Hi, kids, you wanna
hear an amazing fact?
00:00:11.51\00:00:14.01
You know God made
the world in six days
00:00:14.04\00:00:16.21
and He rested the seventh.
00:00:16.24\00:00:17.65
Naturalists have
observed several times in nature
00:00:17.68\00:00:20.52
where it seems like
animals even take a day-off.
00:00:20.55\00:00:23.89
For example, you
have Miles Wheeler.
00:00:23.92\00:00:26.05
He's an ornithologist
and avid birdwatcher,
00:00:26.09\00:00:28.72
and an award
winning nature photographer.
00:00:28.76\00:00:31.29
For over 18 years, he observed
the birds that were migrating
00:00:31.33\00:00:34.80
in a cedar tree
outside his home in Michigan.
00:00:34.83\00:00:37.97
And he tracked meticulously
00:00:38.00\00:00:39.90
how many birds were migrating.
00:00:39.93\00:00:42.00
After tracking the activity
00:00:42.04\00:00:43.91
of over 1,500
warblers for 18 years,
00:00:43.94\00:00:47.54
he was surprised to notice
that there were very few birds
00:00:47.58\00:00:50.68
that were
migrating every seventh day.
00:00:50.71\00:00:53.11
It seemed like the birds knew
they should take a day of rest.
00:00:53.15\00:00:56.18
This might sound unusual,
00:00:56.22\00:00:57.85
but then you've got Lauren Cole,
00:00:57.89\00:00:59.59
who's the
speaker/director of Desire Media
00:00:59.62\00:01:01.96
lives in Lakeview, Oregon.
00:01:01.99\00:01:03.59
He studied a family
of beavers for 16 years.
00:01:03.63\00:01:07.03
And he was shocked to learn
00:01:07.06\00:01:08.43
that while they were
busy six days a week,
00:01:08.46\00:01:10.77
they never worked on Saturday.
00:01:10.80\00:01:13.54
You know, the Bible
says in the Book of Job,
00:01:13.57\00:01:15.47
that the animals seem to
know who their Creator is
00:01:15.50\00:01:17.81
and listen to the voice of God.
00:01:17.84\00:01:19.57
Makes you wonder if maybe
00:01:19.61\00:01:20.94
the animals know
something about resting
00:01:20.98\00:01:22.91
that people are forgetting.
00:01:22.94\00:01:24.28
We're gonna
learn about it today.
00:01:24.31\00:01:25.65
So let's get on board and take
an amazing adventure together.
00:01:25.68\00:01:28.65
Good evening,
everyone, and welcome once again
00:01:46.77\00:01:48.80
to Amazing Adventure, A
Journey for Life with Jesus.
00:01:48.84\00:01:52.31
I'd like to welcome
all of the boys and girls
00:01:52.34\00:01:54.01
right here in Michigan,
00:01:54.04\00:01:55.38
and also those of
you who are joining us
00:01:55.41\00:01:56.81
across the country
and around the world,
00:01:56.85\00:01:58.55
part of our
extended Adventure team
00:01:58.58\00:02:01.05
looking at some very important
discoveries in the Bible.
00:02:01.08\00:02:04.69
And tonight we have a
very important presentation.
00:02:04.72\00:02:07.82
Now before we get to our study,
00:02:07.86\00:02:09.19
we have a theme song
that we'd like to sing.
00:02:09.22\00:02:11.49
And I think a number
of you probably by now
00:02:11.53\00:02:14.36
could sing the song
without even seeing the words.
00:02:14.40\00:02:16.90
How many think they could sing
it without seeing the words?
00:02:16.93\00:02:19.47
All right, look
at all those hands.
00:02:19.50\00:02:20.97
It's got a catchy tune
00:02:21.00\00:02:22.50
and it's called
"Life is an Adventure."
00:02:22.54\00:02:24.51
But before we
gonna sing our song,
00:02:24.54\00:02:26.44
we wanna invite Pastor Doug
00:02:26.47\00:02:28.04
to come up and
join me here on stage.
00:02:28.08\00:02:30.25
And what are we gonna say
00:02:30.28\00:02:31.61
when Pastor Doug rings the bell?
00:02:31.65\00:02:33.28
Are you ready?
00:02:33.31\00:02:34.65
There you go. Here it is.
00:02:34.68\00:02:36.38
Good evening, Pastor.
00:02:36.42\00:02:39.72
All right.
00:02:39.75\00:02:41.42
We're gonna invite our
song leaders to come up.
00:02:41.46\00:02:43.46
Why don't we stand kids
and we'll sing our theme song
00:02:43.49\00:02:46.06
"Life is an Adventure."
00:02:46.09\00:02:47.43
Life is an
adventure Following the King
00:02:55.40\00:03:00.18
Every day with Jesus
Makes us want to sing
00:03:00.21\00:03:05.28
Walking in the
spirit He will lead the way
00:03:05.31\00:03:10.45
With his words to guide
us Glowing deep inside us
00:03:10.49\00:03:15.62
Nothing can divide
us Following the King
00:03:15.66\00:03:21.86
Life is an
adventure Following the King
00:03:21.90\00:03:27.04
Every day with Jesus
Makes us want to sing
00:03:27.07\00:03:32.14
Conquering with
kindness Everywhere we go
00:03:32.17\00:03:37.31
Voices we are raising
00:03:37.35\00:03:39.91
Jesus we are praising
00:03:39.95\00:03:42.58
Life is so
amazing Following the King
00:03:42.62\00:03:49.06
Life is so amazing
00:03:49.09\00:03:51.79
Following the King
00:03:51.83\00:03:57.07
Amen. Thank you, boys and girls.
00:03:57.10\00:03:58.43
You may be seated.
00:03:58.47\00:03:59.80
And thank you to our Amazing
Adventure singers up front.
00:03:59.83\00:04:03.61
Thank you. We're excited.
00:04:03.64\00:04:05.51
We've got some
exciting things to do tonight.
00:04:05.54\00:04:08.48
And we're gonna
get to some questions,
00:04:08.51\00:04:10.71
I think, Pastor Ross
that have come in from kids
00:04:10.75\00:04:12.88
all over the
country and even the world.
00:04:12.91\00:04:14.45
Yes, we got some great
questions for this evening.
00:04:14.48\00:04:16.62
So we're gonna take a look at
00:04:16.65\00:04:17.99
our first video
question for tonight.
00:04:18.02\00:04:20.66
Hi, my name is Amy.
00:04:20.69\00:04:22.72
And I'm nine years old.
00:04:22.76\00:04:24.49
And I'm from London, Ontario.
00:04:24.53\00:04:26.39
And my question is,
00:04:26.43\00:04:27.76
was the seventh-day
Sabbath kept through all ages?
00:04:27.80\00:04:31.73
Good question that she had.
00:04:31.77\00:04:33.60
Will the seventh-day Sabbath
00:04:33.64\00:04:35.44
be kept throughout all ages,
00:04:35.47\00:04:37.14
meaning even in eternity?
00:04:37.17\00:04:39.54
You know, we're touching on that
00:04:39.57\00:04:41.21
in our study tonight.
00:04:41.24\00:04:43.14
But let's think about
that for just a moment.
00:04:43.18\00:04:44.85
When God made the Sabbath,
00:04:44.88\00:04:46.85
was it before sin or after sin?
00:04:46.88\00:04:50.85
Before sin. Before sin.
00:04:50.89\00:04:52.22
Was it part of God's
perfect plan then for the world?
00:04:52.25\00:04:56.26
And then it tells us
in the Book of Isaiah,
00:04:56.29\00:04:58.39
that even in heaven, from 1,
00:04:58.43\00:05:00.63
it talks about,
"'For as the new heavens
00:05:00.66\00:05:02.53
and the new
earth that I will make
00:05:02.56\00:05:04.27
will remain before
Me,' says the Lord."
00:05:04.30\00:05:06.47
Talking about the
new heavens, new earth,
00:05:06.50\00:05:08.10
"Even so your seed
and your name will remain.
00:05:08.14\00:05:10.97
And it will come to pass
it from one Sabbath to another
00:05:11.01\00:05:13.64
shall all flesh
worship before Me."
00:05:13.68\00:05:16.31
All flesh. That's everybody.
00:05:16.34\00:05:19.08
Does the Bible say the
Sabbath was made for Jews?
00:05:19.11\00:05:22.28
Or does it say
Sabbath was made for man,
00:05:22.32\00:05:24.15
meaning mankind for everybody?
00:05:24.19\00:05:27.12
Okay, our next question
that we have this evening.
00:05:27.16\00:05:30.13
Hi, my name is Les.
00:05:30.16\00:05:31.49
And I'm 11 years old.
And I live in North Georgia.
00:05:31.53\00:05:34.20
And my question is,
00:05:34.23\00:05:35.76
if Jesus sanctified Sabbath
as the holy day as it says,
00:05:35.80\00:05:39.80
in Exodus 20,
00:05:39.83\00:05:41.44
then why do so many
people worship on Sunday?
00:05:41.47\00:05:43.87
Boy, that's a good question.
00:05:43.91\00:05:45.64
I mean, if the Sabbath is
the seventh-day of the week,
00:05:45.67\00:05:48.44
Saturday, why Pastor
Doug, does it seem that
00:05:48.48\00:05:50.55
there's so many
Christians around the world
00:05:50.58\00:05:52.61
that worship on the
first day of the week, Sunday?
00:05:52.65\00:05:55.15
Yeah, now we didn't tell these
kids what questions to ask.
00:05:55.18\00:05:57.62
They freely chose
their own questions.
00:05:57.65\00:05:59.89
It is true that tonight
00:05:59.92\00:06:01.26
we're actually
talking about that subject.
00:06:01.29\00:06:03.73
First of all,
00:06:03.76\00:06:05.09
just because a lot
of people do something,
00:06:05.13\00:06:08.86
doesn't mean it's right.
00:06:08.90\00:06:11.00
You know, when Jesus
was teaching, and preaching,
00:06:11.03\00:06:13.17
and doing miracles,
00:06:13.20\00:06:14.77
several people thought,
00:06:14.80\00:06:16.40
"This must be the Messiah!"
00:06:16.44\00:06:18.51
And some of the
religious leader said,
00:06:18.54\00:06:20.68
"Well, if He was the Messiah,
00:06:20.71\00:06:22.88
then the other
religious leaders and scribes
00:06:22.91\00:06:24.75
would also believe in Him.
00:06:24.78\00:06:26.11
Most of them
don't believe in Him."
00:06:26.15\00:06:28.18
But sometimes the
majority is wrong.
00:06:28.22\00:06:31.22
In fact, Moses said, "Do
not follow a crowd to do evil."
00:06:31.25\00:06:35.66
Sometimes a crowd
00:06:35.69\00:06:37.83
is not the
right group to follow.
00:06:37.86\00:06:39.79
You wanna find out what
does the Word of God say?
00:06:39.83\00:06:42.36
And so we're gonna
talk in our lesson tonight
00:06:42.40\00:06:44.60
about what happened
00:06:44.63\00:06:45.97
and how people started
changing their practices,
00:06:46.00\00:06:49.10
how Christians started
changing things over history.
00:06:49.14\00:06:51.87
Okay. And the next
question that we have.
00:06:51.91\00:06:53.98
Hi, Pastor Doug.
00:06:54.01\00:06:55.34
My name is Brian.
00:06:55.38\00:06:56.71
I live in Vijayawada, India.
00:06:56.75\00:07:00.12
My question is,
why God not allowed
00:07:00.15\00:07:03.69
Moses to enter into
the Promised Land, Canaan?
00:07:03.72\00:07:07.22
Thank you.
00:07:07.26\00:07:08.59
All right, so question
all the way from India.
00:07:08.62\00:07:10.99
And the question
is, why didn't God allow
00:07:11.03\00:07:12.56
Moses to enter into Canaan?
00:07:12.59\00:07:14.83
Now you were in that part
of India not too long ago.
00:07:14.86\00:07:16.53
It gets pretty warm, doesn't it?
00:07:16.56\00:07:17.90
It's pretty warm,
this time of the year,
00:07:17.93\00:07:19.27
especially in India, it's hot.
00:07:19.30\00:07:20.64
So, you know what that's like.
00:07:20.67\00:07:22.14
You know, Moses
great desire was that
00:07:22.17\00:07:24.87
he could actually be the one
00:07:24.91\00:07:26.24
to lead the children of
Israel into the Promised Land.
00:07:26.27\00:07:29.04
He had led them for 40
years through the wilderness.
00:07:29.08\00:07:32.31
But near the end
of their wanderings,
00:07:32.35\00:07:34.15
there was a trial, a test,
00:07:34.18\00:07:36.58
where they ran
out of water again.
00:07:36.62\00:07:39.32
And God told Moses to
gather the people together
00:07:39.35\00:07:41.82
and to speak to the rock,
00:07:41.86\00:07:43.99
and that water would come out.
00:07:44.03\00:07:45.56
Well, Moses and
Aaron were so frustrated
00:07:45.59\00:07:47.86
with the people's lack of faith.
