The Bible
contains the most important
00:00:11.54\00:00:14.08
words in the world
00:00:14.11\00:00:15.44
because this is
a message from God.
00:00:15.48\00:00:17.35
In fact, in the Bible, it
pronounces a curse on anyone
00:00:17.38\00:00:21.18
who would dare to
take away anything
00:00:21.22\00:00:23.69
that is written in His Word.
00:00:23.72\00:00:25.29
You know, one printer in England
00:00:25.32\00:00:26.89
was put out of business,
00:00:26.92\00:00:28.26
because he simply left out
00:00:28.29\00:00:29.76
one three letter
word in the Bible,
00:00:29.79\00:00:31.99
that King shut him down
and find him a great fine.
00:00:32.03\00:00:35.33
You see, the problem was
00:00:35.36\00:00:36.70
the one word he left
out was the word not, N-O-T,
00:00:36.73\00:00:40.37
and he lift it out
of the Ten Commandments.
00:00:40.40\00:00:43.20
So, of course, the
Seventh Commandment says,
00:00:43.24\00:00:45.07
"You should not
commit adultery."
00:00:45.11\00:00:47.51
But in this new wicked Bible,
00:00:47.54\00:00:48.88
it said, "You
should commit adultery."
00:00:48.91\00:00:51.78
Obviously, that gave
the wrong impression.
00:00:51.81\00:00:54.32
You know, the Bible
tells us in the last days,
00:00:54.35\00:00:56.12
the beast power is going to
try to tamper with God's Word
00:00:56.15\00:00:59.69
and take away from His law.
00:00:59.72\00:01:01.36
We're gonna learn
about His devices.
00:01:01.39\00:01:02.96
So join me, get on board
with this Amazing Adventure.
00:01:02.99\00:01:05.59
Hello, boys and girls.
00:01:24.21\00:01:25.55
Welcome again to
Amazing Adventure,
00:01:25.58\00:01:28.08
A Journey for Life with Jesus.
00:01:28.12\00:01:30.55
And we're on a mission
of discovery in our ship
00:01:30.59\00:01:33.42
called HMS Adventure week,
00:01:33.46\00:01:35.76
on a voyage finding Bible truth.
00:01:35.79\00:01:38.29
So again, I'd like to welcome
all of those here in Michigan,
00:01:38.33\00:01:40.96

friends who are joining us
00:01:41.00\00:01:42.76
across the country
and around the world.
00:01:42.80\00:01:44.83
Well, before we
get to our study today,
00:01:44.87\00:01:46.84
as many of you
know, we have a theme song
00:01:46.87\00:01:49.10
that we like to
sing at the beginning of
00:01:49.14\00:01:50.61
each of our presentations.
00:01:50.64\00:01:52.21
And we're very excited to
have Pastor Doug Batchelor
00:01:52.24\00:01:55.04
as the one who is guiding us
on this mission of discovery.
00:01:55.08\00:01:58.81
So this time,
let's welcome Pastor Doug
00:01:58.85\00:02:01.35
as he joins us on stage.
00:02:01.38\00:02:02.72
Hello, boys and girls.
Welcome to Amazing Adventure.
00:02:07.16\00:02:11.09
And, boy, we've
got an exciting lesson
00:02:11.13\00:02:13.13
that we're gonna
be studying tonight.
00:02:13.16\00:02:14.60
I wanna welcome those who
are watching on television
00:02:14.63\00:02:17.17
or on the
internet, and I even have
00:02:17.20\00:02:20.44
a few grandchildren
that may be watching
00:02:20.47\00:02:22.50
that are your age, I
wanna welcome them as well.
00:02:22.54\00:02:25.17
We're gonna begin with our song.
00:02:25.21\00:02:26.54
We'll invite our
singers to come up front here.
00:02:26.57\00:02:29.14
And we're gonna be
singing "Life is an Adventure."
00:02:29.18\00:02:31.31
And I think you're gonna
stand with us as we sing.
00:02:31.35\00:02:33.35
Yes.
00:02:33.38\00:02:34.72
Let's stand and
we'll sing together,
00:02:34.75\00:02:36.08
"Life is an Adventure."
00:02:36.12\00:02:37.45
Life is an
adventure Following the King
00:02:42.32\00:02:47.00
Every day with Jesus
Makes us want to sing
00:02:47.03\00:02:51.97
Walking in the
spirit He will lead the way
00:02:52.00\00:02:56.97
With his words to guide
us Glowing deep inside us
00:02:57.01\00:03:02.04
Nothing can divide
us Following the King
00:03:02.08\00:03:08.42
Life is an
adventure Following the King
00:03:08.45\00:03:13.49
Every day with Jesus
Makes us want to sing
00:03:13.52\00:03:18.63
Conquering with
kindness Everywhere we go
00:03:18.66\00:03:23.83
Voices we are

00:03:23.87\00:03:28.94
Life is so
amazing Following the King
00:03:28.97\00:03:35.24
Life is so
amazing Following the King
00:03:35.28\00:03:41.02
Amen. Thank you very much.
00:03:44.12\00:03:47.39
And you may be
seated. All right.
00:03:47.42\00:03:49.99
Every night, we try to take
a few Bible questions from kids
00:03:50.03\00:03:54.03
around the country and
other parts of the world.
00:03:54.06\00:03:56.50
So I understand we've got
some good question, Pastor Ross.
00:03:56.53\00:03:58.13
We do.
00:03:58.17\00:03:59.50
We have some
questions that's coming from
00:03:59.53\00:04:00.87
literally around the
world and I think we ready for
00:04:00.90\00:04:02.74
our first video question.
00:04:02.77\00:04:04.97
My name is David.
00:04:05.01\00:04:06.34
I'm from Israel.
00:04:06.37\00:04:07.71
My Bible question is,
will our pets go to heaven?
00:04:07.74\00:04:10.75
You know, Pastor,
00:04:10.78\00:04:12.11
that's a question
we get quite a bit.
00:04:12.15\00:04:13.85
Will my pet be in heaven?
00:04:13.88\00:04:15.78
Well, what does the Bible say?
00:04:15.82\00:04:17.19
Was your pet a good pet?
00:04:17.22\00:04:19.75
Hey, was it a bad pet?
00:04:19.79\00:04:22.26
You know, there's no
verse in the Bible that says
00:04:22.29\00:04:24.53
our personal pets
will be in heaven.
00:04:24.56\00:04:27.80
But there's no verse
that says they won't be.
00:04:27.83\00:04:30.53
And we do know that God
00:04:30.57\00:04:31.90
is gonna have animals in heaven.
00:04:31.93\00:04:34.40
Bible tells us in Isaiah 11,
00:04:34.44\00:04:36.64
it talks about
the animals in heaven.
00:04:36.67\00:04:39.17
Did God have animals in paradise
00:04:39.21\00:04:41.01
when He made Adam and
Eve, in the beginning?
00:04:41.04\00:04:43.81
So does God love animals?
00:04:43.85\00:04:45.81
We might even
get a visit tonight
00:04:45.85\00:04:47.68
from an animal
before we're done.
00:04:47.72\00:04:51.55
And so when you get to heaven,
00:04:51.59\00:04:53.25
how many of you have
had a special dog or, a cat,
00:04:53.29\00:04:56.52
or guinea pig, or
parakeet, or whatever it is,
00:04:56.56\00:04:58.89
and you became friends?
00:04:58.93\00:05:01.36
Most people live
longer than their pets,
00:05:01.40\00:05:05.63
unless you got a pet tortoise.
00:05:05.67\00:05:10.01
I met a tortoise once
that was almost 200 years old
00:05:10.04\00:05:13.68
in the Australia zoo.
00:05:13.71\00:05:16.21
And the other thing
is that the cockatiels?
00:05:16.24\00:05:20.25
Yes, certain parrots
live a very long time.
00:05:20.28\00:05:23.22
Otherwise we
sometimes see our pets die
00:05:23.25\00:05:26.65
and it makes us very sad.
00:05:26.69\00:05:28.12
Could Jesus surprise
us and resurrect our pets
00:05:28.16\00:05:31.26
with a little glorified bodies
in heaven if He wanted to?
00:05:31.29\00:05:33.96
Yes.
00:05:34.00\00:05:35.33
So when you get to heaven,
00:05:35.36\00:05:36.70
you're gonna probably
have a lot of surprises.
00:05:36.73\00:05:38.07
I can't promise you
your pet will be there,
00:05:38.10\00:05:39.43
but I will promise you
nobody will be unhappy.
00:05:39.47\00:05:41.94
Okay?
00:05:41.97\00:05:43.64
All right, our
next video question.
00:05:43.67\00:05:45.97
My name is Ella.
00:05:46.01\00:05:47.81
And I'm from Michigan.
00:05:47.84\00:05:49.68
My Bible question
is, does God has friends
00:05:49.71\00:05:52.91
or is He alone?
00:05:52.95\00:05:54.28
All right.
00:05:54.32\00:05:55.65
So Ella's wondering, does
God have friends up there?
00:05:55.68\00:05:57.95
I assume up in heaven
or is He living alone?
00:05:57.99\00:06:01.72
Well, God
doesn't wanna be alone,
00:06:01.76\00:06:03.49
which is why He
made a universe full
00:06:03.53\00:06:06.39
of intelligent creatures.
00:06:06.43\00:06:08.63
You know, I
believe the Bible says,
00:06:08.66\00:06:10.37
"Not only does
God have His children,
00:06:10.40\00:06:12.87
"Bible says, "He's our father.
00:06:12.90\00:06:14.24
So He's not alone,
we're His children."
00:06:14.27\00:06:16.77
Does God have angels around Him?
00:06:16.81\00:06:18.67
Yes.
00:06:18.71\00:06:20.04
And He talks to them,
Gabriel came to Daniel,
00:06:20.08\00:06:22.01
He says, "I have come
from the presence of God."
00:06:22.04\00:06:24.41
Gabriel's an angel,
00:06:24.45\00:06:25.78
it's probably a
good friend of God's.
00:06:25.81\00:06:27.65
And then God, I believe,
He's got other creatures
00:06:27.68\00:06:30.22
that are un-fallen.
00:06:30.25\00:06:31.75
They've not sinned
throughout the universe.
00:06:31.79\00:06:34.22
The Bible says, through Jesus,
God made the worlds, plural.
00:06:34.26\00:06:39.49
And you read in Revelation,
00:06:39.53\00:06:40.86
it talks about all
the creatures in heaven
00:06:40.90\00:06:42.63
are praising God.
00:06:42.66\00:06:44.53
And so, I think
God does have friends,
00:06:44.57\00:06:46.70
God doesn't wanna be alone.
00:06:46.74\00:06:48.70
And God the Father,
Son, and Spirit have created
00:06:48.74\00:06:52.27
a universe full
of intelligent people
00:06:52.31\00:06:54.74
and beautiful
animals and creatures.
00:06:54.78\00:06:57.28
And Paul says,
"When we get to heaven,
00:06:57.31\00:06:58.65
we can't even
imagine the things that
00:06:58.68\00:07:00.38
God's prepared for
those that love Him."
00:07:00.42\00:07:02.42
Okay.
00:07:02.45\00:07:03.79
And our next
question that we have.
00:07:03.82\00:07:05.15
Hi, Pastor, that I'm Angeline.
00:07:05.19\00:07:08.19
I live in Vijayawada, India.
00:07:08.22\00:07:11.39
My question is, how
many days passed before
00:07:11.43\00:07:16.46
Adam and Eve sinned?
00:07:16.50\00:07:17.93
All right.
00:07:17.97\00:07:19.30
The question is how many days
00:07:19.33\00:07:20.67
passed before
Adam and Eve sinned?
00:07:20.70\00:07:22.47
That's in the
Garden of Eden. Yeah.
00:07:22.50\00:07:24.21
That's new.
00:07:24.24\00:07:25.57
We're getting
questions from Israel to India,
00:07:25.61\00:07:27.48
kids all around the
world has some great questions.
00:07:27.51\00:07:30.25
So did Adam and Eve get
to enjoy the Garden of Eden
00:07:30.28\00:07:33.15
for a long time
before the devil came in
00:07:33.18\00:07:36.08
and he spoke through the serpent
00:07:36.12\00:07:37.45
and tricked them?
00:07:37.49\00:07:40.16
Probably not very
long because Adam and Eve
00:07:40.19\00:07:43.29
were perfectly healthy,
00:07:43.32\00:07:44.89
God told them
after He made them,
00:07:44.93\00:07:46.66
Go have a family
and fill the world.
