Now that is very helpful. 01:35 You know, cleaning up after dishes is a big deal 01:38 because I like it when I get some help 01:40 cleaning up when I make a mess. 01:41 But step by step, 01:43 Jesus was learning to follow God's will. 01:47 Do you like making steps to follow Jesus? 01:49 Yes. 01:50 That reminds me of a song and I'm... 01:51 Ben, I'm so glad you're here. Yeah. 01:53 Hey, can we sing this song step by step? 01:57 Let's try it? 02:02 Oh God, You are my God 02:06 And I will ever praise You 02:10 Oh God, You are my God 02:14 And I will ever praise You 02:18 I will seek You in the morning 02:22 And I will learn to walk in Your ways 02:27 And step by step You'll lead me 02:30 And I will follow You all of my days 02:35 Oh, thank you for singing that song with me. 02:38 I really like that song because each step we take, 02:42 we can walk closer to Jesus, don't you think? 02:44 Yeah. 02:46 Thank you for joining us. You're welcome. 02:47 So are you ready 02:49 for the next part of our program, 02:51 the story time? 02:53 Yeah. Yeah! 02:55 Let's go. 02:59 So you know where Jesus moved to with His family 03:03 after they left Jerusalem? 03:06 Where did they go to? To Egypt. 03:07 You're right, Egypt. 03:09 And do you know how far Egypt is? 03:10 Four hundred miles. 03:12 How did you know? 03:14 You're right, it was 400 miles. 03:15 Now that must have taken a long trip. 03:17 But you know what? 03:19 They were traveling probably by the sea. 03:22 And why do you think they wanted to go to Egypt? 03:24 What was happening? 03:25 Somebody was the ruler there. 03:27 Who was the ruler there? King Herod. 03:29 King Herod. And what did he want to do to? 03:31 Kill Jesus. 03:32 He wanted to kill baby Jesus 03:35 because he didn't want anybody else to be the king. 03:37 That is so sad. 03:39 They didn't want Him to be king. 03:41 And so Jesus was, what happened? 03:44 We know the story, 03:45 Joseph didn't even wait until morning 03:48 to pack up all his things and leave for Egypt. 03:51 And so they traveled 400 miles. 03:53 Can you imagine walking 400 miles? 03:55 No. That's pretty far. 03:57 You're right. That is pretty hard. 03:58 And so, you know what? 04:00 They didn't even go back home to Nazareth. 04:02 They had to go and flee. 04:04 So they left everything behind. 04:06 And there they started their new home 04:08 and maybe the wise men gave gifts 04:11 that would help them establish the new home. 04:12 But you know, when Jesus was a small boy, 04:15 God had chosen Mary and Joseph to be her parents. 04:19 And I'm so glad for that. 04:20 Because you know what happened, is that they realized 04:23 that it had to be God 04:24 that was leading Jesus step by step. 04:27 And Jesus was small boy, 04:29 and even when He was like two or three years old, 04:32 you know what He was doing? 04:34 He was trying to be helpful. 04:35 How many of you have tried being helpful 04:36 at two and three? 04:38 Yeah, that's how hard a task, isn't it? 04:39 Yeah, 'cause you are young. 04:41 You're pretty young, 04:42 but He wanted to be very helpful. 04:44 Do you like helping too? 04:46 Sometimes? I hope so. 04:48 Because you know what? 04:49 He even then, He wanted to help. 04:51 And the big task back then was to make bread. 04:56 How many of you have ever made bread? 04:57 Do you like making bread? 04:59 I like making bread. How about you at home? 05:01 Every Sunday, I make bread for the week. 05:04 And it takes a little bit of time. 05:05 And I put everything in my ingredients, 05:08 and I put it in my bread machine. 05:09 And I hit the button, and it starts up. 05:12 But back then, do you think 05:13 they had a bread machine like I do? 05:15 No. No. 05:17 They had to do with the wheat, right? 05:19 And you know what? 05:21 I have a basket right there, would you kindly, Roselynn, 05:24 can you get me that basket right there? 05:25 There's a little basket right there. 05:27 And I have some wheat berries in there. 05:31 Thank you. 05:32 There were some wheat berries. 05:34 And so they would have time, oh, she thinks it's a treat. 05:37 But they would be wheat berries like these. 05:40 And they would grab them, 05:42 and then they would try to grind them up. 05:45 And that's kind of a hard task to do. 05:48 And they would grind them up. 05:50 Aleigha, would you like to try? 05:51 Smash it. 05:53 That's kind of hard, right? 05:55 It takes some work. 05:56 And this is, but that's what they had to do. 05:58 They had to grind it up. 06:00 And then they would have the flour. 06:03 Now, back then it took at least three to four hours 06:06 from the time that you already had your flour 06:09 to make the bread. 06:10 They had special ovens. 06:12 And I can just imagine what it was like for Jesus. 06:16 Wouldn't you like to see what it was like? 06:18 And let's see if we can open up a picture book 06:23 and have a look inside what Jesus might have done. 06:28 Let's see. 06:30 Would you like to see some pictures? 