00:07:47.90\00:07:50.70
Then Moses lost his
temper, and he took his rod
00:07:50.73\00:07:53.77
and he struck the rock twice.
00:07:53.80\00:07:56.10
And he said, "Must we
fetch water from the rock
00:07:56.14\00:07:58.81
for you rebels?"
00:07:58.84\00:08:00.58
And Moses lost his temper.
00:08:00.61\00:08:02.74
And God said, you know, Moses,
I didn't tell you to do that.
00:08:02.78\00:08:05.28
You disobeyed in front
of everybody what I told.
00:08:05.31\00:08:08.22
And I'm still gonna let
you see the Promised Land
00:08:08.25\00:08:10.82
from a distance.
00:08:10.85\00:08:12.19
And you will be in heaven...
00:08:12.22\00:08:14.12
Matter of fact,
00:08:14.16\00:08:15.96
is Moses in heaven now?
00:08:15.99\00:08:17.39
Yes.
00:08:17.43\00:08:18.76
He is.
00:08:18.79\00:08:20.13
We read that, you know,
00:08:20.16\00:08:21.50
Bible tells us
in Mark Chapter 9,
00:08:21.53\00:08:23.60
Moses and Elijah
appeared to Jesus.
00:08:23.63\00:08:25.53
So Moses got to go to heaven.
00:08:25.57\00:08:27.30
He watched the
people cross over,
00:08:27.34\00:08:29.00
but he personally
could not lead them in
00:08:29.04\00:08:31.27
because he had disobeyed.
00:08:31.31\00:08:32.64
He lost his temper, and
God needed to set an example
00:08:32.67\00:08:35.54
that we need to be
faithful for our leaders.
00:08:35.58\00:08:37.45
That might be it for tonight.
00:08:37.48\00:08:38.81
That might be all the questions.
00:08:38.85\00:08:40.25
So a number of
questions on the Sabbath,
00:08:40.28\00:08:41.62
and I think
you're gonna be talking
00:08:41.65\00:08:42.98
more about that
this evening, so.
00:08:43.02\00:08:44.35
We are.
00:08:44.39\00:08:45.72
Thank you very
much, Pastor Ross.
00:08:45.75\00:08:47.09
All right,
friends, are you ready?
00:08:47.12\00:08:49.12
Tonight we're
gonna be talking about
00:08:49.16\00:08:51.06
a very important subject.
00:08:51.09\00:08:53.33
And I'll tell you
why it's important.
00:08:53.36\00:08:56.00
Your life is made of time.
00:08:56.03\00:09:00.77
Benjamin Franklin,
you all know who he is?
00:09:00.80\00:09:03.77
He's one of the only
people who was not a president.
00:09:03.81\00:09:06.88
And I think there's two of them.
00:09:06.91\00:09:08.24
Alexander
Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin,
00:09:08.28\00:09:10.25
whose picture is on our money.
00:09:10.28\00:09:13.21
And Benjamin Franklin, he said,
00:09:13.25\00:09:16.79
"Time is the stuff
that life is made of.
00:09:16.82\00:09:21.46
You have so many
breaths and so many heartbeats."
00:09:21.49\00:09:25.69
You know, it's sort
of a rule of life that
00:09:25.73\00:09:27.96
the faster your heartbeats,
the shorter your life.
00:09:28.00\00:09:31.03
I used to have pet mice.
00:09:31.07\00:09:32.57
I'd hold the mice in my hand,
00:09:32.60\00:09:33.94
I could feel their
little hearts going.
00:09:33.97\00:09:37.34
And once I caught a hummingbird,
00:09:37.37\00:09:39.47
it got stuck in my garage
00:09:39.51\00:09:40.84
and kept trying
to go out the window
00:09:40.88\00:09:42.21
and I was able to catch him
alive, cute little hummingbird.
00:09:42.24\00:09:44.98
And I felt his little
heart beating in my hand.
00:09:45.01\00:09:47.35
You know, they're hummingbirds,
00:09:47.38\00:09:48.72
just their hearts' just raised
00:09:48.75\00:09:50.45
because they eat
sugar all the time.
00:09:50.49\00:09:51.85
So they're just...
00:09:51.89\00:09:53.96
And I can feel a little heart.
00:09:53.99\00:09:57.89
But an elephant,
his heart goes...
00:09:57.93\00:09:59.49
And they live like 80 years.
00:10:03.77\00:10:05.93
And a blue whale can
live longer than an elephant
00:10:05.97\00:10:08.20
and its heart goes...
00:10:08.24\00:10:09.57
That's even too fast.
00:10:13.11\00:10:15.18
So we've only got
so many heartbeats.
00:10:15.21\00:10:17.35
What you do with
your time every day
00:10:17.38\00:10:19.31
is what you're
doing with your life.
00:10:19.35\00:10:21.62
If you're useful with your
time, you have a useful life.
00:10:21.65\00:10:23.79
If you waste your
time, you waste your life.
00:10:23.82\00:10:26.12
If you're gonna love somebody,
00:10:26.15\00:10:28.06
you do it in time.
00:10:28.09\00:10:30.89
Time is the
stuff life is made of.
00:10:30.93\00:10:32.59
Our lesson today talking
about "A Day with the King."
00:10:32.63\00:10:35.20
Wouldn't it be
exciting if you can have a day
00:10:35.23\00:10:37.40
with the King of the universe?
00:10:37.43\00:10:39.80
You know, the Bible tells us
00:10:39.83\00:10:41.17
that there was a Queen of Sheba.
00:10:41.20\00:10:43.54
She had heard
about King Solomon.
00:10:43.57\00:10:45.91
King Solomon was
the most glorious,
00:10:45.94\00:10:48.01
earthly king of Israel.
00:10:48.04\00:10:50.65
When Solomon was king,
00:10:50.68\00:10:52.11
his robes were so beautiful
00:10:52.15\00:10:53.48
that even Jesus referred to
00:10:53.52\00:10:54.85
the beautiful
clothing of Solomon.
00:10:54.88\00:10:57.09
And the Bible talks about
00:10:57.12\00:10:58.69
the kingdom was so rich
during the time of Solomon,
00:10:58.72\00:11:01.39
that even silver was
considered like stones,
00:11:01.42\00:11:05.29
because they had so much gold.
00:11:05.33\00:11:08.46
And Queen of Sheba heard
about the wisdom of Solomon,
00:11:08.50\00:11:10.83
and she came from
hundreds of miles away,
00:11:10.87\00:11:13.57
and brought a caravan
with lots of gifts and money.
00:11:13.60\00:11:16.00
So she could
spend time with Solomon
00:11:16.04\00:11:18.11
to learn about
him and his wisdom
00:11:18.14\00:11:20.91
because she wanted
to be a good queen.
00:11:20.94\00:11:22.48
She knew that would happen
by spending time with him.
00:11:22.51\00:11:25.58
If you had an invitation
00:11:25.61\00:11:26.95
to spend time
with a king or queen,
00:11:26.98\00:11:28.35
would you wanna do that?
00:11:28.38\00:11:31.05
Earlier this year,
00:11:31.09\00:11:32.75
Karen and I were
invited to the White House.
00:11:32.79\00:11:35.96
But the president wasn't there.
00:11:35.99\00:11:37.86
We kind of
thought it would be nice.
00:11:37.89\00:11:39.23
We met with some of his staff
to talk about religious liberty
00:11:39.26\00:11:41.76
and it was fun to
be in the White House.
00:11:41.80\00:11:43.13
Actually, we've been
there a couple times.
00:11:43.16\00:11:45.13
But it really be nice to
spend the day with a president
00:11:45.17\00:11:49.24
or with a queen.
00:11:49.27\00:11:50.61
You know, for her 80th birthday,
00:11:50.64\00:11:52.81
Queen Elizabeth II
wanna do something special
00:11:52.84\00:11:55.91
for the children in England.
00:11:55.94\00:11:58.31
And so she
invited, she had a lottery,
00:11:58.35\00:12:00.08
she invited 2000
children to join her
00:12:00.12\00:12:02.62
in Buckingham Palace.
00:12:02.65\00:12:04.02
They could pick one
parent or grandparent
00:12:04.05\00:12:05.65
to bring with them,
00:12:05.69\00:12:07.02
and that she had a day
of tea with the children
00:12:07.06\00:12:10.13
of the kingdom.
00:12:10.16\00:12:11.49
And they got to hang out
with the Queen for a day.
00:12:11.53\00:12:13.96
Wouldn't that be exciting?
00:12:14.00\00:12:16.53
Well, you get to spend a day
00:12:16.56\00:12:19.23
with the King of
the universe every week,
00:12:19.27\00:12:24.71
in a special way,
00:12:24.74\00:12:26.51
did you know that?
00:12:26.54\00:12:28.11
The Bible talks about that.
00:12:28.14\00:12:29.88
We're gonna get
into our lesson now.
00:12:29.91\00:12:31.25
First question,
00:12:31.28\00:12:32.68
what day does Jesus,
the King of the universe
00:12:32.71\00:12:35.18
want to spend with
me in a special way?
00:12:35.22\00:12:38.12
Now Jesus said,
I'm with you always.
00:12:38.15\00:12:40.56
Christ's presence
is always with you,
00:12:40.59\00:12:42.06
but we're busy doing
our work and our things.
00:12:42.09\00:12:44.26
He said, "I want a day
that's like a special date
00:12:44.29\00:12:47.96
with you and me."
00:12:48.00\00:12:49.86
What is that day?
00:12:49.90\00:12:51.23
Exodus 20:8-11,
00:12:51.27\00:12:53.27
"Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
00:12:53.30\00:12:56.50
The Lord blessed the Sabbath day
00:12:56.54\00:12:58.97
and hallowed it."
00:12:59.01\00:13:00.34
The Lord has this day,
it's called the Sabbath.
00:13:00.38\00:13:03.04
The word Sabbath means a rest.
00:13:03.08\00:13:06.61
And it's a special day
of quality time with God.
00:13:06.65\00:13:11.59
And the Bible says
it's to be a happy day.
00:13:11.62\00:13:14.56
Isaiah 58:13, "Call
the Sabbath a delight."
00:13:14.59\00:13:17.49
It's a delightful
day with the King.
00:13:17.53\00:13:20.06
Now, why else do
we need the Sabbath?
00:13:20.10\00:13:23.06
People sometimes get tired.
00:13:23.10\00:13:25.23
Any of you ever
stay up too late,
00:13:25.27\00:13:26.63
and then at school the next day,
00:13:26.67\00:13:28.40
you're a little sleepy.
00:13:28.44\00:13:31.01
I used to fall asleep in class,
00:13:31.04\00:13:33.24
and I didn't want
my teacher to catch me.
00:13:33.27\00:13:34.84
I had one teacher when
I went to military school,
00:13:34.88\00:13:36.98
if he saw me sleeping in class,
00:13:37.01\00:13:38.81
he kept a can
on top of his desk.
00:13:38.85\00:13:40.92
Now they wouldn't
allow this anymore,
00:13:40.95\00:13:42.42
but back when I was young,
00:13:42.45\00:13:43.79
teachers could even spank you.
00:13:43.82\00:13:45.75
But he kept a can on his desk,
00:13:45.79\00:13:47.46
and inside the can
were nuts and bolts,
00:13:47.49\00:13:49.29
just a bunch of nuts and bolts.
00:13:49.32\00:13:51.59
And if he saw students sleeping,
00:13:51.63\00:13:53.60
this is military school.
00:13:53.63\00:13:54.96
They're pretty tough.
00:13:55.00\00:13:56.33
He would throw the can at you.
00:13:56.36\00:13:59.77
And that only
happened once or twice
00:13:59.80\00:14:01.50
and you never went
to sleep in his class.
00:14:01.54\00:14:04.31
So I learned to sleep
00:14:04.34\00:14:05.84
looking like I
was reading the book.
00:14:05.87\00:14:07.38
I'd have a book and my
head down like that, like...
00:14:07.41\00:14:12.51
'Cause I'd stay up
too late the night before.
00:14:12.55\00:14:15.68
People need rest.
00:14:15.72\00:14:17.62
And God has a
day of rest for us.
00:14:17.65\00:14:20.09
Do you have chores you
have to do around your house?
00:14:20.12\00:14:22.12
Yes.
00:14:22.16\00:14:23.49
Do you know it's
dangerous sometimes
00:14:23.53\00:14:24.86
to do your chores
if you get too sleepy?
00:14:24.89\00:14:27.36
You could mow your toes in
the lawnmower or something.
00:14:27.40\00:14:31.47
Everybody needs
appropriate rest.
00:14:31.50\00:14:33.27
Do you know,
00:14:33.30\00:14:34.67
I think five of the
major reasons that people die
00:14:34.70\00:14:39.07
are connected with
something called stress?
00:14:39.11\00:14:42.84
Stress means people get
too worried and too anxious,
00:14:42.88\00:14:46.08
and too worn out, and too tired,
00:14:46.11\00:14:48.08
and it shortens their lives.
