00:01 Hello there! Happy Sabbath!
00:02 Come on in, we're about to meet with the King!
00:53 Hello, I'm Aunty Nat and I'm Aunty Cecily.
00:56 And all of us here are so glad that you have come back
00:59 to worship the King. Aren't we kids? Yes!
01:02 Aunty Nat, tell all the kids at home
01:04 why we're wearing crowns today.
01:05 Oh thanks Ben for reminding me.
01:07 I almost forgot, it's a crown day!
01:10 Boys and girls, today we're going to talk
01:11 and sing about crowns, so it's a special
01:14 Sabbath worship program.
01:15 Can you remind me who else I need to say "Hello" to?
01:18 Yes, it's Teddy! Oh Teddy, you've brought a
01:22 friend - what's her name? It's Lilly!
01:25 Oh look, so it is, it's Lilly!
01:28 Do you know what boys and girls, this is Lilly's
01:30 first time, so you need to let me know
01:32 that she behaves herself.
01:34 Aunt Cecily, can you please say a prayer for us.
01:37 Dear Father in Heaven, we thank You so much
01:40 that we can come together and open the Sabbath
01:44 and to worship You.
01:45 We pray that You would touch the hearts of all the
01:48 girls and boys around the world who are joining us at this time.
01:52 In Jesus name... Amen, Amen! Thanks Aunty Cecily.
01:56 How has your week been? Has God blessed you this week?
01:59 Think about what God has provided for you this past week.
02:03 When we really think about it,
02:04 we can find something to be thankful for.
02:06 What do you think Aunty Cecily?
02:08 Yes, just stopping, you know, to count our blessings
02:12 from God can just change our focus in life,
02:15 and help us to want to bless others.
02:17 Yes I agree. Let's have a look at our
02:20 blessing box now to see what we can do to
02:22 bless someone else on the Sabbath.
02:23 Matthew, you're going to read our blessing today.
02:25 Can you read that to the children at home.
02:28 "Read the Bible to someone!"
02:29 Aww, that's a good idea!
02:31 That would be especially good for someone who couldn't read.
02:34 Can you think of someone who you could read the Bible to?
02:37 Do you have any ideas, Matthew,
02:39 who you could read the Bible to?
02:41 Someone in the nursing home.
02:42 Oh, I think that would be a lovely idea Matthew.
02:45 And it's such a great way that
02:46 we can share Jesus' love to them.
02:48 I think they would be very blessed.
02:50 Aunt Cecily, I know you have a blessing to share with us,
02:53 and we have been SO blessed by all the things
02:56 you've been telling us about the second coming.
02:58 Yes, we've been on an amazing journey these past weeks,
03:02 haven't we - learning about Jesus' second coming.
03:06 We've learned about the place Jesus has prepared for us
03:10 in heaven and how we can prepare our hearts for His return.
03:15 And we've learned that His coming will be a noisy
03:17 worldwide event - no one will miss it!
03:21 We're not to be afraid because Jesus will keep us safe.
03:26 Jesus will resurrect the dead who loved and believed in Him.
03:30 And those of us alive will be able to meet the
03:33 Lord in the air!
03:35 We also spoke about Satan's attempt to deceive us
03:39 when he impersonates Jesus.
03:42 Don't be tricked by him, as Jesus will not touch the
03:47 ground when He returns.
03:49 Also, we don't know the hour or the day of Jesus' return,
03:54 only God the Father knows that, so don't be deceived
03:57 by people predicting a time for His return.
04:01 We also discovered that the Tree of Life, which was in the
04:04 Garden of Eden, will be in heaven, so we will be able to
04:09 eat from it and live eternally with our best friend, Jesus.
04:14 He loves us so much that He's going to give us a new body
04:18 free from the effects of sin.
04:20 Also, heaven will be free from sadness and pain.
04:25 Heaven will be a perfect happy and safe place to be.
04:29 Today, I want to talk to you about crowns,
04:33 just as we are going to talk about a crown in our Bible
04:37 study, so Jesus will place a crown on our heads
04:41 when we enter heaven.
