Thank you very much.
00:02:35.08\00:02:36.12
Let's remain standing as
we have our scripture reading.
00:02:36.15\00:02:39.34
Alexa is going
to be reading to us
00:02:39.37\00:02:41.41
our scripture reading
this evening is Where Alexa?
00:02:41.44\00:02:44.60
In Mathew 5:19,
"Whoever therefore breaks
00:02:44.63\00:02:49.96
one of the least
of these commandments,
00:02:49.99\00:02:52.44
and teaches men so,
00:02:52.47\00:02:53.83
shall be called least
in the kingdom of heaven,
00:02:53.86\00:02:56.79
but whoever does
and teaches them,
00:02:56.82\00:02:59.48
he shall be called great
in the kingdom of heaven."
00:02:59.51\00:03:03.04
The person doing our prayer
00:03:03.07\00:03:04.39
this evening is
Pastor Paul Hunt.
00:03:04.42\00:03:06.47
He is the senior pastor
here at the Richardson Church.
00:03:06.50\00:03:09.58
Pastor Paul, thank you so much
00:03:09.61\00:03:11.36
for opening your church
up for us for this meeting.
00:03:11.39\00:03:14.11
Absolutely my pleasure.
00:03:14.14\00:03:15.27
We've kind of
rearranged your platform
00:03:15.30\00:03:16.94
just a little bit here,
00:03:16.97\00:03:18.00
but we really
appreciate all your help.
00:03:18.03\00:03:20.06
Well, let's bow our
heads and close our eyes
00:03:20.09\00:03:21.90
as Pastor Paul
leads us in prayer.
00:03:21.93\00:03:24.75
Dear heavenly Father,
we are so grateful to you
00:03:24.78\00:03:27.65
for this wonderful privilege
of being able to join hands
00:03:27.68\00:03:30.16
as it were across the world,
to study the word of Jesus.
00:03:30.19\00:03:33.68
As Pastor Doug
speaks, heavenly Father,
00:03:33.71\00:03:36.04
change these young
lives to form into Your will.
00:03:36.07\00:03:39.89
This is our prayer in
Jesus name, amen. Amen.
00:03:39.92\00:03:43.40
Thank you very much. You
children can take your seat.
00:03:43.43\00:03:45.64
Pastor Paul, before you go,
00:03:45.67\00:03:47.02
we've got something for
you here as our thank you.
00:03:47.05\00:03:50.29
Now these are very rare,
00:03:50.32\00:03:51.81
I think Bonnie,
there's only five of them,
00:03:51.84\00:03:54.13
so this is a rare hat that
means several people thanking.
00:03:54.16\00:03:56.51
We have an
Amazing Adventure cap,
00:03:56.54\00:03:58.08
well, this is for
you. Thank you so much.
00:03:58.11\00:04:00.15
Thank you so
much. We appreciate it.
00:04:00.18\00:04:03.22
I'm going to invite Pastor Doug
00:04:03.25\00:04:04.38
to come forward
for our questions.
00:04:04.41\00:04:06.75
We've had a lot of
questions, those who have been
00:04:06.78\00:04:09.62
sending their questions
at the Amazing Facts website,
00:04:09.65\00:04:12.41
thank you very much.
00:04:12.44\00:04:13.66
We also have
some video questions,
00:04:13.69\00:04:15.11
so let's start with
the video question tonight.
00:04:15.14\00:04:18.81
Hi, my name is Kalicia,
00:04:18.84\00:04:21.01
I'm 9-years-old
and my question is.
00:04:21.04\00:04:24.27
Why is the devil trying
so hard to get rid off us?
00:04:24.30\00:04:28.29
Good question.
00:04:28.32\00:04:29.89
Why is the devil
trying so harder to hurt
00:04:29.92\00:04:32.19
and get rid of us.
00:04:32.22\00:04:33.63
After all what
did we ever do to him?
00:04:33.66\00:04:36.23
You remember, the
devil really hates God.
00:04:36.26\00:04:40.06
He hates Jesus.
00:04:40.09\00:04:41.55
He is consumed
with pride and jealousy.
00:04:41.58\00:04:45.02
The devil
wanted Jesus' position.
00:04:45.05\00:04:47.36
He wanted to be God.
00:04:47.39\00:04:49.32
And he knows how
much God loves you.
00:04:49.35\00:04:52.61
See, the devil was there,
00:04:52.64\00:04:54.07
he saw how much
Jesus gave on the cross
00:04:54.10\00:04:57.21
because the devil was there
00:04:57.24\00:04:58.28
inspiring the people to
torture and crucify Jesus.
00:04:58.31\00:05:02.15
And he knows that God loves you,
00:05:02.18\00:05:03.69
he knows that Jesus loves you
00:05:03.72\00:05:05.22
and he tries to hurt
Jesus by getting you to sin.
00:05:05.25\00:05:09.94
He tries to hurt
Jesus by hurting you.
00:05:09.97\00:05:13.23
If you got a
favorite puppy or toy
00:05:13.26\00:05:16.78
or something that
you really care about,
00:05:16.81\00:05:18.69
and someone wants to hurt you
00:05:18.72\00:05:20.37
and they wreck
something you've created
00:05:20.40\00:05:22.05
or something that you love,
00:05:22.08\00:05:23.36
it hurts you by hurting
something that you love,
00:05:23.39\00:05:26.31
and that's why the
devil does that to us
00:05:26.34\00:05:27.97
because he just hates God, so.
00:05:28.00\00:05:31.39
And but the Lord will protect
us if we ask Him to. Amen.
00:05:31.42\00:05:35.08
Well Pastor Doug, we have
a question that's come in.
00:05:35.11\00:05:37.40
It says, how
we're supposed to know
00:05:37.43\00:05:40.67
which voice is
speaking to our hearts,
00:05:40.70\00:05:42.99
the voice of Jesus
or Satan. Very good.
00:05:43.02\00:05:46.53
Well, sometimes
you'll get impressions.
00:05:46.56\00:05:49.24
You'll feel like you
are getting an impression,
00:05:49.27\00:05:51.54
you're sensing
something in your mind or heart,
00:05:51.57\00:05:53.49
you might want to know,
00:05:53.52\00:05:54.55
Lord, is that You talking
to me or is that another power.
00:05:54.58\00:05:57.92
How can you know the difference?
00:05:57.95\00:05:59.66
Well, first of all,
00:05:59.69\00:06:00.87
the Holy Spirit
will never ask you to do
00:06:00.90\00:06:03.26
something different
from the holy Bible.
00:06:03.29\00:06:06.46
If the holy
Bible is telling you,
00:06:06.49\00:06:08.93
you know not to
break God's commandments
00:06:08.96\00:06:12.28
or what God's will is,
00:06:12.31\00:06:13.63
and you feel like
you're getting an impression
00:06:13.66\00:06:15.28
to do something
contrary to the Bible.
00:06:15.31\00:06:17.98
That's not the Holy Spirit.
00:06:18.01\00:06:19.69
The Holy Spirit will always work
in cooperation with God's Word.
00:06:19.72\00:06:24.53
And so sometimes
you need to just look
00:06:24.56\00:06:26.05
for providence of God's leading,
00:06:26.08\00:06:28.41
you'll have a
peace that you're doing
00:06:28.44\00:06:30.18
what God says in His word.
00:06:30.21\00:06:31.79
And that's all
from the Holy Spirit
00:06:31.82\00:06:33.21
talking to you inside.
00:06:33.24\00:06:34.85
We generally
know the difference.
00:06:34.88\00:06:37.19
All right, we have another
video question at this time.
00:06:37.22\00:06:40.56
Hi, my name is
Johnny, I'm 6-years-old.
00:06:40.59\00:06:43.81
My question is.
00:06:43.84\00:06:45.18
Why Jesus loves us
more than our parents?
00:06:45.21\00:06:50.72
Well, that's a good question.
00:06:50.75\00:06:51.78
Johnny is wanting to know,
00:06:51.81\00:06:53.42
does Jesus loves
children more than our parents?
00:06:53.45\00:06:56.68
Well, the Lord loves everybody.
00:06:56.71\00:06:58.25
But let me ask you a question.
00:06:58.28\00:07:00.59
Would you rather have
a dog or a puppy? Puppy!
00:07:00.62\00:07:04.41
How many would
rather have a puppy,
00:07:04.44\00:07:05.47
let me see your hands.
00:07:05.50\00:07:07.53
Well, isn't a puppy a dog?
00:07:07.56\00:07:09.42
What's the difference
between a puppy and a dog?
00:07:09.45\00:07:12.61
They're younger, they're cuter.
00:07:12.64\00:07:14.98
Would you rather have
a cat or kitty? Kitty.
00:07:15.01\00:07:17.95
You know, the problem is,
00:07:17.98\00:07:20.04
we got a lot of
children in the Batchelor's home
00:07:20.07\00:07:21.84
and they always
want puppies and kitties,
00:07:21.87\00:07:23.28
but didn't they
turn into dogs and cats?
00:07:23.31\00:07:26.35
And so you know
the Lord really loves
00:07:26.38\00:07:28.24
and He protects the young.
00:07:28.27\00:07:29.65
And the Lord is the one
00:07:29.68\00:07:31.31
who made us feel
this attraction for people
00:07:31.34\00:07:33.58
when they're
young and even animals
00:07:33.61\00:07:35.40
when they're
little, they're so cute.
00:07:35.43\00:07:37.12
And so the Lord loves everybody,
00:07:37.15\00:07:38.33
but He especially
protects the children
00:07:38.36\00:07:40.45
because they are more innocent
00:07:40.48\00:07:42.43
and they're
little more defenseless.
00:07:42.46\00:07:44.63
We have another
question that somebody wrote in.
00:07:44.66\00:07:46.61
Is it true that the Bible says
00:07:46.64\00:07:48.20
that man can only
live to a 120 years?
00:07:48.23\00:07:52.47
No, you're probably
getting that from Genesis 6,
00:07:52.50\00:07:56.41
where God said to
Noah that there would be
00:07:56.44\00:07:58.93
a 120 years before the flood.
00:07:58.96\00:08:00.74
God said My Spirit will
not always strive with man,
00:08:00.77\00:08:04.32
his days will be 120 years,
00:08:04.35\00:08:07.19
but the average
life now for people,
00:08:07.22\00:08:10.15
the Bible says is,
three score and ten.
00:08:10.18\00:08:12.46
Who knows what a score is?
00:08:12.49\00:08:14.34
Score is an old
English word for 20.
00:08:14.37\00:08:17.26
So three score is how much?
00:08:17.29\00:08:19.57
60 and 10.
00:08:19.60\00:08:22.15
Seventy is an average.
00:08:22.18\00:08:23.51
Matter of fact,
many parts of the world,
00:08:23.54\00:08:24.90
70 is the average lifespan,
and now with modern medicine
00:08:24.93\00:08:27.80
and good health
practices you can live to 100.
00:08:27.83\00:08:30.28
But that was that just given
in the Bible as an average.
00:08:30.31\00:08:32.72
Before the flood, I'm
not going to tell you,
00:08:32.75\00:08:34.50
we were talking
about that another night.
00:08:34.53\00:08:35.72
All right, very good.
00:08:35.75\00:08:36.78
We have one more video
question I think this evening.
00:08:36.81\00:08:40.26
Hi, my name is Mikey McMierre.
00:08:40.29\00:08:42.85
I'm 9-years-old.
And my question is.
00:08:42.88\00:08:45.26
Did Jesus baptized
anybody? Good question.
