fear 03:57 or sadness. 03:58 There'll also be no more jealousy or violence, 04:01 and heaven will be a perfect place without sin. 04:05 It's hard for us to imagine, isn't it? Yes. 04:08 No, no one will be hurt anymore, 04:11 and no one will hurt anyone else anymore. 04:14 Revelation 21:4 says, "And God will wipe away every tear 04:20 from their eyes and they'll be no more death, 04:23 nor sorrow, nor crying and they'll be no more pain 04:28 for the former things have passed away." 04:30 Isn't that wonderful? 04:33 Do you know, the animals will not hurt one another either. 04:37 Listen to Isaiah 65:25: "The wolf and the lamb 04:42 shall feed together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox; 04:47 and the dust shall be the serpent's food. 04:49 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain," 04:54 says the Lord." 04:56 It's going to be a very safe place to live. 05:00 Imagine playing with animals all day and having no fear 05:04 of being hurt. 05:06 I'm putting my order in for a pet lion! Laughter. 05:10 Heaven is going to be a wonderful place to be, 05:12 isn't it? So let's believe and trust in God's promises. 05:16 Wow! Thanks Aunty Cecily for sharing that with us. 05:19 It sounds like heaven is going to be a wonderful place! 05:22 I'm especially looking forward 05:23 to spending time in eternity with Jesus. 05:26 Oh, look who has just arrived! 05:28 Pastor Rick, you are such a blessing to us! 05:30 Thank you for joining us in our worship time. 05:32 I'm so glad to be here at worship time, 05:34 particularly the Sabbath cause that is just a wonderful time. 05:37 And I have a song called, "We Gather to Meet With the King." 05:41 Can we sing it together, please? Yes! Okay. 06:24 Pastor Rick, can we please sing "Jesus is Coming?" 06:27 We certainly can. "Jesus is Coming Again" 07:29 Pastor Rick, can we please sing "God is So Good?" 07:33 Hmm, is God good? Yes! We can sing that then. 07:41 Ready? 08:26 Thanks Pastor Rick, we really enjoy your company 08:29 and your music. 08:31 And we never get tired of Dr. John's stories, do we? 08:35 He knows so many stories, let's go and see 08:38 if he has another one for us. 08:41 Hello boys and girls! I'm Dr. John, 08:43 and welcome to story time, and to all the other 08:46 boys and girls, we're really glad that you can be with us. 08:49 You know, of all the mission stories that are about 08:51 the Pacific Islands and lots of far places away, 08:55 but we have a mission field here in Australia 08:59 where the cleverest people you would ever imagine live, 09:03 and they are the Aboriginals. 09:04 And I have visited our Aboriginals in our schools 09:07 and I love going back because they are so smart! 09:11 I learned a lesson from them one day. 09:14 I had my phone which was a GPS and I went out in the bush, 09:18 and I found a tree stump and I put a 2-dollar coin 09:22 on the tree stump and I marked it on the GPS 09:25 and I went back to the school at Karaundi. 09:28 And I got all the boys and the girls and I said, 09:30 "Out there in the bush is a 2- dollar coin, 09:34 and this is how you find it with the GPS if you follow 09:38 the little dotted lines." 09:40 And the boys grabbed it and they said, "Shove off girls, 09:43 this is boys' stuff - we're going to find the money." 09:47 And they wouldn't let them and off they went, 09:49 and the boys were all arguing amongst themselves, 09:52 and the girls went off and found the money! 09:56 And I said, "How did you find the money without a GPS?" 09:59 "Sir, we just followed your tracks!" 10:01 They are so good at following tracks. 10:04 And this story is about Daisy and her two friends 10:08 who lived way up in a settlement called "Jigalong," 10:13 past Karaundi, way over in West Australia, 10:16 way out in the desert. 10:18 And one day, policemen came and grabbed the three girls, 10:23 and they said, "You are not being looked after, 10:26 you will go with us and you will go down to a settlement 10:29 hundreds and hundreds of kilometers away, 10:32 600 kilometers away and there you will live, 10:37 and we will look after you and you will grow up, 10:40 and you will never see your family again because 10:42 they're not very good. 10:44 And these three poor girls 10:46 who were only between 8 and 14 years of age, 10:49 were put in a dormitory, but they didn't stay long. 10:55 They were smart Aboriginal girls! 10:58 And when no one was looking, they sneaked out, 11:01 and they ran, and they ran, and they ran. 11:05 And there were people looking for them, chasing them, 11:08 but they were smarter and they walked until they got to a fence 11:15 and they knew they had found the rabbit-proof fence. 11:20 You see, they had built this long fence with chicken wire 11:24 over a thousand kilometers long, to stop the rabbits 11:28 getting into West Australia. 