It's great that you could all join us 00:00:56.35\00:00:58.42 to meet with the King. We're about to open the Sabbath. 00:00:58.45\00:01:01.42 Come and join in with our worship time together. 00:01:01.46\00:01:04.09 Hello Auntie Cecily. It's good to see you here. 00:01:04.13\00:01:06.73 Hello Auntie Nat. 00:01:06.76\00:01:08.10 Hello children. It's great to see you here too, that you could 00:01:08.13\00:01:11.13 come and help us welcome the King. Yes Elijah. 00:01:11.17\00:01:14.50 Auntie Nat you forgot about Teddy. 00:01:14.54\00:01:16.20 Aw. Welcome Teddy. It's great to have you along as well. 00:01:16.24\00:01:19.74 Auntie Cecily, could you please say a prayer for us. 00:01:19.77\00:01:23.28 Yes. Dear Father, thank you for keeping us safe all through the 00:01:23.31\00:01:27.68 week. And thank you that we can spend some special time 00:01:27.72\00:01:30.59 with you on this Sabbath. In Jesus' name Amen. Amen. 00:01:30.62\00:01:35.56 Do you know this is a great time to reflect on our week and to 00:01:35.59\00:01:39.53 see what God has blessed us with Kate, you've got something for 00:01:39.56\00:01:43.47 us that God has done for you this past week. 00:01:43.50\00:01:45.73 Yes. One day I lost something that was really important to me 00:01:45.80\00:01:48.70 and I prayed about it for a few days and then I found it. 00:01:48.74\00:01:53.94 That's great Kate. Thanks for sharing that with us. Auntie 00:01:53.98\00:01:58.28 Cecily you've got something to share with us as well. Something 00:01:58.31\00:02:02.05 Later on in our Bible study we're going to learn about an 00:02:02.08\00:02:06.79 angel called Lucifer and how he rebelled against God. Lucifer 00:02:06.82\00:02:11.99 made a choice between choosing to worship God or himself. His 00:02:12.03\00:02:17.47 obedience was tested. We must also make a choice about who we 00:02:17.50\00:02:22.40 worship. The Sabbath identifies the true God and His kingship. 00:02:22.47\00:02:27.81 God is the King of the Sabbath as He created it in the first 00:02:27.84\00:02:32.51 place. If we forget the Sabbath it's easier for us to forget the 00:02:32.55\00:02:37.22 Creator King. To choose to worship on the seventh day 00:02:37.25\00:02:41.39 Sabbath is to accept the authority of the King. 00:02:41.42\00:02:44.56 Exodus 31:3 tells that the keeping of the Sabbath is a sign 00:02:44.59\00:02:50.83 between us and God to show that we love, obey and worship Him 00:02:50.87\00:02:57.34 only. Are you going to worship God or man? God. God loves us 00:02:57.37\00:03:02.81 so much that he set aside the Sabbath day so that we could 00:03:02.84\00:03:08.25 spend the day with Him, a day with the King! 00:03:08.28\00:03:11.65 Praise God! Thanks Auntie Cecily for sharing that with us. God is 00:03:11.69\00:03:16.89 good. Do you know another way that we can worship God on the 00:03:16.93\00:03:21.20 Sabbath is to worship God in song. We've got Pastor Rick here 00:03:21.23\00:03:25.47 to do that with us. Thanks Pastor Rick. 00:03:25.50\00:03:28.37 Hi girls and boys. We're going to sing He's Able, 00:03:28.40\00:03:31.24 do you know the song? 00:03:31.27\00:03:32.61 Can we sing it again? 00:04:17.29\00:04:18.62 Pastor Rick can we sing books of the Bible? 00:04:59.73\00:05:03.57 Oh, that's another good one kind of a test let's give it a go 00:05:03.60\00:05:10.01 Pastor Rick can we please sing Seek Ye First? 