00:08:45.29\00:08:49.41
We've a lesson coming
on the subject of baptism,
00:08:49.44\00:08:52.46
and he's asking, did
Jesus baptized anybody?
00:08:52.49\00:08:55.78
Well, we know, John the
Baptist baptized people,
00:08:55.81\00:08:58.29
and probably John's disciples,
00:08:58.32\00:09:00.35
but you can read in the Bible,
in the Gospel of John 4:1, 2
00:09:00.38\00:09:05.10
that Jesus baptized
many but not personally,
00:09:05.13\00:09:08.73
His disciples did the baptizing.
00:09:08.76\00:09:11.45
And so Jesus may have
baptized some of them,
00:09:11.48\00:09:13.96
may be He even baptized
00:09:13.99\00:09:15.13
some of His
apostles that followed Him,
00:09:15.16\00:09:17.42
but there is no
record in the Bible,
00:09:17.45\00:09:18.64
so we are not sure.
00:09:18.67\00:09:19.74
But we know that Jesus' apostles
00:09:19.77\00:09:21.56
did a lot of
baptizing when He was teaching.
00:09:21.59\00:09:24.07
Well, thank you
very much, Pastor Doug,
00:09:24.10\00:09:25.45
that's it for our
Bible questions this evening.
00:09:25.48\00:09:27.40
Again if you have
the Bible question,
00:09:27.43\00:09:29.35
you can go to the
Amazing Facts Kids website
00:09:29.38\00:09:31.87
and type in your Bible question
00:09:31.90\00:09:33.45
and we'll try and
get it on the air.
00:09:33.48\00:09:35.15
Our Amazing Adventure
singers are bringing us
00:09:35.18\00:09:37.25
our special song this evening,
00:09:37.28\00:09:39.38
and I've enjoyed the
music from evening to evening.
00:09:39.41\00:09:42.47
And that song is
entitled ''Always the same.''
00:09:42.50\00:09:45.30
I am His, He is mine
00:09:56.02\00:10:00.01
Jesus knows my name
00:10:00.04\00:10:04.09
I can rest in His arms
00:10:04.12\00:10:07.82
He's always the same
00:10:07.85\00:10:12.18
When I fall, when I call
00:10:12.21\00:10:16.42
Jesus takes my hand
00:10:16.45\00:10:20.42
Cleansing me, lifting me
00:10:20.45\00:10:24.28
He helps me to stand
00:10:24.31\00:10:28.82
Always the same
00:10:28.85\00:10:32.94
O praise His name
00:10:32.97\00:10:36.87
Jesus never changes
00:10:36.90\00:10:40.65
He's always the same
00:10:40.68\00:10:44.90
Always together
His love is forever
00:10:44.93\00:10:52.72
Jesus never changes
00:10:52.75\00:10:56.56
He's always the same
00:10:56.59\00:11:02.84
In His love, I'm secure
00:11:02.87\00:11:06.74
We shall never part
00:11:06.77\00:11:10.77
In His Word I will trust
00:11:10.80\00:11:14.67
And give Him all my heart
00:11:14.70\00:11:18.79
In the dark of the night
00:11:18.82\00:11:23.01
When my heart would fear
00:11:23.04\00:11:27.14
Lovingly, tenderly
00:11:27.17\00:11:30.94
My Savior is near
00:11:30.97\00:11:35.49
Always the same
00:11:35.52\00:11:39.54
O praise His name
00:11:39.57\00:11:43.56
Jesus never changes
00:11:43.59\00:11:47.32
He's always the same
00:11:47.35\00:11:51.58
Always together
00:11:51.61\00:11:55.29
His love is forever
00:11:55.32\00:11:59.48
Jesus never changes
00:11:59.51\00:12:03.15
He's always the same
00:12:03.18\00:12:07.00
Join us.
00:12:07.03\00:12:09.32
Always the same
00:12:09.35\00:12:13.65
O praise His name
00:12:13.68\00:12:17.41
Jesus never changes
00:12:17.44\00:12:21.02
He's always the same
00:12:21.05\00:12:25.15
Always together
00:12:25.18\00:12:28.87
His love is forever
00:12:28.90\00:12:33.16
Jesus never changes
00:12:33.19\00:12:36.93
He's always the same
00:12:36.96\00:12:41.34
Jesus never changes
00:12:41.37\00:12:45.33
He's always the same
00:12:45.36\00:12:50.15
Amen. Good job.
00:12:53.77\00:12:57.74
That's a
beautiful song, isn't it?
00:12:57.77\00:13:00.12
We're learning some new
songs during this series.
00:13:00.15\00:13:03.33
Want to welcome everybody
here at the Richardson Church.
00:13:03.36\00:13:06.45
We are so thankful for
your faithfulness in coming
00:13:06.48\00:13:08.94
and joining us on
this Amazing Adventure.
00:13:08.97\00:13:11.02
Also our
friends, who are watching,
00:13:11.05\00:13:13.29
all these
locations around the world.
00:13:13.32\00:13:15.43
Now I hear there is over 2,700,
is that right, Pastor Ross?
00:13:15.46\00:13:19.62
Wow, praise the Lord.
Some are joining along the way.
00:13:19.65\00:13:22.33
Some schools started on Monday,
00:13:22.36\00:13:25.02
because they've
recorded the program
00:13:25.05\00:13:26.68
and they're doing it
each day in their school
00:13:26.71\00:13:28.74
and it will take them of
course two weeks to do it.
00:13:28.77\00:13:30.89
And we are hoping that you
continue to use these programs,
00:13:30.92\00:13:34.44
they're great for
VBS, for pathfinders,
00:13:34.47\00:13:37.92
for Sabbath
schools, for church schools,
00:13:37.95\00:13:41.84
all kinds of programs.
00:13:41.87\00:13:43.17
We are all on this adventure
together to get to heaven.
00:13:43.20\00:13:46.40
Now have you been
doing your lessons?
00:13:46.43\00:13:48.56
I hope you are
getting your lessons
00:13:48.59\00:13:49.90
as you leave the program,
00:13:49.93\00:13:51.06
the lessons help,
give additional material,
00:13:51.09\00:13:53.87
it's a great amazing facts
in the lessons and stories.
00:13:53.90\00:13:57.26
Tonight's lesson is
dealing with the subject,
00:13:57.29\00:14:00.25
"A day with the
king." A day with the king.
00:14:00.28\00:14:03.98
You know, I'm always
interested in the Bible stories
00:14:04.01\00:14:07.42
and I especially
marvel at the story
00:14:07.45\00:14:10.41
in the Bible about Solomon.
00:14:10.44\00:14:12.45
When Solomon was king,
00:14:12.48\00:14:14.26
Israel was at
its zenith of glory.
00:14:14.29\00:14:17.54
You know, the Bible
says, there was so much gold
00:14:17.57\00:14:19.49
and silver in the kingdom,
00:14:19.52\00:14:21.64
that silver wasn't even counted
00:14:21.67\00:14:23.24
as being worth
anything, was like stones.
00:14:23.27\00:14:26.26
Because everyone was so wealthy,
there was so much prosperity.
00:14:26.29\00:14:29.77
Solomon was a greatest and
richest and the wisest king
00:14:29.80\00:14:32.71
that ever reigned in Israel.
00:14:32.74\00:14:35.58
And the word about his
wisdom spread everywhere
00:14:35.61\00:14:40.33
and people came
from all different
00:14:40.36\00:14:41.73
parts of the world.
00:14:41.76\00:14:42.91
One special queen came
all the way to Jerusalem,
00:14:42.94\00:14:46.53
probably
traveled hundreds of miles
00:14:46.56\00:14:48.25
with the
caravan filled with gold
00:14:48.28\00:14:51.05
and she gave all
these gifts to Solomon,
00:14:51.08\00:14:52.85
just to spend time
and listen to his wisdom,
00:14:52.88\00:14:56.00
to spend that kind
of time with the king.
00:14:56.03\00:14:58.70
Wouldn't you've
liked to seen Israel
00:14:58.73\00:15:00.38
during the time of Solomon?
00:15:00.41\00:15:03.07
You know our family one
time went to Washington D.C.
00:15:03.10\00:15:06.08
And we got the permission
to visit the White House.
00:15:06.11\00:15:09.87
And that was kind of exciting,
going through the White House.
00:15:09.90\00:15:12.53
Matter of fact, one of
the security guards there,
00:15:12.56\00:15:14.58
the secret service
people with their ear piece
00:15:14.61\00:15:16.61
you know, he went like this.
00:15:16.64\00:15:19.14
And I thought that may be
one of our kids were misbehaving
00:15:19.17\00:15:21.50
or touching the
valuable painting,
00:15:21.53\00:15:23.44
and I came over and I thought,
00:15:23.47\00:15:24.50
no, I'm in trouble
now, what did we do.
00:15:24.53\00:15:26.63
He said, we enjoy your programs.
00:15:26.66\00:15:29.82
And I thought,
oh that's exciting.
00:15:29.85\00:15:31.04
People in the
White House are watching.
00:15:31.07\00:15:33.71
But you know it was
fun seeing the White House
00:15:33.74\00:15:35.51
but we didn't get
to see the president.
00:15:35.54\00:15:38.22
If I had a chance to either
00:15:38.25\00:15:39.95
see the White House
or talk to the president,
00:15:39.98\00:15:42.63
I'd rather spent
time with the president.
00:15:42.66\00:15:45.40
You know, I
heard a few years ago,
00:15:45.43\00:15:47.11
in 2006 Queen Elizabeth,
for her 80th birthday,
00:15:47.14\00:15:50.92
she opened up Buckingham
palace and she invited children
00:15:50.95\00:15:54.96
from all over
British empire to come
00:15:54.99\00:15:57.44
and help celebrate
her birthday with her.
00:15:57.47\00:16:00.52
How would you like to
have a day with the king
00:16:00.55\00:16:03.28
or queen or president?
00:16:03.31\00:16:05.50
All special personal attention,
00:16:05.53\00:16:07.69
be able to come
and sit at their table
00:16:07.72\00:16:09.73
and eat with them
and talk with them,
00:16:09.76\00:16:11.01
wouldn't that be exciting.
00:16:11.04\00:16:13.17
Well, you know, you
do. You do have a chance.
00:16:13.20\00:16:16.88
The Bible says, that God,
00:16:16.91\00:16:18.79
not the King of
England or the Queen of England
00:16:18.82\00:16:22.98
or the president
of the United States,
00:16:23.01\00:16:24.52
but the God, the King
of the whole universe,
00:16:24.55\00:16:27.22
the whole cosmos.
00:16:27.25\00:16:29.10
He loves you so much,
00:16:29.13\00:16:30.21
He wants to have a
special appointment
00:16:30.24\00:16:31.90
with you every week.
00:16:31.93\00:16:34.06
You know what's
that called? The Sabbath.
00:16:34.09\00:16:37.61
It's one of the Ten Commandments
00:16:37.64\00:16:39.39
a lot of people
have forgotten about,
00:16:39.42\00:16:41.51
that is very
important to the Lord.
00:16:41.54\00:16:43.71
Now let me tell you why?
00:16:43.74\00:16:45.92
You live in
something called time.
00:16:45.95\00:16:50.13
We live in time.
00:16:50.16\00:16:51.37
How many of you have a watch on.
00:16:51.40\00:16:53.82
Some of you got a watch on.
00:16:53.85\00:16:56.95
Your watch doesn't change time,
00:16:56.98\00:16:59.19
it tells you how
much time there is.
00:16:59.22\00:17:01.73
You remember the illustration
with the candles last night.