00:07:46.70\00:07:49.36
They had had no children yet.
00:07:49.40\00:07:51.80
So we think the devil came
and surprise them pretty soon
00:07:51.83\00:07:55.84
after creation because
00:07:55.87\00:07:58.41
I don't even
think a year went by.
00:07:58.44\00:08:00.91
So we don't know,
the Bible doesn't say
00:08:00.94\00:08:02.81
the exact time, but it
was probably pretty soon
00:08:02.84\00:08:05.08
after creation,
00:08:05.11\00:08:06.45
that the devil
caught them off guard
00:08:06.48\00:08:07.88
while they were still young
and innocent, you might say.
00:08:07.92\00:08:10.92
All right.
00:08:10.95\00:08:12.29
And I think our final
question for this evening.
00:08:12.32\00:08:14.29
Hi.
00:08:14.32\00:08:15.66
I'm Danielle and
I'm from Virginia.
00:08:15.69\00:08:17.03
And my question was,
00:08:17.06\00:08:18.39
did God tell Jesus
to come and save us
00:08:18.43\00:08:21.03
or did Jesus volunteer?
00:08:21.06\00:08:23.03
Because in the
Garden of Gethsemane,
00:08:23.06\00:08:25.27
Jesus asked for the
cup to pass over Him.
00:08:25.30\00:08:28.27
Good question.
00:08:28.30\00:08:30.44
Now, how many of
you know John 3:16?
00:08:30.47\00:08:35.38
For God so loved the
world, He gave His Son, right?
00:08:35.41\00:08:40.52
He gave His only begotten Son.
00:08:40.55\00:08:41.88
So the Father offered His Son,
00:08:41.92\00:08:44.19
but Jesus was a
willing sacrifice.
00:08:44.22\00:08:47.19
Just like when Abraham
went up the mountain with Isaac,
00:08:47.22\00:08:50.89
and he offered Isaac.
00:08:50.93\00:08:52.26
Isaac was already
young man, 18-20 years old.
00:08:52.29\00:08:54.90
Abraham was an old man,
he couldn't wrestle Isaac
00:08:54.93\00:08:58.03
to the ground and tie him up.
00:08:58.07\00:08:59.73
Isaac was a willing sacrifice.
00:08:59.77\00:09:01.67
Jesus said, "The
Father Himself loves you."
00:09:01.70\00:09:04.54
But I believe the
Father and Son agreed together.
00:09:04.57\00:09:07.84
When Jesus was in the
garden, He was saying, "Father,
00:09:07.88\00:09:10.15
if there's any other
way, let this cup pass."
00:09:10.18\00:09:13.42
I think Jesus prayed that prayer
00:09:13.45\00:09:15.62
partly for the
apostles that were listening.
00:09:15.65\00:09:18.45
He asked Peter, James and
John to come with Him and pray.
00:09:18.49\00:09:21.26
They heard Him say that.
00:09:21.29\00:09:23.63
He was letting them
know there is no other way
00:09:23.66\00:09:26.76
for us to be saved
than for Jesus to die.
00:09:26.80\00:09:30.17
It was reminding
us that the only thing
00:09:30.20\00:09:32.33
that could redeem us
was the sacrifice of Christ.
00:09:32.37\00:09:34.97
So the Father and the Son
agreed together on the plan
00:09:35.00\00:09:39.41
to save the human race.
00:09:39.44\00:09:42.14
It talks about the Lamb slain
00:09:42.18\00:09:43.51
from the
foundation of the world.
00:09:43.55\00:09:45.95
Good question. All right. Amen.
00:09:45.98\00:09:47.32
Pastor Doug, it's
time for our lesson.
00:09:47.35\00:09:49.05
So I'll turn it over to
you. All right, very good.
00:09:49.08\00:09:50.42
Well, let's get into our study.
00:09:50.45\00:09:51.79
A very important
lesson tonight, it's called
00:09:51.82\00:09:53.99
"The Code of the King."
00:09:54.02\00:09:56.99
Now we had a
special memory verse
00:09:57.03\00:09:59.03
that we just read.
00:09:59.06\00:10:00.53
"Blessed are those
who do His commandments."
00:10:00.56\00:10:03.00
You wanna be blessed?
00:10:03.03\00:10:04.37
"That they might have the
right to the tree of life,"
00:10:04.40\00:10:06.94
you wanna eat from that tree?
00:10:06.97\00:10:08.44
"And enter through
the gates of the city."
00:10:08.47\00:10:10.41
That's the New Jerusalem,
talking about being in heaven.
00:10:10.44\00:10:13.74
Those that do His Commandments.
00:10:13.78\00:10:16.24
You know, in ancient
times during the medieval times,
00:10:16.28\00:10:20.12
throughout Europe,
00:10:20.15\00:10:21.48
the knights wore
the special armor.
00:10:21.52\00:10:24.55
And in order to be a
knight, and to fight as
00:10:24.59\00:10:27.59
one of the
special guard of the king,
00:10:27.62\00:10:30.33
they had a very high standard.
00:10:30.36\00:10:32.59
And there was a code, you know,
00:10:32.63\00:10:34.10
sailors on ships
like in the US Navy,
00:10:34.13\00:10:36.67
there's the code of the
sailor, codes of integrity,
00:10:36.70\00:10:39.73
they promised to make...
00:10:39.77\00:10:41.10
It's not like a mystery code.
00:10:41.14\00:10:42.47
It's a code
where you are promising
00:10:42.50\00:10:44.07
to keep certain rules.
00:10:44.11\00:10:46.41
And the knights had
codes, they would take care
00:10:46.44\00:10:49.24
of the fatherless and the widow.
00:10:49.28\00:10:51.18
And they would always
be sensitive to be honest,
00:10:51.21\00:10:54.22
and they would be
people of integrity and truth.
00:10:54.25\00:10:57.25
And so God has a code
for His Kingdom as well.
00:10:57.29\00:11:01.42
You read about this,
00:11:01.46\00:11:02.79
it's the
Christian code of honor.
00:11:02.82\00:11:05.16
And we're gonna look at
what that code is today.
00:11:05.19\00:11:07.63
Getting right into
question number one,
00:11:07.66\00:11:09.73
talking about the
Christian code of honor,
00:11:09.76\00:11:11.93
better known as the Moral
Law or the Ten Commandments.
00:11:11.97\00:11:17.91
Question number one.
00:11:17.94\00:11:20.24
How did the law or the
code of the king come to us?
00:11:20.28\00:11:23.95
How did we ever get
00:11:23.98\00:11:25.55
this wonderful
statement from God?
00:11:25.58\00:11:29.25
You read in Exodus 31:18.
00:11:29.28\00:11:32.09
"And when He had made
an end of speaking with him
00:11:32.12\00:11:34.89
on Mount Sinai,
00:11:34.92\00:11:36.52
He, God gave Moses two
tablets of the testimony,
00:11:36.56\00:11:41.70
tablets of stone,"
what was it written on?
00:11:41.73\00:11:44.87
"Stone written
with the finger of God."
00:11:44.90\00:11:49.77
You know, this is probably
one of the most important
00:11:49.80\00:11:51.67
treasures in the world is...
00:11:51.71\00:11:55.64
What would be the most
valuable artifact in the world
00:11:55.68\00:11:58.31
you could find?
00:11:58.35\00:12:00.28
If somebody could
find the Ten Commandments,
00:12:00.32\00:12:04.25
because the Ten Commandments
were spoken by God's voice
00:12:04.29\00:12:08.52
and then
written by God's finger,
00:12:08.56\00:12:11.36
and placed in a golden box,
00:12:11.39\00:12:13.09
and we'll talk
about that in a minute.
00:12:13.13\00:12:14.46
Then they were given to Moses.
00:12:14.50\00:12:16.70
And Moses put
them in the golden box
00:12:16.73\00:12:18.73
sometimes called
the Ark of the Covenant.
00:12:18.77\00:12:21.57
There's been a lot
of people who said, oh,
00:12:21.60\00:12:23.17
if we could only find
that missing golden box,
00:12:23.20\00:12:26.44
but you know,
00:12:26.47\00:12:27.81
I know where the
Ark of the Covenant is.
00:12:27.84\00:12:32.55
You want me to tell you? Yes.
00:12:32.58\00:12:34.85
You know, the Bible sort of
gives us pretty strong clue.
00:12:34.88\00:12:37.75
The map, the
clues are in the Bible.
00:12:37.79\00:12:41.16
The ark was in the temple,
00:12:41.19\00:12:43.86
all the way up past
the time of King Hezekiah.
00:12:43.89\00:12:47.46
When Jeremiah the
Prophet told the people that
00:12:47.50\00:12:50.77
King Nebuchadnezzar was
going to destroy Jerusalem
00:12:50.80\00:12:53.44
and the temple,
Jeremiah and some of the priests
00:12:53.47\00:12:57.11
that work with
Him, they took the ark
00:12:57.14\00:12:59.87
and they hid it in a cave
somewhere around Jerusalem.
00:12:59.91\00:13:02.44
It had to be
because the city was
00:13:02.48\00:13:04.01
surrounded by
the Babylonian army.
00:13:04.05\00:13:06.11
But I've been to Jerusalem
and underneath Jerusalem,
00:13:06.15\00:13:08.38
it's like a honeycomb,
00:13:08.42\00:13:09.75
it's like an ant
farm full of tunnels.
00:13:09.78\00:13:12.45
And Jeremiah and
some of the priests
00:13:12.49\00:13:13.82
must have hid it there
00:13:13.86\00:13:15.19
because when Nebuchadnezzar
conquered the city,
00:13:15.22\00:13:17.33
it talks about
the different things
00:13:17.36\00:13:18.69
from the temple,
00:13:18.73\00:13:20.06
the ark is
never seen from again.
00:13:20.10\00:13:22.53
And so many of the
people were killed,
00:13:22.56\00:13:24.30
the people who knew
the secret probably died
00:13:24.33\00:13:27.50
and hidden somewhere
underneath Jerusalem in a cave.
00:13:27.54\00:13:31.47
I believe the Ark of
the Covenant is still there.
00:13:31.51\00:13:33.78
But you know,
00:13:33.81\00:13:35.14
what's even more
important than that?
00:13:35.18\00:13:37.41
Is it the golden box?
00:13:37.45\00:13:40.12
Or what's the
treasure the rocks in the box?
00:13:40.15\00:13:43.32
The rocks in the box.
00:13:43.35\00:13:44.69
Well, the golden box
was just a container.
00:13:44.72\00:13:47.09
It's the rocks in the box.
00:13:47.12\00:13:48.72
You can read, it says,
00:13:48.76\00:13:50.59
"The tables
were the work of God.
00:13:50.63\00:13:52.56
How many tables of stone?
00:13:52.59\00:13:54.40
Two. Two.
00:13:54.43\00:13:55.76
And the writing
was the writing of God
00:13:55.80\00:13:58.13
engraved on the table.
00:13:58.17\00:14:00.74
So He declared
unto you His covenant
00:14:00.77\00:14:02.64
which He
commanded you to perform.
00:14:02.67\00:14:04.44
These are the words of
God, even Ten Commandments,
00:14:04.47\00:14:07.68
and He wrote them
on two tables of stone.
00:14:07.71\00:14:10.65
And Moses brought
them down the mountain.
00:14:10.68\00:14:12.78
And he put them in.
00:14:12.81\00:14:14.15
There is a picture of
it up there on the screen,
00:14:14.18\00:14:16.52
the Ark of the Covenant.
00:14:16.55\00:14:17.92
And it
represents the throne of God
00:14:17.95\00:14:19.62
and it had two angels on
top that were looking down
00:14:19.65\00:14:22.89
because the most
important thing in the world
00:14:22.92\00:14:26.19
is the Word of God.
00:14:26.23\00:14:28.70
Think about it. What
would you rather have?
00:14:28.73\00:14:32.27
A golden egg or a goose
that could lay golden eggs?
00:14:32.30\00:14:37.24
Goose that lays golden eggs.
00:14:37.27\00:14:38.64
If you got the goose, you
can get as many golden eggs
00:14:38.67\00:14:40.41
as you want.
00:14:40.44\00:14:41.78
You've probably
heard the expression,
00:14:41.81\00:14:43.14
"Don't kill the goose
that lays the golden egg."
