00:27 Hello, boys and girls, and welcome to Bible Buzz,
00:31 where we learn from the B-I-B-L-E.
00:34 B-I-B-L-E!
00:36 And we have fun doing it.
00:37 Hi, my name is Christian Martin,
00:39 and I'm going to be here hosting this fun
00:41 and exciting event
00:43 together with my sidekick, Neto.
00:45 Let's say "Hi, Neto!"
00:46 Hi, Neto! Hi, Neto.
00:48 Hi, everyone.
00:49 We're so glad you're with us, Neto.
00:51 Did you have a good day today so far?
00:52 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54 I ate lunch. Good.
00:55 And there was food there, and I ate it, and it was nice.
00:58 Excellent.
01:00 We like nice food, don't we?
01:02 Yeah. Nice food.
01:03 All right, very good.
01:05 Well, we're joined in today by two awesome teams.
01:08 Let's welcome team number one, The Cardinals.
01:13 All right, Cardinals.
01:15 We are so excited to have the Cardinals with us.
01:17 And team number two, The Eagles.
01:19 Let's welcome The Eagles.
01:21 All right, and the Cardinals and Eagles are joined today
01:26 by those viewing at home,
01:27 and we're so glad you're with us here today.
01:30 We're going to have a fun time taking a look at a Bible story,
01:33 and then we're going to test your knowledge
01:36 to see how well you remember the details.
01:38 And to help us in this event, we have three referees with us.
01:42 We're so glad to have Emily, Callie,
01:44 and Grandma Tina with us.
01:46 Please welcome them.
01:48 All right, we're so glad they're with us.
01:51 Neto, I think these guys are ready to get started.
01:53 What do you say?
01:55 Christian, can you tell us a story?
01:56 I sure can. I was waiting for you to ask.
01:59 Are you guys ready for a story?
02:01 Yes! All right.
02:02 Well, the story I'm going to tell you today
02:05 is about a woman named Hannah.
02:08 Hannah was a dear woman and she had so many things
02:13 to be thankful for.
02:14 But there was one thing, one thing that she really,
02:20 really wanted very bad.
02:22 Ice cream.
02:24 Something even greater than ice cream.
02:27 Two ice creams.
02:29 Even greater than two ice cream.
02:31 You know what she wanted? What?
02:32 All her life as she was growing up,
02:34 she always dreamed about being a mother.
02:37 She wanted a baby.
02:39 How many of you girls like to play with dolls?
02:41 You all play with dolls?
02:42 Oh, it's fun to play with dolls.
02:44 Well, Hannah played with dolls,
02:45 but she grew and became a woman.
02:48 She want to have a baby, but she could not.
02:53 And she would pray to God, and she would say,
02:56 "God, please, please, please give me a baby."
03:00 And Hannah would go to the temple
03:02 several times a day to pray,
03:05 and she would drop down on the ground,
03:07 and she was earnest about it.
03:09 She would plead with God, say, "Please, please!"
03:13 And one day, she was so earnest,
03:15 and she told God, "God, I will make you a promise."
03:20 She says, "If you would give me a baby,"
03:22 she says," I promise
03:24 that this baby will serve in the temple."
03:29 Ah! I think you're right.
03:31 She said that he would serve in the temple,
03:34 and she made this promise too, she says,
03:37 "And I promise that I will never cut his hair."
03:42 Did you guys know that?
03:43 That's what she prayed. That's what she prayed.
03:47 And so she made these vows.
03:48 And as she was praying, the priests of the temple
03:53 one day noticed that, "Oh, who is that?
03:56 Who is that woman praying?"
03:58 Because she was so agonizing with God
04:01 and Eli, his name was Eli.
04:03 He said... Ooh, that's the priest, right?
04:04 The priest. He said, "Oh, that woman...
04:08 That woman is really praying seriously
04:10 with all of her heart."
04:12 And he told that woman, "Listen..."
04:14 No, he said that the rains brought.
04:15 You're right.
04:16 See, these kids are sharp, Neto.
04:18 They know the story. They know...
04:19 They know the story, yeah.
04:20 Hey, maybe they should whip in, Neto.
04:22 You and I should probably sit down
04:24 and have the kids come up here and tell us the story.
04:26 Let them tell the story. Yeah!
04:29 We'll think about that for next time.
04:31 All right, so then...
04:32 So then Eli said that woman,
04:35 God is going to hear her prayers.