00:17:01.76\00:17:05.12
Trying to
illustrate that we only get
00:17:05.15\00:17:06.65
so much time in our lives.
00:17:06.68\00:17:09.46
When two people fall in love,
00:17:09.49\00:17:10.92
it's because they
spent time together.
00:17:10.95\00:17:13.56
And it's so important
for us to have time with God,
00:17:13.59\00:17:17.12
so our love for God will grow.
00:17:17.15\00:17:19.08
The devil does
not want us to have
00:17:19.11\00:17:21.33
our special time with
God, and so he has got
00:17:21.36\00:17:24.38
one of the Ten
Commandments under attack.
00:17:24.41\00:17:26.71
And it's the fourth commandment,
00:17:26.74\00:17:28.77
it's called the Sabbath day.
00:17:28.80\00:17:30.26
Well, let's get
to question number 1.
00:17:30.29\00:17:31.69
We' will talk about more of
this as we get into the lesson.
00:17:31.72\00:17:35.41
What day does Jesus,
the King of the Universe,
00:17:35.44\00:17:38.93
want me to spend with Him?
00:17:38.96\00:17:41.06
Answer is in Exodus,
this is the Ten Commandments,
00:17:41.09\00:17:44.15
Chapter 20: 8, 11.
00:17:44.18\00:17:48.21
"Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
00:17:48.24\00:17:51.28
The Lord blessed the
Sabbath day and hallowed it."
00:17:51.31\00:17:54.39
That means He
made this day, holy.
00:17:54.42\00:17:57.01
Now is Sabbath
supposed to be an exciting day,
00:17:57.04\00:17:59.59
a happy day or a
sad day? Happy day.
00:17:59.62\00:18:01.81
If you got to spend
the day with the king,
00:18:01.84\00:18:03.36
isn't that exciting? Yes.
00:18:03.39\00:18:06.26
The Bible says, in Isaiah 58
00:18:06.29\00:18:08.18
"We should call
the Sabbath a delight."
00:18:08.21\00:18:10.84
When some thing is
delightful as that, exciting.
00:18:10.87\00:18:14.01
You know what else
the Sabbath is for?
00:18:14.04\00:18:16.23
Do people need rest?
00:18:16.26\00:18:18.32
Not only do you
need rest every night,
00:18:18.35\00:18:20.19
your parents have to
sometimes tell you to go to bed
00:18:20.22\00:18:22.19
when you don't
want to go to bed,
00:18:22.22\00:18:23.50
if you want to stay up.
00:18:23.53\00:18:24.82
Why did they
tell you to go to bed?
00:18:24.85\00:18:27.04
Because they love you
00:18:27.07\00:18:28.14
and they know you need
rest and if you don't get rest,
00:18:28.17\00:18:30.46
sometimes you don't do
well at school the next day.
00:18:30.49\00:18:33.37
May be you are crabby
00:18:33.40\00:18:34.68
or you get tired
from doing your chores,
00:18:34.71\00:18:38.54
and you need rest.
00:18:38.57\00:18:39.70
Well, not only does
your body need physical rest,
00:18:39.73\00:18:43.26
your soul, your spirit,
your mind needs spiritual rest.
00:18:43.29\00:18:49.16
And God has outlined in
His word a time every week.
00:18:49.19\00:18:53.67
When we put
aside mowing the lawn,
00:18:53.70\00:18:56.08
we put aside our homework,
00:18:56.11\00:18:59.31
you don't have to go to
the mall and watch mama shop.
00:18:59.34\00:19:03.07
It's a time to rest.
00:19:03.10\00:19:05.56
And spent time with the
Lord and with your family
00:19:05.59\00:19:08.79
and a time to recharge
your batteries, spiritually.
00:19:08.82\00:19:12.72
Number 2. Which
day is the Sabbath?
00:19:12.75\00:19:16.70
And does it matter?
00:19:16.73\00:19:18.54
The Bible says, Exodus
20, I heard many of you
00:19:18.57\00:19:20.90
knew the answer to
that, say it with me,
00:19:20.93\00:19:22.92
"The Seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord your God."
00:19:22.95\00:19:28.87
Now how many days in a month?
00:19:28.90\00:19:32.82
30. About 30.
00:19:32.85\00:19:34.74
Do you know why?
00:19:34.77\00:19:36.97
Because much of the
world, all these civilizations,
00:19:37.00\00:19:40.51
they had a month
with about 27 to 30 days
00:19:40.54\00:19:43.66
because that's how
long it takes for the moon
00:19:43.69\00:19:46.44
to go through a complete cycle
00:19:46.47\00:19:47.89
from full moon
back to full moon.
00:19:47.92\00:19:50.81
That's where you get
the word month from moon.
00:19:50.84\00:19:54.29
How many days in a year?
00:19:54.32\00:19:58.82
Some of you got that one wrong.
00:19:58.85\00:20:00.31
365 you know why?
00:20:00.34\00:20:02.69
Because it takes 365 days,
00:20:02.72\00:20:05.93
matter of fact I
got a world back here.
00:20:05.96\00:20:08.59
It takes 365 days for the earth
00:20:08.62\00:20:11.79
to go completely around the sun.
00:20:11.82\00:20:14.06
I may use this again
later, we'll see what happens.
00:20:14.09\00:20:15.96
How many days in a week?
00:20:20.26\00:20:21.99
Seven. Why?
00:20:22.02\00:20:27.60
Anything in the
sun, moon or stars
00:20:27.63\00:20:29.30
that give us the seven day week?
00:20:29.33\00:20:31.96
Everywhere in the world,
00:20:31.99\00:20:34.34
the countries have
a seven day week, why?
00:20:34.37\00:20:37.46
There's one place you can
trace, a seven day week too.
00:20:37.49\00:20:41.49
It's not in the
stars it's in the word,
00:20:41.52\00:20:44.85
even in countries like China,
00:20:44.88\00:20:46.47
where they don't
believe in the Bible,
00:20:46.50\00:20:48.79
in some of the
communist countries
00:20:48.82\00:20:50.29
and countries
of other religions,
00:20:50.32\00:20:52.12
they still have
a seven day week.
00:20:52.15\00:20:54.38
It's because in the Bible,
00:20:54.41\00:20:56.13
God created the
world in seven days
00:20:56.16\00:20:57.98
and all the nations of
the world adopted that.
00:20:58.01\00:21:01.07
And God set aside one
day as a special day of rest
00:21:01.10\00:21:03.99
and it's the seventh
day. Let's read about this.
00:21:04.02\00:21:06.69
In Mark 16:1 and 2
we're going to find out
00:21:06.72\00:21:08.86
what day is the seventh day.
00:21:08.89\00:21:11.85
"Now when the
Sabbath was past..."
00:21:11.88\00:21:14.10
he's talking
about after Jesus died
00:21:14.13\00:21:16.74
and He was
raising from the dead. "
00:21:16.77\00:21:20.46
Very early in the morning,
on the first day of the week,"
00:21:20.49\00:21:24.43
the Bible tells us
"they came to the tomb
00:21:24.46\00:21:26.59
when the sun had risen."
00:21:26.62\00:21:28.31
Now who knows
what day of the week
00:21:28.34\00:21:30.31
did Jesus rise
from the dead? Sunday.
00:21:30.34\00:21:33.04
Sunday, that's right,
00:21:33.07\00:21:34.59
that's the
first day of the week.
00:21:34.62\00:21:36.07
If you look in any dictionary
00:21:36.10\00:21:37.51
it will say Sunday,
the first day of the week.
00:21:37.54\00:21:39.35
If you look on
a normal calendar,
00:21:39.38\00:21:41.15
it will show first
day of the week, Sunday.
00:21:41.18\00:21:43.25
Jesus rose Sunday morning
00:21:43.28\00:21:45.94
and what we
would call the morning
00:21:45.97\00:21:47.11
of the first day of the week.
00:21:47.14\00:21:48.73
What day then
is the seventh day?
00:21:48.76\00:21:52.14
Saturday.
00:21:52.17\00:21:53.20
Matter of fact, if you
don't believe Pastor Doug,
00:21:53.23\00:21:54.89
you can look in
the encyclopedia,
00:21:54.92\00:21:56.58
you can look in the dictionary,
00:21:56.61\00:21:58.25
it will say seventh day,
00:21:58.28\00:21:59.73
Saturday,
seventh day of the week.
00:21:59.76\00:22:02.07
Now God says, that
He's blessed the seventh day
00:22:02.10\00:22:05.23
and He wants us to
remember the seventh day
00:22:05.26\00:22:07.54
but lot of people are
forgetting about that,
00:22:07.57\00:22:10.12
and that's a
very important truth
00:22:10.15\00:22:11.43
the Lord wants us to learn,
00:22:11.46\00:22:13.17
because the more
time we spend with God,
00:22:13.20\00:22:16.56
the more we know Him,
00:22:16.59\00:22:17.85
the more we know
Him, the more we love Him.
00:22:17.88\00:22:20.01
The more we love Him,
the better we serve Him.
00:22:20.04\00:22:22.46
The devil does not want you
to know the truth about this
00:22:22.49\00:22:24.86
because he
doesn't want you to have
00:22:24.89\00:22:26.04
the power of love for the Lord.
00:22:26.07\00:22:29.69
You know something interesting,
In 105 languages of the world,
00:22:29.72\00:22:34.58
the way you say the
seventh day of the week
00:22:34.61\00:22:37.20
is the word for Sabbath day.
00:22:37.23\00:22:40.16
Matter of fact, I speak
in Russian it's Subbota.
00:22:40.19\00:22:43.47
Who here speaks Spanish?
00:22:43.50\00:22:44.56
We get some of
you speak Spanish.
00:22:44.59\00:22:46.57
How do you say
Saturday in Spanish?
00:22:46.60\00:22:49.28
Sabado, oh, a lot of
you knew that, Sabado right.
00:22:49.31\00:22:52.89
And it's not only
that way in Spanish,
00:22:52.92\00:22:55.30
in English, rather in Russian
00:22:55.33\00:22:57.39
and many different
languages, about 105 languages,
00:22:57.42\00:23:01.39
their word for Saturday
00:23:01.42\00:23:03.27
is the
equivalent of Sabbath day.
00:23:03.30\00:23:05.40
Matter of fact in Persian,
their word for seventh day
00:23:05.43\00:23:08.24
is the
pleasantest day of the week.
00:23:08.27\00:23:11.25
And so, this goes all the
way back to the Tower of Babel.
00:23:11.28\00:23:14.85
When everybody
kept the same day,
00:23:14.88\00:23:17.04
but something
happened. Question number 3.
00:23:17.07\00:23:20.68
Where did the Sabbath came from
00:23:20.71\00:23:23.09
and how long has it been
a special day for our king?
00:23:23.12\00:23:25.80
We're going to go to
the Bible for our answer.
00:23:25.83\00:23:28.05
All the way back,
you get your Bibles.
00:23:28.08\00:23:30.32
All the way back in the
very beginning of the Bible,
00:23:30.35\00:23:32.47
who knows what the
first book of the Bible is?
00:23:32.50\00:23:34.42
Genesis.
00:23:34.45\00:23:35.77
Genesis in
chapter 1 of the Bible,
00:23:35.80\00:23:38.88
you could read
of course verse 1,
00:23:38.91\00:23:41.39
"In the beginning" you
could read it off the screen
00:23:41.42\00:23:43.53
if you don't have
the Bible with you,
00:23:43.56\00:23:44.66
those who are watching.