00:06:23.61\00:06:27.25 Yes, Do you know this one? 00:06:27.28\00:06:29.05 Thanks Pastor Rick. It's great to praise God in song. Elijah we 00:07:16.36\00:07:20.70 discovered a blessing this week at Sunnyside. Will you share 00:07:20.74\00:07:24.31 that with the children. Yes. Okay, let's go have a look. 00:07:24.37\00:07:27.94 ¤ ¤ Hello boys and girls. My name is 00:07:27.98\00:07:35.22 Dr. John Hammond. Welcome to the Australian home of Mrs. Ellen 00:07:35.28\00:07:40.36 White. Come with me. I've got some stories to tell you. 00:07:40.39\00:07:43.99 Well here we are sitting in the lounge room at Sunnyside and 00:07:44.03\00:07:57.64 this was the house that Ellen built well over 100 years ago. 00:07:57.67\00:08:02.81 One morning she was in the kitchen and she heard a noise 00:08:02.84\00:08:10.62 It was a banging, cracking noise and she thought I wonder what 00:08:10.69\00:08:17.26 that is? And she went outside and there was one of her workers 00:08:17.29\00:08:23.53 with a stock whip. Now this stock whip is quite long and it 00:08:23.57\00:08:27.17 makes a huge banging, cracking noise and he was using it on a 00:08:27.20\00:08:36.11 horse. The horse was doing nothing wrong but he had lost 00:08:37.31\00:08:40.35 his temper and he was belting the horse and he didn't realize 00:08:40.42\00:08:46.45 that Ellen was tippy toe around the corner. And she saw him and 00:08:46.49\00:08:54.10 she said, stop, stop, don't hurt the animal. And he stopped, whip 00:08:54.13\00:09:01.67 in his hand. Oh he was so embarrassed and he tried to hide 00:09:01.70\00:09:07.11 it behind his back. But it was too late because Ellen had seen 00:09:07.18\00:09:11.45 him. And she said, I want to tell you something young man. 00:09:11.48\00:09:16.69 I had a dream. I was down in Tasmania, which is hundreds of 00:09:16.75\00:09:22.26 kilometers away, and I dreamed about you. I saw you and you 00:09:22.29\00:09:27.10 were driving a team of horses and you had this whip and you 00:09:27.13\00:09:31.90 lost your temper, and you started to belt the horses 00:09:31.93\00:09:36.27 and you know what happened in that dream. I'm going to remind 00:09:36.30\00:09:40.81 you because you will remember. A man suddenly appeared on the 00:09:40.84\00:09:46.08 road, a tall man, and he stopped like that. He grabbed the bridle 00:09:46.11\00:09:51.35 that holds the horses head and he stopped the horses and he 00:09:51.39\00:09:56.59 said young man I want to talk to you. He said have you ever heard 00:09:56.62\00:10:01.16 the story of Balaam, the prophet in the Bible who belted his 00:10:01.20\00:10:06.63 donkey. You've heard that story haven't you? I'm sure you've all 00:10:06.67\00:10:10.24 heard that story. He said, I want to write down your name 00:10:10.27\00:10:14.88 and he took out a notebook, he wrote down the boy's name. That 00:10:14.91\00:10:21.35 man was an angel. And when he finished with the boy he said I 00:10:21.38\00:10:28.76 don't want you ever to do this again. And that was the end of 00:10:28.79\00:10:36.16 the dream that Ellen had and you know it had gone from her mind 00:10:36.20\00:10:42.64 until she heard the crack of the whip and when she went out she 00:10:42.67\00:10:50.38 spoke to him. She said do you know that God is saying to you 00:10:50.45\00:10:56.02 if you are not kind to animals you won't be kind to other 00:10:56.05\00:11:01.62 human beings and I am going to make sure that you never ever 00:11:01.66\00:11:08.00 work with any of my animals again. You know she had cows 00:11:08.06\00:11:14.40 she had dogs and she knew all the cows' names, she knew the 00:11:14.44\00:11:18.97 horses' names and she knew that the best way to get the best out 00:11:19.01\00:11:24.91 of an animal was to be kind. Do you all have pets at home? What 00:11:24.95\00:11:29.92 