Hello there, Happy Sabbath, come
on in. We're about to meet with
00:00:01.36\00:00:07.14
the King.
00:00:07.17\00:00:09.94
¤ ¤
00:00:09.97\00:00:56.28
Hello, I'm Auntie Nat. It's
great that you could all join
00:00:56.32\00:00:58.42
us to meet with the King. We're
about to open the Sabbath. Come
00:00:58.45\00:01:02.02
and join our worship time
together. Hello Auntie Cecily.
00:01:02.06\00:01:05.79
It's great to see you here with
us. Hello children. It's great
00:01:05.83\00:01:09.30
that you could come and worship
the King. And Hello Teddy, I'm
00:01:09.33\00:01:13.20
glad that you could come as well
Auntie Cecily. Would you like to
00:01:13.23\00:01:17.04
say a prayer for us please
before we worship the King?
00:01:17.07\00:01:19.81
Yes. Dear Father, thank you for
the many blessings that you have
00:01:19.84\00:01:24.58
given us all through the
week. And thank you for the
00:01:24.61\00:01:27.58
opportunity to spend the Sabbath
with you. In Jesus' name Amen.
00:01:27.62\00:01:32.12
Amen. Do you know this is a
great time that we can reflect
00:01:32.15\00:01:36.83
on our blessings that God has
sent us this past week. Elijah,
00:01:36.86\00:01:41.50
have you got something
that God as done for you?
00:01:41.53\00:01:44.43
Yes. Well we were going to
the beach with our friends for a
00:01:44.47\00:01:49.90
picnic and then
00:01:49.94\00:01:51.87
I burnt my finger in hot water.
Then we went to the beach and
00:01:51.94\00:01:57.05
I was praying while in the
bathroom that God would heal
00:01:57.08\00:02:00.68
my finger so I would have a fun
day. Then while we were going
00:02:00.72\00:02:04.42
for a walk on the beach my
pain just eased up like that.
00:02:04.45\00:02:08.96
Thanks Elijah for sharing that
with us. Auntie Cecily you have
00:02:09.02\00:02:12.96
something to share with
us as well about the Sabbath.
00:02:12.99\00:02:16.93
Just as it's a blessing to be
obedient as we will discuss in
00:02:16.97\00:02:21.10
our study later on, so it's
a blessing to keep the Sabbath.
00:02:21.14\00:02:26.07
God blessed the Sabbath day
and sanctified it. We've studied
00:02:26.14\00:02:31.25
about that in Genesis 2. So if
God placed a special blessing on
00:02:31.28\00:02:37.55
the Sabbath, we will be blessed
if we keep it. Isaiah 58:13-14
00:02:37.59\00:02:43.83
tells us just that. The Sabbath
is to be a delight, not a
00:02:43.86\00:02:49.80
drudgery. God loves us so much
that He sent His son Jesus to
00:02:49.83\00:02:55.80
leave his heavenly home and
to dwell on this earth and to
00:02:55.84\00:03:01.01
teach us how to live. Jesus died
on the cross for our sins so
00:03:01.04\00:03:04.08
that we can live eternally with
Him in heaven. What an amazing
00:03:04.15\00:03:10.62
thing Jesus did for us. Spending
the Sabbath with Him and getting
00:03:11.02\00:03:16.06
to know Him is a way we can
express our love and gratitude
00:03:16.09\00:03:20.16
for what He did for us. And if
that's our attitude, the Sabbath
00:03:20.20\00:03:24.90
will be a
blessing and a delight.
00:03:24.93\00:03:27.14
Praise God. Thank you Auntie
00:03:27.17\00:03:28.50
Cecily, that's terrific. Do you
another way that we can worship
00:03:30.04\00:03:35.11
God is in song and we have
Pastor Rick here. Thanks Pastor
00:03:35.14\00:03:38.88
Rick.
00:03:38.91\00:03:40.25
Hi boys and girls. We're
going to sing another song about
00:03:40.28\00:03:42.72
the Sabbath called My
Sabbaths You Shall Keep.
00:03:42.75\00:03:48.72
Pastor Rick may we
sing Soon and Very Soon?
00:04:41.98\00:04:45.08
Great song, let's try it.