00:14:43.18\00:14:45.88
What would you want?
00:14:45.91\00:14:47.25
Would you want the golden
box or would you want the one
00:14:47.28\00:14:50.29
who could make the golden box?
00:14:50.32\00:14:52.19
The one who
makes the golden box.
00:14:52.22\00:14:54.22
We need to love
the Creator Jesus
00:14:54.26\00:14:56.69
more than the creation.
00:14:56.73\00:14:58.06
Some people say, "Oh, I
wish I could find the ark,
00:14:58.09\00:14:59.76
but, you know what?
00:14:59.79\00:15:01.13
I've got the words that
are in the ark right here
00:15:01.16\00:15:03.97
and they're in the
Bible's that you're getting,
00:15:04.00\00:15:05.90
the Ten Commandments,
00:15:05.93\00:15:07.30
the word spoken
by God's own mouth,
00:15:07.34\00:15:09.74
written by His own finger.
00:15:09.77\00:15:11.11
I've got the
treasure right here.
00:15:11.14\00:15:13.38
It's the code of the king.
00:15:13.41\00:15:15.98
All right. Number two.
00:15:16.01\00:15:18.21
Why did God give us
the Ten Commandments?
00:15:18.25\00:15:22.32
He gave us the Ten Commandments
00:15:22.35\00:15:23.75
because it's to
bring us to the Lord.
00:15:23.79\00:15:27.06
It's to guide us.
00:15:27.09\00:15:28.56
Bible says, "The
law was our tutor,
00:15:28.59\00:15:31.29
to bring us to Christ."
00:15:31.33\00:15:33.33
And again, does He
give us the Ten Commandments
00:15:33.36\00:15:35.90
to make us unhappy
or to give us happiness?
00:15:35.93\00:15:38.37
To give us happiness.
Happy is He who keeps the law.
00:15:38.40\00:15:43.10
Now the people who
are in jail tonight
00:15:43.14\00:15:45.17
because they broke the
law, are they very happy?
00:15:45.21\00:15:47.11
No.
00:15:47.14\00:15:48.48
Someone robbed something,
00:15:48.51\00:15:50.11
they get
arrested and put in jail.
00:15:50.15\00:15:51.51
They're not very happy.
Pastor Doug used to be a thief.
00:15:51.55\00:15:55.78
I've been in jail. It's no fun.
00:15:55.82\00:15:58.59
You don't want to.
Disobedience is not fun.
00:15:58.62\00:16:01.42
I've had a lot more fun
00:16:01.46\00:16:03.32
since I learned about God's law.
00:16:03.36\00:16:05.33
And I started to
follow His law in my life,
00:16:05.36\00:16:08.33
it kept me out of
all kinds of trouble.
00:16:08.36\00:16:10.40
Don't you get in trouble
00:16:10.43\00:16:11.77
when you break
your parents rules?
00:16:11.80\00:16:13.13
Yes.
00:16:13.17\00:16:14.60
And maybe they'll
give you quiet time
00:16:14.64\00:16:16.34
or you might even
get a laying on of hands,
00:16:16.37\00:16:20.51
special ceremony.
00:16:20.54\00:16:24.48
But that's not as bad
as breaking God's law.
00:16:24.51\00:16:27.35
If we are not forgiven
for breaking God's law,
00:16:27.38\00:16:29.62
it's big trouble.
00:16:29.65\00:16:31.15
He wants to bless us.
00:16:31.19\00:16:32.59
The Bible says,
in Proverbs 31:1-2,
00:16:32.62\00:16:35.69
"Keep My
commandments for length of days
00:16:35.72\00:16:38.63
and long life and
peace, they will."
00:16:38.66\00:16:41.70
I want length of
days. I want long life.
00:16:41.73\00:16:44.47
I want peace.
00:16:44.50\00:16:45.83
You can read in Exodus 19:5,
00:16:45.87\00:16:47.94
"Now therefore, if you
indeed will obey My voice
00:16:47.97\00:16:50.51
and keep My covenant,
00:16:50.54\00:16:52.07
then you will be
a special treasure
00:16:52.11\00:16:54.74
to Me above all the
people in the world."
00:16:54.78\00:16:58.35
God wants us to be
that treasure for Him.
00:16:58.38\00:17:02.02
So people are thinking, "Well,
00:17:02.05\00:17:03.89
God gave us this law
but we can't see Him.
00:17:03.92\00:17:09.42
How do we know He's real?
00:17:09.46\00:17:12.96
Have you ever
wondered about that before?
00:17:12.99\00:17:15.63
How can I know
whether or not God is real?
00:17:15.66\00:17:18.23
Why can't we see God?
00:17:18.27\00:17:20.44
Well, it tells us in Isaiah 59,
00:17:20.47\00:17:23.10
"Your iniquities have
separated you from God.
00:17:23.14\00:17:27.54
And your sins have
hidden His face from you."
00:17:27.58\00:17:31.11
Now we got a special
guest that's gonna come out.
00:17:31.15\00:17:33.05
You remember in
the Garden of Eden...
00:17:33.08\00:17:34.42
Could Adam and Eve
talk to God face to face?
00:17:34.45\00:17:37.52
Yes. They could.
00:17:37.55\00:17:39.59
But when did that change?
00:17:39.62\00:17:41.86
In the garden after
they spoke with who?
00:17:41.89\00:17:45.49
Satan.
00:17:45.53\00:17:46.86
And the devil
who did he appear in?
00:17:46.90\00:17:49.06
Snake. Through a serpent.
00:17:49.10\00:17:50.67
I think we've
got a special guest
00:17:50.70\00:17:52.17
that's gonna come
out now and join us.
00:17:52.20\00:17:54.57
Come on out.
00:17:54.60\00:17:55.94
We got Seth and we got Kurt
00:17:55.97\00:17:57.31
and they are gonna
bring a friend with them.
00:17:57.34\00:18:02.74
This is Monty. Oh, yeah.
00:18:02.78\00:18:06.98
He is a python.
00:18:07.02\00:18:09.12
I think that's his last name.
00:18:09.15\00:18:12.15
Do we have two or three
00:18:12.19\00:18:14.46
brave volunteers?
00:18:14.49\00:18:17.69
Pastor Ross, do
you want to come up?
00:18:17.73\00:18:20.96
Pastor Ross is a
little nervous about snakes.
00:18:21.00\00:18:23.30
Okay, let me
see, we're gonna pick
00:18:23.33\00:18:25.00
a couple of people here.
00:18:25.03\00:18:26.37
If you can come girl right here,
00:18:26.40\00:18:28.34
and you, yup, you can come here,
00:18:28.37\00:18:30.37
let me get over
here, young man right here.
00:18:30.41\00:18:32.61
Come on.
00:18:32.64\00:18:33.98
Now, everyone sit down.
00:18:34.01\00:18:35.44
Now we got a lot
happening tonight.
00:18:35.48\00:18:36.81
You're gonna get a chance.
00:18:36.85\00:18:38.55
Now why don't you
stand behind Kurt and Seth
00:18:38.58\00:18:40.58
and they'll let you.
00:18:40.62\00:18:41.95
Now they tell me that
Monty is shedding right now.
00:18:41.98\00:18:44.29
So he's getting
far away, aren't we?
00:18:44.32\00:18:48.66
Now sometimes the
serpent, he got a bad rap.
00:18:48.69\00:18:52.69
You got to hold him up
in the middle, lift him up.
00:18:52.73\00:18:54.60
Come on over here.
00:18:54.63\00:18:56.56
The serpent got a bad rap
00:18:56.60\00:19:02.00
because of stuff like this.
00:19:02.04\00:19:04.27
All right, hang on Monty.
00:19:04.31\00:19:08.84
You wanna help me with him?
00:19:08.88\00:19:11.25
I think he's
getting hungry. Yes.
00:19:11.28\00:19:13.85
Yeah, he's actually yawning. Oh.
00:19:13.88\00:19:15.92
I thought I was gonna disappear.
00:19:19.15\00:19:21.12
She's getting ready to
tell you how nice snakes were.
00:19:21.16\00:19:25.86
You're holding the safe end.
00:19:25.89\00:19:27.30
Well, that may not be safe too.
00:19:27.33\00:19:28.66
We're not sure yet.
00:19:28.70\00:19:31.93
Well, this is a big
snake. But who made snakes?
00:19:31.97\00:19:34.10
God. God did.
00:19:34.14\00:19:35.74
People think
because the devil spoke
00:19:35.77\00:19:37.21
through the snake that
the devil made the snake.
00:19:37.24\00:19:39.81
Can God speak
through a donkey? Yes.
00:19:39.84\00:19:42.24
God made donkeys too.
00:19:42.28\00:19:44.25
So snakes can actually
be beautiful creatures.
00:19:44.28\00:19:46.31
They're very hypnotic.
00:19:46.35\00:19:47.88
In the Garden of
Eden, we believe that
00:19:47.92\00:19:49.78
snakes even maybe
had wings and could fly,
00:19:49.82\00:19:52.49
because after the curse,
00:19:52.52\00:19:55.46
then they had to
crawl on the ground.
00:19:55.49\00:19:57.73
But it was after Adam and Eve's
encounter with the serpent.
00:19:57.76\00:20:01.56
And they chose not to
listen to the Word of God,
00:20:01.60\00:20:03.60
but they listened to
the word of the serpent,
00:20:03.63\00:20:05.77
their garments
of life disappeared
00:20:05.80\00:20:07.24
and they could no
longer talk to God
00:20:07.27\00:20:09.00
face to face.
00:20:09.04\00:20:10.67
Now they had to speak
to God through prayer.
00:20:10.71\00:20:13.41
All right, say goodbye to Monty.
00:20:13.44\00:20:15.11
Good bye. Nice
meeting you, Monty.
00:20:15.14\00:20:17.85
We're glad.
00:20:17.88\00:20:19.21
How many kids,
let's count make sure
00:20:19.25\00:20:20.58
we got all the kids
that we came up with here.
00:20:20.62\00:20:22.95
How much does he
weigh? About 40 pounds.
00:20:22.98\00:20:25.09
Forty pounds snake.
Okay. That's as much as...
00:20:25.12\00:20:28.76
So how many of
you weigh 40 pounds?
00:20:28.79\00:20:31.33
You guys.
00:20:31.36\00:20:34.46
Thank you very much.
00:20:34.50\00:20:36.56

00:20:36.60\00:20:37.93
We got some
exciting things for you.
00:20:37.97\00:20:39.33
Let's thank Seth
and Kurt and Monty.
00:20:39.37\00:20:43.81
That's pretty neat.
00:20:43.84\00:20:46.17

00:21:43.57\00:21:46.87
All of us have
sinned, and the Bible says,
00:21:46.90\00:21:49.47
"Our sins have
separated us from God."
00:21:49.50\00:21:53.51
So does God give us the
law to take away your happiness
00:21:53.54\00:21:55.98
or to protect our happiness?
00:21:56.01\00:21:58.08
Protect. Protect it.
00:21:58.11\00:21:59.71
I heard a story about some boys,
00:21:59.75\00:22:01.15
and there was a zoo
in England years ago.
00:22:01.18\00:22:03.65
And they had a lion cage.
00:22:03.69\00:22:05.95
And outside of the
lion cage, they had a hedge.
00:22:05.99\00:22:09.46
They didn't want anyone
00:22:09.49\00:22:10.83
getting close
to the lion's cage.
00:22:10.86\00:22:12.43
And so there was a hedge there
00:22:12.46\00:22:14.00
between the people
and the lion's cage.
00:22:14.03\00:22:16.20
And there were signs everywhere.
00:22:16.23\00:22:17.57
It says, "Do
not cross the hedge.
00:22:17.60\00:22:19.43
Do not cross the hedge."
00:22:19.47\00:22:21.44
But one day, some boys
were teasing each other.
00:22:21.47\00:22:23.61
They saw the lion was
laying down in the sun.
00:22:23.64\00:22:26.21
He looked like
he was taking a nap,
00:22:26.24\00:22:27.58
big, powerful African lion.
00:22:27.61\00:22:30.45
And the boy said,
"I dare you to go up
00:22:30.48\00:22:32.11
next to the cage."
00:22:32.15\00:22:33.82
And his friend
said, "I'm not afraid,
00:22:33.85\00:22:35.18
that lion's sleeping.
00:22:35.22\00:22:36.62
So you come with me. All right?"