04:43 James 1:12 says, "Blessed is the man who endures
04:48 temptation for when he has been approved,
04:51 he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has
04:55 promised to those who love Him.
04:58 What a beautiful promise!
05:01 Jesus longs to place a crown on your head,
05:05 so turn your heart to Him and believe in God's promises.
05:10 Aww, thanks Aunty Cecily, those were beautiful
05:12 pictures, weren't they?
05:14 Won't it be lovely when Jesus places those crowns
05:17 on our heads?
05:18 They'll be more beautiful than the ones that we have on.
05:21 You know what, I can see that Pastor Rick has snuck in
05:24 while we've been talking about that.
05:26 Thanks so much, Pastor Rick, for coming and joining
05:28 us in our worship time.
05:30 Lovely to be here and, looking out at you all,
05:33 what's with the crowns? Is it a crown day? Yes!
05:37 A special day about learning about crowns - how good is that!
05:40 Well there's a special song called, "Will There Be Any
05:43 Stars in My Crown," let's sing this one together.
06:33 Pastor Rick, can we please sing, "I Will Wear a Crown?"
06:36 I think that's a really good song to sing seeing
06:38 everyone has their lovely crowns on.
06:41 Jesus is going to give us a crown,
06:43 why don't we sing about that?
07:04 Sing it again!
07:28 Pastor Rick, can we please sing, "Give Your Heart to Jesus?"
07:32 Yeah, I think that's a great song to sing,
07:35 but before we sing it, I'm just thinking...
07:37 about the title of that song and how beautiful a title
07:41 that is because all the music we've been singing and
07:43 everyone who has been watching,
07:45 it's all about giving our heart to Jesus.
07:48 That's where we're coming to and this song
07:50 is a great way to finish that, so let's sing this
07:53 beautiful song, we're going to sing it through twice.
07:55 "Give Your Heart to Jesus."
08:30 And once more...
09:08 Thanks Pastor Rick!
09:09 Singing praises to God is just a lovely way to
09:12 tell Him that we love Him.
09:14 Are you enjoying Dr. John's stories each week? Yes!
09:20 Well I wonder what he has in store for us this time.
09:23 Let's go and see...
09:26 Hello boys and girls, I'm Dr. John and welcome
09:28 to story time!
09:30 And all the other boys and girls who are watching,
09:32 thank you so much for being with us today.
09:36 I want to tell you the story of Colin Winch.
09:38 You know, a lot of the business stories have been about
09:41 boats, but as we came into the 20th and the 21st century,
09:46 we discovered that it was much quicker and more efficient
09:51 to use an airplane.
09:53 And this is the plane that was our first mission plane;
09:58 in fact, its number was VH, which is the Australian number,
10:03 SDA, Seventh-day Adventist.
10:07 And this plane, this is just a model, was seen all over
10:11 New Guinea and Colin was training to be a nurse and he
10:15 really wanted to be pilot.
10:17 More than a pilot, he couldn't afford to buy a plane,
10:23 so he built one!
10:25 He got bits of timber and bits of canvas and in a garage
10:31 he started to make this plane.
10:33 Can you see the motor?
10:35 He couldn't afford a motor.
10:37 This will just be a glider.
10:40 Well, he had his friend, Doug, and they didn't know
10:43 who was going to fly it, but Doug won.
10:46 He was a bit fatter than Colin and he squeezed in,
10:50 and the plane didn't fly very well.
10:52 Then it was Colin's turn; he got on the plane
10:55 and they it behind a car and the car had to race across
11:00 the paddock, hopefully the plane would get into the air.
11:04 But, you know, the plane was very cheap and the wheels
11:08 are off and old pram and as it was racing across the paddock,
11:14 not flying, it hit the concrete edge of a cricket pitch,
11:19 and the wheels came off, and for one second
11:24 the plane flew far off the ground and crashed.
11:29 Well, they were not going to give up and so at this time
11:33 they said, "We will fly it without anybody in it,
11:36 and we will just tow it behind the car.
11:39 And the car took off and around it went - it was flying because
11:45 when they tried to do it before, the driver of the car was
11:49 playing around and he ran over some fresh cow poop,
11:54 and it flew up all over the pilots.