00:14:48.12\00:14:51.02
Cancer, and heart
disease, and diabetes,
00:14:51.05\00:14:54.16
and all kinds of problems,
00:14:54.19\00:14:55.86
high blood pressure
all connected with stress.
00:14:55.89\00:14:58.59
God knows that we
need a day of rest.
00:14:58.63\00:15:01.60
You know, the people
who run the military,
00:15:01.63\00:15:04.20
they thought we
wanna work those soldiers.
00:15:04.23\00:15:05.87
We wanna see what's the best
work schedule for the soldiers.
00:15:05.90\00:15:08.87
And the military
did an experiment.
00:15:08.90\00:15:11.04
And they said, "Let's see
if we can get soldiers to rest
00:15:11.07\00:15:13.27
1 day every 12 days
or 1 day every 10 days."
00:15:13.31\00:15:16.54
And they didn't do very well.
00:15:16.58\00:15:18.21
They experimented with
all these different cycles,
00:15:18.25\00:15:20.98
they finally realize
00:15:21.02\00:15:22.58
the very best rest work schedule
00:15:22.62\00:15:25.15
for men and women
00:15:25.19\00:15:28.19
is one day every seven.
00:15:28.22\00:15:31.03
Well, that's how God
designed us in the beginning.
00:15:31.06\00:15:34.56
Which day is the Sabbath day?
00:15:34.60\00:15:38.30
The Bible tells us,
00:15:38.33\00:15:40.10
"The seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord your God."
00:15:40.14\00:15:44.31
All right, I'm gonna
need a couple of volunteers
00:15:44.34\00:15:46.88
to come up here and help me.
00:15:46.91\00:15:48.58
I need three.
00:15:48.61\00:15:50.58
So, okay, you can be
good. You can come up.
00:15:50.61\00:15:53.42
You got your orange
pants, you get to hold the sun.
00:15:53.45\00:15:56.02
Young lady right
here, please, over here,
00:15:56.05\00:15:58.12
and oh, I'll just grab one.
00:15:58.15\00:15:59.49
Well, you can
come, you're close.
00:15:59.52\00:16:00.86
All right.
00:16:00.89\00:16:02.32
So let me just
show you something.
00:16:02.36\00:16:03.96
I think it's really neat.
00:16:03.99\00:16:06.80
One of you gets to be the earth.
00:16:06.83\00:16:10.77
Let's see here.
00:16:10.80\00:16:13.23
Why don't you come
over? You wanna be the earth?
00:16:13.27\00:16:15.77
You got to hold the world.
00:16:15.80\00:16:17.44
And one of you
gets to be the sun.
00:16:17.47\00:16:19.94
You got the pants.
You got to be the sun.
00:16:24.85\00:16:26.38
It'll be easy to spot.
00:16:26.41\00:16:27.75
You guys stand
right in the middle.
00:16:27.78\00:16:29.12
Mr. Sun, what's your name?
00:16:29.15\00:16:30.65
Aaron. Aaron. Right.
00:16:30.69\00:16:32.05
Come and stand
back a little bit.
00:16:32.09\00:16:33.42
Okay, 'cause the earth
goes around the sun, right?
00:16:33.46\00:16:37.13
Now, are you in
gymnastics or anything?
00:16:37.16\00:16:39.76
No? I'm in gymnastics.
00:16:39.79\00:16:41.33
You are. Yeah.
00:16:41.36\00:16:42.70
You looked athletic.
Tell me, what's your name?
00:16:42.73\00:16:44.17
Michaela. Right.
00:16:44.20\00:16:45.53
Michaela, you're
gonna go around the sun.
00:16:45.57\00:16:48.07
So I'd like for you to
just go walk around the sun,
00:16:48.10\00:16:50.71
except, you can't
just walk around the sun,
00:16:50.74\00:16:52.44
if you're in gymnastics.
00:16:52.47\00:16:53.81
Does the earth spin?
00:16:53.84\00:16:56.11
So you got to go like this,
00:16:56.14\00:16:58.95
while you go
around the sun, okay?
00:16:58.98\00:17:00.72
So go ahead and
go ahead and do that.
00:17:00.75\00:17:03.18
How long does it
take? No. You're getting...
00:17:03.22\00:17:05.25
Don't get so close to the
sun. You're gonna get burn.
00:17:05.29\00:17:07.39
Come back here.
00:17:07.42\00:17:08.99
You ought to
know better than that.
00:17:09.02\00:17:10.36
You got sunscreen on.
00:17:10.39\00:17:11.73
All right, go
ahead and start spinning,
00:17:11.76\00:17:13.09
go around the sun.
00:17:13.13\00:17:14.46
How long does it
take for the earth
00:17:14.50\00:17:15.83
to go around the sun?
00:17:15.86\00:17:17.20
Three and sixty five.
00:17:17.23\00:17:18.57
Three and sixty
five, one quarter days.
00:17:18.60\00:17:19.93
All right, very good.
Michaela, you did a good job.
00:17:19.97\00:17:21.90
Now come over here.
00:17:21.94\00:17:23.97
You're the moon. Okay.
00:17:24.01\00:17:25.71
What's your name?
00:17:25.74\00:17:28.21
You got to look.
You don't remember.
00:17:28.24\00:17:29.58
Okay, Savannah. All right.
00:17:29.61\00:17:32.51
Now the moon
goes around the earth.
00:17:32.55\00:17:34.02
I want you to go
around the earth.
00:17:34.05\00:17:37.39
While the earth is
going around the sun, right?
00:17:37.42\00:17:39.79
So you got to keep
going around the sun.
00:17:39.82\00:17:41.16
You got to go around the earth.
No, you're losing the earth.
00:17:41.19\00:17:43.22
Get back. All right.
00:17:43.26\00:17:45.43
We're gonna have a
planetary collision here.
00:17:45.46\00:17:49.96
Oh, man! The universe is gone.
00:17:50.00\00:17:52.63
Wankers here. Right, let me...
00:17:52.67\00:17:54.47
How many days does
it take for the moon
00:17:54.50\00:17:56.47
to go around the
earth, its cycle?
00:17:56.50\00:17:59.31
One cycle of the moon though.
00:17:59.34\00:18:02.34
A month is how many days?
00:18:02.38\00:18:05.11
Well, a month, the
word month comes from moon,
00:18:05.15\00:18:07.15
it's about 28days.
00:18:07.18\00:18:09.58
Here's something I
think you'll find interesting.
00:18:09.62\00:18:12.25
All the
civilizations of the world,
00:18:12.29\00:18:14.72
even though they're separated,
00:18:14.76\00:18:16.73
they had a month
00:18:16.76\00:18:18.49
with about 28 days
00:18:18.53\00:18:19.86
because of the moon.
00:18:19.89\00:18:21.76
All of the civilizations
around the world had a year,
00:18:21.80\00:18:25.50
with
approximately 365 days in it,
00:18:25.53\00:18:29.20
some had 360
but they compensate,
00:18:29.24\00:18:31.47
because that's how long it took
00:18:31.51\00:18:33.07
for the earth to go around.
00:18:33.11\00:18:35.38
And, of course, everyone
has a 24 hour day roughly
00:18:35.41\00:18:37.75
because that's how long
it takes the day to rotate
00:18:37.78\00:18:40.12
or the earth to
rotate on its axis.
00:18:40.15\00:18:42.28
What in the sun, moon and stars
00:18:42.32\00:18:45.35
gives the world
a seven day week?
00:18:45.39\00:18:50.59
Nothing.
00:18:50.63\00:18:51.96
Why does the whole
world have a seven day week?
00:18:51.99\00:18:54.56
The whole world gets
their seven day a week
00:18:58.90\00:19:01.40
'cause in the
beginning, God did.
00:19:01.44\00:19:03.64
Let's thank them.
00:19:03.67\00:19:05.01
You know, the
most important decision
00:19:07.94\00:19:09.54
a young person can make
00:19:09.58\00:19:10.91
is that decision to follow Jesus
00:19:10.95\00:19:12.88
and begin that
amazing adventure to eternity.
00:19:12.91\00:19:15.92
That's why we're so
excited to tell you about
00:19:15.95\00:19:17.65

00:19:21.16\00:19:22.76

00:19:22.79\00:19:24.96
the young people will
do science experiments,
00:19:24.99\00:19:27.30
learn about history, nature,
encounter some wild animals,
00:19:27.33\00:19:30.77
and most of all,
00:19:30.80\00:19:32.13
they'll learn about
Jesus from the Word of God.
00:19:32.17\00:19:34.37
There's a beautifully
illustrated Bible Study Guide
00:19:34.40\00:19:37.07

00:19:37.11\00:19:40.08

puzzles, and Bible stories.
00:19:42.28\00:19:45.18
They'll lead your kids through
00:19:45.21\00:19:46.55
an incredible
journey with Jesus.
00:19:46.58\00:19:48.45
And for me, the
most exciting thing
00:19:48.48\00:19:50.12
is this new Amazing
Adventure series goes along
00:19:50.15\00:19:52.82
with the Amazing
Facts Adventure Bible.
00:19:52.85\00:19:55.12
The Bible, the study guides,
00:19:55.16\00:19:56.73
the DVDs are all designed
00:19:56.76\00:19:58.89

00:19:58.93\00:20:00.26

for Life with Jesus.

00:20:04.30\00:20:08.77
The whole world
has a seven day week,
00:20:08.80\00:20:12.04
because the Bible is the
only place you can train it to.
00:20:12.07\00:20:16.28
And we know what day that was.
00:20:16.31\00:20:17.71
You can read
there and Mark 16:1-2.
00:20:17.75\00:20:20.62
"When the Sabbath was passed,
00:20:20.65\00:20:22.98
very early in the morning
on the first day of the week,
00:20:23.02\00:20:27.06
they came to the tomb
00:20:27.09\00:20:28.72
when the sun had risen."
00:20:28.76\00:20:30.83
Now the days in the Bible
began and ended at sundown,
00:20:30.86\00:20:34.86
but Jesus, He died on Friday,
00:20:34.90\00:20:37.43
He spent the
Sabbath resting in the tomb,
00:20:37.47\00:20:40.10
He rose Sunday
morning to continue
00:20:40.14\00:20:42.47
His work for us
as our high priest.
00:20:42.50\00:20:45.17
All around the world,
the seventh day of the week
00:20:45.21\00:20:47.54
is what we would call Saturday.
00:20:47.58\00:20:48.91
This is a quote right here
00:20:48.94\00:20:50.28
from the online
Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
00:20:50.31\00:20:53.21
"Saturday, noun,
00:20:53.25\00:20:54.85
definition of the
seventh day of the week."
00:20:54.88\00:20:57.89
Saturday is the day
that falls between Friday,
00:20:57.92\00:21:00.89
the seventh day and
the first day Sunday.
00:21:00.92\00:21:03.32
In the Bible, you
do not find the word,
00:21:03.36\00:21:05.89
Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday,
00:21:05.93\00:21:07.36
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
00:21:07.40\00:21:08.80
Those names come
from Roman paganism.
00:21:08.83\00:21:11.80
Sunday's named after, what?
00:21:11.83\00:21:13.64
The sun. The sun.
00:21:13.67\00:21:15.00
Moon day, Monday.
00:21:15.04\00:21:17.94
Then, Tiwes was another god,
00:21:17.97\00:21:20.04
and you have
Thursday was Thor's day.
00:21:20.08\00:21:22.94
Wednesday was really Odin's day,
00:21:22.98\00:21:24.71
and we've kind of corrupted it.
00:21:24.75\00:21:26.15
So it says Wednesday
but it was Odin's day.
00:21:26.18\00:21:28.98
Friday was Freya's.
Saturday was, what planet?
00:21:29.02\00:21:32.09
Saturn. Saturn.
00:21:32.12\00:21:33.69
So the Bible never
uses any of the pagan names.
00:21:33.72\00:21:35.86
It numbered the days.
00:21:35.89\00:21:37.93
And what we would
call the seventh day
00:21:37.96\00:21:40.36
is what now the
world call Saturday.
00:21:40.40\00:21:43.10
Wanna hear
something interesting?
00:21:43.13\00:21:44.47
In over 105
languages of the world,
00:21:44.50\00:21:47.97
the word for the seventh
day of the week is Sabbath.
00:21:48.00\00:21:51.44
Who here can hablas espanol?
00:21:51.47\00:21:54.74
What's a Saturday?
00:21:54.78\00:21:56.21
Sabado. Sabado.
00:21:56.24\00:21:57.58
Anyone speak...
00:21:57.61\00:21:58.95
Sobota, right?
00:22:02.68\00:22:04.35
Seventh day of the week.
00:22:04.39\00:22:05.72
And in Portuguese,
and then 105 languages.
00:22:05.75\00:22:08.49
Why do all these
countries that were separated
00:22:08.52\00:22:10.96
at the Tower of Babel,
00:22:10.99\00:22:12.63
their word for
Saturday is Sabbath day?