have you got? I got a dog. A dog. Guinea Pigs and Chickens 00:11:29.95\00:11:34.86 Anything better than a dog? 00:11:34.89\00:11:36.52 A cat. Anything more exciting. Two dogs. Two dogs and a cat. 00:11:36.56\00:11:44.80 I actually had a pet leopard 00:11:44.83\00:11:47.24 when I was a boy and it was lovely. It would 00:11:47.27\00:11:49.04 sit on your shoulder and I had a pet snake and I had a pet 00:11:49.07\00:11:57.35 spider and I think Ellen was so kind to animals. This young man 00:11:58.25\00:12:03.75 he never ever worked for Ellen again because she said if you 00:12:04.32\00:12:10.56 cannot be kind to animals you cannot work and be kind to other 00:12:10.59\00:12:17.63 people. So there's a lesson here There are many characteristics 00:12:17.67\00:12:24.01 but be kind to animals. And if you're kind to animals you'll be 00:12:24.04\00:12:30.28 kind to people. Thank you. ¤ ¤ 00:12:30.31\00:12:34.45 Hi boys and girls. Happy Sabbath Welcome to our Bible study. 00:12:34.48\00:12:37.55 If you haven't got your Bibles ready yet, go and get them now 00:12:37.59\00:12:40.99 so you can follow along with us. Auntie Cecily would you like to 00:12:41.02\00:12:44.39 say a prayer please before we open the word. 00:12:44.43\00:12:46.70 Dear God, thank you for our Bibles. Please be with us as we 00:12:46.73\00:12:53.27 study your word. And please help the boys and girls to understand 00:12:53.34\00:12:57.01 what we read today. In Jesus' name Amen, Amen. 00:12:57.04\00:13:01.74 Boys and girls do you remember what we spoke about last Sabbath 00:13:01.78\00:13:04.68 About Adam and Eve being kicked out of the garden. 00:13:04.71\00:13:07.58 Right Dee. They had to leave the garden. Who tricked them? 00:13:07.62\00:13:11.39 Satan. Satan tricked them. He was the serpent, Satan. We're 00:13:11.42\00:13:13.79 going to study in our Bibles about Satan and why he was cast 00:13:13.82\00:13:18.99 out of heaven and why he's here on this earth causing so much 00:13:19.03\00:13:22.73 trouble. Liam, you're going to do our first reading today. 00:13:22.76\00:13:26.63 Could you read Ezekiel 28:14-15 please. 00:13:26.67\00:13:31.51 You were the anointed cherub who covers. I established you 00:13:31.57\00:13:37.45 You were on the holy mountain of God. You walked back and 00:13:37.48\00:13:43.22 forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in your 00:13:43.25\00:13:49.16 ways from the day you were created till iniquity 00:13:49.19\00:13:53.40 was found in you. 00:13:54.23\00:13:55.56 Mmm. So Satan was an angel who had a very exalted position in 00:13:55.60\00:13:58.70 heaven. He was the leader of the angels. The text we just 00:13:58.73\00:14:02.60 read said he was perfect. He was next to Christ and was 00:14:02.64\00:14:06.44 highly honored by God. Satan was full of wisdom and he was very 00:14:06.47\00:14:11.48 beautiful. I'm wondering Ella, can you please read for us in 00:14:11.51\00:14:16.48 Isaiah 14:12. 00:14:16.52\00:14:20.46 How you have fallen from heaven O Lucifer son of the morning 00:14:20.49\00:14:24.79 How you are cut down to the ground you who 00:14:24.83\00:14:28.00 weakened the nations. 00:14:28.03\00:14:29.86 So what does that verse tell us? What was Satan's name while he 00:14:29.90\00:14:34.00 was in heaven? Lucifer. It was Lucifer. I wonder why Lucifer's 00:14:34.04\00:14:38.47 name changed. Nick, can you please read for us 00:14:38.51\00:14:41.04 Isaiah 14:13-14 please. 00:14:41.08\00:14:45.95 For you have said in your heart I will ascend into heaven. 