06:32 I would like to see little Jesus right here. 06:36 And see, He would follow examples. 06:38 Do you see Him helping His mom 06:40 smash the wheat berries right here. 06:43 And then they would smash it. 06:45 And even before they could make the bread, 06:47 they had to separate the chaff 06:51 and so they would have to throw it up in the air 06:53 and let the wind blow it. 06:56 That's interesting. 06:57 I wonder what it had been like. 07:01 Wouldn't you like to see that? 07:13 That's a good little helper. 07:14 Thank you, Jesus. 07:15 You see, after we gather the wheat, 07:18 we have to separate it from the chaff. 07:20 Now, let's try winnowing the wheat. 07:22 Can you help me put some in here? 08:30 He's praying and then He's ready to eat it. 08:34 Oh, I would have loved to be there with little Jesus. 08:37 He was so very helpful. 08:40 And do you know what it's called 08:41 when they throw the wheat up in the air? 08:45 Winnowing. Winnowing, you're right. 08:47 It is called winnowing. 08:49 And then they would... It was important to do that. 08:52 And you know, it reminds me sometimes, 08:54 Jesus had some brothers. 08:56 Were they always nice to Him? 08:58 No. 08:59 How did you know He had some older brothers? 09:01 Can you sit down? 09:03 But you know what? 09:04 He had to make some careful choices. 09:06 And I'm sure Mary said, 09:08 had a little talk and said, "You know what? 09:10 It's okay that your brothers are playing. 09:12 You can be here and I'm so glad that you're helping me 09:15 do different things with the chores 09:17 and making bread for example." 09:19 How many times do your parents 09:20 have to remind you to set the table? 09:22 Many. Many times. 09:25 So you know what? 09:26 Sometimes it's important to be helpful 09:28 without having to be asked, right? 09:30 Yeah. 09:31 Yeah, He wanted us, 09:33 He wants, our parents want us to be helpful. 09:35 And you know what? 09:37 There is a Commandment that has a promise. 09:40 Do you know what Commandment has a promise in it? 09:44 The Fifth Commandment. 09:45 Oh, what, which is what, Khalil? 09:48 "Honor your father and your mother, 09:49 that the days will be long upon the land 09:51 which the Lord thy God giveth thee." 09:52 You're right. 09:54 So God has a promise 09:55 that if we honor our parents and respect them, 09:58 we will live a long time. 10:00 And so by helping them and being very helpful, 10:02 that is what we can do to grow in favor with God. 10:06 But not only are you growing in favor with God, 10:08 who are you going with as well? 10:10 Your parents. You're right. 10:13 So you know what? Here is some stories. 10:16 I'd like to show you some pictures. 10:20 So here is where Jesus had to travel 10:24 from Jerusalem, you see they were from Bethlehem 10:28 and then Jerusalem, 10:30 and then they probably went here to Egypt. 10:33 Now, Egypt was a beautiful place. 10:36 And it had lots of rich places, 10:38 it was known to be a very dry place, 10:40 but it became a very rich place. 10:42 And that's where people wanted to dwell. 10:49 So during the Bible times, 10:51 how long did it take them to make bread? 10:53 Was it A, one to two hours? 10:57 B, three to four hours? 10:59 Or C, pretty much all day like six to eight hours? 11:03 B. 11:04 B, three to four hours. You're right. 11:07 How about? 11:08 What type of grain was often used 11:11 in the Bible times? 11:13 Was it, 11:15 let's see, barley and wheat? 11:19 Or oats and rice? 11:22 Or was it corn and rye? 11:26 A. 11:28 A, barley and wheat. You're right. 11:31 What is it called when we use the wind 11:33 to separate the wheat from the chaff? 11:37 Winnowing. 11:38 Okay, hold on, was it catching the wind, 11:43 chasing or winnowing? 11:45 What was it? Winnowing. 11:47 Winnowing. 11:48 You already know, I know you at home 11:50 already knew the answer. 11:52 So you know what? 11:53 Let's go get our craft. 11:55 Are you ready to make a craft? 11:56 Yes. Yes, go get it. 11:58 Let's go get it, Khalil. 12:00 So no matter what your age or how young or old you are, 12:04 we can always make a habit of being helpful 12:06 like these little helpful lilies. 12:09 Jesus wanted to be helpful. 12:10 Do you like to be helpful at home? 12:12 I hope so. 12:13 So remember, when your mom ask you to do something, 12:15 I hope she doesn't have to ask you 12:17 two or three times 12:19 or even remind you to set the table. 12:21 So let's get out some crafts. 12:23 And here's a straw for you. 12:27 And Roselynn and Aleigha, 12:30 here is a couple more and Ricardo. 12:33 All right, so you know what you get to do on this one, 12:36 is you get to trace your hand. 12:39 So who wants purple? 12:41 Who wants pink? 12:44 Oh, girls like pink? 12:45 Let's get some colors out and let's have fun. 12:51 Yes. 12:55 What color do you see?