00:22:12.66\00:22:16.40
'Cause it was the day
that God gave to Adam and Eve.
00:22:16.43\00:22:19.10
It's a day God wants to
spend with you in a special way,
00:22:19.13\00:22:21.64
and He wants to bless you.
00:22:21.67\00:22:23.71
So our third question,
00:22:23.74\00:22:25.31
where did the Sabbath come from?
00:22:25.34\00:22:27.48
And how long has it been
a special day for our King?
00:22:27.51\00:22:31.31
Well, you read in Genesis 1:1,
00:22:31.35\00:22:34.25
"In the beginning,
00:22:34.28\00:22:35.75
God created the
heavens and the earth."
00:22:35.78\00:22:37.89
So how far back
does the Sabbath go?
00:22:37.92\00:22:40.69
Beginning. Beginning.
00:22:40.72\00:22:42.06
Before sin or after?
00:22:42.09\00:22:43.43
Before. Before.
00:22:43.46\00:22:44.79
That's part of
God's perfect plan.
00:22:44.83\00:22:47.16
You mean even before
sin, God wanted man to rest?
00:22:47.20\00:22:51.40
Did Adam get real
tired and exhausted
00:22:51.43\00:22:53.84
and he couldn't wake up?
00:22:53.87\00:22:55.20
You know, the Bible says
00:22:55.24\00:22:56.57
in heaven you will
run and not beweary.
00:22:56.60\00:22:58.47
You will walk and not faint.
00:22:58.51\00:23:00.14
Part of the reason
that God had the Sabbath
00:23:00.18\00:23:02.08
is because He wanted
to spend time with Him.
00:23:02.11\00:23:04.48
How many of you
remember reading in the Bible
00:23:04.51\00:23:06.78
when God was
walking in the garden,
00:23:06.82\00:23:08.92
and he called,
"Adam, where are you?"
00:23:08.95\00:23:11.62
God used to spend time,
00:23:11.65\00:23:13.32
personal time with
Adam and Eve every Sabbath.
00:23:13.36\00:23:16.93
What a wonderful
honor to think about that.
00:23:16.96\00:23:19.36
Now, did God give that up
00:23:19.39\00:23:20.73
or does He still
want quality time with us?
00:23:20.76\00:23:23.43
Y'all know what quality time is.
00:23:23.47\00:23:26.80
Like,
00:23:26.84\00:23:28.80
I'm sure this conversation
happens in many families.
00:23:28.84\00:23:32.17
Sometimes Mrs. Batchelor
will say to Pastor Doug,
00:23:32.21\00:23:36.81
"Doug, we need to
spend more time together."
00:23:36.85\00:23:39.45
And I say,
00:23:39.48\00:23:40.82
"Oh, I was home all
last week." She said, "Yeah.
00:23:40.85\00:23:43.22
And you were in the office
working on your computer."
00:23:43.25\00:23:46.96
I said, "Well, you
were in the house too."
00:23:46.99\00:23:48.32
But we weren't
spending quality time together.
00:23:48.36\00:23:51.99
Quality time means
that I carve out time
00:23:52.03\00:23:54.26
where I'm not
doing other things,
00:23:54.30\00:23:55.63
but I'm just
spending time with her,
00:23:55.66\00:23:58.03
communicating with
her, enjoying her company.
00:23:58.07\00:24:01.70
And that's what God wants.
00:24:01.74\00:24:04.17
Sometimes we get so busy,
00:24:04.21\00:24:05.54
"Lord, I want this,
and Lord, I want that,
00:24:05.57\00:24:06.91
and give me this,
and give me that."
00:24:06.94\00:24:08.41
And we don't ever wanna
just spend time with God
00:24:08.44\00:24:10.41
and say, "Lord,
what can I do for You?"
00:24:10.45\00:24:13.08
God loves us. He wants us to...
00:24:13.11\00:24:15.98
You ever heard of
love at first sight?
00:24:16.02\00:24:18.29
Yes.
00:24:18.32\00:24:19.65
Now you look at
somebody and you go,
00:24:19.69\00:24:21.02
"Ah, that's the
person I'm gonna marry."
00:24:21.06\00:24:23.32
The first time you see him.
00:24:23.36\00:24:24.69
I think that can happen.
00:24:28.40\00:24:31.10
A lot of times it's
not love at first sight,
00:24:31.13\00:24:33.10
it's kind of lust at first sight
00:24:33.13\00:24:34.47
or someone's really infatuated.
00:24:34.50\00:24:36.84
Most of the time
when people get married,
00:24:36.87\00:24:39.14
every now and then you'll
hear a story someone will say,
00:24:39.17\00:24:42.54
"I met this person yesterday
and we got married today."
00:24:42.58\00:24:46.08
You know,
typically, those weddings,
00:24:46.11\00:24:48.32
those marriages
don't last very long.
00:24:48.35\00:24:50.99
If you wanna love someone...
00:24:51.02\00:24:52.35
How do you fall
in love with someone?
00:24:52.39\00:24:55.72
You'll look at a
picture of them go...
00:24:55.76\00:24:57.86
Wow!
00:24:57.89\00:24:59.69
No.
00:24:59.73\00:25:01.06
You fall in love with somebody
00:25:01.10\00:25:02.43
because you talk to
them and they talk to you,
00:25:02.46\00:25:05.33
and you love who they are.
00:25:05.37\00:25:07.24
You might also
like how they look,
00:25:07.27\00:25:09.04
but you wanna love who they are.
00:25:09.07\00:25:11.17
How do we talk to God?
00:25:11.21\00:25:14.74
How does He talk to us?
00:25:14.78\00:25:18.01
The Holy Spirit,
00:25:18.05\00:25:19.38
He speaks to us
through His Word,
00:25:19.41\00:25:21.35
hopefully through
pastors preaching sermons
00:25:21.38\00:25:23.79
and Christian teachers.
00:25:23.82\00:25:26.15
But we listen to
God and He talks to us
00:25:26.19\00:25:28.66
and we fall in love with Him.
00:25:28.69\00:25:30.49
God picked a day for us to
have quality time with Him.
00:25:30.53\00:25:34.16
And He wants us
to remember that.
00:25:34.20\00:25:35.96
"And on the seventh day,
00:25:36.00\00:25:38.40
God ended His
work which He had done,
00:25:38.43\00:25:41.27
and He rested on the seventh day
00:25:41.30\00:25:42.90
from all His work
which He had done."
00:25:42.94\00:25:45.81
So the Bible tells us,
00:25:45.84\00:25:47.18
you notice right
there in the beginning,
00:25:47.21\00:25:48.54
it tells us that He
created the Sabbath day,
00:25:48.58\00:25:49.91
and it says, "God
blessed and sanctified it.
00:25:49.94\00:25:52.78
Because in it He
rested from all the work
00:25:52.81\00:25:55.22
which God created and made."
00:25:55.25\00:25:57.25
Three times it
says the seventh day,
00:25:57.29\00:25:59.65
the seventh
day, the seventh day.
00:25:59.69\00:26:02.42
Now, there's a
number in Revelation
00:26:02.46\00:26:04.69
that's supposed to be
the number for the beast
00:26:04.73\00:26:06.09
who knows what that number is?
00:26:06.13\00:26:07.60
666. 666.
00:26:07.63\00:26:11.20
Become an ominous number.
00:26:11.23\00:26:13.60
Did you know
00:26:13.64\00:26:14.97
that if you add 1 plus
2, plus 3, plus 4, plus 5,
00:26:15.00\00:26:18.41
plus 6, plus 7, up to 36,
00:26:18.44\00:26:21.98
it adds up to 666.
00:26:22.01\00:26:23.95
So if you add all the
numbers together up to 36,
00:26:23.98\00:26:26.01
something else about
666, you'll find interesting.
00:26:26.05\00:26:28.82
If you add up the Roman coins,
00:26:28.85\00:26:32.25
the Romans had
the Roman numerals
00:26:32.29\00:26:34.42
one through six.
00:26:34.46\00:26:36.69
Or you add up the first
six Roman numerals rather,
00:26:36.73\00:26:39.53
the I, the V, the X, the D,
00:26:39.56\00:26:44.07
and I'm leaving one
out, they add up to 666.
00:26:44.10\00:26:48.80
So it's kind of interesting,
00:26:48.84\00:26:50.17
that's an amazing
mathematic number.
00:26:50.21\00:26:51.94
You know that,
00:26:51.97\00:26:53.38
the number
seven is God's number.
00:26:53.41\00:26:57.48
There's a lot of ways
you see seven in nature.
00:26:57.51\00:27:01.22
You know, one of the
strongest signs that you have,
00:27:01.25\00:27:05.65
one of the strongest
structures in the world.
00:27:05.69\00:27:08.32
I need a volunteer.
00:27:08.36\00:27:10.43
Just one. Just one.
00:27:10.46\00:27:11.93
Young lady right
here. All right, yeah.
00:27:11.96\00:27:15.06
Now, you don't
like candy, do you?
00:27:15.10\00:27:17.63
You know what that is?
00:27:20.67\00:27:24.61
That's Mr. Ross was
kind enough to bring us
00:27:24.64\00:27:27.18
some actual wax
that's been built by bees.
00:27:27.21\00:27:29.98
You know what's on there?
00:27:30.01\00:27:31.91
Honey.
00:27:31.95\00:27:33.28
What do bees
make? What's your name?
00:27:33.31\00:27:35.18
Moriah. Moriah.
00:27:35.22\00:27:36.55
That's a beautiful name.
00:27:36.58\00:27:37.92
I like that name.
00:27:37.95\00:27:39.29
You know what it means?
00:27:39.32\00:27:40.66
God will provide.
00:27:40.69\00:27:42.02
That's what that name means.
00:27:42.06\00:27:43.39
But this is honey
and it is very sweet.
00:27:43.43\00:27:46.43
But you know that the
bees are incredible engineers,
00:27:46.46\00:27:49.83
one of the strongest structures.
00:27:49.86\00:27:51.23
Now if you look right here,
00:27:51.27\00:27:52.83
you can see that
the bees they have,
00:27:52.87\00:27:56.20
there's lots of little circles,
00:27:56.24\00:27:57.81
but the circles are
surrounded by circles.
00:27:57.84\00:27:59.87
It's one of the
strongest designs in nature.
00:27:59.91\00:28:04.78
You've got six hexagons,
00:28:04.81\00:28:08.28
surrounded by one
hexagon, the seventh.
00:28:08.32\00:28:12.35
Do you know what our week is?
00:28:12.39\00:28:13.82
Our week is six days
surrounded by a seventh day.
00:28:13.86\00:28:18.83
Did you wanna
taste some of that?
00:28:18.86\00:28:20.90
Sure. All right,
tell you right here.
00:28:20.93\00:28:24.27
Now they tell me this honey
00:28:24.30\00:28:26.07
is in this comb
00:28:26.10\00:28:27.60
is about 20 years old.
00:28:27.64\00:28:30.37
But honey is not supposed to...
00:28:30.41\00:28:33.04
That's right from the bee.
00:28:33.07\00:28:34.41
Tell me if it's sweet or not.
00:28:34.44\00:28:36.75
Still sweet?
00:28:36.78\00:28:38.11
Ain't that good? You know what?
00:28:38.15\00:28:39.71
The Sabbath is sweet too.
00:28:39.75\00:28:41.12
You get to keep the spoon.
00:28:41.15\00:28:42.48
Let's give her a hand.
00:28:42.52\00:28:45.39
All the nature you can
00:28:45.42\00:28:46.76
find the number
seven is very interesting.
00:28:46.79\00:28:48.46
You know, most animals
00:28:48.49\00:28:50.69
when they're pregnant
before they lay their eggs
00:28:50.73\00:28:52.43
or have their babies,
00:28:52.46\00:28:53.80
they have their
babies in divisions of weeks.
00:28:53.83\00:28:56.50
It's often one week,
two weeks, three weeks,
00:28:56.53\00:28:58.40
but it seems like the
gestation for creatures
00:28:58.43\00:29:00.94
is divided even
in seven day cycles.
00:29:00.97\00:29:05.47
Question number four,
00:29:05.51\00:29:06.84
does God want everybody to
worship Him on the Sabbath?
00:29:06.88\00:29:09.44
And what do the
Ten Commandments say?
00:29:09.48\00:29:11.11
So we're covering two
things in this question.
00:29:11.15\00:29:12.78
First of all,
00:29:12.81\00:29:14.15
the Sabbath was made for Jews.
00:29:14.18\00:29:17.42
Is that what it says?
00:29:17.45\00:29:18.79
And a lot of people say,
00:29:18.82\00:29:20.16
now my mother was Jewish,
00:29:20.19\00:29:22.09
and she was not
very religious Jew,
00:29:22.12\00:29:24.23
but most Jews around the
world still keep the Sabbath
00:29:24.26\00:29:28.43
on the original seventh day,
00:29:28.46\00:29:30.53
the Orthodox Jews.