00:14:45.98\00:14:50.99 I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will also sit on 00:14:51.02\00:14:55.02 the mount of congregation on the farther side to the north. 00:14:55.06\00:14:59.06 will ascend above the heights of the clouds. 00:14:59.09\00:15:01.73 I will be like the most high. 00:15:01.76\00:15:03.77 Oh, sounds like he had the "I" disease. So Lucifer became 00:15:03.87\00:15:08.20 proud and started thinking only of himself. He became unhappy 00:15:08.27\00:15:12.04 with the position that God gave him in heaven. He wanted to be 00:15:12.07\00:15:15.84 like Christ and have His position. He was very jealous. 00:15:15.88\00:15:19.88 God knew what happening. Can we hide anything from God? No. No 00:15:19.91\00:15:23.52 He knows everything. The angels pleaded with Lucifer to stop 00:15:23.55\00:15:27.12 being selfish and thinking only of himself and to start 00:15:27.16\00:15:30.86 worshipping God as the supreme ruler and accept Christ's 00:15:30.89\00:15:34.96 special position. But this made Lucifer even more determined 00:15:35.00\00:15:39.30 to continue to sow the seeds of discontent. Lucifer complained 00:15:39.33\00:15:43.71 to the other angels how unfair God was. He was very unhappy 00:15:43.74\00:15:48.18 about God's rules. Lucifer worked in secret spreading his 00:15:48.21\00:15:51.98 discontent and doubt to the other angels about God's love. 00:15:52.01\00:15:56.28 God bore long with Lucifer. Lucifer could have gone any time 00:15:56.32\00:16:00.52 and repented to God and God would have forgiven him but 00:16:00.56\00:16:05.43 Lucifer's pride got in the way. Even when he deceived many 00:16:05.46\00:16:09.86 angels to come onto his side. He told them they had gone far 00:16:09.90\00:16:15.60 too far and that they would not be forgiven by God. Was that a 00:16:15.64\00:16:20.21 lie? It was a big lie because God would have forgiven them 00:16:20.24\00:16:24.75 if they had said they were sorry and they had repented. I want us 00:16:24.78\00:16:29.28 to read our memory verse together in 1 John 1:9. It's a 00:16:29.32\00:16:33.99 very important verse that tells us about how much God loves us. 00:16:34.06\00:16:39.93 Have you got that there? Let's read that together. If we will 00:16:39.96\00:16:45.73 confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins 00:16:45.80\00:16:51.54 and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So God will 00:16:51.57\00:16:55.84 forgive us if we're truly sorry. Isn't that wonderful. 00:16:55.88\00:17:00.08 But Lucifer was so mysterious and so clever in his deception 00:17:00.12\00:17:03.92 that at times even the angels were confused at what Lucifer 00:17:03.95\00:17:08.89 was doing. But let's read what the result of all this was. Kate 00:17:08.92\00:17:11.76 you've got Revelation 12:7 for us to read please. 00:17:11.79\00:17:14.86 And war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought 00:17:14.90\00:17:21.47 with the dragon and the dragon and his angels fought. 00:17:21.50\00:17:25.54 Mmm. So there was a war. So who do you think Michael was 00:17:25.57\00:17:30.61 that he was fighting against. God and Jesus, yeah. So there 00:17:30.65\00:17:35.95 was war between Jesus and the good angels and Lucifer or the 00:17:35.98\00:17:40.52 dragon and the angels that chose to follow Lucifer. Nothing like 00:17:40.56\00:17:45.06 this had ever happened in heaven before because heaven was 00:17:45.09\00:17:49.00 perfect. Let's look at our Torch Light, Mrs. White's writings and 00:17:49.03\00:17:53.97 see what she can shine on that verse for us. Sarah, you have 00:17:54.00\00:17:58.47 that for us. Can you read it? 00:17:58.51\00:18:01.58 Satan was warring against the law of God because he was 00:18:01.61\00:18:06.25 ambitions to exalt himself and unwilling to submit to the 00:18:06.31\00:18:10.92 authority of God's Son, heaven's great commander. 