11:31 And they knew that if they followed that fence 11:34 for long enough, they would get back to Jigalong, 11:37 and away they went! 11:38 You know, here is what Daisy might have looked like. 11:45 Quite a pretty little girl and those Aborigines, 11:49 you know, they had weapons. 11:52 Sometimes they would be beaten with a big stick 11:55 called a "nula nula." 11:57 And over here we have a "woomera" 12:02 for throwing spears. 12:04 You put the spear in there and throw it and we've 12:07 got a spear and I've got something that I can't 12:10 let you touch because it was only for men. 12:13 And this is called a "bullroarer." 12:17 And these all come from the Jigalong - they were given 12:21 to my uncle and grandfather many years ago. 12:24 And when a girl hears a bullroarer, 12:27 they are supposed to run away. 12:29 And you know, they tie a string and they wear it 12:33 around their head and it makes a roaring noise. 12:35 But those girls, they walked for days and weeks, 12:41 and they were so determined that they were going to get 12:44 home and nobody would stop them and finally they got home. 12:50 And they actually made a film about them and it is called, 12:54 "The Rabbit-Proof Fence," and this is what 12:58 the girls look like as they got older. 13:02 They weren't quite so pretty because they lived out 13:04 in the sun and they were very poor. 13:07 And one of them is still alive, here name is "Daisy," 13:11 and she wrote her life story in 23 words. 13:18 That was all she could do and she attended our school 13:21 and her children at Wiluna which is near Karaundi 13:26 I come from Jigalong, they took me away but I walked 13:30 all around country back to where I was born - I came back. 13:34 That is a very moving story. 13:37 She went home and we are captured by the devil 13:42 and we are going home and Jesus is waiting for us. 13:46 Thank you boys and girls! 13:48 Hi boys and girls, welcome to our Bible study! 13:51 If you haven't got your Bibles ready yet, 13:53 go get them now so you can read along with us. 13:55 Aunty Cecily, would you like to 13:57 say a prayer for us please? Yes, I'd love to. 13:59 Dear Father in Heaven... We thank You so much 14:02 for the privilege of having free access to our Bibles 14:05 where we can learn about You. 14:07 We just pray that You'd help us to understand the things 14:10 we read and give us a heart to follow You, we pray, 14:14 and please bless all the boys and girls at home who are 14:17 joining us. In Jesus name... Amen, Amen! 14:20 Now Bethany, we studied about Samuel last week, 14:25 and how he anointed someone to be the next king, 14:27 can you remember who that was? 14:28 David... Yes it was David. 14:30 And do you know what, today we're going to find out 14:32 what happens to David because he gets up to some adventures. 14:36 Okay, Anna can you please read 1 Samuel 19:1-2. 14:41 "Now Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants 14:46 that they should kill David, but Jonathan, Saul's son, 14:49 delighted greatly in David. 14:51 So Jonathan told David, saying, "My father Saul seeks to 14:55 kill you. Therefore please be on your guard until morning, 14:58 and stay in a secret place and hide." 15:01 So Saul is jealous of David and his popularity with the people 15:06 that he wants him dead. 15:09 But Jonathan warns David to hide 15:11 until he can talk to his father. 15:13 So Jonathan points out to his father, "David has done 15:16 no wrong and does not deserve to die." 15:20 Saul listens to his son, Jonathan, and David is 15:23 able to come back and Saul promises not to kill him. 15:27 Okay, but something happens. 15:30 You know what, David went out to war again and he gained 15:33 a great victory over the Philistines; jealousy bruising 15:37 Saul's heart again and for the second time, 15:40 Saul tries to spear David to the wall - tries to pin him 15:44 to the wall with his spear. 15:46 Let's see where David runs to, Caleb, you read 1 Samuel 19:18. 15:52 "So David fled and escaped and went to Samuel at Ramah, 15:57 and told him all that Saul had done to him. 16:00 And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth. Thanks Caleb. 16:07 So David finds relief from persecution from Saul 16:10 with Samuel. 16:12 Here, David spent quiet communion with the prophet. 16:15 Okay, let's see what happens next. 16:17 J. J., can you read 1 Samuel 21:1-3? Yep. 16:23 "Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. 16:28 And Ahimelech was afraid when he met David, and said to him, 16:34 "Why are you alone, and no one is with you?" 16:37 So David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has ordered 16:42 me on some business, and said to me, "Do not let anyone 16:49 know anything about the business on which I send you, 16:53 or what I have commanded you. 16:57 And I have directed my young men to such and such a place. 