00:23:44.69\00:23:46.58
"In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth."
00:23:46.61\00:23:51.49
Now you go to Chapter
2, and it says in verse 2,
00:23:51.52\00:23:56.35
"And on the seventh
day God ended His work
00:23:56.38\00:24:00.84
which He had done"
00:24:00.87\00:24:03.18
And so right at
the very beginning
00:24:03.21\00:24:05.53
God established the Sabbath.
00:24:05.56\00:24:07.24
That was part of
God's perfect plan.
00:24:07.27\00:24:09.80
Now did Adam and Eve
when God made the Sabbath.
00:24:09.83\00:24:13.40
Was there any
sin in the world? No.
00:24:13.43\00:24:15.96
That was part of God's
perfect plan long before sin
00:24:15.99\00:24:20.29
and God never changed it,
00:24:20.32\00:24:21.54
it's still part
of His perfect plan.
00:24:21.57\00:24:23.85
And it says "That God
rested on the seventh day
00:24:23.88\00:24:27.26
from all His work
which He had done."
00:24:27.29\00:24:30.00
Did God rest
because He was tired? No.
00:24:30.03\00:24:32.81
Does God ever get tired? No.
00:24:32.84\00:24:34.93
We'd be in
trouble if God got tired
00:24:34.96\00:24:36.97
and didn't take care of us.
00:24:37.00\00:24:38.88
God rested as an
example for you and me.
00:24:38.91\00:24:41.31
He spent special time
with Adam and Eve on that time.
00:24:41.34\00:24:44.51
Then the Lord
did something else,
00:24:44.54\00:24:46.58
"Then God
blessed the seventh day
00:24:46.61\00:24:48.80
and He sanctified it,
00:24:48.83\00:24:50.49
because in it He
rested from all His work
00:24:50.52\00:24:52.94
which God created and made."
00:24:52.97\00:24:54.79
Now I want you
to notice something.
00:24:54.82\00:24:56.24
Three times in the
beginning of the Bible,
00:24:56.27\00:24:58.53
it says, the seventh day,
00:24:58.56\00:25:00.79
the seventh
day, the seventh day.
00:25:00.82\00:25:03.54
When God does
something three times like that,
00:25:03.57\00:25:05.74
that's a symbol.
00:25:05.77\00:25:06.80
The number 3 is a
symbol for God like that.
00:25:06.83\00:25:09.45
Because you got God the father,
00:25:09.48\00:25:10.73
God the Son, God the Spirit,
the angels say holy, holy, holy.
00:25:10.76\00:25:14.06
God says, the
seventh day, the seventh day,
00:25:14.09\00:25:15.97
the seventh day in the
beginning of the Bible,
00:25:16.00\00:25:18.81
and in the end of the Bible,
there's a number for the beast.
00:25:18.84\00:25:20.86
Who knows what that
number is for the beast?
00:25:20.89\00:25:23.87
666, that's right.
00:25:23.90\00:25:26.29
Front of the Bible, the
God says the seventh day,
00:25:26.32\00:25:28.12
the seventh day, the seventh day
00:25:28.15\00:25:29.18
and at the end of
the Bible it's going 666,
00:25:29.21\00:25:30.87
that's a number for man.
00:25:30.90\00:25:32.77
The number for God is
a special number of 7.
00:25:32.80\00:25:36.61
And so this is a very
important thing for us to learn.
00:25:36.64\00:25:39.41
Number 4.
00:25:39.44\00:25:41.15
Does God want
everyone to worship Him
00:25:41.18\00:25:43.57
on the Sabbath day?
00:25:43.60\00:25:44.96
Now what do the
Ten Commandments say?
00:25:44.99\00:25:47.43
First of all
Jesus says in Mark 2:27.
00:25:47.46\00:25:52.02
I hope you can all read this,
"The Sabbath was made for Jews."
00:25:52.05\00:25:57.50
Is that what it says?
00:25:57.53\00:25:59.40
Isn't that how
you spell Jews, M-A-N.
00:25:59.43\00:26:03.97
No, you remember Jesus was a Jew
00:26:04.00\00:26:06.23
and He preached
to Jewish people.
00:26:06.26\00:26:08.10
And some folks have said,
well, since Moses was a Jew
00:26:08.13\00:26:10.67
and he wrote the
Ten Commandments,
00:26:10.70\00:26:12.28
Sabbath is just for Jews.
00:26:12.31\00:26:14.43
Did Jesus say it
was for Jews or for man,
00:26:14.46\00:26:16.40
many mankind, many humans.
00:26:16.43\00:26:19.61
How many humans here?
00:26:19.64\00:26:22.52
Did anyone not raise their hand?
00:26:22.55\00:26:24.68
Any aliens here? No,
I know you'd do that.
00:26:24.71\00:26:29.57
All right let's go back,
00:26:29.60\00:26:30.63
let's read what the
Ten Commandments say?
00:26:30.66\00:26:33.04
Exodus 20:8. Now
this will be reverent.
00:26:33.07\00:26:37.13
"Remember the Sabbath
day, to keep it holy."
00:26:37.16\00:26:40.46
You know why God said remember,
00:26:40.49\00:26:43.13
because He knew
that people would forget.
00:26:43.16\00:26:46.61
Do you know that God didn't say,
00:26:46.64\00:26:48.17
remember the Sabbath
day and make it holy.
00:26:48.20\00:26:50.97
It already is holy. He
said, we keep it holy."
00:26:51.00\00:26:55.99
We can't make it a holy,
00:26:56.02\00:26:57.20
God says it is holy and I want
to keep it the way I made it.
00:26:57.23\00:27:00.44
"Six days you shall
labor and do all of your work,
00:27:00.47\00:27:03.89
but the seventh day
00:27:03.92\00:27:04.99
is the Sabbath of
the Jewish people"
00:27:05.02\00:27:07.84
is that what it says? No.
00:27:07.87\00:27:09.87
oh, no it says, "The
Sabbath of the Lord, your God.
00:27:09.90\00:27:14.49
In it you shall not do any work,
00:27:14.52\00:27:16.94
you, or your son" He
wants the children to rest.
00:27:16.97\00:27:20.01
'Or your daughter, nor
your male or female servants,
00:27:20.04\00:27:24.29
nor your cattle
nor the stranger"
00:27:24.32\00:27:26.26
he even wants the animals.
00:27:26.29\00:27:27.70
Back then they used to ride
the horses to pull the plough,
00:27:27.73\00:27:29.97
and the donkeys and
the oxen and the goats,
00:27:30.00\00:27:32.91
and they all got to rest.
00:27:32.94\00:27:36.22
So if the Lord even
wants the animals to rest,
00:27:36.25\00:27:38.39
do you think
Sabbath is just for Jews
00:27:38.42\00:27:40.50
or is it for all the
world. All the world.
00:27:40.53\00:27:44.45
"Nor the
cattle, nor the stranger
00:27:44.48\00:27:46.01
who is within your
gates, for here's why."
00:27:46.04\00:27:49.35
For in six days the
Lord made the heavens
00:27:49.38\00:27:52.04
and the earth and the sea,
00:27:52.07\00:27:53.81
and all that is in them,
and he rested the seventh day.
00:27:53.84\00:27:58.08
Therefore the Lord
blessed the Sabbath day
00:27:58.11\00:28:01.08
and hallowed it."
00:28:01.11\00:28:02.40
God did something
very special to this day,
00:28:02.43\00:28:05.12
He didn't do to any other day.
00:28:05.15\00:28:06.49
Now I'm so thankful,
00:28:06.52\00:28:07.78
that the Batchelor
family is able to join me,
00:28:07.81\00:28:10.74
I like to invite, Steven
00:28:10.77\00:28:12.16
if you could grab
that table for me.
00:28:12.19\00:28:14.19
Steven Batchelor is here
00:28:14.22\00:28:15.64
and if Mrs.
Batchelor could come up front,
00:28:15.67\00:28:17.47
maybe she's going to
help me with an illustration.
00:28:17.50\00:28:20.51
And I like to demonstrate
something for you here
00:28:20.54\00:28:23.75
that will help you understand
00:28:23.78\00:28:25.90
that there is a
difference in days.
00:28:25.93\00:28:29.18
And I'll let you-
this is Mrs. Batchelor.
00:28:29.21\00:28:31.20
Can you all say,
hi, Mrs. Batchelor?"
00:28:31.23\00:28:32.77
Hi, Mrs. Batchelor. Okay.
00:28:32.80\00:28:34.66
This is Steven Bathcelor.
00:28:34.69\00:28:36.08
You say hi, Steven. Hi, Steven.
00:28:36.11\00:28:39.07
I wanted him to help
00:28:39.10\00:28:40.13
even though he is a little
lower than the average age
00:28:40.16\00:28:43.19
for the Amazing
Adventure Kids, okay.
00:28:43.22\00:28:46.02
So here we've got seven cups.
00:28:46.05\00:28:49.03
And I'm going to
ask Mrs. Batchelor
00:28:49.06\00:28:50.85
to help me with
this illustration
00:28:50.88\00:28:52.43
because I'm afraid
00:28:52.46\00:28:53.63
that I would
spill something here.
00:28:53.66\00:28:55.39
Let me see, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
00:28:55.42\00:28:57.92
1, 2, 3, 4,5,6,7
00:28:57.95\00:28:59.47
just want to double check, okay.
00:28:59.50\00:29:01.11
Now, each one of these
represents the day of the week.
00:29:01.14\00:29:04.03
And on the first day,
00:29:04.06\00:29:05.09
let's put a little
water in the first day,
00:29:05.12\00:29:06.53
who knows what God
made the first day?
00:29:06.56\00:29:09.15
What did He made? Light.
00:29:09.18\00:29:12.98
First day, God made light.
00:29:13.01\00:29:15.36
All right on the second day,
00:29:15.39\00:29:17.57
God, He
separated the atmosphere,
00:29:17.60\00:29:24.50
the clouds and the land
and He created the atmosphere.
00:29:24.53\00:29:27.35
The third day
God created the land
00:29:27.38\00:29:30.47
and He made the vegetation.
00:29:30.50\00:29:32.83
On the fourth
day, God made the sun,
00:29:32.86\00:29:35.47
the moon and the stars.
00:29:35.50\00:29:38.25
On the firth day, God
made the creatures in the sea
00:29:38.28\00:29:41.35
and the creatures in the air,
00:29:41.38\00:29:42.41
meaning the fish and the birds.
00:29:42.44\00:29:45.53
On the sixth day,
God made the animals,
00:29:45.56\00:29:49.96
the land animals
and He also made man
00:29:49.99\00:29:52.91
and as a crowning
act of His creation
00:29:52.94\00:29:54.85
God made woman, right.
00:29:54.88\00:29:57.23
Okay, but God wasn't done.
00:29:57.26\00:29:58.99
How many days
in the week? Seven.
00:29:59.02\00:30:01.16
What did God make
on the seventh day?
00:30:01.19\00:30:05.44
He didn't make
anything you can touch,
00:30:05.47\00:30:08.24
He didn't make
anything you can see.
00:30:08.27\00:30:11.69
Oh, but He did.
00:30:11.72\00:30:14.05
God did something
special to the seventh day.
00:30:14.08\00:30:17.39
It says that He made it,
00:30:17.42\00:30:18.74
that must have been magic water.
00:30:18.77\00:30:21.32
The Bible says,
God rested on that day,
00:30:21.35\00:30:25.11
God blessed that day,
and God sanctified that day.
00:30:25.14\00:30:29.62
That day is different
than every other day, isn't it?