00:18:10.95\00:18:13.52 Mmm. So Satan had gotten to a place where he didn't want to 00:18:13.56\00:18:18.29 follow God's law anymore. So what did God do with Lucifer and 00:18:18.33\00:18:22.23 the disharmony that was going on in heaven. Ben, you're going 00:18:22.26\00:18:26.13 to read that for us in Revelation 12:9. 00:18:26.17\00:18:31.51 So the great dragon was cast out that serpent of old called the 00:18:31.54\00:18:35.21 devil and Satan who deceives the whole world. He was cast to the 00:18:35.24\00:18:39.88 earth and his angels were cast out with him. 00:18:39.91\00:18:41.72 Mmm. So what did we just read? Ben what were some of the names 00:18:41.75\00:18:45.52 that were given to Lucifer? 00:18:45.55\00:18:47.76 Um Satan, the devil, the dragon. 00:18:47.82\00:18:51.39 Mmm and the serpent. Yes. And where was he cast to? Earth. 00:18:51.46\00:18:55.50 Earth. So is that why he was in that tree tricking Adam and Eve? 00:18:55.56\00:19:00.00 Yeah. Do you think God was very sad when Lucifer left? He was 00:19:00.04\00:19:04.41 because a lot of those angels that left heaven, they were 00:19:04.44\00:19:08.51 their friends and they were really sad that they had to go. 00:19:08.54\00:19:12.78 But Satan rebelled against God. But you know what, God would 00:19:12.81\00:19:17.29 have forgiven him if he had repented but Satan chose not to. 00:19:17.32\00:19:21.86 So why did God not just zap Satan and destroy him so sin 00:19:21.89\00:19:25.19 wouldn't enter the earth? Auntie Cecily you've got that for us in 00:19:25.23\00:19:28.50 1 John 4:8. 00:19:28.53\00:19:29.96 He who does not love does not know God for God is love. 00:19:30.00\00:19:35.14 Mmm. So the government of God is based on love. If God had 00:19:35.17\00:19:39.54 immediately destroyed Satan, some would have served God in 00:19:39.57\00:19:44.05 fear rather than love. God had to let sin run its course to 00:19:44.08\00:19:49.55 expose Satan's true nature and the terrible consequences of sin 00:19:49.58\00:19:53.42 When Jesus came to this earth to die for our sins, did Jesus 00:19:53.46\00:19:57.69 win the war for us? He did. He won the war for us. Satan at the 00:19:57.73\00:20:02.16 end of time will eventually be destroyed. But until then Jesus 00:20:02.20\00:20:06.57 asks us to do something to protect us from temptation. 00:20:06.60\00:20:10.51 So let's read what Jesus asks us to do to protect us from Satan 00:20:10.57\00:20:14.91 while he roams this earth. And Sarah, you had that verse for us 00:20:14.94\00:20:19.28 in Ephesians 6:11. 00:20:19.31\00:20:24.62 Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand 00:20:24.65\00:20:28.29 against the wiles of the devil. 00:20:28.32\00:20:29.72 Right. So what does God ask us to do? Put on the armor of God. 00:20:29.76\00:20:34.56 Okay. Auntie Cecily you've just got a little bit for us to read 00:20:34.60\00:20:39.40 in Ephesians 6:14-16. 