00:29:30.57\00:29:32.23
But some people say,
00:29:32.27\00:29:33.84
"Well, the seventh day
Sabbath, that's for Jews."
00:29:33.87\00:29:36.67
The first day
Sabbath, that's for Christians.
00:29:36.71\00:29:40.11
But where in the
Bible does it say that?
00:29:40.14\00:29:43.41
Can you show me a
command anywhere in the Bible
00:29:43.45\00:29:46.01
to keep the
first day of the week?
00:29:46.05\00:29:48.52
The Sabbath was made for man
and that word there Anthropose.
00:29:48.55\00:29:51.55
It means mankind humanity.
00:29:51.59\00:29:53.76
Sabbath is made for everybody.
00:29:53.79\00:29:55.12
Doesn't everybody need rest?
00:29:55.16\00:29:57.06
Yeah.
00:29:57.09\00:29:58.43
How does God want us to respond?
00:29:58.46\00:30:01.00
It says in the commandment,
00:30:01.03\00:30:02.63
"Remember the Sabbath
day, to keep it holy."
00:30:02.66\00:30:06.50
Now if I was to
hand you a candle,
00:30:06.53\00:30:09.34
and I was to tell you,
00:30:09.37\00:30:10.71
I want you to keep
this candle burning for me.
00:30:10.74\00:30:12.34
And I hand you the
candle and the candle is dead,
00:30:12.37\00:30:14.91
it's not lit.
00:30:14.94\00:30:16.51
Wouldn't you wonder,
00:30:16.54\00:30:18.01
"Why is Pastor Doug telling
me to keep the candle burning?
00:30:18.05\00:30:20.95
Candle is not burning."
00:30:20.98\00:30:23.28
I would tell you
to keep it burning,
00:30:23.32\00:30:24.95
if it's already burning, right?
00:30:24.99\00:30:27.69
So when God says
keep the Sabbath holy,
00:30:27.72\00:30:29.59
you know what
that means, it's holy.
00:30:29.62\00:30:31.23
He made it holy.
00:30:31.26\00:30:32.59
He wants us to keep it
the way He already made it.
00:30:32.63\00:30:35.46
And some people think that,
00:30:35.50\00:30:36.83
"Well, it was made years later
just for the Jewish nation."
00:30:36.87\00:30:40.00
Now, what the Bible teaches,
00:30:40.04\00:30:41.97
six days,
here's the commandment,
00:30:42.00\00:30:44.04
"Six days you should
labor and do all of your work,
00:30:44.07\00:30:47.08
but the seventh day is
the Sabbath of the Jews."
00:30:47.11\00:30:51.55
Sabbath of who?
00:30:51.58\00:30:52.91
"The Lord, your God."
00:30:52.95\00:30:54.58
Is He your Lord too?
00:30:54.62\00:30:55.98
Yes.
00:30:56.02\00:30:57.35
"In it you
shall not do any work.
00:30:57.39\00:30:59.05
You or your son,
00:30:59.09\00:31:01.12
or your daughter, your
family," shouldn't work,
00:31:01.16\00:31:03.22
"or your male servant,"
00:31:03.26\00:31:04.93
that means even employees,
00:31:04.96\00:31:06.49
"or your female
servant or your cattle,"
00:31:06.53\00:31:08.40
even your animals, they
used to plow with the oxen
00:31:08.43\00:31:11.37
and work the donkeys, He said,
00:31:11.40\00:31:12.73
even your animals need to rest.
00:31:12.77\00:31:14.27
God cares about animals.
00:31:14.30\00:31:16.14
"And the stranger
within your gates."
00:31:16.17\00:31:17.64
Anyone in your
home should respect
00:31:17.67\00:31:20.28
your laws in your home.
00:31:20.31\00:31:22.14
Why?
00:31:22.18\00:31:23.51
"For in six days the Lord
made the heavens and the earth
00:31:23.55\00:31:26.58
and the sea, and
all that is in them,
00:31:26.61\00:31:29.95
and He rested the seventh day.
00:31:29.98\00:31:31.75
Therefore the Lord
blessed the seventh day
00:31:31.79\00:31:34.39
and He hallowed it."
00:31:34.42\00:31:35.76
Now you notice
there's some special things
00:31:35.79\00:31:37.33
that God did to this day,
00:31:37.36\00:31:38.69
He didn't do it
in the other day.
00:31:38.73\00:31:40.56
I'm gonna need a table up here
and I gonna need one volunteer.
00:31:40.60\00:31:44.23
So...
00:31:44.27\00:31:45.60
Let me see. I'll
come around the side here.
00:31:48.37\00:31:51.14
Let's get another odd boy.
I've been neglecting the boys.
00:31:51.17\00:31:52.97
Right off the front
here. All right, come on.
00:31:53.01\00:31:54.94
Don't worry, there's more.
00:31:54.98\00:31:56.31
There's more, more involvement.
00:31:56.34\00:31:58.25
All right, Pastor
Ross is gonna help me.
00:31:58.28\00:32:00.65
And what was your name?
00:32:00.68\00:32:02.02
Micah. Micah?
00:32:02.05\00:32:03.39
Oh, that's a good name.
00:32:03.42\00:32:05.25
All right.
00:32:05.29\00:32:07.36
Here we go.
00:32:07.39\00:32:08.72
Now how many days in the week?
00:32:12.93\00:32:14.80
Seven. Seven days in the week?
00:32:14.83\00:32:16.46
Do you know your
Bible pretty well, Micah?
00:32:16.50\00:32:20.60
And let's see here.
00:32:20.64\00:32:23.77
You think you could safely
pour water in that first cup?
00:32:23.81\00:32:27.41
Can you pour water and
tell me at the same time
00:32:27.44\00:32:29.14
what did God do
on the first day?
00:32:29.18\00:32:31.78
What did He make?
That's good. That's enough.
00:32:31.81\00:32:33.98
What did God make the first day?
00:32:34.02\00:32:37.09
Wanna help him?
00:32:37.12\00:32:38.45
On the first day God
said, "Let there be..."
00:32:38.49\00:32:39.82
Light. Light. Is that right?
00:32:39.85\00:32:41.19
Now, I know you got
the pressure of the cameras
00:32:41.22\00:32:42.96
it's hard to remember all that.
00:32:42.99\00:32:44.49
All right, you know what
He made on the second day?
00:32:44.53\00:32:45.96
Separated, He made the heavens.
00:32:51.63\00:32:52.97
He separated the
waters above below.
00:32:53.00\00:32:54.64
He made the
atmosphere, the heavens, right.
00:32:54.67\00:32:56.00
Why don't you put something
in the second day here?
00:32:56.04\00:33:00.54
Don't put too much
water in the second day,
00:33:00.58\00:33:01.91
even those water.
00:33:01.94\00:33:03.28
All right.
00:33:03.31\00:33:04.65
Third day.
00:33:04.68\00:33:07.18
Vegetation.
00:33:07.22\00:33:10.19
Plants. Plants,
isn't that right?
00:33:10.22\00:33:12.82
Yeah?
00:33:12.85\00:33:14.19
All right, so
let's make the plants.
00:33:14.22\00:33:17.33
Okay.
00:33:17.36\00:33:18.73
And fourth day.
00:33:18.76\00:33:22.03
You guys, come on you
got to read your Bible.
00:33:22.06\00:33:24.87
Sun, moon, and stars.
00:33:24.90\00:33:26.94
All right.
00:33:26.97\00:33:29.94
All right, that's good.
00:33:29.97\00:33:31.81
Lot of stars.
00:33:31.84\00:33:34.08
The fifth day He
made the animals.
00:33:34.11\00:33:36.48
Okay, what did He
make on the fifth day?
00:33:36.51\00:33:39.61
Animals! That's right.
00:33:39.65\00:33:41.22
Let's give him a hand.
00:33:41.25\00:33:43.92
Okay.
00:33:43.95\00:33:46.65
Now, He made the
fish and the birds.
00:33:46.69\00:33:48.72
I didn't say which
animals. That's right.
00:33:48.76\00:33:50.29
Correct. Fish and
the birds. All right.
00:33:50.33\00:33:52.33
And then,
00:33:52.36\00:33:53.70
He made the land animals
on the sixth day, all right?
00:33:53.73\00:33:59.23
And what was the
final animal that God made?
00:33:59.27\00:34:05.21
Woman?
00:34:05.24\00:34:08.71
That's right.
00:34:08.74\00:34:10.35
Well...
00:34:10.38\00:34:12.01
Yeah.
00:34:12.05\00:34:13.38
You know, God made...
Now this is really true.
00:34:13.42\00:34:16.08
God started making
things that were simple.
00:34:16.12\00:34:19.62
And then He
starts making plants,
00:34:19.65\00:34:21.19
things start
getting very complex
00:34:21.22\00:34:22.89
and the sun, moon and stars,
00:34:22.92\00:34:24.26
and then He starts
making the birds and the fish,
00:34:24.29\00:34:26.16
and then He makes the animals,
00:34:26.19\00:34:27.53
then He makes
man in His own image.
00:34:27.56\00:34:29.40
And God says, "I'm gonna make
00:34:29.43\00:34:30.77
something
extremely complicated."
00:34:30.80\00:34:33.54
And then He made girls.
00:34:33.57\00:34:36.04
All right.
00:34:36.07\00:34:37.41
They are the last thing He made.
00:34:37.44\00:34:39.04
Okay.
00:34:39.07\00:34:41.04
And then what did God
make on the seventh day?
00:34:41.08\00:34:45.55
He made time!
00:34:45.58\00:34:46.92
All right, let's go ahead.
00:34:46.95\00:34:48.28
Let's see what happens here.
00:34:48.32\00:34:51.69
All right, that's good.
00:34:51.72\00:34:53.86
Now, why is that different?
00:34:53.89\00:34:57.09
You wanna taste
that? Do you trust me?
00:34:57.13\00:35:00.73
You don't trust Pastor Doug.
00:35:00.76\00:35:02.10
You think I'd poison you
00:35:02.13\00:35:03.47
in front of
everybody on television.
00:35:03.50\00:35:04.83
Boy, well, I
think you can try it.
00:35:04.87\00:35:06.84
I will. It's got
a lot of vitamin C.
00:35:06.87\00:35:09.87
Does that taste like water
00:35:09.90\00:35:11.24
or it tastes a little different?
00:35:11.27\00:35:12.61
Different. Little bit different.
00:35:12.64\00:35:13.98
Little bit
sweet, little bit sour.
00:35:14.01\00:35:15.34
Yeah. Okay.
00:35:15.38\00:35:16.71
Is there something
different about the Sabbath day?
00:35:16.75\00:35:19.21
What did God do differently?
00:35:19.25\00:35:20.58
It tells us that
God on the seventh day,
00:35:20.62\00:35:23.18
He rested on that day,
00:35:23.22\00:35:25.65
He blessed that day,
00:35:25.69\00:35:27.56
He sanctified that day.
00:35:27.59\00:35:29.02
Do you see the difference,
00:35:29.06\00:35:31.66
something He did to this day,
00:35:31.69\00:35:33.03
He did not do to any other day?
00:35:33.06\00:35:34.96
He created things on
that day, on the all the days,
00:35:35.00\00:35:37.87
but in this day, He
made a day to be a day
00:35:37.90\00:35:40.70
of blessing, rest,
holiness, sanctification.
00:35:40.74\00:35:44.04
Let's give Micah a hand.
00:35:44.07\00:35:45.41
Thank you very
much for helping us
00:35:45.44\00:35:48.54
to do that illustration.
00:35:48.58\00:35:51.15
Also, not only
is the Sabbath made
00:35:51.18\00:35:54.65
to be a blessing for everyone,
00:35:54.68\00:35:56.08
God says it's not just
for Jews, it's for everyone.
00:35:56.12\00:35:57.92
Listen to this
verse, Isaiah 56:6-7,
00:35:57.95\00:36:02.62
"Also the sons of the stranger
00:36:02.66\00:36:05.26
that join themselves
to the Lord to serve him,
00:36:05.29\00:36:08.10
and to love the
name of the Lord,
00:36:08.13\00:36:10.20
to be his servants,
00:36:10.23\00:36:11.57
everyone that keeps the
Sabbath day from polluting it,
00:36:11.60\00:36:14.44
and keeping my covenant.
00:36:14.47\00:36:16.17
Even them," He says, even
the sons of the strangers,
00:36:16.20\00:36:18.81
anybody that
comes to join Israel,
00:36:18.84\00:36:21.34
"Even them I will
bring to my holy mountain
00:36:21.38\00:36:24.48
and make them joyful."
00:36:24.51\00:36:26.48
Bible's called a blessing,
00:36:26.51\00:36:29.12
says, the Sabbath is a delight,
00:36:29.15\00:36:31.39
and those who keep it are, what?
00:36:31.42\00:36:33.62
Joyful.
00:36:33.66\00:36:35.26
Is the day supposed to
be a burden or a blessing?