00:30:29.65\00:30:33.23
Can you see the difference? Yes.
00:30:33.26\00:30:35.50
And He's got
something very sweet for you,
00:30:35.53\00:30:37.90
in that day that He
doesn't want you to miss.
00:30:37.93\00:30:40.30
But the devil wants
you to forget about it,
00:30:40.33\00:30:41.52
now I haven't thought about it,
00:30:41.55\00:30:42.58
how we're going to
get rid of all these.
00:30:42.61\00:30:44.07
You can pour that
all back in there dear.
00:30:44.10\00:30:47.46
Except this one.
00:30:47.49\00:30:50.26
And I'm going to go
on with my lesson here.
00:30:50.29\00:30:52.86
All right, now is the
Sabbath just for Jews?
00:30:52.89\00:30:55.82
Listen to what it
says in Isaiah 56: 6, 7
00:30:55.85\00:31:00.56
"Also the sons
of the foreigner."
00:31:00.59\00:31:03.32
These are people who aren't
even part of the Jewish nation.
00:31:03.35\00:31:06.27
That means children
from all over the world too,"
00:31:06.30\00:31:09.12
Who join themselves to
the Lord, to serve Him,
00:31:09.15\00:31:11.82
and to love the
name of the Lord,
00:31:11.85\00:31:14.34
it says to be His servants,
00:31:14.37\00:31:16.05
everyone who keeps
from defiling the Sabbath,
00:31:16.08\00:31:19.59
And holds fast My covenant."
00:31:19.62\00:31:22.10
This is for people everywhere."
00:31:22.13\00:31:23.80
Even them I will bring to
my holy mountain, and make."
00:31:23.83\00:31:27.52
Can you read that
word "Make them joyful
00:31:27.55\00:31:31.19
in My house of prayer."
00:31:31.22\00:31:33.04
He says the sons of
the strangers, foreigners,
00:31:33.07\00:31:35.08
people from all over the world.
00:31:35.11\00:31:37.37
The Sabbath was for
everybody and it still is.
00:31:37.40\00:31:41.38
Now some people
thought, well didn't Moses,
00:31:41.41\00:31:44.08
didn't he write
the Ten Commandments,
00:31:44.11\00:31:45.42
and didn't he give
it to the Jewish nation.
00:31:45.45\00:31:47.48
Didn't the
Sabbath begin with Moses?
00:31:47.51\00:31:50.42
No, Sabbath goes
back to Adam and Eve.
00:31:50.45\00:31:53.00
And I can prove
that the Sabbath day
00:31:53.03\00:31:54.87
actually began long before,
00:31:54.90\00:31:57.38
they got to Mount Sinai and
God wrote it with His finger
00:31:57.41\00:32:00.02
and spoke with His voice.
00:32:00.05\00:32:02.41
You remember when Moses
brought the children of Israel
00:32:02.44\00:32:05.13
across the Red Sea
00:32:05.16\00:32:07.65
and they went
into the wilderness
00:32:07.68\00:32:09.47
and they had no food.
00:32:09.50\00:32:10.84
And the people got
hungry, so what did God do?
00:32:10.87\00:32:14.46
Manna came down from heaven.
00:32:14.49\00:32:16.76
Matter of fact, six days a week,
00:32:16.79\00:32:18.64
manna came down from heaven,
00:32:18.67\00:32:19.96
they gather it, and they eat it.
00:32:19.99\00:32:22.09
And I suppose those
children had fun going out
00:32:22.12\00:32:23.98
and just picking
their breakfast up
00:32:24.01\00:32:26.34
off the ground in the
little bushes out there,
00:32:26.37\00:32:29.63
these little round things
that tastes like honey wafers
00:32:29.66\00:32:32.77
and then they would eat them.
00:32:32.80\00:32:34.44
But on the seventh
day, there wasn't any.
00:32:34.47\00:32:38.99
They get twice
as much on Friday.
00:32:39.02\00:32:41.30
Well, some of them went out
00:32:41.33\00:32:42.36
looking for on the seventh
day and they didn't find it.
00:32:42.39\00:32:44.31
Let me read this
to you, Exodus 16:25,"
00:32:44.34\00:32:47.58
Then Moses said, Eat that today,
00:32:47.61\00:32:50.60
for today is a
Sabbath to the Lord,
00:32:50.63\00:32:53.03
today you will not
find it in the fields."
00:32:53.06\00:32:56.28
They would gather twice as
much of the manna on Friday
00:32:56.31\00:32:59.89
and they were would not be
any of it on the Sabbath day.
00:32:59.92\00:33:02.67
Now notice something.
00:33:02.70\00:33:04.18
In Exodus 16, that's when you
find the story about the manna
00:33:04.21\00:33:08.86
and God is
talking about the Sabbath,
00:33:08.89\00:33:11.02
as though they know what it is.
00:33:11.05\00:33:12.78
He has not given them
the Ten Commandments yet,
00:33:12.81\00:33:14.85
the Ten Commandments
don't come until Exodus 20.
00:33:14.88\00:33:18.78
And so I think it's very
clear from the Bible that
00:33:18.81\00:33:22.15
the Sabbath goes
all the way back.
00:33:22.18\00:33:24.32
All right, question number 5.
00:33:24.35\00:33:26.87
Why do so many people
worship God on Sunday now?
00:33:26.90\00:33:30.42
Have the Ten
Commandments been changed?
00:33:30.45\00:33:34.36
Does the Lord change?
00:33:34.39\00:33:35.69
Didn't the Bible say,
I'm the Lord, I change not.
00:33:35.72\00:33:39.15
Jesus Christ is
saying yesterday, today,
00:33:39.18\00:33:41.22
and forever in
the Book of Hebrews.
00:33:41.25\00:33:43.97
But many people
haven't heard the truth.
00:33:44.00\00:33:45.66
I remember I grew
up, and you know what?
00:33:45.69\00:33:49.05
My mom is Jewish,
00:33:49.08\00:33:51.17
and I should have known
about the seventh-day Sabbath
00:33:51.20\00:33:53.11
but when I first
became a Christian,
00:33:53.14\00:33:55.27
I never heard of it.
00:33:55.30\00:33:56.65
And a lot of
dear Christian people
00:33:56.68\00:33:58.28
don't know about it.
00:33:58.31\00:33:59.62
Some pastors do know
00:33:59.65\00:34:00.82
but they're
pretending they don't see it.
00:34:00.85\00:34:02.45
It's a very plain truth.
00:34:02.48\00:34:04.87
Matter of fact,
there's a church,
00:34:04.90\00:34:06.37
here that keeps the Sabbath day.
00:34:06.40\00:34:07.92
There's another
denomination across the street
00:34:07.95\00:34:09.80
that keeps the Sabbath day.
00:34:09.83\00:34:11.19
More and more
churches around the world
00:34:11.22\00:34:12.98
are learning the
truth about the Sabbath.
00:34:13.01\00:34:15.07
Before Jesus comes back,
00:34:15.10\00:34:16.27
a lot of people are
returning to the Bible truth.
00:34:16.30\00:34:19.12
It says in Ezekiel 22:26,
00:34:19.15\00:34:22.44
"Her priests
have violated My law
00:34:22.47\00:34:25.41
and profaned My holy things."
00:34:25.44\00:34:28.53
Even some pastors and priests
are hiding their eyes from it.
00:34:28.56\00:34:32.24
It says they have hidden
their eyes from My Sabbaths."
00:34:32.27\00:34:36.19
God foretold in the
Bible long time ago,
00:34:36.22\00:34:38.33
that this was going to happen.
00:34:38.36\00:34:40.03
You know why?
00:34:40.06\00:34:41.96
Sometimes it's easier
to give a person some money
00:34:41.99\00:34:45.25
than to give them your time.
00:34:45.28\00:34:47.51
There are some dads,
00:34:47.54\00:34:48.57
it's easier to
give their children
00:34:48.60\00:34:50.57
a birthday present
than to give them a day.
00:34:50.60\00:34:53.64
And God says if you
show me that you love Me,
00:34:53.67\00:34:55.57
give Me your time.
00:34:55.60\00:34:57.31
You know what life is
made of? Life is made of time.
00:34:57.34\00:35:02.30
And every Sabbath when
we give the Lord our time,
00:35:02.33\00:35:05.19
we are giving Him our life.
00:35:05.22\00:35:06.68
I believe He gives us
more life and longer life
00:35:06.71\00:35:09.17
when we give Him our time.
00:35:09.20\00:35:10.61
You know why so many
people die in the world today.
00:35:10.64\00:35:13.16
It's called stress.
00:35:13.19\00:35:15.46
And people get all tighten,
00:35:15.49\00:35:16.69
they get indigestion
and they get heartburn,
00:35:16.72\00:35:18.47
because there's so much pressure
00:35:18.50\00:35:19.53
and so many
worries and lot of its
00:35:19.56\00:35:21.48
because people have
forgotten about the Sabbath day.
00:35:21.51\00:35:23.86
And God says, "Give
Me your time and rest,
00:35:23.89\00:35:27.45
I'll help you
get stronger, again."
00:35:27.48\00:35:30.08
It's like after
a good night sleep,
00:35:30.11\00:35:31.54
you wake up, you
feel really good.
00:35:31.57\00:35:33.00
And you got lots of energy.
00:35:33.03\00:35:34.54
God wants us to have
spiritual energy too.
00:35:34.57\00:35:37.96
Mathew 15.
00:35:37.99\00:35:39.88
Jesus said, a lot of
people are keeping other days
00:35:39.91\00:35:42.27
but it's just a tradition.
00:35:42.30\00:35:44.20
"Why do you also transgress
the commandment of God
00:35:44.23\00:35:48.04
because of your tradition?"
00:35:48.07\00:35:49.19
That's Mathew 15:3.
00:35:49.22\00:35:51.25
Some people are breaking
the commandments of God,
00:35:51.28\00:35:53.49
and keeping other days,
00:35:53.52\00:35:55.18
when God says they should
keep the seventh day holy,
00:35:55.21\00:35:57.91
and it does matter.
00:35:57.94\00:35:59.33
Did God blessed the
first day of the week?
00:35:59.36\00:36:01.25
Doesn't say
anywhere in the Bible,
00:36:01.28\00:36:02.50
He blessed the first day?
00:36:02.53\00:36:04.29
Doesn't say
anywhere in the Bible
00:36:04.32\00:36:05.68
He sanctified the first
day or made it holy. No.
00:36:05.71\00:36:09.52
God has taken one day and
He's made it a special day,
00:36:09.55\00:36:13.08
He says, "My
covenant I will not break,
00:36:13.11\00:36:16.07
nor alter the word that
has gone out of My mouth."
00:36:16.10\00:36:19.61
Now I'll tell you what?
00:36:19.64\00:36:20.79
Not only are two of the
Batchelor boys here today,
00:36:20.82\00:36:23.11
but Pastor Ross has his son,
00:36:23.14\00:36:24.87
he's got two of
his boys with him,
00:36:24.90\00:36:25.94
but I'm going to bring
Justin up for this illustration.
00:36:25.97\00:36:28.42
I hope you guys don't mind.
00:36:28.45\00:36:29.81
And I'm going to ask him to
go into the mystery box here,
00:36:29.84\00:36:32.43
and see if you find something
00:36:32.46\00:36:33.60
that looks like a
party could happen.
00:36:33.63\00:36:36.48
Go and open up all the
way. What do we got there.
00:36:36.51\00:36:40.35
Go ahead, let's
pull that out of there.