17:04 Now therefore, what have you on hand? 17:06 Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, 17:09 or whatever can be found." Thanks J. J. 17:13 So did the king send it? No, he didn't send him. 17:17 Do you know what? David's faith is faltering. 17:19 The high priest tells David, the only bread available 17:22 is the holy bread or the showbread inside the tabernacle 17:26 which the priest gives him. 17:28 Do you know what? If David had been honest 17:29 with the high priest, the priest would have known what to do, 17:32 and perhaps a different course would have been pursued. 17:35 Aunt Cecily, can you read 1 Samuel 21:7. 17:39 "Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was 17:42 there that day detained before the Lord and his name was 17:47 Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen 17:51 who belonged to Saul." 17:52 Okay, just tuck that little bit of information away 17:55 and we'll talk about that soon. 17:56 Anna, can you please read 1 Samuel 21:8-9. 18:01 "And David said to Ahimelech, "Is there not here on hand 18:08 a spear or a sword? For I have brought neither my sword 18:12 nor my weapons with me, because the king's 18:14 business required haste." 18:16 So the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, 18:20 whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, there it is, 18:24 wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. 18:26 If you will take that, take it. 18:29 For there is no other except that one here." 18:33 And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me." 18:38 So David takes Goliath's sword and flees! 18:42 Let's look at our torch light, Mrs. White's writings, 18:45 and Matthew, you're going to read that, 18:47 and see what that shines on what we've just been reading. 18:52 "As trial came upon him, his faith was shaken and 18:57 human weakness appeared. 18:59 He saw in every man a spy and a betrayer. 19:01 For as he had been hunted and persecuted, perplexity and 19:06 distress had nearly hidden his Heavenly Father from his sight. 19:11 Yet this experience was serving to teach David wisdom; 19:14 for it led him to realize his weakness and the necessity of 19:19 constant dependence upon God. Thanks Matthew. 19:22 Do you know, we can learn so much from David's mistakes 19:25 by learning to trust God no matter how much the 19:29 world is against us. 19:31 Meanwhile, Saul is complaining to his servants that everyone 19:34 is against him including his son, Jonathan. 19:37 Now remember that we read about a man named Doeg, 19:42 back in 1 Samuel 21:7- Caleb, let's continue to read 19:46 and see what happens. 1 Samuel 22:9-10. 19:49 "Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over 19:54 the servants of Saul, and said, "I saw the son of Jesse going 19:59 to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub. 20:06 And he inquired of the Lord for him, gave him provisions 20:10 and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine." 20:13 So Doeg, who because of his ambition and cruelty, 20:17 told Saul of the incident of the high priest helping David 20:20 with food and giving him Goliath's sword. 20:23 Saul was enraged. 20:25 J. J., let's read 1 Samuel 22:17-18. 20:29 "Then the king said to the guards who stood about him, 20:34 "Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, because their hand 20:38 also is with David, and because they knew when he fled 20:42 and did not tell it to me." 20:44 But the servants of the king would not lift their 20:47 hands to strike the priests of the Lord. 20:50 And the king said to Doeg, "You turn and kill the 20:55 priests!" So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck 21:00 the priests, and killed on that day, 21:04 85 men who wore a linen ephod." 21:09 Umm, a linen ephod, yes. Thank you J. J. 21:13 It's interesting that even Saul's own servants 21:16 wouldn't do this terrible act! 21:19 All of Israel was horrified that a king they insisted 21:22 on having, because they wanted to be like other nations, 21:26 would do such a thing. 21:27 Okay, Aunt Cecily, 1 Samuel 23:14 and 16-18, 21:33 can you read that please. 21:35 "And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness 21:39 and remained in the mountains in the Wilderness of Ziph. 21:42 Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him 21:47 into his hand. 21:49 Then Jonathan, Saul's son, arose and went to David 21:52 in the woods and strengthened his hand in God. 21:55 And he said to him, "Do not fear, for the hand of Saul 21:59 my father shall not find you. 22:01 You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you. 22:07 Even my father Saul knows that." 22:10 So the two of them made a covenant before the Lord. 22:13 And David stayed in the woods, 22:15 and Jonathan went to his own house." 