04:37 Well, sure enough guess what, God answered her prayer.
04:41 Hannah had a baby and she was so happy,
04:45 she was so happy.
04:46 Was that a cute baby? Oh, extremely cute.
04:49 She made her heart just full of joy.
04:52 And Hannah remembered, "Oh, I did make a promise.
04:56 So I must fulfill my promise."
04:59 So what was her promise?
05:00 She took the baby boy and took him where?
05:03 To the temple. To the temple, that's right.
05:05 Oh, and she did not touch his hair.
05:08 And so she named the boy, Samuel.
05:12 Samuel.
05:13 Do you know what the name Samuel means?
05:16 Do you know what the name Samuel means?
05:17 Let's see.
05:19 Samuel means because God gave him to me.
05:21 Very good, Leah. God gave him to me.
05:24 Samuel.
05:26 And Samuel grew up in the temple.
05:28 And he would every day, he would do chores.
05:31 You have chores, don't you?
05:34 Half of you don't, half of you do.
05:36 How about you at home? Do you have chores?
05:38 I'm sure you do. Kids have chores.
05:40 There's things you got to do.
05:42 When you wake up in the morning,
05:43 there are things you got to do and Samuel knew
05:45 that there were chores to be done.
05:47 And Samuel would sweep the floor in the temple.
05:50 And what else do you think he did, Neto?
05:52 He probably polished the furniture.
05:54 Make sure it was bright and shiny.
05:55 Wash the dishes. What's that?
05:57 Wash the dishes. Wash the dishes.
05:59 And I'm sure he helped
06:02 with the duties of the priest...
06:04 Everything that he had to do. In the temple.
06:06 He followed Eli wherever Eli went.
06:09 And so Samuel grew up and did all this work.
06:12 And so these were long days, and it made him
06:15 very tired at the end of the day.
06:17 And so they would go to bed early
06:19 and Samuel would lay down and close his eyes.
06:22 And one night, something very strange happened.
06:25 Late at night, Samuel, all of a sudden woke up
06:29 'cause he thought he heard something.
06:31 Ah! And he listened.
06:33 Samuel! Samuel!
06:36 And Samuel jumped out of bed, and he said,
06:39 "Eli is calling me."
06:40 So he ran to Eli, and he said, "Eli, Eli, wake up.
06:44 Didn't you just call me?"
06:46 And Eli said, "No, Samuel, no.
06:50 Back to bed, boy, just go back to bed."
06:53 So he did. He was obedient. So he went back to bed.
06:56 And a few moments later, same voice, "Samuel!
07:00 Samuel!" He jumped out of bed again.
07:03 Eli must have changed his mind he thought.
07:06 So he ran to Eli, and he said,
07:08 "Eli, Eli, you're calling me again."
07:12 And Eli said, "No, I'm not.
07:16 You must be hearing things. Go back to bed, boy.
07:19 Go back to bed."
07:21 And guess what, it happened once, twice, three times.
07:25 Samuel heard the same voice, and he returned to Eli.
07:30 And he said, "Eli, I'm not going crazy.
07:33 I've heard you call me three times now."
07:36 And Eli thought, I think I know what is happening.
07:41 And he told Samuel, "Samuel, I tell you what,
07:46 when you hear the voice again, I want you to stay in your bed,
07:51 but I want you to look up towards heaven,
07:54 and I want you to, say, 'Lord, speak, I'm listening.'
07:59 And just listen for a still small voice.
08:03 Will you do that, Samuel?"
08:05 Okay, Eli, that's what I'll do.
08:07 And so he went back to bed and sure enough,
08:10 a few moments later, he heard that same voice, Neto,
08:13 "Samuel, Samuel!"
08:16 And Samuel looked up towards heaven, and he said,
08:18 "Lord, I'm listening."
08:21 And he was quiet, and he heard a still small voice.
08:26 And God, boys and girls, gave Samuel
08:30 an important message
08:32 because when you listen to God, He will speak to you.
08:36 When we...
08:37 When we open our ears of faith, and we say,
08:41 "Lord, do you have something that you want to tell us?"
08:44 God speaks in many different ways,
08:47 and God spoke to Samuel.
08:49 That's our story for today.
08:51 And, boys and girls, if you're at home, stay with us
08:54 'cause when we come back,
08:55 we're going to take a quiz on this story,
08:58 and we're looking forward to seeing you soon.