00:22:36.65\00:22:39.45
Two boys together,
they went around the hedge
00:22:39.49\00:22:41.16
and they came up to the cage
00:22:41.19\00:22:42.52
and they got a hold of
the bars of the lion's cage
00:22:42.56\00:22:44.93
and they were looking in.
00:22:44.96\00:22:46.46
Right then the zookeeper
saw what they were doing.
00:22:46.49\00:22:49.26
He said, "Quick boys,
get away from that cage."
00:22:49.30\00:22:52.23
And as soon as he yelled,
the lion woke up in a flash,
00:22:52.27\00:22:56.40
in just a moment
that it took to say that,
00:22:56.44\00:22:59.54
he had jumped all the way from
00:22:59.57\00:23:01.88
where he was sleeping
to the edge of the cage
00:23:01.91\00:23:04.85
and stuck his paw
through and swiped at the boys
00:23:04.88\00:23:08.72
just they jumped
away just in time.
00:23:08.75\00:23:11.75
He nearly caught them.
00:23:11.79\00:23:13.12
You know, some
people had been killed
00:23:13.15\00:23:14.49
because they get too
close to the cage and lions
00:23:14.52\00:23:16.06
and tigers have
actually grabbed people
00:23:16.09\00:23:18.73
and really hurt them.
00:23:18.76\00:23:20.80
The hedge was
there to protect them.
00:23:20.83\00:23:22.46
God gives us
His law, as a hedge,
00:23:22.50\00:23:25.87
like a guard rail
on a dangerous turn
00:23:25.90\00:23:28.50
to keep us from
getting in trouble.
00:23:28.54\00:23:30.37
It's not there to
take away your happiness.
00:23:30.41\00:23:32.47
It's there to save your life.
00:23:32.51\00:23:34.38
So don't ever think
the laws are bad thing.
00:23:34.41\00:23:36.24
The law is a good thing.
00:23:36.28\00:23:38.41
According to the
Bible, what is sin?
00:23:38.45\00:23:40.42
And why did we need a law?
00:23:40.45\00:23:43.28
You can read in the Bible.
00:23:43.32\00:23:44.69
Sin is lawlessness.
00:23:44.72\00:23:47.49
Whenever we commit any sin,
00:23:47.52\00:23:49.62
we're breaking the
commandments of God.
00:23:49.66\00:23:51.73
Bible says,
00:23:51.76\00:23:53.09
"Sin is the
transgression of God's law."
00:23:53.13\00:23:55.46
That
transgression means we break it.
00:23:55.50\00:23:57.30
So if you lie,
00:23:57.33\00:23:58.67
that's one of
the Ten Commandments.
00:23:58.70\00:24:00.04
"Do not bear false
witness." That's a sin.
00:24:00.07\00:24:02.40
If you steal, Bible
says, "Thou shalt not steal."
00:24:02.44\00:24:05.24
That's a sin.
00:24:05.27\00:24:06.84
And so whenever
we obey God's law,
00:24:06.88\00:24:09.04
we stay away from the
things that caused problems.
00:24:09.08\00:24:12.15
The law is wonderful in that
00:24:12.18\00:24:14.35
it shows us what sin is.
00:24:14.38\00:24:18.35
So that it keeps
us out of trouble.
00:24:18.39\00:24:20.62
But does the law save us? No.
00:24:20.66\00:24:23.73
All right, I
need two volunteers.
00:24:23.76\00:24:26.93
All right, I'm
gonna come over to you.
00:24:26.96\00:24:28.30
We'll get a boy and a girl.
00:24:28.33\00:24:30.17
Everybody that
volunteers and comes up,
00:24:30.20\00:24:31.97
someone who hasn't been up yet.
00:24:32.00\00:24:33.77
I'm going back here
into the deep recesses.
00:24:33.80\00:24:37.34
All right, you can come up here.
00:24:37.37\00:24:39.91
And let's see who
else do we got here.
00:24:39.94\00:24:41.84
All right, the redhead girl.
00:24:41.88\00:24:45.48
All right, now I want you
to go in the treasure chest,
00:24:45.51\00:24:48.15
one of you is gonna find
00:24:48.18\00:24:49.52
something in
there that reflects,
00:24:49.55\00:24:50.89
and when you open
the treasure chest,
00:24:50.92\00:24:52.25
make sure you
wave at the camera.
00:24:52.29\00:24:54.46
There you go.
00:24:54.49\00:24:56.66
You see something that reflects?
00:24:56.69\00:25:00.00
No, not the gold,
the mirror. There you go.
00:25:00.03\00:25:03.73
And now and there
should be a red rag.
00:25:03.77\00:25:07.20
Okay, you guys got
those two things there?
00:25:07.24\00:25:10.04
All right.
00:25:10.07\00:25:11.41
Now I need you to
help me out with something.
00:25:11.44\00:25:14.38
Okay, very good.
00:25:14.41\00:25:17.51
Now, do you notice
anything different about me?
00:25:17.55\00:25:19.68
Yeah. Yeah.
00:25:19.71\00:25:21.58
What's your name? Come closer.
00:25:21.62\00:25:22.95
Come here. Come here.
00:25:22.98\00:25:24.32
What's your name? Emily.
00:25:24.35\00:25:25.72
Emily? Yeah.
00:25:25.75\00:25:27.09
And your? El.
00:25:27.12\00:25:28.89
El? Yeah.
00:25:28.92\00:25:31.83
My brother had red
hair just like that.
00:25:31.86\00:25:34.56
And I have no
hair. It just isn't fair.
00:25:34.60\00:25:36.83
So, okay, so do
you see anything wrong
00:25:36.87\00:25:41.00
with my appearance right now?
00:25:41.04\00:25:42.70
Yes. What's wrong?
00:25:42.74\00:25:45.07
You have tape on your
head. You see tape on my head?
00:25:45.11\00:25:48.11
Do you see tape on my head? Yes.
00:25:48.14\00:25:51.98
I know you're gonna
find this hard to believe,
00:25:52.01\00:25:53.65
but in spite of the fact
00:25:53.68\00:25:55.02
that you all
see tape on my head.
00:25:55.05\00:25:56.79
I don't see
anything wrong with my head.
00:25:56.82\00:25:59.22
I'm always worried
during this part of the program
00:25:59.25\00:26:01.39
that some kid is
gonna be looking on TV,
00:26:01.42\00:26:03.06
he'll have just
turned the channel
00:26:03.09\00:26:04.49
and he sees me
standing like that.
00:26:04.53\00:26:05.86
He's gonna say mom, dad,
Pastor Doug, has the mark.
00:26:05.89\00:26:11.53
Now I can't see it.
00:26:11.57\00:26:12.90
What do I need, if I'm gonna see
00:26:12.93\00:26:14.90
what's on my head?
00:26:14.94\00:26:16.27
Mirror. A mirror?
00:26:16.30\00:26:17.64
Oh, look, thank
you so much. Exhibit A.
00:26:17.67\00:26:19.81
All right. Right
now I feel pretty good.
00:26:19.84\00:26:21.18
We're having a great program.
00:26:21.21\00:26:24.78
But when I look
in here I go, oh.
00:26:24.81\00:26:26.38
Now, if I taught the
rest of the program like this,
00:26:29.62\00:26:31.95
would you find it distracting?
00:26:31.99\00:26:33.32
Yes.
00:26:33.36\00:26:34.96
Have you ever talked to somebody
00:26:34.99\00:26:36.46
after they came from lunch
and why they're talking to you,
00:26:36.49\00:26:38.79
they got a big piece of
like, broccoli or something
00:26:38.83\00:26:42.40
that stuck like one whole tooth
00:26:42.43\00:26:44.17
is covered with
a piece of parsley,
00:26:44.20\00:26:46.13
and they're talking to
you and you're going...
00:26:46.17\00:26:48.14
And you don't wanna
embarrass them and say,
00:26:48.17\00:26:49.50
"Man, you got a big old piece
of green leaf on your tooth."
00:26:49.54\00:26:53.31
You can't hear
anything they're saying
00:26:53.34\00:26:54.91
because all you can
see is the big green thing
00:26:54.94\00:26:56.64
on their tooth.
00:26:56.68\00:26:58.25
So it would distract you,
00:26:58.28\00:27:00.32
if I taught the
whole class like this.
00:27:00.35\00:27:02.68
Yes.
00:27:02.72\00:27:04.05
So I look in
here and I feel fine,
00:27:04.09\00:27:05.45
I go, oh,
there's something wrong
00:27:05.49\00:27:06.89
with my appearance.
00:27:06.92\00:27:09.86
So I felt fine until
I looked in the mirror.
00:27:09.89\00:27:13.13
So my answer is just
throw away the mirror.
00:27:13.16\00:27:15.50
And now I'm gonna
be okay. Is that right?
00:27:15.53\00:27:17.50
No.
00:27:17.53\00:27:18.87
Will that solve my problem? No.
00:27:18.90\00:27:22.00
Well, if the mirror showed
me that I've got a problem,
00:27:22.04\00:27:25.24
then maybe the answer is
I gotta just take the mirror
00:27:25.27\00:27:27.54
and does that help me?
00:27:27.58\00:27:30.95
No.
00:27:30.98\00:27:32.31
You mean, the
mirror would show me
00:27:32.35\00:27:33.68
I've got a problem,
00:27:33.72\00:27:35.05
but it's not helping
me with my problem...
00:27:35.08\00:27:36.58
Is the mirror supposed
to take away my problem?
00:27:36.62\00:27:38.65
No.
00:27:38.69\00:27:41.02
No, the mirror
doesn't take it away.
00:27:41.06\00:27:42.72
When you look in the
mirror in the morning
00:27:42.76\00:27:44.29
and you wash your
face, I'm assuming you do.
00:27:44.33\00:27:46.76
If you see there on your face,
00:27:46.80\00:27:48.13
do you rub your
face against the mirror?
00:27:48.16\00:27:49.63
No.
00:27:49.66\00:27:51.00
The mirror is just
supposed to show you
00:27:51.03\00:27:52.60
there's a problem or
if you brush your teeth
00:27:52.63\00:27:54.10
and then you look
00:27:54.14\00:27:55.47
and see if you
left anything behind.
00:27:55.50\00:27:57.14
The mirror is just
supposed to show you
00:27:57.17\00:27:58.97
if there's a problem.
00:27:59.01\00:28:00.34
So what do I need if
I've got dirt on my face?
00:28:00.38\00:28:03.88
I've gotta wash it.
Well, thank you very much.
00:28:03.91\00:28:08.25
So like this here,
00:28:08.28\00:28:13.72
and let's see if this works?
00:28:13.76\00:28:18.43
Oh, I feel so much better.
00:28:18.46\00:28:20.60
Now here's the point.
00:28:20.63\00:28:22.46
This is the law.
Look, I can shine it.
00:28:22.50\00:28:28.40
This is the law.
00:28:28.44\00:28:30.74
This is the blood of Jesus.
00:28:30.77\00:28:33.04
The law shows us our sin.
00:28:33.07\00:28:35.81
The blood of Jesus
takes away our sin.
00:28:35.84\00:28:38.71
Isn't that what
it's supposed to do?
00:28:38.75\00:28:40.45
Thank you very much,
girls. I tell you what?
00:28:40.48\00:28:41.82
You get to keep the mirror
and you get to keep the rag,
00:28:41.85\00:28:43.85
sell that on eBay, it
might be worth something.
00:28:43.89\00:28:45.65
Let's give them a hand.
00:28:45.69\00:28:48.46
All right.
00:28:48.49\00:28:51.63
So when you look in
the mirror, the law of God,
00:28:51.66\00:28:54.40
you're gonna go, I've got sin.
00:28:54.43\00:28:58.50
But then you come to
Jesus and He forgives your sin,
00:28:58.53\00:29:01.10
the law is not
supposed to take away our sin.
00:29:01.14\00:29:03.91
The Bible says,
"There's nothing wrong
00:29:03.94\00:29:05.27
with the law.
00:29:05.31\00:29:06.64
The law of the Lord is
perfect, converting the soul."
00:29:06.68\00:29:11.01
Matter of fact, Paul says,
"I would not have known sin
00:29:11.05\00:29:14.68
except through the law."
00:29:14.72\00:29:16.05
It's the law that shows
us that we've got a problem.
00:29:16.08\00:29:18.89
"For I would not have known
00:29:18.92\00:29:20.42
covetousness
unless the law said,
00:29:20.46\00:29:22.69
'You shall not covet.'"