00:20:39.43\00:20:46.64 Stand therefore having gird your waist with truth, having put on 00:20:46.68\00:20:51.91 the breastplate of righteousness and having shod your feet with 00:20:51.95\00:20:57.29 the preparation of the gospel of peace. Above all taking the 00:20:57.32\00:21:02.39 shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the 00:21:02.42\00:21:07.43 fiery darts of the wicked one. 00:21:07.46\00:21:09.96 Mmm. So let's have a look at that on our felt board. Auntie 00:21:11.17\00:21:13.27 Cecily, could you put those pieces of the armor on for us. 00:21:13.30\00:21:16.40 The waist of truth means we need to wrap the truth around us. 00:21:16.47\00:21:21.08 Thanks Auntie Cecily. And the breastplate of righteousness 00:21:21.11\00:21:25.35 means that when we ask God for forgiveness of our sins He's 00:21:25.38\00:21:29.58 really going to forgive it and we need to believe it. The feet 00:21:29.62\00:21:34.69 we've shodden our feet with the gospel, means wearing our gospel 00:21:34.72\00:21:39.73 shoes, helps us have sure footing in our walk with Jesus. 00:21:39.76\00:21:45.50 And the shield of faith protects us from the fiery darts from 00:21:45.53\00:21:49.94 Satan. Can we name some of them? What are some of the things up 00:21:49.97\00:21:54.31 here that Satan's throwing? Hatred, pride, cheating yes. 00:21:54.34\00:22:00.52 Jealousy, pride yeah. We want to deflect these with our shield 00:22:00.55\00:22:06.62 don't we? Now Ella, you have a reading for us in Ephesians 6 00:22:06.65\00:22:11.73 verses 17-18. 00:22:11.76\00:22:14.00 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit 00:22:14.03\00:22:18.27 which is the word of God: praying always with prayer and 00:22:18.30\00:22:23.07 supplication in the Spirit being watchful to this end with 00:22:23.10\00:22:27.88 all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. 00:22:27.91\00:22:32.01 Aw, thank you. Auntie Cecily can you put those final two pieces 00:22:32.08\00:22:36.18 on for us so we have the helmet of salvation which protects our 00:22:36.22\00:22:40.49 minds and we have the sword of the Spirit, which is the word. 00:22:40.52\00:22:46.26 We need to read our Bibles every day. So that's the whole armor 00:22:46.29\00:22:51.97 of God. Thank you boys and girls for joining us today in reading 00:22:52.03\00:22:56.37 the Bible. It was great to have you along. Ask the Lord every 00:22:56.40\00:23:00.18 day to help you put on the whole armor of God. God loves 00:23:00.21\00:23:03.95 you and He wants to help you in every way He can to enable you 00:23:03.98\00:23:07.98 to walk with Him and protect you from Satan's snares. In our 00:23:08.02\00:23:11.69 Bible study next Sabbath we are going to learn about two boys 00:23:11.72\00:23:16.12 and how their obedience affected their own lives and the lives of 00:23:16.16\00:23:20.53 those around them. 00:23:20.56\00:23:24.07 When we spend time with God on the Sabbath we get to know Him 00:23:24.10\00:23:27.74 better and grow spiritually as Christians. One way to get to 00:23:27.77\00:23:31.87 get to know Him is to read our Bibles. Our Bibles teach us how 00:23:31.91\00:23:34.41 to live for Jesus. We want to encourage you to read your Bible 00:23:34.44\00:23:40.22 not only on the Sabbath day but every day. Auntie Nat would you 00:23:40.25\00:23:45.29 tell us about the devotional that relates to our study today. 00:23:45.32\00:23:49.26 Yes I'd love to. We have a seven day devotional study 00:23:49.29\00:23:55.06 available on Satan's Fall. This is the subject that we studied 00:23:55.10\00:24:00.24 together today. The devotional expands on what we have just 00:24:00.27\00:24:03.41 learned. You can download it free from our website which is 00:24:03.47\00:24:07.51 www.adaywiththeking.com. This will help you to read your Bible 00:24:07.54\00:24:11.55 every day and to spend time getting to know God. Auntie 00:24:11.58\00:24:14.22 Cecily, shall we go over our memory verse we learnt today 00:24:14.25\00:24:18.25 in our study. 00:24:18.29\00:24:19.62 Yes.