11:57 So now they were flying it without a pilot and when the
12:00 plane got into the air, it was flying around following the car,
12:04 but they didn't know how to stop the plane.
12:07 Every time the car slowed down, the plan was about to
12:11 crash into the back of the car, so he had to drive
12:14 fast again and finally he thought...
12:16 "The only way I can save my car is to swing wide
12:20 by this tree and let the tree stop the plane."
12:24 And that wasn't very good for the plane and smash,
12:29 and Colin had no plane, but you know, when he left
12:34 and graduated as a nurse, he went up to New Guinea
12:38 and there is "The Andrew Stewart VHSDA," and he became
12:45 such a good pilot, he was known as the "Textbook Pilot."
12:51 He did everything so carefully and he would fly into these
12:56 villages and they used to do something special.
13:00 Sometimes if there was no landing spot,
13:04 they would drop a bag out of
13:07 the airplane door - they took the door off.
13:11 And they would drop this off and drop-master, he was
13:14 very good at it and one day they were going to a village
13:19 just like this and he flew over and there's the plane,
13:24 and it's about to drop a bag, but there was a boy in the
13:28 village - a big strong boy, and he had a girlfriend and he
13:33 wanted to impress his girlfriend.
13:35 And so he looked at the plane coming over and just as they
13:40 threw the big bag out, it was heavy, "I'll show them
13:44 how strong I am and I'll impress my girlfriend."
13:48 And he raced out into the middle and he saw the bag coming
13:52 down - he caught it alright.
13:56 He caught it right in the chest and it knocked him flat!
14:00 It knocked him out; he had no wind in his body,
14:03 and they came and they pumped his arms and his legs,
14:06 "gasping hard" and finally he started to breathe.
14:09 I don't know how impressed his girlfriend was because
14:12 everybody was laughing at him and he never, ever
14:15 tried to catch it again!
14:18 You know "The Andrew Stewart" is no longer flying,
14:20 but it still flies in this model because it is a weathervane.
14:24 And every time the wind blows, it follows the wind,
14:28 and that is all that is left of "The Andrew Stewart."
14:31 Thank you boys and girls. Goodbye.
14:34 Hi boys and girls, welcome to our Bible study.
14:37 If you haven't got your Bibles ready yet,
14:39 go get them now so you can follow along with us.
14:41 Aunty Cecily, would you like to say a prayer
14:43 to open our study today? Yes.
14:45 Dear Father in Heaven... Thank You so much for Your Son,
14:49 Jesus and all that You have done for us.
14:52 And we pray that as we read Your Holy Word,
14:55 that you would put it in our hearts to want to follow
14:58 everything that You want us to.
15:01 Please bless the children at home and may we all
15:04 give our hearts to You. In Jesus name... Amen, Amen!
15:09 Now Anna, last Sabbath we studied about a man
15:11 who was on the run from King Saul, who was that?
15:14 David! Yes, it was David, and why
15:17 was David on the run?
15:18 Because Saul wanted to kill him. Yes, that's right.
15:21 Today, we're going to see what happens to David.
15:24 So Anna, would you like to please read 1 Samuel 26:1-2.
15:30 "Now the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah,
15:33 saying, "Is David not hiding in the hill of
15:36 Hachilah, opposite Jeshimon?"
15:41 Then Saul arose and went down to the Wilderness of Ziph,
15:45 having 3,000 chosen men of Israel with him,
15:49 to seek David in the Wilderness of Ziph." Thanks Anna.
15:53 So the Ziphites informed Saul of David's whereabouts,
15:58 and Saul's jealous heart rose again and he decided to
16:03 go after to David.
16:04 Now David finds out where Saul and his army are camping.
16:08 Matthew, can you please read 1 Samuel 26:7-8.
16:15 So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and there
16:20 Saul lay sleeping within the camp, with his spear
16:23 stuck in the ground by his head.
16:25 And Abner and the people lay all around him.
16:28 Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered your
16:32 enemy into your hand this day.