00:29:22.72\00:29:24.69
And then we're commanded
in the Bible, in James 2:12,
00:29:24.73\00:29:28.83
"So speak and so do as
those who will be judged
00:29:28.86\00:29:33.77
by the law of liberty."
00:29:33.80\00:29:35.84
The law is there not
to take away our sin,
00:29:35.87\00:29:39.01
it's there to reveal our sin,
00:29:39.04\00:29:41.88
but the devil hates the law.
00:29:41.91\00:29:45.28
The devil even has some
people that are saying, oh,
00:29:45.31\00:29:47.58
because Jesus saves us by grace,
00:29:47.62\00:29:49.22
we don't need the law.
00:29:49.25\00:29:50.59
If you've got Jesus'
grace, you don't need to obey.
00:29:50.62\00:29:53.15
That's a lie.
00:29:53.19\00:29:54.52
The devil is
attacking God's law.
00:29:54.56\00:29:56.79
Paul said, Romans 3:31,
"Do we make void the law
00:29:56.83\00:30:02.16
through faith?"
00:30:02.20\00:30:03.53
What's the answer?
00:30:03.57\00:30:05.50
God forbid. We establish law.
00:30:05.53\00:30:07.90
If you have faith
and if you have grace,
00:30:07.94\00:30:09.90
you don't take away the law.
00:30:09.94\00:30:11.31
It establishes the law
and I need three volunteers.
00:30:11.34\00:30:14.98
So I'll come over
here because I think
00:30:15.01\00:30:16.78
I went to the
last section last time.
00:30:16.81\00:30:19.25
And young lady there, now,
these are ones you haven't.
00:30:19.28\00:30:21.95
And you can help
me that's two girls
00:30:21.98\00:30:24.15
and we'll take a boy.
00:30:24.19\00:30:25.52
Have you been up yet? Yes.
00:30:25.55\00:30:26.89
Oh, yeah, you come
on up. You come up.
00:30:26.92\00:30:28.49
All right, you guys,
three of you come up,
00:30:28.52\00:30:29.86
quick, quick, quick.
00:30:29.89\00:30:31.33
All right. Don't worry.
We got more going on here.
00:30:31.36\00:30:33.09
This is gonna be a fun
night. Where did I put this?
00:30:33.13\00:30:35.40
All right.
00:30:35.43\00:30:39.10
So what's your name? Dylan.
00:30:39.13\00:30:40.87
Dylan, now your name is law.
00:30:40.90\00:30:43.97
What is your name? Ashley.
00:30:44.01\00:30:45.87
Ashley, sorry,
but your name is Sin.
00:30:45.91\00:30:49.58
And what's your name? Sarelyn.
00:30:49.61\00:30:51.25
Sarelyn, your name is Jesus.
00:30:51.28\00:30:52.61
All right, come
here, line up here.
00:30:52.65\00:30:54.65
Okay, just like this. All right.
00:30:54.68\00:30:57.99
Let me show you how this works.
00:30:58.02\00:31:01.66
The law shows us our sin,
00:31:01.69\00:31:04.93
sin as a
transgression of the law.
00:31:04.96\00:31:07.20
When we're then
aware that we have sin,
00:31:07.23\00:31:10.83
we think, "Oh, no,
what am I going to do?
00:31:10.87\00:31:12.20
The penalty for sin is death."
00:31:12.23\00:31:14.10
But the only hope
is that we go to Jesus,
00:31:14.14\00:31:16.77
and through Jesus,
00:31:16.81\00:31:18.14
we are forgiven
of our sins, right?
00:31:18.17\00:31:21.01
So what the devil tries to do.
00:31:21.04\00:31:23.11
You just turn around here.
00:31:23.14\00:31:24.48
The devil says, "If
you take away the law,
00:31:24.51\00:31:27.72
well, people don't
know about the law,
00:31:27.75\00:31:29.25
then without the law,
there is no knowledge of sin,
00:31:29.28\00:31:32.22
the Bible tells us.
00:31:32.25\00:31:33.86
If it wasn't for the
law, I would not have known
00:31:33.89\00:31:35.89
about covetousness.
00:31:35.92\00:31:37.26
We just read.
00:31:37.29\00:31:38.63
You don't have the
law, you don't have sin.
00:31:38.66\00:31:41.76
And if you don't have sin,
00:31:41.80\00:31:43.13
you don't have
salvation through Jesus.
00:31:43.16\00:31:46.13
So the devil by
attacking the law,
00:31:46.17\00:31:48.24
he gets rid of salvation
00:31:48.27\00:31:50.11
and Jesus and everything, right?
00:31:50.14\00:31:52.84
But when you have the law,
then you're aware of your sin.
00:31:52.87\00:31:57.95
And when you're
aware of your sin,
00:31:57.98\00:32:00.02
then you realize you need
Jesus for salvation from sin.
00:32:00.05\00:32:03.32
Amen? Amen.
00:32:03.35\00:32:04.82
All right, you guys get to
keep those pieces of paper.
00:32:04.85\00:32:07.79
So let's give them a hand.
00:32:07.82\00:32:09.16
Thank you very much for helping.
00:32:09.19\00:32:12.16
So does the Bible
say, do we need to keep
00:32:12.19\00:32:16.40
the commandments?
00:32:16.43\00:32:17.77
The last thing that
Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes,
00:32:17.80\00:32:22.27
"Fear God and
keep His commandments,
00:32:22.30\00:32:25.24
for God will bring
every work into judgment,
00:32:25.27\00:32:29.51
with every secret thing.
00:32:29.54\00:32:32.31
Can we hide
anything from God? No.
00:32:32.35\00:32:35.18
No, God is aware of everything.
00:32:35.22\00:32:37.65
And, you know, right now,
00:32:37.69\00:32:39.92
people have got
cameras all the time
00:32:39.95\00:32:41.72
and someone has an argument,
00:32:41.76\00:32:43.09
someone pulls
out their cell phone
00:32:43.12\00:32:44.46
and pretty soon
it's on national news.
00:32:44.49\00:32:46.76
And just like
every little thing,
00:32:46.80\00:32:48.13
someone's got the camera going.
00:32:48.16\00:32:49.96
Well, you know,
the Bible tells us
00:32:50.00\00:32:52.17
that God's angels
record everything they see.
00:32:52.20\00:32:55.84
Jesus said, every idle word,
you know what an idle word is?
00:32:55.87\00:33:00.71
A thoughtless
word, you just talking.
00:33:00.74\00:33:02.91
Every idle word
that men will speak,
00:33:02.94\00:33:05.41
they will give an
account thereof in the judgment.
00:33:05.45\00:33:09.32
For by your words,
you'll be justified
00:33:09.35\00:33:11.02
and by your words,
you'll be condemned.
00:33:11.05\00:33:13.66
And Jesus then said,
00:33:13.69\00:33:15.02
"Out of the
abundance of the heart,
00:33:15.06\00:33:16.39
the mouth speaks."
00:33:16.42\00:33:18.09
And so, you wanna change heart?
00:33:18.13\00:33:20.86
You want to change
words, you need to change heart.
00:33:20.90\00:33:23.16
So, why did God
choose the special laws?
00:33:23.20\00:33:27.40
Why do we have
the Ten Commandments?
00:33:27.44\00:33:29.90
Bible tells us, Psalms 40:8,
"I delight to do your will,
00:33:29.94\00:33:33.68
O my God, Your law
is within my heart."
00:33:33.71\00:33:37.71
You know, Jesus said,
00:33:37.75\00:33:39.08
"It's not the
ones who say, Lord,
00:33:39.11\00:33:40.45
Lord that are going to heaven."
00:33:40.48\00:33:41.95
He said, "It's those that do
00:33:41.98\00:33:44.05
the will of my
Father in heaven."
00:33:44.09\00:33:47.22
God doesn't want us to
just be saying, Lord, Lord,
00:33:47.26\00:33:49.42
He wants us to be those
00:33:49.46\00:33:50.96
who are doing
the will of the Lord.
00:33:50.99\00:33:53.50
You see, God's law is
really telling us about Jesus.
00:33:53.53\00:33:59.20
It tells us about
the character of God.
00:33:59.23\00:34:02.37
The character of God
is reflected in His law.
00:34:02.40\00:34:05.04
For example, notice this.
00:34:05.07\00:34:06.84
The Bible says in Luke
18, that "God is good."
00:34:06.88\00:34:10.81
Well, the Bible
also says in Romans 7:12,
00:34:10.85\00:34:13.38
"The law is good."
00:34:13.42\00:34:15.18
The Bible says in
Isaiah 5:16, "God is holy."
00:34:15.22\00:34:18.85
It also says, "The law is holy."
00:34:18.89\00:34:21.09
The Bible says,
that "God is just,
00:34:21.12\00:34:23.32
His law is just,
00:34:23.36\00:34:24.69
God is perfect,
His law is perfect."
00:34:24.73\00:34:26.83
You got the
scriptures on the screen,
00:34:26.86\00:34:28.23
and I think
they're in your lesson.
00:34:28.26\00:34:30.07
Bible says, that "God
is righteous, He is truth,
00:34:30.10\00:34:34.20
He is spiritual,
00:34:34.24\00:34:35.57
He's
unchangeable, He's eternal."
00:34:35.60\00:34:37.44
So when people are
attacking the law of God,
00:34:37.47\00:34:39.87
they're really attacking God.
00:34:39.91\00:34:42.01
Because God put down
what His will for us is.
00:34:42.04\00:34:45.28
The will of God is
perfectly expressed.
00:34:45.31\00:34:47.42
The code of the king
is in the law of God.
00:34:47.45\00:34:50.45
You know, how many laws
there are in the US government?
00:34:50.49\00:34:53.76
Millions. If you take all the...
00:34:53.79\00:34:57.46
And, you know, why
there are so many laws?
00:34:57.49\00:35:00.36
The more lawless people are,
00:35:00.40\00:35:02.83
the more laws you
need to control them.
00:35:02.86\00:35:06.77
Do you know
there's a law that says,
00:35:06.80\00:35:08.14
"You are not
allowed to put a skunk
00:35:08.17\00:35:10.37
in your boss's desk?"
00:35:10.41\00:35:13.88
I think it's in
Minnesota, I forget.
00:35:13.91\00:35:16.38
Why do you think
they made that law?
00:35:16.41\00:35:18.78
Because somebody put a
skunk in their boss's desk.
00:35:18.81\00:35:22.52
Do you know
there's one town that says,
00:35:22.55\00:35:23.89
"You cannot
carry an ice cream cone
00:35:23.92\00:35:26.22
in your pocket?"
00:35:26.25\00:35:27.59
Because someone
put an ice cream cone
00:35:27.62\00:35:29.66
in their pocket
and then sat on the bus
00:35:29.69\00:35:31.46
and made a big mess.
00:35:31.49\00:35:33.29
Every crazy law you
hear about is because
00:35:33.33\00:35:35.83
somebody broke the law.
00:35:35.86\00:35:37.63
But God was able to fit His...
00:35:37.67\00:35:40.64
You know, you're not allowed
to detonate a nuclear bomb
00:35:40.67\00:35:43.64
in Chico, California?
00:35:43.67\00:35:46.44
I don't know what someone
did that made that a law.
00:35:46.47\00:35:50.41
But all the laws of God,
00:35:50.45\00:35:52.85
He was able to
get in about 300 words
00:35:52.88\00:35:56.55
that helps us
understand His perfect will.
00:35:56.58\00:35:59.69
The Bible says,
"Therefore the law is holy,
00:35:59.72\00:36:03.46
and the commandment is
holy and just and good."
00:36:03.49\00:36:06.23
God is just and holy and good.
Now here's an important point.
00:36:06.26\00:36:10.97
Does God ever change?
00:36:11.00\00:36:13.77
Do His commandments ever change?
00:36:13.80\00:36:17.14
What does the Bible say?
00:36:17.17\00:36:19.11
God says in Malachi 3:6,
"For I am the Lord," what?
00:36:19.14\00:36:24.65
"I do not change."
00:36:24.68\00:36:27.98
Again, Isaiah
40:8, "The grass withers,
00:36:28.02\00:36:32.02
the flower fades, but
the word of our God stands,"
00:36:32.05\00:36:35.29
for how long?
00:36:35.32\00:36:36.96
"Forever."