00:36:40.38\00:36:41.78
See if you can
get there out of there
00:36:41.81\00:36:42.86
in one piece. All right.
00:36:42.89\00:36:45.09
You can hang on
here, I'll tell you what,
00:36:45.12\00:36:46.16
let's do this,
if you don't mind.
00:36:46.19\00:36:49.05
Just leave that
right there for a second.
00:36:49.08\00:36:50.78
Go ahead, let's
take that, that's good.
00:36:50.81\00:36:53.49
You guys want to
have a quick party. Yeah.
00:36:53.52\00:36:55.93
All right, let's-- we
gonna take and let see.
00:36:55.96\00:36:58.19
Matter of fact we might even
have a few extra ones we do.
00:36:58.22\00:37:00.85
All right, let see
now just a second here.
00:37:00.88\00:37:03.67
We're not- we're not quite then.
00:37:03.70\00:37:08.43
I want to have a party here.
00:37:08.46\00:37:11.13
I'll get this
thing over my glasses,
00:37:11.16\00:37:13.56
here we go. All right.
00:37:13.59\00:37:18.50
Now, I'm sure that's
all natural ingredients.
00:37:18.53\00:37:24.34
You got talking to my tie here
Justin when is your birthday?
00:37:24.37\00:37:28.62
September 16.
00:37:28.65\00:37:30.18
What's today? September 17.
00:37:30.21\00:37:33.53
I tell you what,
00:37:33.56\00:37:35.22
today we're going to
celebrate your birthday,
00:37:35.25\00:37:37.20
and let me see here, I'll
get this, hang on a second.
00:37:37.23\00:37:40.63
Oh, come on don't do that to me.
00:37:40.66\00:37:42.12
Wow, it's a flamethrower.
00:37:46.49\00:37:48.31
All right, go ahead
blow your kazoo there.
00:37:48.34\00:37:52.01
Blow hard.
00:37:52.04\00:37:53.22
You want to celebrate
blow hard for a second.
00:37:53.25\00:37:57.52
That will work. All
right, now that's good.
00:37:57.55\00:38:00.48
Now we're going to sing
00:38:00.51\00:38:01.88
happy birthday to
Justin real quick okay.
00:38:01.91\00:38:04.41
Happy birthday to
you, happy birthday to you,
00:38:04.44\00:38:10.89
happy birthday dear
Justin, happy birth day to you.
00:38:10.92\00:38:18.46
All right, you
know what that means.
00:38:18.49\00:38:20.94
Now, all right,
all right, all right.
00:38:20.97\00:38:23.27
I trust you guys.
00:38:23.30\00:38:25.93
Now that, what's the date today?
00:38:25.96\00:38:28.71
September 17.
00:38:28.74\00:38:29.77
When is his
birthday? September 16.
00:38:29.80\00:38:32.74
So from now on his birthday
is going to be September 17,
00:38:32.77\00:38:35.65
is that okay. No.
00:38:35.68\00:38:38.16
Well, we just sang to you
and we just blew our kazoos
00:38:38.19\00:38:40.66
and you got the balloon
and it says happy birthday.
00:38:40.69\00:38:42.74
So we're going to vote to change
your birthday to the 17th.
00:38:42.77\00:38:45.73
No. Why not?
00:38:45.76\00:38:49.05
Because I wasn't born today.
00:38:49.08\00:38:51.33
What day were
you born? Sixteenth.
00:38:51.36\00:38:53.60
So no matter how aloud we sing,
00:38:53.63\00:38:55.21
you won't change that, ha. Nope.
00:38:55.24\00:38:56.82
Your mom, she won't understand.
00:38:56.85\00:38:58.71
John, can we just
change it now to the 17th.
00:38:58.74\00:39:01.42
Officially we'll just
write it up we all sang,
00:39:01.45\00:39:04.82
all right you get the point.
00:39:04.85\00:39:06.25
You can't change it,
00:39:06.28\00:39:07.31
doesn't matter
what tradition does.
00:39:07.34\00:39:09.07
You want to blow that
out, it's safer, blow it out.
00:39:09.10\00:39:11.32
Just pray it
doesn't get you, okay.
00:39:11.35\00:39:12.93
You can take that
with you, back to your dad.
00:39:12.96\00:39:16.11
Can I have this?
00:39:16.14\00:39:17.17
You can take
that, don't blow on it.
00:39:17.20\00:39:18.23
All right, let's
collect our kazoos.
00:39:18.26\00:39:22.91
Oh, I knew I was
forgetting something.
00:39:22.94\00:39:26.79
Well, do you see now just
because every body decides,
00:39:26.82\00:39:30.83
well everybody is now keeping
the first day as the Sabbath
00:39:30.86\00:39:33.60
or you know, in
the Muslim world,
00:39:33.63\00:39:35.81
they keep the sixth
day, Friday as the Sabbath.
00:39:35.84\00:39:38.29
Does that change God's law? No.
00:39:38.32\00:39:41.48
You mean, can people all
vote to change the law of God?
00:39:41.51\00:39:45.32
Will it change
the Ten Commandments?
00:39:45.35\00:39:47.83
God doesn't change,
remember what needs changing?
00:39:47.86\00:39:51.68
We need to
change, God is perfect.
00:39:51.71\00:39:54.41
What is a
Christian? Question number 6.
00:39:54.44\00:39:56.90
A Christian
follows Jesus, right.
00:39:56.93\00:39:59.80
Did Jesus keep the
seventh day Sabbath?
00:39:59.83\00:40:02.75
We got several
verses here, Luke 4:16.
00:40:02.78\00:40:07.05
"As His custom was, that
means His behavior, His pattern,
00:40:07.08\00:40:10.77
he went into the church the
synagogue on the Sabbath day
00:40:10.80\00:40:14.39
and stood up to
read the scripture."
00:40:14.42\00:40:17.09
What is a custom?
00:40:17.12\00:40:18.15
Is a custom something you do
00:40:18.18\00:40:19.26
one time or many
times. Many times.
00:40:19.29\00:40:21.53
A custom means it's
a habit, your pattern.
00:40:21.56\00:40:23.62
Ever since Jesus
was a little boy,
00:40:23.65\00:40:25.95
He went to the
synagogue every Sabbath day
00:40:25.98\00:40:28.29
and He would read the
Bible and He's praying,
00:40:28.32\00:40:29.82
He's with His
family. That was His custom.
00:40:29.85\00:40:32.77
The Bible never says,
that Jesus gave that up either.
00:40:32.80\00:40:35.87
And again Mark 6:2
00:40:35.90\00:40:38.54
"And when the Sabbath had come,
00:40:38.57\00:40:41.31
he began to teach
in the synagogue."
00:40:41.34\00:40:44.25
Jesus went to
church every Sabbath day.
00:40:44.28\00:40:46.77
What day of the week did He go?
00:40:46.80\00:40:48.30
First day,
second day, third day,
00:40:48.33\00:40:49.97
fourth day, firth day,
sixth day, or seventh day.
00:40:50.00\00:40:53.09
Seventh day, why seventh day?
00:40:53.12\00:40:55.57
That's the day that
He blessed and made holy.
00:40:55.60\00:40:59.15
Now, let me get you
to think about something.
00:40:59.18\00:41:02.19
Who is it that wrote
the Ten Commandments?
00:41:02.22\00:41:05.04
Jesus did with His own finger.
00:41:05.07\00:41:08.36
See Jesus has got the
sun and it's His creation,
00:41:08.39\00:41:12.77
the Bible says in 1 John
or in the Gospel of John,
00:41:12.80\00:41:15.72
all things that were
made, were made by Him,
00:41:15.75\00:41:19.03
nothing was made
without Him that was made,
00:41:19.06\00:41:21.76
including the law of God.
00:41:21.79\00:41:23.04
So when Jesus made the
Sabbath it was perfect.
00:41:23.07\00:41:26.19
Why would He change
it? Question number 7.
00:41:26.22\00:41:30.51
Should we keep
Sunday as the Sabbath day
00:41:30.54\00:41:32.73
because Jesus
rose on that day? No.
00:41:32.76\00:41:36.16
Now is it important
that Jesus rose on Sunday?
00:41:36.19\00:41:38.83
It's important that Jesus rose.
00:41:38.86\00:41:40.74
Who knows what day of the
week did Jesus die on the cross?
00:41:40.77\00:41:44.91
Friday, that's good.
00:41:44.94\00:41:46.08
Is that an important day?
00:41:46.11\00:41:47.47
Wasn't that important? Yes.
00:41:47.50\00:41:49.96
And what day did Jesus have,
00:41:49.99\00:41:51.52
what evening was it
when He had the last supper.
00:41:51.55\00:41:54.40
Thursday night, well, we
would call Thursday night.
00:41:54.43\00:41:56.90
Is that important too? Yes.
00:41:56.93\00:41:58.72
Jesus did important
things on many days,
00:41:58.75\00:42:01.63
but where in the
Bible does He tell us
00:42:01.66\00:42:03.61
that makes it a new Sabbath day.
00:42:03.64\00:42:06.09
He doesn't.
00:42:06.12\00:42:08.26
The only day that Jesus set up
00:42:08.29\00:42:09.71
is the Sabbath
is the seventh day.
00:42:09.74\00:42:12.78
So let's go on,
should we keep Sunday
00:42:12.81\00:42:15.13
because Jesus rose on that day.
00:42:15.16\00:42:16.82
Did the apostles
worship on Sunday?
00:42:16.85\00:42:19.00
Let's find out
what the Bible says.
00:42:19.03\00:42:20.68
Acts17:2, "Then
Paul, as his custom was,
00:42:20.71\00:42:26.39
he went to them
for three Sabbaths
00:42:26.42\00:42:28.39
and he reasoned with
them out of the Scriptures."
00:42:28.42\00:42:31.48
Paul is the Apostle Paul.
00:42:31.51\00:42:33.37
Paul then he becomes an apostle
until years after Jesus died.
00:42:33.40\00:42:37.46
So long after Jesus died,
00:42:37.49\00:42:39.35
the apostles are still
keeping the seventh day Sabbath.
00:42:39.38\00:42:42.27
And again it says, "He reasoned
in the synagogue every Sabbath,
00:42:42.30\00:42:45.75
not just for Jews, he
persuaded both Jews and Greeks."
00:42:45.78\00:42:50.67
Now I'm sort of half and half.
00:42:50.70\00:42:52.36
I'm half Gentile,
my father was a Baptist
00:42:52.39\00:42:54.96
and my mother was a Jew.
00:42:54.99\00:42:56.67
And so I can speak for
both perspectives on this.
00:42:56.70\00:43:00.81
Again Acts 13:42,
00:43:00.84\00:43:03.80
"So when the Jews
went out of the synagogue,
00:43:03.83\00:43:06.14
it says the Gentile,
00:43:06.17\00:43:07.54
a Gentile is
anybody who is not a Jew.
00:43:07.57\00:43:09.97
The Gentiles begged
that these word might be
00:43:10.00\00:43:12.22
preached to them
the next Sunday."
00:43:12.25\00:43:14.57
What does it say? The next what?
00:43:14.60\00:43:18.62
Even the Gentiles, the non Jews,
00:43:18.65\00:43:21.13
knew that Paul was going to
be in the church to synagogue
00:43:21.16\00:43:25.18
on the seventh
day, not on Sunday.
00:43:25.21\00:43:28.03
So they said, well, we
know what day the Sabbath is,
00:43:28.06\00:43:29.78
can you talk to us
again next Sabbath.
00:43:29.81\00:43:31.29
They didn't say next Sunday.