16:34 Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once
16:36 with the spear, right to the earth;
16:38 and I will not have to strike him a second time!"
16:41 So here David is being given a second opportunity to take
16:44 Saul's life - David refuses to kill Saul.
16:48 Even though David was also anointed to be king,
16:51 he wanted to leave the whole matter in God's hands.
16:55 But you know what? While Saul was spending so much
16:58 time chasing David, he neglected
17:01 his responsibilities to his nation.
17:04 The Philistines took advantage of this and they
17:07 infiltrated Israel. Let's see what happens.
17:11 Aunt Cecily, can you please read 1 Samuel 28:5-6.
17:16 "When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid,
17:21 and his heart trembled greatly.
17:23 And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer
17:28 him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets."
17:33 So Saul was very fearful and he inquired of God as to
17:38 what to do, but God didn't answer him.
17:40 Saul went and consulted a witch.
17:43 Now when Samuel was alive, he and Saul had driven
17:46 out all the witches and wizards from the land.
17:49 Now this witch had been living in secret because she didn't
17:53 want anyone to know that she was there.
17:57 Saul went in disguise and the witch was also worried
18:01 about her life. Let's see what Saul says to her.
18:03 Matthew, can you please read 1 Samuel 28:10-14.
18:10 "And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying,
18:12 "As the Lord lives, no punishment shall come
18:15 upon you for this thing."
18:16 Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?"
18:19 And he said, "Bring up Samuel for me."
18:21 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice.
18:25 And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you
18:28 deceived me? For you are Saul."
18:30 And the king said to her, "Do not be afraid.
18:33 What did you see?"
18:34 And the woman said to Saul, "I saw a spirit ascending
18:38 out of the earth."
18:40 So he said to her, "What is his form?"
18:42 And she said, "An old man is coming up and he is
18:45 covered with a mantle."
18:46 And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped
18:51 with his face to the ground and bowed down." Thanks Matthew.
18:55 Now does a witch have a power
18:57 to raise someone from the dead? No.
18:59 No, only God can do that.
19:01 Do you know, he was our original Creator and He is
19:04 the only One that can re-create us.
19:07 So who was responsible for the spirit that came up? Satan.
19:11 Yeah, Satan was impersonating Samuel.
19:14 Let's look at our Bibles to check out a couple of things.
19:17 Bethany, can you please read Ecclesiastes 9:5-6.
19:25 "For the living know that they will die,
19:28 but the dead know nothing and they have no more reward,
19:31 for the memory of them is forgotten.
19:33 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now
19:36 perished. Nevermore will they have a share in anything
19:42 done under the sun."
19:43 So the Bible is telling us that when we die, you know nothing.
19:48 Everything in your mind ceases to exist.
19:51 So that means the dead cannot speak to us.
19:54 Kate, can you please read John 11:11-14.
20:06 "These things he said and after that, he said to them,
20:09 "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.
20:14 Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get well."
20:18 However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that
20:22 He was speaking about taking a rest in sleep.
20:25 Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead."
20:29 So Jesus is explaining that death is a sleep.
20:32 Caleb, can you please read Job 7:9-10.
20:40 "As the cloud disappears and vanishes away,
20:44 so he who goes down to the grave does not come up.
20:48 He shall never return to his house,
20:51 nor shall his place know him anymore." Thanks Caleb.
20:55 So this is telling us that once you die,
20:58 the grave is where you stay; you don't go anywhere else.
21:02 Do we stay asleep forever? No!
21:06 Let's look at our memory verse today and read it together.
21:08 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18.
21:13 This one is a long one, you ready?
21:50 Wow! What a great promise! God is so good!
21:53 Now let's get back to our story!
21:56 Saul and his sons perished on the battlefield.
21:59 We are now going to go over to 2 Samuel,
22:02 and we are going to read what happens when David
22:04 finds out this news.
22:06 David in his response to this tragedy,
22:08 composes a song on his harp.
22:10 Matthew, can you read the last three verses of
22:13 that for us in 2 Samuel 1:25-26.
22:18 "How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle.
22:21 Jonathan was slain in your high places.
22:24 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan.