00:36:35.29\00:36:37.46
Blessing. A
blessing. That's happy.
00:36:37.49\00:36:39.13
Jesus said, "Blessed are you."
00:36:39.16\00:36:41.06
He made the
Sabbath to be a blessing,
00:36:41.10\00:36:42.76
that special day with Him.
00:36:42.80\00:36:44.87
And he said, "Six
days you shall gather,
00:36:44.90\00:36:47.40
but on the seventh
day, there'll be none."
00:36:47.44\00:36:49.00
Now there's no
question about the Sabbath
00:36:49.04\00:36:51.77
being from the beginning.
00:36:51.81\00:36:53.54
Who knows what chapter
00:36:53.58\00:36:54.91
you'll find the
Ten Commandments?
00:36:54.94\00:36:56.98
Exodus. Exodus Chapter?
00:36:57.01\00:36:58.91
Twenty. Twenty. Good job.
00:36:58.95\00:37:01.62
But you know what
00:37:01.65\00:37:02.98
they were keeping the
Sabbath before Exodus 20.
00:37:03.02\00:37:05.75
Moses went to the Pharaoh
said, "Let my people go."
00:37:05.79\00:37:08.42
And the Pharaoh said,
00:37:08.46\00:37:09.79
"Moses, you're
making the people Shabbat."
00:37:09.82\00:37:11.49
That's the word.
00:37:11.53\00:37:12.86
He said, "You're telling
them to Shabbat." To Sabbath.
00:37:12.89\00:37:16.23
"You're telling them to rest."
00:37:16.26\00:37:17.70
They knew what Sabbath rest was.
00:37:17.73\00:37:19.63
Then when the man
that fell from heaven,
00:37:19.67\00:37:22.30
six days a week, but God said,
00:37:22.34\00:37:23.74
"Get twice as much
on sixth day, Friday,
00:37:23.77\00:37:27.21
there'll be none on Sabbath."
00:37:27.24\00:37:29.51
So you can save some over.
00:37:29.54\00:37:30.88
That's why we get
all our preparation done
00:37:30.91\00:37:32.45
on the sixth day so we can rest,
00:37:32.48\00:37:34.52
no stress on the Sabbath.
00:37:34.55\00:37:37.72
That's Exodus 16 is the manner.
00:37:37.75\00:37:40.26
The Ten Commandments
don't even come till Exodus 20.
00:37:40.29\00:37:43.19
Sabbath goes all the
way back to Adam and Eve
00:37:43.22\00:37:45.53
in the Garden of
Eden when God blessed it.
00:37:45.56\00:37:48.26
So here's a question.
00:37:48.30\00:37:50.23
Why do many people
worship God on Sunday now?
00:37:50.27\00:37:54.17
Have the Ten
Commandments been changed?
00:37:54.20\00:37:57.71
Now we've talked about
00:37:57.74\00:37:59.07
the law of the
King the other day,
00:37:59.11\00:38:00.44
do you remember?
00:38:00.48\00:38:01.81
Remember the girls and others
trying to erase the stone?
00:38:01.84\00:38:05.25
Can you erase
something spoken by God's voice,
00:38:05.28\00:38:09.55
written by God's finger
00:38:09.58\00:38:12.09
as part of His eternal plan?
00:38:12.12\00:38:14.86
Why would God
change the Sabbath?
00:38:14.89\00:38:16.93
Was there something
wrong with the seventh day?
00:38:16.96\00:38:20.13
Does the law of God,
00:38:20.16\00:38:21.66
does the Ten
Commandments need changing?
00:38:21.70\00:38:24.83
Now the reason I'm spending time
00:38:24.87\00:38:26.23
talking about
this evening is because
00:38:26.27\00:38:29.77
a lot of
Christians are confused about
00:38:29.80\00:38:31.64
some of the commandments.
00:38:31.67\00:38:33.17
Some Christians think
it's okay to pray to statues.
00:38:33.21\00:38:36.21
But the Bible says in
the Second Commandment,
00:38:36.24\00:38:38.51
"You shall not
make a graven image,
00:38:38.55\00:38:41.15
or the likeness of
anything in the heaven above,
00:38:41.18\00:38:43.25
the earth beneath, of
the water under the earth,
00:38:43.28\00:38:45.55
you shall not bow down
yourself to them or serve them.
00:38:45.59\00:38:48.96
For I the Lord your
God, I'm a jealous God,
00:38:48.99\00:38:51.46
visiting the iniquity of
the father's upon the sun's
00:38:51.49\00:38:54.00
under the third and
fourth generation of those
00:38:54.03\00:38:55.86
that hate Me and showing mercy
00:38:55.90\00:38:57.53
under thousands
of those that love Me
00:38:57.57\00:39:00.10
and keep My commandments."
00:39:00.14\00:39:01.47
How do we keep His commandments?
00:39:01.50\00:39:02.97
Love Him and
keep His commandments.
00:39:03.00\00:39:04.34
So some people forgot
about that commandment.
00:39:04.37\00:39:06.71
But do you know one
of the main commandments
00:39:06.74\00:39:08.11
Christians are neglecting?
00:39:08.14\00:39:11.05
Which
commandment is the Sabbath?
00:39:11.08\00:39:12.55
Fourth. Fourth.
00:39:12.58\00:39:14.88
First four
commandments talk about
00:39:14.92\00:39:16.42
our love relationship with God,
00:39:16.45\00:39:18.59
who He is, what His name is,
00:39:18.62\00:39:20.46
how to worship Him,
when to worship Him.
00:39:20.49\00:39:23.12
And God said,
"Remember, I blessed this day
00:39:23.16\00:39:25.43
I made an
appointment to worship you."
00:39:25.46\00:39:27.43
But lot of Christians
have been ignoring it.
00:39:27.46\00:39:30.20
And it's interesting,
00:39:30.23\00:39:31.57
they try to get rid of
the whole Ten Commandments
00:39:31.60\00:39:32.97
because of the Sabbath.
00:39:33.00\00:39:35.20
See, I could stand up in
most churches in Michigan,
00:39:35.24\00:39:38.91
and I could preach about
00:39:38.94\00:39:41.01
honor your father and mother.
00:39:41.04\00:39:42.98
And they say amen.
00:39:43.01\00:39:44.71
I could preach
and say don't steal.
00:39:44.75\00:39:46.88
Amen.
00:39:46.92\00:39:48.28
Don't kill. Amen.
00:39:48.32\00:39:49.82
Don't covet. Amen.
00:39:49.85\00:39:51.19
Even though they do
some of these things.
00:39:51.22\00:39:52.55
That's amen.
00:39:52.59\00:39:53.92
But then I say remember
the seventh day Sabbath,
00:39:53.96\00:39:55.79
they go "We're
not under the law.
00:39:55.82\00:39:57.23
Ten Commandments
are done away with".
00:39:57.26\00:39:59.59
They have no problem
with the Ten Commandments
00:39:59.63\00:40:01.63
until they learn
the Sabbath truth.
00:40:01.66\00:40:04.17
Then they realize
it's right in the middle.
00:40:04.20\00:40:07.54
I was doing a meeting
00:40:07.57\00:40:08.90
where I was talking
about the Sabbath one time.
00:40:08.94\00:40:11.27
And a pastor was there
who went to church on Sunday.
00:40:11.31\00:40:14.48
And he interrupted me.
00:40:14.51\00:40:16.38
He said, "Pastor Doug,
00:40:16.41\00:40:18.15
you're putting all
these people under bondage,
00:40:18.18\00:40:20.02
telling them they
have to keep the law."
00:40:20.05\00:40:22.35
And I said, "Brother,
00:40:22.38\00:40:23.85
do you believe God wants us
to keep the Ten Commandments?"
00:40:23.89\00:40:26.76
He said, "No".
00:40:26.79\00:40:28.12
And some of his members were
in the congregation, they went,
00:40:28.16\00:40:31.76
they didn't think
their pastor would say
00:40:31.79\00:40:33.13
it's okay to break
the Ten Commandments.
00:40:33.16\00:40:35.06
And he heard them
and he said, "Well, yes."
00:40:35.10\00:40:37.97
And then they realized what,
00:40:38.00\00:40:39.33
but the Sabbath is part
of the Ten Commandments.
00:40:39.37\00:40:41.00
And then he said, "Nine of them,
00:40:41.04\00:40:43.20
we're supposed to keep
nine of the Ten Commandments."
00:40:43.24\00:40:46.27
And so I said,
00:40:46.31\00:40:47.64
"You mean the one commandment
you're saying we should forget,
00:40:47.68\00:40:50.68
is the only commandment
00:40:50.71\00:40:52.08
that begins with
the word remember."
00:40:52.11\00:40:55.82
Why would God tell us to forget
00:40:55.85\00:40:57.19
the only one
that He says remember,
00:40:57.22\00:40:58.55
maybe God said Remember,
00:40:58.59\00:41:00.36
because He knew
people would forget.
00:41:00.39\00:41:02.82
What do you think?
00:41:02.86\00:41:05.33
And Bible says in Ezekiel 22:26,
00:41:05.36\00:41:07.80
"Her priests
have violated My law
00:41:07.83\00:41:10.77
and profane My holy things.
00:41:10.80\00:41:12.80
They've hidden their
eyes from my Sabbaths."
00:41:12.83\00:41:16.40
Yes, even some
pastors and priests,
00:41:16.44\00:41:18.54
they say we don't want
to see this commandment
00:41:18.57\00:41:20.11
because it goes
against our tradition.
00:41:20.14\00:41:22.68
But what's more
important, the traditions of man
00:41:22.71\00:41:26.65
or the Commandments of God?
00:41:26.68\00:41:29.08
The Commandments of God.
00:41:29.12\00:41:30.45
Peter told the judges of Israel,
00:41:30.49\00:41:32.45
he said, "It's more important
that we obey God than man."
00:41:32.49\00:41:37.03
How many of you
remember the story
00:41:37.06\00:41:39.36
where Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego.
00:41:39.39\00:41:42.80
They had Jewish names Hananiah,
and Mishael, and Azariah.
00:41:42.83\00:41:45.00
They would not bow
down to the king's image.
00:41:45.03\00:41:46.74
Why?
00:41:46.77\00:41:48.10
'Cause one of the
Ten Commandments says
00:41:48.14\00:41:49.47
don't make an
image and bow down.
00:41:49.50\00:41:51.01
They were ready to
die and go to the furnace,
00:41:51.04\00:41:53.17
rather than disobey.
00:41:53.21\00:41:54.84
Don't you want
that kind of faith?
00:41:54.88\00:41:56.95
So the king threw
them in the furnace.
00:41:56.98\00:41:59.01
They said, "It's more
important to obey God than man."
00:41:59.05\00:42:01.58
Even the king,
00:42:01.62\00:42:03.02
king threw them in the furnace
and Jesus delivered them.
00:42:03.05\00:42:06.45
Then another king came
along Darius, he told Daniel,
00:42:06.49\00:42:09.49
you can't pray to
anybody but me for 30 days.
00:42:09.52\00:42:12.29
First commandment says,
"You will not have other gods."
00:42:12.33\00:42:15.20
Daniel said more
important to obey God than men,
00:42:15.23\00:42:18.13
even though
everybody else was bowing down
00:42:18.17\00:42:20.20
and everybody else was
breaking the commandments.
00:42:20.24\00:42:21.97
Daniel said, "I will not."
00:42:22.00\00:42:23.61
He was thrown in the lions' den.
00:42:23.64\00:42:26.34
Jesus came and
delivered him in the lions' den.
00:42:26.37\00:42:29.21
We're going to be
tested in the last days
00:42:29.24\00:42:30.91
on this commandment too.
00:42:30.95\00:42:32.75
So we need to be faithful.
00:42:32.78\00:42:34.82
Jesus asked,
00:42:34.85\00:42:36.18
"Why do you transgress
the commandment of God
00:42:36.22\00:42:38.55
because of your tradition?"
00:42:38.59\00:42:40.66
God does not want us
to break His commandments
00:42:40.69\00:42:43.22
in order to follow
some popular tradition.
00:42:43.26\00:42:46.09
All right, I need,
00:42:46.13\00:42:48.56
maybe I'll get
four or five volunteers.
00:42:48.60\00:42:51.87
Okay, we're gonna go out here.
00:42:51.90\00:42:53.23
Have you been up yet?
00:42:53.27\00:42:54.60
All right, you come on up?
00:42:54.64\00:42:55.97
Let me go here.
00:42:56.00\00:42:57.67
Well, you can come,
you had your hand up first.
00:42:57.71\00:43:02.08
Young man there.
00:43:02.11\00:43:03.75
You? Okay. You asked?
00:43:03.78\00:43:05.98
I see, how many is that, four?
00:43:06.01\00:43:07.98
All right you.
00:43:08.02\00:43:10.49
I'm sorry, that's
very indiscriminate.
00:43:10.52\00:43:12.22
I know, there's no
method to my madness
00:43:12.25\00:43:13.89
of how I pick young people.