00:36:36.99\00:36:38.36
Luke 21:33, Jesus said,
00:36:38.39\00:36:40.13
"Heaven and
earth will pass away,
00:36:40.16\00:36:43.03
but My word will not pass away."
00:36:43.06\00:36:45.20
All of His precepts...
00:36:45.23\00:36:46.57
Psalm 111:7-8, "All
of His precepts are sure.
00:36:46.60\00:36:50.07
They stand fast
forever and ever."
00:36:50.11\00:36:53.91
Now, raise your hands if
you have not been chosen.
00:36:53.94\00:36:56.21
If you've been honest,
hey, don't bear false witness.
00:36:56.24\00:36:58.88
Be honest.
00:36:58.91\00:37:00.25
If you've not done anything yet,
00:37:00.28\00:37:01.62
you can raise your hands.
00:37:01.65\00:37:02.98
All right.
00:37:03.02\00:37:04.35
You're up front
here, that'd be good.
00:37:04.39\00:37:05.72
That's a one, two, and
we'll have you come up.
00:37:05.75\00:37:09.72
Okay, come on. Come on up here.
00:37:09.76\00:37:11.09
Look in the chest here.
00:37:11.13\00:37:14.30
And I want you to...
00:37:14.33\00:37:17.13
Let me see, how
we're gonna do this.
00:37:17.17\00:37:20.84
Find something pink in there.
00:37:20.87\00:37:22.37
Oh, wait, wait, wait,
00:37:27.68\00:37:29.01
I'm getting
ahead of myself here.
00:37:29.04\00:37:30.75
Have you got
something pink in there?
00:37:30.78\00:37:33.45
All right. Now, this is...
00:37:33.48\00:37:37.32
You know, what
kind of board this is?
00:37:37.35\00:37:39.55
Marker board. Marker board.
00:37:39.59\00:37:41.12
What's your name? Kinsey.
00:37:41.16\00:37:42.49
Kinsey, I want you
to take the pen here,
00:37:42.52\00:37:44.33
take the top off.
00:37:44.36\00:37:46.53
Can you know how to spell sin?
00:37:46.56\00:37:47.90
No.
00:37:47.93\00:37:49.26
Sin, S-I-N.
00:37:49.30\00:37:54.20
Okay, now grab
that rag down there.
00:37:54.24\00:37:58.37
What's your name? Melody.
00:37:58.41\00:37:59.74
Melody, I want
you to erase that.
00:37:59.77\00:38:01.14
You can give that to Melody.
00:38:01.18\00:38:05.41
It's not going off.
00:38:05.45\00:38:07.45
Let's some spit on
it or something here?
00:38:07.48\00:38:08.98
No, no, I'm kidding here.
00:38:09.02\00:38:10.35
You just press harder. Come on.
00:38:10.39\00:38:12.19
Press, press,
press, is it coming off?
00:38:12.22\00:38:14.66
Yeah.
00:38:14.69\00:38:16.02
Okay, so that
erases, doesn't it?
00:38:16.06\00:38:18.93
Okay, I want you try
00:38:18.96\00:38:20.30
and erase something else for me.
00:38:20.33\00:38:22.23
Let's open that
little bag package
00:38:22.26\00:38:24.30
that you got there
00:38:24.33\00:38:25.67
and what do you got in there?
00:38:25.70\00:38:27.04
Three, what? Three erasers?
00:38:27.07\00:38:28.64
I'll take that here.
00:38:28.67\00:38:30.04
Open those up. I
got it started for you.
00:38:30.07\00:38:34.11
Now we've got
something that's different from
00:38:34.14\00:38:36.31
an erasing a board here.
00:38:36.34\00:38:38.81
This is a piece of
stone that is engraved.
00:38:38.85\00:38:43.28
You see, they have
the scripture on it.
00:38:43.32\00:38:45.05
It says, "As
for me and my house,
00:38:45.09\00:38:46.82
we will serve the
Lord," Joshua 24:15.
00:38:46.86\00:38:50.23
All right, girls,
00:38:50.26\00:38:51.59
I'd like you to
erase that for me.
00:38:51.63\00:38:53.43
And the boy, you come over here.
00:38:53.46\00:38:55.06
I wanna protect the floor.
00:38:55.10\00:38:56.43
You got three erasers here.
00:38:56.46\00:38:57.93
Let's see how
that works for you.
00:38:57.97\00:39:01.44
Go ahead, come on.
00:39:01.47\00:39:03.47
Participate, you
got to be able to.
00:39:03.51\00:39:05.47
No, it's never gonna work.
00:39:05.51\00:39:06.84
Why won't that work?
00:39:06.88\00:39:09.28
It's the erasers
for pencils to erase.
00:39:09.31\00:39:11.81
What kind of a
eraser do you need?
00:39:11.85\00:39:13.92
You would need a
grinder or something like that.
00:39:13.95\00:39:16.69
When someone
writes something in stone,
00:39:16.72\00:39:18.55
is it meant to be erased?
00:39:18.59\00:39:20.42
No.
00:39:20.46\00:39:21.79
How long is it supposed to last?
00:39:21.82\00:39:23.22
Forever.
00:39:23.26\00:39:24.89
God wrote the Ten
Commandments on what?
00:39:24.93\00:39:27.50
Erasable marker
or on stone? Stone.
00:39:27.53\00:39:31.13
Did He use a pencil? No.
00:39:31.17\00:39:33.64
Or did He use His own hand? Yes.
00:39:33.67\00:39:36.14
How long is it supposed to last?
00:39:36.17\00:39:37.94
Forever. Forever.
00:39:37.97\00:39:39.77
And, you know, where He
wants to write His word?
00:39:39.81\00:39:42.04
In our hearts. In our hearts.
00:39:42.08\00:39:43.71
He wants to write in our hearts.
00:39:43.75\00:39:45.08
Thank you, very much.
You guys, I appreciate it.
00:39:45.11\00:39:46.65
Let's give them a hand.
00:39:46.68\00:39:48.02
You can keep your erasers.
00:39:48.05\00:39:52.15
You know, the
most important decision
00:39:52.19\00:39:53.56
a young person can make
00:39:53.59\00:39:54.92
is that decision to follow Jesus
00:39:54.96\00:39:57.03
and begin that
amazing adventure to eternity.
00:39:57.06\00:39:59.96
That's why we're so
excited to tell you about
00:40:00.00\00:40:01.76
the new Amazing Adventure

00:40:01.80\00:40:05.20
During these nearly 10 hours
00:40:05.23\00:40:06.87
of exciting high
definition programs,
00:40:06.90\00:40:09.07
the young people will
do science experiments,
00:40:09.10\00:40:11.17
learn about history, nature,
encounter some wild animals,
00:40:11.21\00:40:14.74
and most of all,
they'll learn about Jesus
00:40:14.78\00:40:17.15
from the Word of God.
00:40:17.18\00:40:18.51
There's a
beautifully illustrated
00:40:18.55\00:40:19.91
Bible Study

00:40:19.95\00:40:21.92
each of the video presentations.

puzzles, and Bible stories.
00:40:26.35\00:40:29.22
They'll lead your kids through
00:40:29.26\00:40:30.59
an incredible
journey with Jesus.
00:40:30.63\00:40:32.49
And for me, the
most exciting thing
00:40:32.53\00:40:34.10
is this new Amazing
Adventure series goes along
00:40:34.13\00:40:36.87

Facts Adventure Bible.
00:40:36.90\00:40:39.07
The Bible, the study guides,

00:40:42.94\00:40:44.27

00:40:49.41\00:40:52.11
Some people think after
Jesus died on the cross,
00:40:52.15\00:40:54.65
we don't need to keep
the commandments anymore.
00:40:54.68\00:40:56.82
There are actually
pastors that say that,
00:40:56.85\00:40:59.75
that just makes me
shutter because that is what
00:40:59.79\00:41:01.99
you call a doctrine of devils.
00:41:02.02\00:41:04.63
When a pastor tells people...
00:41:04.66\00:41:06.36
I've got it on videotape,
pastors telling people,
00:41:06.39\00:41:09.30
you don't have to keep
the Ten Commandments anymore.
00:41:09.33\00:41:13.44
That's diabolical.
00:41:13.47\00:41:16.34
Of course, you need to
keep the Ten Commandments.
00:41:16.37\00:41:19.51
It's spoken by God.
00:41:19.54\00:41:21.31
Jesus said, "Do not
think I came to destroy
00:41:21.34\00:41:24.18
the law and the prophets.
00:41:24.21\00:41:25.55
I did not come to
destroy but to fulfill."
00:41:25.58\00:41:28.72
He said, "It will be
easier for heaven and earth
00:41:28.75\00:41:30.89
to pass away than
for one jot or tittle."
00:41:30.92\00:41:33.52
A jot was like a
Hebrew, you know,
00:41:33.56\00:41:35.62
like your daughter
tittle like the crossing of tea.
00:41:35.66\00:41:38.43
The smallest marks,
not even the smallest mark
00:41:38.46\00:41:41.30
will pass from the law.
00:41:41.33\00:41:44.17
Now, He said, "Heaven and
earth will have to pass away,"
00:41:44.20\00:41:46.63
you know, why?
00:41:46.67\00:41:49.17
God has a copy of
His law in heaven.
00:41:49.20\00:41:52.97
You read in Revelation,
"And the temple of God
00:41:53.01\00:41:55.74
was open in heaven,
00:41:55.78\00:41:57.35
and the Ark of His Covenant
was seen in His temple."
00:41:57.38\00:42:02.25
Unless you can get to
heaven and take away God's law,
00:42:02.28\00:42:04.39
you can't change His law.
00:42:04.42\00:42:06.22
Wouldn't that be
neat if someone discovered
00:42:06.25\00:42:07.92
the Ark of the
Covenant before Jesus come back?
00:42:07.96\00:42:10.79
That would be the most
valuable artifact in the world.
00:42:10.83\00:42:16.33
Karen and I were in Paris,
00:42:16.36\00:42:18.17
Mrs. Batchelor and I
were earlier this year.
00:42:18.20\00:42:21.67
And we saw the Mona Lisa.
00:42:21.70\00:42:25.91
We could barely get in the room.
00:42:25.94\00:42:27.54
It was a huge room.
00:42:27.58\00:42:29.08
There were
hundreds of people in there
00:42:29.11\00:42:30.75
wanting to see this
painting by Leonardo da Vinci
00:42:30.78\00:42:33.08
little bitty painting.
00:42:33.11\00:42:34.58
You know, why it
became so famous?
00:42:34.62\00:42:35.95
Because it was stolen
years ago and recovered,
00:42:35.98\00:42:38.75
and that made it very valuable.
00:42:38.79\00:42:41.12
But there's
nothing that would be
00:42:41.16\00:42:42.49
more valuable than to have words
00:42:42.52\00:42:44.33
written not by
Leonardo or Michelangelo,
00:42:44.36\00:42:47.46
but the words written by God.
00:42:47.50\00:42:49.86
You can have the
words written by God.
00:42:49.90\00:42:52.50
It's in your Bible.
00:42:52.53\00:42:54.24
Jesus said, "If you love Me,"
we're to keep His commandments.
00:42:54.27\00:42:59.61
"You will abide in
My love, as I have kept
00:42:59.64\00:43:02.58
My Father's Commandments
and abide in His love."
00:43:02.61\00:43:05.41
Do you love the Lord?
00:43:05.45\00:43:07.02
He died to save
you from your sins
00:43:07.05\00:43:09.02
because He loves you so much.
00:43:09.05\00:43:10.45
He says, "Now if you
love Me, obey My law."
00:43:10.49\00:43:14.59
Bible tells us,
"Christ also suffered for us,
00:43:14.62\00:43:18.53
leaving us an example
00:43:18.56\00:43:20.50
that we should
follow in His steps,
00:43:20.53\00:43:22.90
who committed no sin."
00:43:22.93\00:43:24.87
Did Jesus ever sin? No.
00:43:24.90\00:43:26.84
Did He ever break His
Father's Commandments?
00:43:26.87\00:43:28.50
No.
00:43:28.54\00:43:29.87
When He gives us His Spirit,
00:43:29.90\00:43:31.24
is it possible
for us to do that?
00:43:31.27\00:43:34.08
It is.
00:43:34.11\00:43:35.44
It says, "He committed no sin,
00:43:35.48\00:43:37.38
nor was there any
deceit found in His mouth."