22:18 Umm, so Jonathan came and encouraged David, 22:22 and they spent time together communing as good friends. 22:25 Anna, can you please read 1 Samuel 24:2-4. 22:31 "Then Saul took 3,000 chosen men from all Israel 22:35 and went to seek David and his 22:37 men on the rocks of the wild goats. 22:40 So he came to the sheepfolds by the road, where there was a 22:43 cave; and Saul went in to attend to his needs. 22:46 David and his men were staying in the recesses of the cave. 22:50 Then the men of David said to him, 22:54 "This is the day of which the Lord said to you, 22:56 "Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, 22:59 that you may do to him as it seems good to you." 23:03 And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul's robe. 23:07 So David had an opportunity to kill Saul and is encouraged 23:12 by his men to do so. 23:14 But all David did was cut off a little corner of his robe. 23:18 Do you know even though David had been greatly 23:21 persecuted by Saul, he was anointed by God to be king. 23:25 David decided that he was not going to be the one 23:28 to take his life. 23:29 David comes out of the cave, after Saul leaves, 23:32 and speaks to him. 23:34 Bethany, can you read 1 Samuel 24:16-17 and 20. 23:38 "So it was, when David had finished speaking these words 23:41 to Saul, that Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son 23:44 David?" And Saul lifted up his voice and wept. 23:47 Then he said to David, "You are more righteous than I; 23:50 for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have 23:53 rewarded you with evil. 23:55 And now I know indeed that you shall surely be king, 23:58 and that the kingdom of Israel shall be 24:03 established in your hand." 24:05 So Saul was humbled by this act and realizes and admits 24:09 that God has indeed anointed him as the next king. 24:12 Kate, can you please read 1 Samuel 25:1. 24:17 "Then Samuel died and the Israelites gathered 24:20 together and lamented for him and buried him 24:24 at his home in Ramah. 24:26 And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran." 24:31 Thanks Kate. 24:32 So it wasn't until Samuel died did the Israelites realize 24:36 their folly in wanting a king to rule them instead of Samuel. 24:40 It was Samuel who had taught them to love and obey God. 24:43 Saul was now ruling with madness and strife and confusion. 24:47 Saul had become selfish and was only looking out for himself, 24:52 not the well-being of his nation and their relationship with God. 24:56 Samuel was a great loss to Israel. 24:59 Let's read our memory verse together in Micah 6:8. 25:06 Are you ready? 25:20 Do you think that sums up Samuel's life? Yes. 25:22 Yes, I think it does and we can claim this for our life as well 25:26 so we can be a blessing to others. 25:28 Thank you boys and girls for reading along with us. 25:30 We have a devotional available that goes into more depth 25:33 than what we studied today, here's how you can get that. 25:36 Hey boys and girls! Like Aunty Nat said, 25:39 you can download our devotionals free from our website at: 25:47 Hey Nick, don't forget about Teddy! 25:49 Oh yes, while you're there, you can visit Teddy's blog. 25:53 He has posted some videos of his intense training for the show! 25:57 Boys and girls, we want to hear from you. 25:59 Send us an email on how you're enjoying the show, 26:02 so hop online today! 26:05 Thanks Nick and Sarah! 26:06 Yes, boys and girls, we want to hear from you. 26:10 Aunty Nat, can you tell us what we're going 26:11 to be studying next week? 26:13 Yes, next week you have to come back because everything 26:16 is about crowns and it's going to be really exciting! 26:20 Aunt Cecily, shall we go over our memory verse? Yes. 26:24 Let's read this together boys and girls... Micah 6:8: 26:40 Aunty Nat, another worship time is almost over. 26:44 I can't believe it's gone by so quickly. 26:47 Amber, what did you learn in our worship today? 26:50 That the animals will not hurt us in heaven. 26:53 Oh yes, heaven will be a very safe place and Jesus, 26:57 our Forever Friend, will be with us always. 27:01 Is it time for our blessing song Aunty Cecily? 27:03 It certainly is Kate! 27:05 You ready boys and girls? 27:07 Let's turn around and sing to our friends at home. 27:15 May God bless you and keep you, 27:21 and fill your heart with love. 27:26 May God guide and protect you, 27:31 and watch you from above. 27:36 As Sabbath after Sabbath 27:41 we greet the Day of Rest. 27:46 The Day the King of Glory 27:51 has sanctified and blessed. 27:56 Goodbye my friend, till we meet again 28:02 for another Day with the King. 28:07 Goodbye! See you next Sabbath! 28:20 I can't wait to get to heaven 28:22 because I can hang out with Jesus. 28:30 I can't wait to get to heaven 28:31 so I can see God's wonderful nature. |