00:43:13.92\00:43:15.59
You guys like birthday parties?
00:43:15.62\00:43:17.26
Yes. All right.
00:43:17.29\00:43:18.89
Did you know we're gonna
celebrate a birthday today?
00:43:18.93\00:43:22.60
So, if you want to get
into the spirit of the birthday,
00:43:22.63\00:43:26.67
I'm gonna need some help here.
00:43:26.70\00:43:29.30
All right, let's see.
00:43:29.34\00:43:31.97
Y'all need to put on some
of your birthday glasses here.
00:43:32.01\00:43:34.48
Hand them, you hand them out.
00:43:34.51\00:43:35.84
What's your name? Trey.
00:43:35.88\00:43:37.21
Trey? Yeah.
00:43:37.25\00:43:38.58
All right, I
need a birthday hat.
00:43:38.61\00:43:39.95
What's your name?
00:43:39.98\00:43:41.32
Giana. Giana?
00:43:41.35\00:43:42.68
You're gonna put
one of those on, Giana,
00:43:42.72\00:43:44.05
you know, put them on.
00:43:44.09\00:43:45.42
Put that under your chin.
00:43:45.45\00:43:46.79
All right, and
your name? Dennis.
00:43:46.82\00:43:48.16
Dennis?
00:43:48.19\00:43:50.46
Okay, you put on your glasses,
put on your birthday hat.
00:43:50.49\00:43:53.86
And when I say, when
I give you the signal,
00:43:53.90\00:43:55.66
I say Happy Birthday,
00:43:55.70\00:43:57.03
then you blow on
your little horns
00:43:57.07\00:43:58.40
and we're gonna
celebrate a birthday here.
00:43:58.43\00:44:01.77
Your glasses won't stay on?
00:44:01.80\00:44:03.14
Don't worry, you don't
have to wear your glasses
00:44:03.17\00:44:04.57
if they don't cooperate.
00:44:04.61\00:44:06.68
Pastor Doug know
once they had to,
00:44:06.71\00:44:08.44
here pass out some of
these little birthday whistles
00:44:08.48\00:44:11.15
so you give, make
sure everybody gets
00:44:11.18\00:44:12.51
one of birthday whistles here.
00:44:12.55\00:44:13.98
What else are we
missing for a birthday?
00:44:14.02\00:44:16.38
Cake. Need a cake?
00:44:16.42\00:44:19.15
Maybe, maybe
Mrs. Batchelor knows
00:44:19.19\00:44:20.86
where we can find a cake.
00:44:20.89\00:44:22.22
Okay, there it is.
00:44:24.86\00:44:27.86
And we got a balloon,
00:44:31.03\00:44:34.20
go and put the
cake on the table.
00:44:34.24\00:44:35.57
On the table? Yeah.
00:44:35.60\00:44:36.94
And here we go.
00:44:41.58\00:44:43.95
Hello. All right.
00:44:43.98\00:44:45.68
Hang on here.
00:44:48.22\00:44:49.55
What was your name again? Giana.
00:44:53.12\00:44:54.89
Giana, why don't
you come up here, Giana?
00:44:54.92\00:44:56.86
You can stand right here.
00:44:56.89\00:45:00.50
Squeeze real hard
right, get that candle lit,
00:45:00.53\00:45:03.20
All right.
00:45:03.23\00:45:04.57
When I say count to three
00:45:04.60\00:45:05.93
we're gonna sing
happy birthday to Giana.
00:45:05.97\00:45:08.90
How old are you?
00:45:08.94\00:45:10.27
Eight. You're eight?
00:45:10.31\00:45:11.64
Well today
you're gonna be seven.
00:45:11.67\00:45:13.01
And when's your
birthday? June 2nd.
00:45:13.04\00:45:16.44
June 2nd? All right.
00:45:16.48\00:45:20.02
So here we go.
00:45:20.05\00:45:22.38
Happy birthday to Giana, okay?
00:45:22.42\00:45:25.89
Happy birthday to you
00:45:25.92\00:45:29.72
Happy birthday to you.
00:45:29.76\00:45:33.86
Happy birthday, dear Giana.
00:45:33.90\00:45:38.80
Happy birthday to you.
00:45:38.83\00:45:43.14
Let's hope we
don't start a fire here.
00:45:50.78\00:45:52.98
Now you're not, you
look a little confused Giana.
00:45:53.01\00:45:55.52
No, I'm not.
00:45:55.55\00:45:56.89
You don't mind if we
change your birth day, do you?
00:45:56.92\00:45:58.82
Yeah. You do?
00:45:58.85\00:46:00.66
But we just celebrated,
00:46:00.69\00:46:02.02
now that we
celebrated your birthday
00:46:02.06\00:46:03.99
on the 19th of June,
00:46:04.03\00:46:05.36
your parents won't mind
if we move your birthday.
00:46:05.39\00:46:07.23
From now on it'll be the 19th
00:46:07.26\00:46:08.60
because we celebrated.
00:46:08.63\00:46:09.96
Can we do that? No.
00:46:10.00\00:46:11.33
But we just had a party.
00:46:14.50\00:46:17.11
Don't you want the cake?
00:46:17.14\00:46:18.47
She's giving.
00:46:23.04\00:46:25.21
She's given. I'm
very proud of her.
00:46:25.25\00:46:26.82
She's giving the right answer.
00:46:26.85\00:46:28.78
You can't just claim
someone else's birthday changes
00:46:28.82\00:46:32.59
because he's celebrated.
00:46:32.62\00:46:34.39
If people are celebrating,
00:46:34.42\00:46:36.32
if people change the
day that God has blessed,
00:46:36.36\00:46:38.76
does that change it?
00:46:38.79\00:46:40.60
No.
00:46:40.63\00:46:42.13
And so, but you are
going to get to keep the cape
00:46:42.16\00:46:44.00
and you get to
keep your real birthday.
00:46:44.03\00:46:46.17
Your parents will
be happy about that.
00:46:46.20\00:46:47.54
Okay, Mrs. Bat, you
want to blow out the candle?
00:46:47.57\00:46:49.87
I know you're eight years old.
00:46:49.90\00:46:51.81
Go ahead.
00:46:51.84\00:46:53.17
Come on, put your heart into it.
00:46:53.21\00:46:54.71
You may as well
spit on it. It's yours.
00:46:54.74\00:46:56.08
It doesn't matter. It's okay.
00:46:56.11\00:46:58.11
All right. Mrs.
Batchelor would wrap it up,
00:46:58.15\00:46:59.85
and if your parents let
you have it, you can have that.
00:46:59.88\00:47:01.75
Let's give them
all a hand. Okay?
00:47:01.78\00:47:03.12
Yeah, did you guys get
the point of my illustration?
00:47:06.55\00:47:09.26
Yes.
00:47:09.29\00:47:10.63
Just because everybody
gets together and we decide
00:47:10.66\00:47:13.03
we're going to pick
another day and celebrate a day.
00:47:13.06\00:47:15.36
You can't change the
day of Giana's birthday
00:47:15.40\00:47:17.70
and you can't change the day
00:47:17.73\00:47:19.50
that God had for the
birthday of the world.
00:47:19.53\00:47:22.90
What was the day that God picked
00:47:22.94\00:47:24.27
for the birthday of the world?
00:47:24.31\00:47:26.11
Seventh day he celebrated
with man, the creation.
00:47:26.14\00:47:29.91
And some of the world
are trying to change that,
00:47:29.94\00:47:32.08
you can't do that.
00:47:32.11\00:47:34.52
God says,
00:47:34.55\00:47:35.92
"My covenant I will not break
00:47:35.95\00:47:38.15
or alter the word that
has gone out of my lips."
00:47:38.19\00:47:41.86
God says, "I'm not
going to change my word."
00:47:41.89\00:47:44.79
Question six.
00:47:44.83\00:47:46.16
Did Jesus keep the
seventh day Sabbath?
00:47:46.19\00:47:49.06
What does the
Bible say? Absolutely.
00:47:49.10\00:47:52.10
"As his custom was, he
went into the synagogue,
00:47:52.13\00:47:54.57
that's the church,
on the Sabbath day,
00:47:54.60\00:47:56.74
and he stood up to read."
00:47:56.77\00:47:58.11
A custom is something
you do on a regular basis.
00:47:58.14\00:48:00.18
Ever since being a child,
00:48:00.21\00:48:01.91
Jesus went to church,
they closed the carpenter shop
00:48:01.94\00:48:04.68
every Sabbath.
00:48:04.71\00:48:06.05
He kept the Sabbath day.
00:48:06.08\00:48:07.95
"And when the Sabbath had come,
00:48:07.98\00:48:09.32
He began to teach in
the synagogue," Mark 6:2.
00:48:09.35\00:48:14.12
Shouldn't we keep
Sunday as the Sabbath
00:48:14.16\00:48:16.02
because Jesus rose on that day?
00:48:16.06\00:48:18.46
No. No?
00:48:18.49\00:48:20.43
Where's... Now did
Jesus rise on Sunday?
00:48:20.46\00:48:23.40
He did.
00:48:23.43\00:48:24.77
Is that a good
thing that He rose?
00:48:24.80\00:48:26.43
Amen.
00:48:26.47\00:48:27.80
But does it make a new Sabbath?
00:48:27.84\00:48:29.17
No. No.
00:48:29.20\00:48:30.54
Who knows what day of the week,
00:48:30.57\00:48:31.91
did Jesus have the last
supper with His disciples?
00:48:31.94\00:48:35.24
Friday, Thursday.
00:48:35.28\00:48:37.71
Thursday night,
technically after sundown,
00:48:37.75\00:48:39.91
it would have been Friday,
00:48:39.95\00:48:41.28
but it was Thursday night.
00:48:41.32\00:48:42.65
Then He was...
00:48:42.68\00:48:44.02
Does Thursday
become a new Sabbath?
00:48:44.05\00:48:45.39
No.
00:48:45.42\00:48:46.76
What day of the week did He die?
00:48:46.79\00:48:48.49
Friday.
00:48:48.52\00:48:49.86
Does Friday
become a new Sabbath?
00:48:49.89\00:48:51.53
Jesus did important
things on many days.
00:48:51.56\00:48:54.73
He even met with the
disciples once on Monday
00:48:54.76\00:48:56.70
after the resurrection,
00:48:56.73\00:48:58.07
but that doesn't
make it a new Sabbath.
00:48:58.10\00:49:00.24
There's only one day God
has blessed and sanctified.
00:49:00.27\00:49:02.77
And even the
apostles kept that day.
00:49:02.80\00:49:05.57
"Paul went in as his custom was,
00:49:05.61\00:49:07.44
and three Sabbath days
00:49:07.48\00:49:09.21
he reasoned with
them from the scriptures.
00:49:09.24\00:49:12.08
And he reasoned in the synagogue
00:49:12.11\00:49:13.92
every Sabbath,
not just for the Jews.
00:49:13.95\00:49:16.48
He persuaded Jews and Greeks,
00:49:16.52\00:49:18.39
the Jews and the Gentiles."
00:49:18.42\00:49:19.99
Paul was in
church every Sabbath,
00:49:20.02\00:49:22.29
Peter, Luke, the apostles,
00:49:22.32\00:49:24.36
they all kept the
seventh-day Sabbath.
00:49:24.39\00:49:27.56
So when the Jews
went out of the synagogue,
00:49:27.60\00:49:29.56
the Gentiles
asked that these words
00:49:29.60\00:49:31.47
might be preached to
them the next Sabbath,
00:49:31.50\00:49:34.10
and Jesus looking down at
the end of time in prophecy,
00:49:34.14\00:49:37.44
when you have to
run for your life,
00:49:37.47\00:49:39.31
because Christians
are being persecuted.
00:49:39.34\00:49:41.54
He said, "Pray
that your flight,"
00:49:41.58\00:49:43.61
that doesn't mean
your airplane flight.
00:49:43.65\00:49:45.25
It means fleeing for your life.
00:49:45.28\00:49:47.65
Pray that you
will not have to flee
00:49:47.68\00:49:49.22
in the winter or on the Sabbath.
00:49:49.25\00:49:51.65
Christ expected His
people that love Him
00:49:51.69\00:49:54.32
to be keeping the Sabbath
00:49:54.36\00:49:55.69
all the way down to the end.
00:49:55.72\00:49:57.66
He said, "If you turn away
your foot From the Sabbath,
00:49:57.69\00:50:00.56
from doing your
pleasure on My Holy Day,"
00:50:00.60\00:50:03.16
what does He call the Sabbath?
00:50:03.20\00:50:04.53
God says, "The
Sabbath is My Holy Day."
00:50:04.57\00:50:08.04
Jesus said, "The Son of
Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
00:50:08.07\00:50:11.31
Some people say,
00:50:11.34\00:50:12.67
"Well, Sunday
is the Lord's Day."
00:50:12.71\00:50:14.21
It doesn't say that
anywhere in the Bible.
00:50:14.24\00:50:16.51
Show me one place
in the Bible that says,
00:50:16.54\00:50:18.05
Sunday is the Lord's Day.