00:43:37.41\00:43:40.42
Now how many of you
know the Ten Commandments?
00:43:40.45\00:43:42.15
Can any of you
say them by heart?
00:43:42.18\00:43:44.85
You know, all 10?
00:43:44.89\00:43:46.22
Oh, look at that,
not so many hands now.
00:43:46.25\00:43:50.23
I think, I could do
all Ten commandments.
00:43:50.26\00:43:51.96
Do you know that if you
lived during the time of Jesus,
00:43:51.99\00:43:55.33
every Jewish boy could
tell you the Ten Commandments.
00:43:55.36\00:43:58.67
Many of them can
recite the whole Book
00:43:58.70\00:44:01.04
of Deuteronomy from memory.
00:44:01.07\00:44:03.20
I had a young man
came to our church
00:44:03.24\00:44:05.11
in Sacramento.
00:44:05.14\00:44:06.74
And he stood up on the stage.
00:44:06.78\00:44:08.11
His father says, "He's memorized
00:44:08.14\00:44:09.48
the whole Book of Revelation."
00:44:09.51\00:44:11.28
I said, "Really?" He
said, "Yeah, test him."
00:44:11.31\00:44:14.18
So we brought him
up during our service.
00:44:14.22\00:44:16.02
And I said, "Okay, I
know revelation pretty good,
00:44:16.05\00:44:18.25
but I don't have the
whole thing memorized."
00:44:18.29\00:44:20.46
And I said, "Okay,
Revelation Chapter 5."
00:44:20.49\00:44:23.86
And he stood there,
he thought for a moment.
00:44:23.89\00:44:25.23
And then he began to
recite from the first verse
00:44:25.26\00:44:27.33
going through the whole chapter.
00:44:27.36\00:44:29.90
He had memorized it all.
00:44:29.93\00:44:31.53
Thy word I've hidden in my heart
00:44:31.57\00:44:33.97
that I might not sin.
00:44:34.00\00:44:35.34
The Word of God will
guide you through your life,
00:44:35.37\00:44:38.64
and it'll keep you
out of a lot of trouble.
00:44:38.67\00:44:41.74
Now here's an
abbreviated version
00:44:41.78\00:44:44.08
of the Ten Commandments.
00:44:44.11\00:44:46.05
First four commandments,
00:44:46.08\00:44:48.22
"Thou shalt have no
other gods before Me."
00:44:48.25\00:44:51.29
Second Commandment,
00:44:51.32\00:44:52.65
"You're not to
make any graven images."
00:44:52.69\00:44:54.02
Now there's more to it
here. This is just a summary.
00:44:54.06\00:44:56.49
Third Commandment,
00:44:56.52\00:44:57.86
"You shall not take
the name of the Lord
00:44:57.89\00:44:59.23
you got in vain for the
Lord will not hold him guiltless
00:44:59.26\00:45:01.23
to take His name in vain."
00:45:01.26\00:45:02.76
Fourth Commandment,
00:45:02.80\00:45:04.13
"Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.
00:45:04.17\00:45:06.13
Sixth days you should
labor and do all your work,
00:45:06.17\00:45:07.57
but the seventh day
00:45:07.60\00:45:08.94
is a Sabbath of
the Lord your God."
00:45:08.97\00:45:11.21
Fifth Commandment,
00:45:11.24\00:45:12.57
now these are the
easy ones to remember.
00:45:12.61\00:45:14.54
"Honor your
father and your mother,
00:45:14.58\00:45:16.24
that your days may
be long upon the land
00:45:16.28\00:45:17.98
which the Lord
thy God gives you.
00:45:18.01\00:45:20.15
Thou shalt not kill. Thou
shalt not commit adultery.
00:45:20.18\00:45:24.02
Thou shalt not steal.
00:45:24.05\00:45:25.95
Thou shalt not
bear false witness
00:45:25.99\00:45:27.52
against your neighbor."
00:45:27.56\00:45:28.89
And then it says,
"Thou shalt not covet."
00:45:28.92\00:45:30.26
And it goes into the things
you're not supposed to covet.
00:45:30.29\00:45:32.66
So here you have the
summary of the Ten Commandments.
00:45:32.69\00:45:35.53
Why haven't you memorize that?
00:45:35.56\00:45:38.07
I bet some of you have memorized
00:45:38.10\00:45:39.57
comic books and TV programs.
00:45:39.60\00:45:41.94
Some of you have memorized
00:45:41.97\00:45:43.30
all the secret
codes on video games.
00:45:43.34\00:45:46.78
People memorize
all kinds of things.
00:45:46.81\00:45:48.61
You could do it,
you got good minds.
00:45:48.64\00:45:51.38
You should
memorize the law of God.
00:45:51.41\00:45:53.45
It'll keep you out
of all kinds of trouble.
00:45:53.48\00:45:56.92
So... I need one person here.
00:45:56.95\00:46:01.46
Okay.
00:46:01.49\00:46:03.39
Now I think, if
I'm not mistaken,
00:46:03.43\00:46:04.76
we had some twins,
00:46:04.79\00:46:06.13
your sister came up and
you didn't come up, right?
00:46:06.16\00:46:07.50
So you can come on.
Yeah, I'll let you come up.
00:46:07.53\00:46:09.16
I just need one
person here. Okay.
00:46:09.20\00:46:13.60
And what was your name? Eden.
00:46:13.64\00:46:15.24
Eden? Yeah. All right.
00:46:15.27\00:46:16.60
You want to stand right here.
00:46:16.64\00:46:18.31
Okay, now, you
got two arms, right?
00:46:18.34\00:46:21.18
Flex your muscle here
00:46:21.21\00:46:22.54
for a second
right here, two arms.
00:46:22.58\00:46:23.95
Flex my muscles. All right.
00:46:23.98\00:46:25.41
This would be like the
first four commandments,
00:46:25.45\00:46:29.25
really deal with love for God.
00:46:29.28\00:46:32.45
And then the
last six commandments,
00:46:32.49\00:46:33.82
unfortunately,
00:46:33.86\00:46:35.19
she's got five
fingers on this hand.
00:46:35.22\00:46:36.62
And the last six commandments
00:46:36.66\00:46:37.99
deal with love
for your fellowman.
00:46:38.03\00:46:41.43
You got two arms.
00:46:41.46\00:46:42.80
What are the two
great commandments?
00:46:42.83\00:46:44.70
Love the Lord
with all your heart.
00:46:44.73\00:46:47.20
You got love for God.
00:46:47.24\00:46:49.24
And love your
neighbor as yourself.
00:46:49.27\00:46:51.47
On those two arms,
you got Ten Commandments.
00:46:51.51\00:46:54.94
And in the
middle, you got one head,
00:46:54.98\00:46:57.58
I got a brain that tells
that 10 fingers what to do,
00:46:57.61\00:47:00.72
can you just
wiggle your fingers?
00:47:00.75\00:47:02.28
See how easy that is.
00:47:02.32\00:47:03.65
The brain is telling
the fingers what to do.
00:47:03.69\00:47:05.42
In the same way God is love.
00:47:05.45\00:47:08.42
And the love of God is expressed
00:47:08.46\00:47:09.99
in the first
commandments to God,
00:47:10.03\00:47:12.99
and the love for your fellowman
and the other commandments
00:47:13.03\00:47:15.36
to your fellowman.
00:47:15.40\00:47:16.73
Thank you very much.
Let's give her a hand.
00:47:16.77\00:47:19.07
You're so bashful.
00:47:19.10\00:47:23.87
Jesus said, Matthew 19:17,
00:47:23.91\00:47:27.24
"But if you would
enter into life," do what?
00:47:27.28\00:47:31.55
"Keep the Commandments."
00:47:31.58\00:47:32.91
Some people say,
"Well, it's not that important
00:47:32.95\00:47:35.78
to keep the Commandments.
00:47:35.82\00:47:37.15
Nobody can really
keep the Commandments."
00:47:37.19\00:47:39.35
Jesus said, "If you would
enter into life," do what?
00:47:39.39\00:47:42.59
No, I'm not talking
about being perfect,
00:47:42.62\00:47:45.26
because some people
think, oh, perfectionism,
00:47:45.29\00:47:47.36
I might feel like I'm
never gonna be perfect.
00:47:47.40\00:47:48.96
I tell you what,
friends, I used to smoke,
00:47:49.00\00:47:50.70
God help me quit
smoking, He can help you.
00:47:50.73\00:47:54.14
I used to steal, I don't steal.
00:47:54.17\00:47:56.17
I used to curse, I don't curse.
00:47:56.20\00:47:57.84
God can change your behavior.
00:47:57.87\00:48:00.18
I used to lie, I used
to do all kinds of things
00:48:00.21\00:48:03.24
and God has changed me
and given me a new heart.
00:48:03.28\00:48:06.21
So don't believe
someone who says, "Oh,
00:48:06.25\00:48:08.28
nobody can keep
the Commandments."
00:48:08.32\00:48:10.45
We can with God's
Spirit, how much is possible?
00:48:10.49\00:48:14.26
All things are possible.
00:48:14.29\00:48:15.66
The Bible says, "This is
how we show the love of God.
00:48:15.69\00:48:18.39
Hereby we know that we know Him,
00:48:18.43\00:48:21.63
if we keep His Commandments."
00:48:21.66\00:48:23.80
He goes on.
00:48:23.83\00:48:25.17
Notice what John
says here, 1 John 2:3-4,
00:48:25.20\00:48:28.30
"If anyone says I know Him
00:48:28.34\00:48:29.67
and he keeps not
His commandments,
00:48:29.70\00:48:32.11
his truth is not in Him."
00:48:32.14\00:48:34.21
Let me tell you an
interesting little story.
00:48:34.24\00:48:36.18
They've got these shrimp
that swim out in the ocean.
00:48:36.21\00:48:41.28
And because shrimp
get caught in the currents
00:48:41.32\00:48:43.39
and the waves they get
all whipped upside down
00:48:43.42\00:48:45.99
all different
directions and but the shrimp
00:48:46.02\00:48:48.52
always seem to know
which way is up even
00:48:48.56\00:48:51.39
when they're getting
spun around underwater.
00:48:51.43\00:48:53.09
They can quickly
right themselves,
00:48:53.13\00:48:54.83
they know which way
is up, do you know why?
00:48:54.86\00:48:57.97
Because a lot of these shrimp
00:48:58.00\00:48:59.63
have a little
crack in their heads,
00:48:59.67\00:49:02.20
and in that crack,
they pick up a piece of sand
00:49:02.24\00:49:05.81
with their little claws
00:49:05.84\00:49:07.18
and they push it
down in the crack
00:49:07.21\00:49:08.54
and that little piece of
sand to them it's a weight.
00:49:08.58\00:49:12.28
They call it a status stone.
00:49:12.31\00:49:15.05
It gives them equilibrium,
it gives them balance
00:49:15.08\00:49:18.05
and so even though the
waves are washing them all over,
00:49:18.09\00:49:20.16
as long as they've got
a status stone on them,
00:49:20.19\00:49:21.69
they know which end is up.
00:49:21.72\00:49:24.33
But someone did
a cool experiment.
00:49:24.36\00:49:29.93
They got a bunch of these shrimp
00:49:29.96\00:49:31.30
they put them in a big aquarium
and instead of having sand
00:49:31.33\00:49:34.87
in the bottom of the aquarium,
00:49:34.90\00:49:36.81
they put little
pieces of iron filings,
00:49:36.84\00:49:39.47
little sand was
all made of iron.
00:49:39.51\00:49:42.38
And so the shrimp
as they always do,
00:49:42.41\00:49:44.51
whenever they shed their skin,
they go get a new piece of sand
00:49:44.55\00:49:47.42
and they stick it in
the crack in their head.
00:49:47.45\00:49:49.82
But this time the sand was iron.
00:49:49.85\00:49:51.79
So they put the iron, now,
00:49:51.82\00:49:53.15
you know, something
about iron is magnetic.
00:49:53.19\00:49:55.96
So they put the
iron in their heads
00:49:55.99\00:49:57.86
and everything was fine.
00:49:57.89\00:49:59.23
But then the scientist took
a big long electromagnetic bar
00:49:59.26\00:50:04.67
and he put it above...
00:50:04.70\00:50:07.54
you see,
normally gravity's below,
00:50:07.57\00:50:09.00
but this time he put
it above the aquarium
00:50:09.04\00:50:11.94
and he flipped on the switch.