00:43:31.32\00:43:32.79
And this is long after Jesus
had risen and gone to heaven.
00:43:32.82\00:43:36.86
Matter of fact,
Jesus, prophesying
00:43:36.89\00:43:38.58
about the end of time.
Listen to what Lord said.
00:43:38.61\00:43:42.14
There might be a time when
we got to run for our lives
00:43:42.17\00:43:44.37
because of the
tribulation and problems,
00:43:44.40\00:43:47.72
He said "Pray that your flight."
00:43:47.75\00:43:50.05
Now flight there doesn't mean,
your American airlines flight,
00:43:50.08\00:43:53.64
it means flight
means like you're running,
00:43:53.67\00:43:55.28
you flee for your life.
00:43:55.31\00:43:57.06
"Pray that your
flight may not be in winter
00:43:57.09\00:43:59.39
or on the Sabbath day."
00:43:59.42\00:44:02.23
Did Jesus
looking down in prophecy,
00:44:02.26\00:44:04.09
He know that God's people would
still be keeping the Sabbath.
00:44:04.12\00:44:07.47
This is important for the Lord
00:44:07.50\00:44:08.78
because He loves us
and He wants time with us.
00:44:08.81\00:44:12.88
The Bible promises blessings
to those who keep the Sabbath.
00:44:12.91\00:44:16.27
Don't you want that blessing?
00:44:16.30\00:44:18.77
The day is not cursed.
God says He blessed the day.
00:44:18.80\00:44:22.43
And some people come to-
they come to church every week
00:44:22.46\00:44:25.07
and they miss the blessings.
00:44:25.10\00:44:26.94
"If you turn away
your foot from the Sabbath,
00:44:26.97\00:44:29.50
I'm in Isaiah 58:13,
00:44:29.53\00:44:31.75
"From doing your
pleasure on My holy day."
00:44:31.78\00:44:34.37
It's not a day for
doing our regular activities,
00:44:34.40\00:44:36.35
its holy day for God.
00:44:36.38\00:44:38.67
He says, therefore, you will
call the Sabbath a delight.,
00:44:38.70\00:44:42.66
God calls the
Sabbath, My holy day.
00:44:42.69\00:44:46.26
And again Jesus
says in Mark 2:28,
00:44:46.29\00:44:49.58
"Therefore, the Son of
Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
00:44:49.61\00:44:54.46
God tells us that He is
the Lord of the Sabbath day.
00:44:54.49\00:44:57.23
It's very important to
Him. Question number 8.
00:44:57.26\00:45:01.26
If God didn't change
00:45:01.29\00:45:02.48
the seventh day
Sabbath day to Sunday
00:45:02.51\00:45:04.73
then how did this happen?
00:45:04.76\00:45:06.89
Why are they so many people
00:45:06.92\00:45:08.25
around the world
that go to church
00:45:08.28\00:45:10.45
on the first day
of the week on Sunday
00:45:10.48\00:45:12.48
and they call it a Sabbath
00:45:12.51\00:45:14.08
but it's not the
day that God set aside.
00:45:14.11\00:45:16.81
Well, you look in
history it will tell you.
00:45:16.84\00:45:19.14
Jesus knew this
was going to happen.
00:45:19.17\00:45:21.15
He knew that there
would be a sinister power
00:45:21.18\00:45:23.13
that would try to change it.
00:45:23.16\00:45:24.60
Daniel 7:25 said "This
beast power would think
00:45:24.63\00:45:28.10
or intend to
change times and laws."
00:45:28.13\00:45:31.80
You know there's only
one of the Ten Commandments
00:45:31.83\00:45:34.34
that is both a law and a
time, which commandment is that?
00:45:34.37\00:45:39.01
The fourth commandment
about the Sabbath day.
00:45:39.04\00:45:40.81
The Sabbath's a
time and it's a law.
00:45:40.84\00:45:43.37
And Bible foretold
this was going to happen.
00:45:43.40\00:45:46.52
There was a Roman emperor
00:45:46.55\00:45:47.73
that came along by
the name of Constantine.
00:45:47.76\00:45:50.84
And you know for
while there in Rome,
00:45:50.87\00:45:53.37
Christianity was illegal.
00:45:53.40\00:45:55.69
If you are Christian, you
have to hide your religion,
00:45:55.72\00:45:57.37
it was very unpopular.
00:45:57.40\00:45:58.90
Christians were
being fed to the lions.
00:45:58.93\00:46:01.66
Some of the Roman emperors
tried to kill all the Christians
00:46:01.69\00:46:03.80
they would throw
them in the arena
00:46:03.83\00:46:06.62
to be trampled by elephants
or they burned them to death.
00:46:06.65\00:46:11.06
Many of the
Christians developed cities
00:46:11.09\00:46:12.86
underground called catacomb
because they had to hide,
00:46:12.89\00:46:15.25
their religion
was against the law.
00:46:15.28\00:46:17.53
But it was so true
and it was changing hearts
00:46:17.56\00:46:19.94
and it gave them such peace,
00:46:19.97\00:46:21.74
that it kept
growing and spreading,
00:46:21.77\00:46:23.09
more and more people
wanted to be Christians,
00:46:23.12\00:46:24.65
because Christians
were happy. They had peace.
00:46:24.68\00:46:27.83
So Constantine became emperor
00:46:27.86\00:46:30.87
and the Romans
in Rome the pagans,
00:46:30.90\00:46:34.03
they worshipped the sun,
and the moon and the stars.
00:46:34.06\00:46:36.51
That's where you
get the word Sunday.
00:46:36.54\00:46:38.32
That was the day
they worshipped the sun.
00:46:38.35\00:46:40.55
Monday was the day
they worshipped the,
00:46:40.58\00:46:42.62
who knows, the moon.
00:46:42.65\00:46:45.03
Saturday was the day
00:46:45.06\00:46:46.34
for worshipping
the planet Saturn.
00:46:46.37\00:46:50.13
Thursday was the day of Thor,
00:46:50.16\00:46:52.40
the God of thunder,
00:46:52.43\00:46:53.88
that all these different
pagan Gods they worshipped.
00:46:53.91\00:46:56.26
In the Bible the
days don't have names
00:46:56.29\00:46:58.18
like that, they are numbered.
00:46:58.21\00:46:59.40
First day, six, second
day, third day, fourth day,
00:46:59.43\00:47:01.76
fifth day, the sixth day,
00:47:01.79\00:47:03.42
Friday is called
the preparation day
00:47:03.45\00:47:05.55
and then the Sabbath day.
00:47:05.58\00:47:07.94
Well Constantine's
empire was split between pagans
00:47:07.97\00:47:10.72
and Christians and he said look,
00:47:10.75\00:47:12.19
Christians
aren't hurting anybody,
00:47:12.22\00:47:13.67
we may as well
legalize their religion.
00:47:13.70\00:47:16.22
So he made a law
legalizing Christianity
00:47:16.25\00:47:19.28
and he is the
one who established
00:47:19.31\00:47:20.91
Sundays as the day of worship.
00:47:20.94\00:47:22.02
This is right from the
encyclopedia Britannica.
00:47:22.05\00:47:24.65
That was not
written by Pastor Doug
00:47:24.68\00:47:26.36
or by Pastor Doug's church,
00:47:26.39\00:47:27.90
it's written by people
who were just writing history.
00:47:27.93\00:47:31.05
It says "The
earliest recognition
00:47:31.08\00:47:33.43
of the observance of Sunday
00:47:33.46\00:47:35.69
is a
constitution of Constantine,
00:47:35.72\00:47:38.45
this Roman emperor in 321 A.D.
00:47:38.48\00:47:41.51
that means A.D.
means anno Domini
00:47:41.54\00:47:43.75
or after the death of Jesus.
00:47:43.78\00:47:45.36
321 years after Jesus,
they started changing it,
00:47:45.39\00:47:50.65
little by little and
the Jews were not popular.
00:47:50.68\00:47:53.04
And some of the Christians said,
00:47:53.07\00:47:54.40
we don't want to worship
the same day as the Jews.
00:47:54.43\00:47:56.18
We want to do
something new and different.
00:47:56.21\00:47:58.27
Let's start
worshipping on the same day
00:47:58.30\00:48:00.38
the pagans worshipped the sun,
00:48:00.41\00:48:02.70
and little by little
over hundreds over years,
00:48:02.73\00:48:05.08
many of the Christians
gave up the day God blessed
00:48:05.11\00:48:08.00
and started observing the day
00:48:08.03\00:48:09.77
that was blessed and
worshipped by the pagans,
00:48:09.80\00:48:11.75
worshipping the sun.
00:48:11.78\00:48:13.97
And you can also
read in Mathew 15:9.
00:48:14.00\00:48:18.43
Lot of people
might be very sincere
00:48:18.46\00:48:23.25
but it says here Jesus
said "In vain they worship Me,
00:48:23.28\00:48:27.31
teaching as doctrines
the commandments of men."
00:48:27.34\00:48:30.72
Some people are
teaching manmade things
00:48:30.75\00:48:32.84
but they are not God's
will and it hurts the Lord.
00:48:32.87\00:48:36.25
So can we know
what day that day is?
00:48:36.28\00:48:38.98
Luke 23, "The day Jesus died
was called the Preparation day."
00:48:39.01\00:48:43.71
Well, who knows
what day that is?
00:48:43.74\00:48:45.67
"Friday and the
Sabbath drew near."
00:48:45.70\00:48:49.47
And then it says in the
Bible from evening to evening
00:48:49.50\00:48:53.12
were to celebrate our Sabbaths.
00:48:53.15\00:48:55.98
Hi, let me see,
you are real close.
00:48:56.01\00:48:58.23
Mitchell, come up, come here.
00:48:58.26\00:49:00.11
I'm sorry.
00:49:00.14\00:49:02.75
All right.
00:49:02.78\00:49:04.80
You remember this light. Yeah.
00:49:04.83\00:49:06.41
Go over there little ways,
further back by the guitar,
00:49:06.44\00:49:09.24
and light at the
world. All right.
00:49:09.27\00:49:12.64
Here we are in Texas, see
the tape, can you all see.
00:49:12.67\00:49:15.19
Yeah, there on the screen.
00:49:15.22\00:49:16.69
As the world turns,
when the sun goes down,
00:49:16.72\00:49:20.68
you are in the
dark part right here.
00:49:20.71\00:49:22.67
You can see over here,
00:49:22.70\00:49:23.92
it's getting into
the light part here.
00:49:23.95\00:49:26.29
When the day
ends, is that sun down,
00:49:26.32\00:49:28.94
this is when a new day begins.
00:49:28.97\00:49:31.57
As the sun comes up,
day is already been going.
00:49:31.60\00:49:35.40
You are supposed
to keep the Sabbath
00:49:35.43\00:49:36.75
when it comes to you.
00:49:36.78\00:49:37.82
When it Sabbath here in Texas,
00:49:37.85\00:49:39.63
it may not be in the
other parts of the world.
00:49:39.66\00:49:41.93
But you keep the
Sabbath when it comes to you.
00:49:41.96\00:49:44.46
Because the world is
always turning like this
00:49:44.49\00:49:46.62
and the sun shining on it.
00:49:46.65\00:49:48.06
That's a pretty
bright light, isn't it?
00:49:48.09\00:49:49.29
You are enjoying that.
00:49:49.32\00:49:51.00
Okay, I just wanted to
give you a little visual
00:49:51.03\00:49:53.49
to help understand that.