00:50:18.08\00:50:20.92
See, I'm being quiet.
00:50:20.95\00:50:22.28
Show me one place in the Bible
00:50:22.32\00:50:23.65
where we are commanded
to keep the first day holy.
00:50:23.69\00:50:27.06
No. No? The first day.
00:50:27.09\00:50:30.39
No, there's no place.
00:50:30.43\00:50:33.23
So if God didn't change
the seventh-day to Sabbath,
00:50:33.26\00:50:35.76
the Sunday, how did it happen?
00:50:35.80\00:50:37.70
Now let's look at
history real quick.
00:50:37.73\00:50:40.80
It says that this
beast power would come.
00:50:40.84\00:50:43.64
And he would think to
change times and laws.
00:50:43.67\00:50:47.24
And during the
time of a Roman Emperor
00:50:47.28\00:50:49.88
named Constantine.
00:50:49.91\00:50:51.25
I'll give you a little history.
00:50:51.28\00:50:52.61
You remember reading
00:50:52.65\00:50:53.98
where the Romans used
to kill the Christians.
00:50:54.02\00:50:55.78
They'd feed them to the lions.
00:50:55.82\00:50:57.92
They trampled them with
elephants in the Coliseum.
00:50:57.95\00:51:01.49
They'd be killed by gladiators.
00:51:01.52\00:51:03.32
It was terrible. A
lot of Christians died.
00:51:03.36\00:51:05.83
But the more they
persecuted the Christians,
00:51:05.86\00:51:08.46
the more the church grew.
00:51:08.50\00:51:09.83
They were very brave.
00:51:09.86\00:51:11.50
Constantine came
along, he was a politician.
00:51:11.53\00:51:13.67
He said, you know,
00:51:13.70\00:51:15.04
he was the emperor, the king.
00:51:15.07\00:51:16.47
He said, "The Christians
aren't really hurting anybody,"
00:51:16.50\00:51:18.34
and his own mother
became a Christian.
00:51:18.37\00:51:21.11
So he said,
00:51:21.14\00:51:22.48
"I've had a vision that
we're supposed to conquer
00:51:22.51\00:51:24.78
under the sign of the cross,
00:51:24.81\00:51:26.15
and I'm
legalizing Christianity."
00:51:26.18\00:51:28.65
And he just
declared to the whole nation,
00:51:28.68\00:51:30.42
he says, you can
all be Christians,
00:51:30.45\00:51:32.05
but he was really a pagan king,
00:51:32.09\00:51:34.06
he worshiped other gods.
00:51:34.09\00:51:36.12
And all of a sudden all these
pagans came into the church
00:51:36.16\00:51:38.96
and they started taking
pagan practices with them.
00:51:38.99\00:51:42.53
For example,
Constantine established Sunday
00:51:42.56\00:51:45.60
as a day of worship,
00:51:45.63\00:51:46.97
and here it is from
Encyclopedia Britannica,
00:51:47.00\00:51:49.10
page 654,
00:51:49.14\00:51:50.97
the earliest recognition
of the observance of Sunday
00:51:51.01\00:51:54.91
is a constitution
00:51:54.94\00:51:56.61
of Constantine in 321 AD.
00:51:56.64\00:52:01.38
He enacted an edict
00:52:01.42\00:52:02.82
saying that all
the courts of justice
00:52:02.85\00:52:04.35
and inhabitants of the towns
00:52:04.39\00:52:05.72
and workshops were
to be at rest on Sunday.
00:52:05.75\00:52:07.82
This is over 300
years after Jesus.
00:52:07.86\00:52:11.26
Men started changing or
trying to change the law of God.
00:52:11.29\00:52:15.33
Jesus said, "In
vain they worship Me,
00:52:15.36\00:52:18.80
teaching as doctrines
the commandments of men."
00:52:18.83\00:52:22.30
God doesn't want us
changing His commandments.
00:52:22.34\00:52:24.91
Now we know what day the Sabbath
00:52:24.94\00:52:26.44
is because the
Bible says in Luke 23:54,
00:52:26.47\00:52:29.64
"The day when
Jesus was crucified
00:52:29.68\00:52:31.31
was the preparation day,
00:52:31.35\00:52:33.08
and the Sabbath drew on.
00:52:33.11\00:52:35.65
And they returned and prepare
the spices and ointments,
00:52:35.68\00:52:38.75
and they rested the Sabbath day
according to the commandment."
00:52:38.79\00:52:42.06
You know, the disciples
of Jesus loved Jesus so much,
00:52:42.09\00:52:44.83
that even when they
were going to wrap His body
00:52:44.86\00:52:46.76
after He died in the tomb,
00:52:46.80\00:52:48.90
they said they weren't
going to do that on the Sabbath.
00:52:48.93\00:52:52.13
They would wait
till Sunday morning
00:52:52.17\00:52:53.50
because they knew Jesus
would not approve of them
00:52:53.54\00:52:55.64
doing that kind of work.
00:52:55.67\00:52:57.01
They thought that's
too much work for Sabbath.
00:52:57.04\00:52:58.91
We'll come back
Sunday after the Sabbath.
00:52:58.94\00:53:01.14
His disciples
thought it was so important.
00:53:01.18\00:53:03.68
They would not even
finish that labor of love
00:53:03.71\00:53:06.01
because they knew
that would displease Jesus.
00:53:06.05\00:53:08.65
So the first day of the week
00:53:08.68\00:53:10.02
they came back to
finish wrapping His body
00:53:10.05\00:53:11.72
and putting on the ointments,
00:53:11.75\00:53:13.79
and they came to the tomb
00:53:13.82\00:53:15.16
and praise the Lord, He rose.
00:53:15.19\00:53:16.62
So what's the day?
00:53:16.66\00:53:18.53
You got Friday,
sixth day, preparation day.
00:53:18.56\00:53:21.60
Sabbath day is
what we call Saturday,
00:53:21.63\00:53:23.73
first day when
He rose is Sunday.
00:53:23.77\00:53:26.94
After Jesus comes
will we keep the Sabbath?
00:53:26.97\00:53:29.90
Now we know Adam kept
it in the Garden of Eden.
00:53:29.94\00:53:33.31
Sabbath was made for man.
00:53:33.34\00:53:35.21
We know Moses and the
people of Israel kept it.
00:53:35.24\00:53:38.68
We know Jesus and
the apostles kept it,
00:53:38.71\00:53:40.72
but then you look in, it
tells us in Isaiah 66:22,
00:53:40.75\00:53:44.72
"For as the new
heavens and the new earth
00:53:44.75\00:53:46.82
which I will make will
remain before me, says the Lord,
00:53:46.86\00:53:49.86
so shall your descendants
and your name remain,
00:53:49.89\00:53:52.66
and it will come to pass
from one Sabbath to another."
00:53:52.69\00:53:56.53
Well, all flesh,
does it say all Jews?
00:53:56.56\00:53:59.97
All people come
and worship before Me.
00:54:00.00\00:54:03.34
How many want to go to heaven
00:54:03.37\00:54:04.71
and worship
before Jesus in heaven?
00:54:04.74\00:54:06.07
Spend a day with the King?
00:54:06.11\00:54:07.44
If you want to worship
before Him there in heaven,
00:54:07.48\00:54:09.74
maybe you should
start worshipping
00:54:09.78\00:54:11.11
before Him here, now.
00:54:11.15\00:54:13.05
Sabbath is called
The Holy Convocation.
00:54:13.08\00:54:15.18
That means it's a day
for us to come together
00:54:15.22\00:54:17.65
with Jesus to worship
corporately, collectively.
00:54:17.69\00:54:22.39
So do you love Jesus?
00:54:22.42\00:54:24.46
Do you want to keep
that seventh-day Sabbath?
00:54:24.49\00:54:26.63
Remember what our commandment...
00:54:26.66\00:54:28.00
What our memory verse
was, "Whoever therefore breaks
00:54:28.03\00:54:30.17
one of the least
of these commandments,
00:54:30.20\00:54:32.57
and teaches men so,
00:54:32.60\00:54:34.00
he will be called least
in the kingdom of heaven.
00:54:34.04\00:54:36.34
But whoever does
them and teaches them,
00:54:36.37\00:54:38.97
you know why Pastor
Doug talks about this?
00:54:39.01\00:54:40.84
Because Jesus said,
"If you even do and teach
00:54:40.88\00:54:43.55
the least of them,
00:54:43.58\00:54:44.91
you will be great in
the kingdom of heaven."
00:54:44.95\00:54:46.65
And Jesus said, "If you love Me,
00:54:46.68\00:54:48.18
you'll do" what?
00:54:48.22\00:54:49.88
"Keep My commandments."
00:54:49.92\00:54:51.25
I got a funny story
for you. I'll end with.
00:54:51.29\00:54:54.52
How many of you know
the American presidents?
00:54:54.56\00:54:56.79
You know most of them?
00:54:56.83\00:54:58.16
You're really good if
you know all, what are there?
00:54:58.19\00:54:59.69
Forty something
five of them now.
00:54:59.73\00:55:01.20
Forty five. Forty
five presidents, yeah.
00:55:01.23\00:55:04.80
Mrs. Batchelor and I
met maybe three of them.
00:55:04.83\00:55:08.60
Well, one was a vice
president. I take it back.
00:55:08.64\00:55:11.17
But I'll tell you later.
00:55:11.21\00:55:13.51
But, how many of you heard
00:55:13.54\00:55:15.74
of President
David Rice Atchison?
00:55:15.78\00:55:20.32
He was only
president for one day.
00:55:20.35\00:55:21.92
There's a
picture of his tombstone
00:55:21.95\00:55:24.95
where he's buried, says
President of the United States
00:55:24.99\00:55:28.16
for one day.
00:55:28.19\00:55:29.99
You know how that happened?
00:55:30.03\00:55:32.16
Because years ago,
00:55:32.19\00:55:33.73
when the term for President Polk
00:55:33.76\00:55:35.53
came to an end,
00:55:35.56\00:55:36.90
he was the 11th president.
00:55:36.93\00:55:38.70
It ended on a Saturday.
00:55:38.73\00:55:42.17
President Zachary Taylor
00:55:42.20\00:55:43.64
did not want to be
inaugurated on Sunday
00:55:43.67\00:55:45.97
because he thought
Sunday was the Sabbath.
00:55:46.01\00:55:47.41
He says, "That's
too much activity
00:55:47.44\00:55:49.31
and fanfare for the Sabbath day.
00:55:49.34\00:55:50.88
I want to rest that day.
00:55:50.91\00:55:52.25
I'll get inaugurated on Monday."
00:55:52.28\00:55:53.95
Well, government
got together and says
00:55:53.98\00:55:55.35
we can't have a day
without a president.
00:55:55.38\00:55:57.05
We've got to have
someone be president.
00:55:57.09\00:55:59.39
Well, since the real president,
vice president were retiring,
00:55:59.42\00:56:01.89
the next person in line
00:56:01.92\00:56:03.53
was the president pro tem
00:56:03.56\00:56:05.09
who was the chief of the Senate,
00:56:05.13\00:56:06.93
David Rice Atchison.
00:56:06.96\00:56:09.46
He was told you're going
to be president for 24 hours.
00:56:09.50\00:56:13.44
But the sad thing was
he was so busy Saturday
00:56:13.47\00:56:16.40
doing all the final work
00:56:16.44\00:56:17.97
for the end of
President Polk's term,
00:56:18.01\00:56:20.58
legislation and writing
bills and sending messages
00:56:20.61\00:56:22.94
and doing all the
tying up the loose ends.
00:56:22.98\00:56:24.51
He worked and worked.
00:56:24.55\00:56:25.88
He went to sleep Saturday night.
00:56:25.91\00:56:27.85
He slept for 24 hours.
00:56:27.88\00:56:32.12
And he snored through
his entire presidency.
00:56:32.15\00:56:37.89
For years, he
told people he said,
00:56:37.93\00:56:39.93
I know I was
president for one day,
00:56:39.96\00:56:42.16
but I'll make you a promise.
00:56:42.20\00:56:44.10
I had the most honest
presidential administration
00:56:44.13\00:56:46.97
of any president,
00:56:47.00\00:56:48.80
because he was sleeping,
he couldn't do anything wrong.
00:56:48.84\00:56:51.81
How sad to be
president for a day and miss it,
00:56:51.84\00:56:54.34
because you snored.
00:56:54.38\00:56:56.24
Some people are
missing a day with the King
00:56:56.28\00:56:59.61
that He's picked for you.
00:56:59.65\00:57:01.35
Do you want to keep that day?
00:57:01.38\00:57:02.72
You know, the
most important decision
00:57:29.91\00:57:31.58
a young person can make
00:57:31.61\00:57:32.95
is that decision to follow Jesus
00:57:32.98\00:57:34.95
and begin that
amazing adventure to eternity.
00:57:34.98\00:57:37.92

so excited to tell you
00:57:37.95\00:57:39.42