00:50:11.97\00:50:13.74
And you know what happened?
00:50:13.78\00:50:15.24
All those shrimp
they were swimming around
00:50:15.28\00:50:16.95
talking each other
having a good time,
00:50:16.98\00:50:18.31
all suddenly he
flipped that switch.
00:50:18.35\00:50:20.02
They went, and they all
started swimming upside down.
00:50:20.05\00:50:22.62
And they continue
to swim upside down.
00:50:25.65\00:50:27.22
Then the scientists got an idea.
00:50:27.26\00:50:28.69
He said, "I'm gonna
do a social experiment."
00:50:28.72\00:50:31.53
He took a shrimp
from another cage
00:50:31.56\00:50:33.33
that had a real
piece of sand in his head.
00:50:33.36\00:50:36.63
And he dropped him
down in the aquarium.
00:50:36.67\00:50:40.07
That shrimp dropped
down, and he looked around,
00:50:40.10\00:50:43.07
he thought, what in the
world is wrong with everybody?
00:50:43.10\00:50:46.57
They're all
swimming upside down.
00:50:46.61\00:50:49.74
And, you know,
00:50:49.78\00:50:51.11
what the other
shrimp were saying?
00:50:51.15\00:50:53.18
Who in the world is
this fellow think he is,
00:50:53.21\00:50:55.78
there's
something wrong with him.
00:50:55.82\00:50:57.49
He's swimming upside down.
00:50:57.52\00:50:59.89
Who was really
swimming upside down?
00:50:59.92\00:51:02.39
The shrimp with the
iron in their hands,
00:51:02.42\00:51:04.43
they did not have
the right status stone,
00:51:04.46\00:51:06.76
and so they
thought that he was crazy,
00:51:06.80\00:51:08.86
and in reality,
the majority was crazy.
00:51:08.90\00:51:12.50
When you look in the
world around you today,
00:51:12.53\00:51:15.17
there's a lot of
people they're acting
00:51:15.20\00:51:17.01
and doing a lot of crazy things.
00:51:17.04\00:51:18.37
You know why?
00:51:18.41\00:51:20.21
Because they don't have
the law of God in their heads.
00:51:20.24\00:51:24.05
If you have the law
of God in your head,
00:51:24.08\00:51:25.88
your friends might think,
00:51:25.91\00:51:27.25
oh, something's wrong with them.
00:51:27.28\00:51:28.65
They don't wanna use
drugs. They don't wanna curse.
00:51:28.68\00:51:31.15
They don't wanna steal.
00:51:31.19\00:51:32.72
They don't wanna, you
know, do some of the bad things,
00:51:32.75\00:51:36.46
or watch programs,
they shouldn't be watching.
00:51:36.49\00:51:39.39
And they think,
what's wrong with him?
00:51:39.43\00:51:41.33
You're not the one
swimming upside down.
00:51:41.36\00:51:44.57
The devil has tricked
00:51:44.60\00:51:45.93
a lot of young
people in the world
00:51:45.97\00:51:47.30
and they're all
thinking that the way to act
00:51:47.34\00:51:49.04
is to act crazy and
to swim upside down.
00:51:49.07\00:51:50.97
But God says, "If you
have My law in your heart,
00:51:51.01\00:51:53.34
you'll know what
right side up is,
00:51:53.38\00:51:55.38
you'll know what the truth is."
00:51:55.41\00:51:57.15
So number eight, how can I keep
00:51:57.18\00:52:01.75
the Ten Commandments?
00:52:01.78\00:52:03.28
Matthew 19:26, what did we read?
00:52:03.32\00:52:07.86
"With God," how much?
"All things are possible."
00:52:07.89\00:52:12.53
And it's so important
that we understand this
00:52:12.56\00:52:14.20
because what is
the penalty for sin?
00:52:14.23\00:52:16.43
Death.
00:52:16.46\00:52:17.80
"The wages for sin is
death, but the gift of God,"
00:52:17.83\00:52:22.54
what's the rest of that?
00:52:22.57\00:52:24.21
"Is eternal life."
00:52:24.24\00:52:26.71
Bible tells us, you'll
hear a voice behind you saying,
00:52:26.74\00:52:29.08
"This is the way walk in it.
00:52:29.11\00:52:30.95
The word becomes a guide
00:52:30.98\00:52:32.31
that helps you in
all of your life."
00:52:32.35\00:52:34.98
John 5:3, "This
is the love of God,
00:52:35.02\00:52:39.25
that we keep His Commandments.
00:52:39.29\00:52:41.86
Therefore love is the
fulfilling of the law."
00:52:41.89\00:52:46.66
The law of God is all
about the Word of God.
00:52:46.70\00:52:49.73
Jesus is called the Word.
The law was written on rock.
00:52:49.76\00:52:53.54
Jesus is the Rock of Ages.
00:52:53.57\00:52:55.97
It was a stone that
David used to kill Goliath.
00:52:56.00\00:52:59.74
It's the Word of God,
00:52:59.77\00:53:01.24
the law of God
brings down the enemy.
00:53:01.28\00:53:03.65
It's something to be loved.
00:53:03.68\00:53:05.21
Jesus said, "You
should love the Lord
00:53:05.25\00:53:06.72
with all of your heart,
00:53:06.75\00:53:08.08
with all of your
soul, with all of your mind.
00:53:08.12\00:53:10.65
This is the first and
the great commandment.
00:53:10.69\00:53:13.02
And the second is like it,
00:53:13.05\00:53:14.39
you should love your
neighbor as yourself."
00:53:14.42\00:53:17.33
Now we're not saved by keeping
the law, how are we saved?
00:53:17.36\00:53:21.26
We are saved by
the grace of God,
00:53:21.30\00:53:23.47
but the grace of God
gives us power to obey.
00:53:23.50\00:53:26.60
It was the grace of God
00:53:26.63\00:53:27.97
that helped me to stop drinking.
00:53:28.00\00:53:29.94
Grace of God
helped me stop using drugs
00:53:29.97\00:53:31.84
and it helped me
stop smoking and stealing.
00:53:31.87\00:53:34.31
And God's grace can
help you be a new creature
00:53:34.34\00:53:37.18
and to walk with the Lord.
00:53:37.21\00:53:39.58
"It's not of works,
it is a gift of God,
00:53:39.61\00:53:42.12
lest any man should boast."
00:53:42.15\00:53:45.05
Now years ago, there is a family
00:53:45.09\00:53:47.59
that was traveling
across the plains in Kansas,
00:53:47.62\00:53:52.69
there's a wagon
train or hundreds of people
00:53:52.73\00:53:55.73
on the wagon train.
00:53:55.76\00:53:57.10
There's nothing but
grass for miles and miles,
00:53:57.13\00:53:59.13
this is back in the
days of the buffalo.
00:53:59.17\00:54:02.14
And the wagon master saw
smoke on horizon and people...
00:54:02.17\00:54:05.57
First they thought it
was dust and he said, "No,"
00:54:05.61\00:54:07.84
it was a thing that
they were the most afraid of
00:54:07.88\00:54:10.28
when they were
traveling the prairie.
00:54:10.31\00:54:12.48
It was lightning had
struck and it was a grass fire.
00:54:12.51\00:54:16.62
And the wind
was blowing the fire
00:54:16.65\00:54:19.35
right towards the
wagon train much faster than
00:54:19.39\00:54:22.42
they could ever outrun it.
00:54:22.46\00:54:23.79
They were miles and
miles from the river.
00:54:23.83\00:54:27.20
So you know what
the wagon master did?
00:54:27.23\00:54:29.56
He said, "Come with me."
00:54:29.60\00:54:31.60
They rode away from the
fire, but they could see
00:54:31.63\00:54:33.74
it was catching up
with them, he said,
00:54:33.77\00:54:35.10
"Gathered together in a circle."
00:54:35.14\00:54:36.47
They all gathered.
00:54:36.50\00:54:37.84
He took out a
flint and made some fire
00:54:37.87\00:54:40.78
and he started a
fire on the other side
00:54:40.81\00:54:43.38
of the wagon train.
00:54:43.41\00:54:44.75
No, what are you
doing? We're gonna die.
00:54:44.78\00:54:46.11
We'll be
surrounded. He said trust me.
00:54:46.15\00:54:48.22
He started a fire
on the other side,
00:54:48.25\00:54:50.69
the fire then began,
the wind continue to blow
00:54:50.72\00:54:52.65
that fire away from them.
00:54:52.69\00:54:55.22
And grass
doesn't burn very long,
00:54:55.26\00:54:56.89
just five minutes and
it's down turns to ash.
00:54:56.93\00:55:01.43
And then just before the
fire got to them, he says,
00:55:01.46\00:55:03.67
"Now let's move on the
place that is already burnt.
00:55:03.70\00:55:07.17
And as they move the wagon train
00:55:07.20\00:55:08.80
over on to this place
00:55:08.84\00:55:10.17
where the grass
is already burnt,
00:55:10.21\00:55:11.54
one little boy said,
00:55:11.57\00:55:12.91
"Mommy, Daddy, are
we gonna burn to death?"
00:55:12.94\00:55:15.41
And they said, "No, son,
you don't need to worry now,
00:55:15.44\00:55:18.48
we are standing where
the fire already burned."
00:55:18.51\00:55:22.58
What is the penalty for sin?
00:55:22.62\00:55:24.72
Death. Death.
00:55:24.75\00:55:26.09
How many of us have sinned? All.
00:55:26.12\00:55:29.09
All of us have
sinned. Why aren't we dead?
00:55:29.12\00:55:34.30
Because Jesus took the penalty,
00:55:34.33\00:55:38.23
Jesus suffered for
your sins and mines.
00:55:38.27\00:55:40.24
Everything
you've ever done wrong,
00:55:40.27\00:55:41.77
when they put the
nails in His hands,
00:55:41.80\00:55:44.31
when they whipped
Him, when they spit on Him.
00:55:44.34\00:55:47.18
He was taking the punishment
00:55:47.21\00:55:49.41
and the shame
for all of the sins
00:55:49.44\00:55:51.78
of all the world
because He loves us.
00:55:51.81\00:55:53.85
So when we come to
Christ, and we say, "Jesus,
00:55:53.88\00:55:55.95
please forgive me."
00:55:55.98\00:55:57.32
We are standing where
the fire already burned.
00:55:57.35\00:56:00.69
The law will not judge us
00:56:00.72\00:56:02.69
if we are now
standing with Christ
00:56:02.72\00:56:05.33
because the wrath of
God, the penalty for sin,
00:56:05.36\00:56:07.90
the judgment fell
upon Him for our sins.
00:56:07.93\00:56:11.00
So here's the
important question.
00:56:11.03\00:56:14.04
Do you want to be like Jesus?
00:56:14.07\00:56:18.27
How many of you
want to be like Jesus?
00:56:18.31\00:56:19.87
Amen.
00:56:19.91\00:56:21.58
Bible promises,
"Blessed are those
00:56:21.61\00:56:24.68
who do His Commandments,
00:56:24.71\00:56:26.41
that they might have a
right to the tree of life,
00:56:26.45\00:56:28.38
and enter through
the gates of the city."
00:56:28.42\00:56:30.32
And, of course, I
wanna close with this verse.
00:56:30.35\00:56:32.45
"If you love me,
keep My Commandments."
00:56:32.49\00:56:35.46
He loves you so much.
00:56:35.49\00:56:36.83
Do you think you
would want to love Him back?
00:56:36.86\00:56:38.49
You choose to love Him.
00:56:38.53\00:56:40.03
It's not a warm
pink feeling inside.
00:56:40.06\00:56:42.76
You make up your
mind and say, "Jesus,
00:56:42.80\00:56:44.33
I believe You died for my sins.
00:56:44.37\00:56:46.00
If You are the only one
in the world who ever lived,
00:56:46.03\00:56:48.94
He died for your sins,
00:56:48.97\00:56:50.91
and because He
died for your sins,
00:56:50.94\00:56:53.51
then you can have eternal life,
00:56:53.54\00:56:54.94
but you need to pray
and ask Him to be your.
00:56:54.98\00:56:56.81
You know, the
most important decision
00:57:29.98\00:57:31.51
a young person can make
00:57:31.55\00:57:32.88
is that decision to follow Jesus
00:57:32.91\00:57:34.98
and begin that
amazing adventure to eternity.
00:57:35.02\00:57:37.89