22:27 You have been very pleasant to me.
22:29 Your love to me was wonderful, surpassing
22:32 the love of women." Thanks Matthew.
22:34 So David valued his special friendship with Jonathan
22:38 even above the friendship and
22:40 the companionship of his own wives.
22:42 Let's look at our torch light, Mrs. White's writings,
22:45 to see what shines on that verse for us.
22:47 Kate, can you please read that for us.
22:49 This is a very special verse.
22:58 "Jonathan, by birth heir to the throne, yet knowing himself
23:01 set aside by the divine decree; to his rival the most
23:05 tender and faithful of friends, shielding David's life
23:08 at the peril of his own; steadfast at his father's side
23:12 through the dark days of his declining power and at his side
23:16 - falling at the last, the name of Jonathan is treasured in
23:19 heaven and it stands on earth a witness to the existence
23:24 and the power of unselfish love."
23:26 Aww, thanks Kate.
23:28 You know, Jonathan was a faithful and godly man,
23:31 and realized that David was of the rightful person
23:34 next in line to the throne.
23:36 Do you know what? God orchestrated David
23:38 and Jonathan's friendship so they could support one another
23:42 through those very turbulent and stressful years.
23:46 Now David was led by God to go up to the city of Hebron
23:49 which was in Judah - let's see what happens.
23:51 Bethany, can you please read 2 Samuel 2:4, our last verse.
23:56 "Then the men of Judah came and there they anointed David
24:01 king over the house of Judah, and they told David saying,
24:05 "The men of Jabesh Gilead were the ones who buried Saul."
24:10 Thank you.
24:11 So finally after ALL this time, we've been studying about
24:16 David the last couple of lessons and finally David
24:19 is anointed as king, but it was all done in God's timing,
24:23 and if you go over and have a look at our
24:25 "Kings and Prophets Chart," you can see at the top
24:28 there that Saul was the first king and now David
24:31 is the second king of Israel.
24:34 Thank you boys and girls for reading along with us.
24:36 We have a devotional available that goes into more depth
24:39 on what we studied today, here is how you can get that!
24:43 Hey boys and girls! Like Aunty Nat said,
24:46 you can download our devotionals free from our website.
24:53 Hey Nick, don't forget about Teddy!
24:56 Oh yes, while you're there, you can visit Teddy's blog.
24:59 He has posted some videos of his intense training for the show.
25:03 Boys and girls, we want to hear from you - send us an email
25:07 on how you're enjoying the show, so hop online today!
25:11 Thanks Nick and Sarah!
25:13 We want to encourage you to read your Bibles every day
25:17 so you can get to know Jesus as your friend.
25:20 That's why we've developed the daily devotionals
25:23 to help you to do that.
25:25 If you have any questions of any of the Bible studies,
25:29 you can contact us at the address on the screen.
25:33 Yes, we would love to hear from you and perhaps Aunty Cecily
25:37 when we spoke about blessing, earlier on about reading
25:40 the Bible to someone, the children could use those
25:43 studies as a guide to do that.
25:45 That's a great idea!
25:46 Aunty Nat, shall we go over our memory verse with the children?
25:50 Yes, let's do that.
25:51 Children, can we read that together?
26:30 What a beautiful promise! Isn't it.
26:33 Mia, we've nearly come to the end of our worship time,
26:36 what did you learn about the King today?
26:38 That Jesus wants to put crowns on our heads in heaven.
26:41 Yes, He certainly does, Jesus wants us
26:44 to all be in heaven with Him.
26:46 Aunty Cecily, do you think we're all ready to sing our
26:49 blessing song to the children at home?
26:51 I think so - would you like to turn around
26:52 and sing to the boys and girls at home?
27:00 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 friends, till we meet again,
27:46 for another day with the King.
27:52 Goodbye! See you next Sabbath!
28:06 I'm looking forward to going to heaven because
28:08 they'll be never-ending food.
28:15 I'm looking forward to going to heaven because
28:17 I'd get to see all the Bible characters.
28:24 I can't wait to get to heaven because
28:26 I'll be able to play with all the animals.