00:49:53.52\00:49:54.96
The Bible says,
from evening to evening
00:49:54.99\00:49:57.71
you celebrate
yours, that was good job,
00:49:57.74\00:49:59.52
Mitchell, I appreciate that.
00:49:59.55\00:50:00.75
So you know when Jesus died.
00:50:04.97\00:50:07.98
Jesus died right about sundown.
00:50:08.01\00:50:10.80
You want to hear
something amazing,
00:50:10.83\00:50:12.72
Jesus even kept the
Sabbath in His death.
00:50:12.75\00:50:17.18
See Jesus spent His life
working to save humanity.
00:50:17.21\00:50:20.83
When He died on the cross,
00:50:20.86\00:50:21.89
you know one of the
last things He said,
00:50:21.92\00:50:24.10
He said, "It is
finished." And then He died.
00:50:24.13\00:50:28.11
He said
''Father, into your hands
00:50:28.14\00:50:29.48
I commit my
spirit'' and He died.
00:50:29.51\00:50:31.33
He went to sleep,
00:50:31.36\00:50:33.38
and He rested
through the Sabbath,
00:50:33.41\00:50:36.05
He kept the
Sabbath even in His death.
00:50:36.08\00:50:38.63
And then He rose
Sunday morning, not to rest,
00:50:38.66\00:50:41.68
he rose Sunday morning
00:50:41.71\00:50:42.74
to continue His work
for us as high priest.
00:50:42.77\00:50:46.13
That's how
important it is to Jesus.
00:50:46.16\00:50:47.86
And the disciples
would not finish embalming
00:50:47.89\00:50:50.30
or wrapping up Jesus' body.
00:50:50.33\00:50:51.79
Friday afternoon, they
said the sun is going down,
00:50:51.82\00:50:54.13
we're not quite done mummifying
or wrapping up His body,
00:50:54.16\00:50:57.85
we'll come back Sunday morning.
00:50:57.88\00:50:59.52
Because the disciples knew,
00:50:59.55\00:51:00.89
that would not make Jesus happy
00:51:00.92\00:51:02.26
to continue
working on the Sabbath day,
00:51:02.29\00:51:04.33
even that labor of love.
00:51:04.36\00:51:06.76
So it says, "They
returned and prepared spices
00:51:06.79\00:51:09.28
and fragrant
ointments, and they rested."
00:51:09.31\00:51:12.23
Notice here.
00:51:12.26\00:51:13.29
"They rested the Sabbath
according to the commandment."
00:51:13.32\00:51:17.68
Was the
commandment important to Jesus,
00:51:17.71\00:51:20.09
was it important
to His disciples?
00:51:20.12\00:51:22.30
"Now on the
first day of the week,
00:51:22.33\00:51:23.71
they came to the tomb."
00:51:23.74\00:51:25.61
And praise the
Lord He had reason,
00:51:25.64\00:51:27.56
He began His work,
00:51:27.59\00:51:29.13
in heaven He's our high priest
00:51:29.16\00:51:30.40
and He's alive there
watching over us right now.
00:51:30.43\00:51:33.14
So the
preparation day is Friday,
00:51:33.17\00:51:35.57
that sometimes
people call it good Friday.
00:51:35.60\00:51:38.02
Sabbath, Jesus slept
He rested in the tomb.
00:51:38.05\00:51:40.99
He rose after the
Sabbath on Sunday the first day.
00:51:41.02\00:51:44.41
Saturday is the seventh
day. That's the Sabbath day.
00:51:44.44\00:51:47.67
There is no question about it.
00:51:47.70\00:51:49.37
No calendar
change has affected that.
00:51:49.40\00:51:52.55
What makes the Sabbath
so special to God and to us?
00:51:52.58\00:51:56.83
The Bible says "The
Lord blessed the Sabbath day
00:51:56.86\00:51:59.88
and he hallowed
it." It's His holy day.
00:51:59.91\00:52:02.89
It's a day He
wants us to remember Him.
00:52:02.92\00:52:05.96
Did you know that
we're even going to keep
00:52:05.99\00:52:07.75
the Sabbath in heaven?
00:52:07.78\00:52:10.19
You're aware of
that, question number 10.
00:52:10.22\00:52:12.66
Even in heaven, we're
going to keep the Sabbath day,
00:52:12.69\00:52:14.95
after Jesus comes.
00:52:14.98\00:52:17.67
For instance, how
many know did they-
00:52:17.70\00:52:20.23
did Adam and
Eve keep the Sabbath
00:52:20.26\00:52:21.48
in the Garden of Eden. Yes.
00:52:21.51\00:52:24.35
Did Moses and the
children of Israel
00:52:24.38\00:52:25.78
keep the Sabbath in
the wilderness? Yes.
00:52:25.81\00:52:28.77
All through the Old Testament.
00:52:28.80\00:52:29.91
Did Jesus and the
apostles keep the Sabbath? Yes.
00:52:29.94\00:52:33.84
The Bible tells us
that even in the new heavens
00:52:33.87\00:52:36.47
and the new earth
that God is going to make,
00:52:36.50\00:52:39.03
it says "For as the new
heavens and the new earth
00:52:39.06\00:52:41.99
that I will make shall
remain before me says the Lord,
00:52:42.02\00:52:45.06
so shall your descendants
and your name remain.
00:52:45.09\00:52:47.92
And it shall come to pass,
00:52:47.95\00:52:50.14
that from one
Sabbath to another,
00:52:50.17\00:52:52.93
shall all flesh come and
worship before the Lord."
00:52:52.96\00:52:57.54
Even in heaven we are
going to come and worship God.
00:52:57.57\00:52:59.66
And guess who the
preacher is going to be there?
00:52:59.69\00:53:03.06
Jesus and nobody
is going to sleep
00:53:03.09\00:53:05.07
during the church
service there, right.
00:53:05.10\00:53:08.77
You know I heard
about a boy named, Bobby,
00:53:08.80\00:53:11.04
who one day was playing
00:53:11.07\00:53:12.16
with his grandfather's
special gold watch,
00:53:12.19\00:53:14.88
little gold watch
that had a flip keys on it.
00:53:14.91\00:53:18.09
And his mom said he had
to go feed the chickens.
00:53:18.12\00:53:20.07
So he stuck the watch
inside his shirt pocket
00:53:20.10\00:53:22.10
and he went out
to feed the chickens,
00:53:22.13\00:53:23.16
he forgot it was there.
00:53:23.19\00:53:24.95
And he loved to jump in the hay,
00:53:24.98\00:53:26.64
so he was jumping from the
loft down into the piles of hay
00:53:26.67\00:53:29.29
and he was
playing and pretty soon,
00:53:29.32\00:53:31.95
he thought,
where's grandpa's watch,
00:53:31.98\00:53:34.26
his gold watch?
00:53:34.29\00:53:36.06
What am I gonna
do, and he looked
00:53:36.09\00:53:37.29
all through the hay
and he couldn't find it,
00:53:37.32\00:53:39.51
and he was frantic,
he thought I'll be in
00:53:39.54\00:53:41.32
so much trouble, that
was grandpa's special watch,
00:53:41.35\00:53:43.40
he got it when he
retired from the railroad,
00:53:43.43\00:53:45.71
I am in big trouble now.
00:53:45.74\00:53:48.17
And he was frantically
looking all through the hay
00:53:48.20\00:53:50.18
and digging around
and he couldn't find it.
00:53:50.21\00:53:52.97
Finally he got on his knees
and he is sobbingly, he prayed.
00:53:53.00\00:53:56.41
And he said, oh Lord I'm sorry
00:53:56.44\00:53:58.60
I was careless
with grandpa's watch.
00:53:58.63\00:54:00.50
Please help me know where it is.
00:54:00.53\00:54:02.02
Help me find it.
00:54:02.05\00:54:04.09
And then while he was on
his knees quietly praying,
00:54:04.12\00:54:06.80
he heard, tick,
tick, tick, tick,
00:54:06.83\00:54:11.00
and what do you think it was.
00:54:11.03\00:54:13.32
When he was
finally quiet, he heard it.
00:54:13.35\00:54:16.86
And he had to be real still
00:54:16.89\00:54:18.58
and he started
sifting through the hay
00:54:18.61\00:54:20.46
and he quietly listened
and he sifted little more
00:54:20.49\00:54:23.56
and he nailed it down
into pretty soon he dug aside
00:54:23.59\00:54:26.31
and it tick, tick,
tick, and it was real loud
00:54:26.34\00:54:29.83
and he found the watch.
00:54:29.86\00:54:32.00
But he'd been so
frantic looking before,
00:54:32.03\00:54:34.36
he couldn't find that treasure.
00:54:34.39\00:54:36.96
You know sometimes the devil
tries to keep us so frantic.
00:54:36.99\00:54:40.49
Some homes today
are just so much noise
00:54:40.52\00:54:43.04
and the
television is always going
00:54:43.07\00:54:44.77
and the video games
00:54:44.80\00:54:45.89
and there's just
always thing happening.
00:54:45.92\00:54:48.82
And the devil wants
to create so much noise,
00:54:48.85\00:54:50.39
we can't hear the
Lord's speaking to us,
00:54:50.42\00:54:53.38
God has given us a
day of rest to be still
00:54:53.41\00:54:56.82
and to hear His voice,
to recharge our batteries,
00:54:56.85\00:55:00.35
to get a blessing to
prepare us for heaven.
00:55:00.38\00:55:02.89
Every Sabbath is a
little bit of heaven here now.
00:55:02.92\00:55:06.56
And God wants you to
have that blessing friends.
00:55:06.59\00:55:09.20
He wants you to have that
rest on that holy special day.
00:55:09.23\00:55:13.85
How many of you would
like to have that blessing,
00:55:13.88\00:55:16.58
that God has on the Sabbath day,
00:55:16.61\00:55:18.47
to hear His voice and
to be ready for His coming.
00:55:18.50\00:55:21.98
Let's pray now and ask Him.
00:55:22.01\00:55:23.93
To enjoy that,
Jesus said, "Come to me
00:55:23.96\00:55:26.72
and I will give you rest.
00:55:26.75\00:55:30.22
That's what the
Sabbath is all about."
00:55:30.25\00:55:32.16
Let's pray.
00:55:32.19\00:55:34.25
Father in heaven, we're
so thankful for the truth
00:55:34.28\00:55:36.94
that You love us and
You want us to love You.
00:55:36.97\00:55:40.41
That's why You have
given us this holy day,
00:55:40.44\00:55:42.67
to set aside time to
get to know You better
00:55:42.70\00:55:45.49
and love You more.
00:55:45.52\00:55:46.92
And as we love You more
Lord, to serve You better.
00:55:46.95\00:55:49.77
I pray You'll bless
all those who are watching
00:55:49.80\00:55:51.60
and especially the children
00:55:51.63\00:55:53.47
that they will
love that special time,
00:55:53.50\00:55:55.50
a day with the king that
You've provided for them.
00:55:55.53\00:55:58.39
Fill them with Your Spirit,
00:55:58.42\00:55:59.81
continue to pour
out with Your Spirit
00:55:59.84\00:56:01.42
and Your
blessings in this series,
00:56:01.45\00:56:03.34
that there might
be a great revival
00:56:03.37\00:56:04.89
of young people to serve You.
00:56:04.92\00:56:06.82
We ask this now
in Jesus name, amen.
00:56:06.85\00:56:11.87
God bless you friends,
00:56:11.90\00:56:13.10

And you're going to really

00:56:17.80\00:56:20.43

those who are watching.
00:56:20.46\00:56:22.34