00:04:45.11\00:04:48.15
Pastor Rick can we please
sing Jesus Name Above All Names?
00:05:47.04\00:05:53.31
Yes.
00:05:53.35\00:05:54.68
Again.
00:06:26.51\00:06:27.85
Thanks Pastor Rick. It's
great to praise God in song.
00:06:52.37\00:07:02.28
We discovered a blessing at
Sunnyside this week. Kate would
00:07:02.32\00:07:05.65
you like to share that
with the children at home. Yes.
00:07:05.69\00:07:08.02
Okay, let's go.
00:07:08.06\00:07:10.09
Hello boys and girls. My name
is Dr. John Hammond. Welcome to
00:07:10.13\00:07:20.57
the Australian home of
Mrs. Ellen White. Come with me.
00:07:20.64\00:07:24.47
I've got some
stories to tell you.
00:07:24.51\00:07:26.57
Ellen loved living at Sunnyside.
This was her favorite place.
00:07:35.12\00:07:40.19
It had taken a long time to
build but you know she got many
00:07:40.22\00:07:45.56
invitations to go away and
preach even though she was very
00:07:45.59\00:07:50.03
weak. God gave her strength
every time she got up in the
00:07:50.07\00:07:54.50
front. Didn't have planes,
didn't have buses, didn't have
00:07:54.54\00:07:59.37
cars but she used to go by train
One day she caught the train
00:07:59.41\00:08:04.51
from Door Creek, sent to
Sidney and all the way down to
00:08:04.55\00:08:09.62
Melbourne It took her all day
and night. And the people at the
00:08:09.65\00:08:14.29
North Fitzroy church were so
excited because Mrs. White was
00:08:14.32\00:08:18.59
coming. They got there early.
There were the moms and dads,
00:08:18.63\00:08:22.70
there were the boys and girls at
the front and when the time came
00:08:22.73\00:08:26.74
to start the meeting the elders
were dressed up looking rather
00:08:26.77\00:08:32.31
important. Black coats and their
Bibles under their arms and they
00:08:32.34\00:08:39.15
all marched up and they stood
on the platform and everybody
00:08:39.18\00:08:46.12
was looking. Where's Elle. She
wasn't there. The train was late
00:08:46.15\00:08:53.09
and the elder said well
brothers and sisters and boys
00:08:53.13\00:08:55.63
and girls. Ah Ellen's not here
yet and she won't be here for
00:08:55.66\00:09:03.94
two hours so we're going
to have to sing some songs.
00:09:03.97\00:09:06.27
And they sang every song they
could think of. Somebody told
00:09:06.31\00:09:10.85
some stories and they were
looking at their watches and
00:09:10.88\00:09:15.32
Ellen hadn't come. Finally the
train arrived and in this came
00:09:15.35\00:09:22.79
this little lady in black. So
small. And she stood up to speak
00:09:22.82\00:09:27.53
Everybody went quiet. They
had never heard her voice before
00:09:27.56\00:09:35.07
but when she stood up her eyes
were looking like that. And she
00:09:35.10\00:09:42.41
leaned forward, she opened
her mouth and no sound came out.
00:09:42.44\00:09:48.68
Now if I got up in church in
front of you, I open my mouth
00:09:48.72\00:09:54.89
to speak and no sound, it would
be very embarrassing. And people
00:09:54.92\00:09:58.29
were saying what's wrong
with Ellen? Is she sick? Is she
00:09:58.33\00:10:03.67
sick? Is she having a fit?
And she started to look around.
00:10:03.70\00:10:09.70
She tried to speak again.
Not a sound. She was looking for
00:10:09.74\00:10:15.64
somebody. Then she turned around
and she looked at the five men
00:10:15.68\00:10:22.05
behind her and the one on the
end when she saw him, for the
00:10:22.08\00:10:28.42
first time she spoke. You
know what she said? The most
00:10:28.49\00:10:33.23
frightening words that man
had ever heard. She said what is
00:10:33.26\00:10:37.07
that man doing here? He went all
red, he rushed off the stage, up
00:10:37.10\00:10:43.37
the aisle, slammed the door and
he went home and then she talked
00:10:43.41\00:10:49.04
and she talked for a long time.
When she was finished she said
00:10:49.08\00:10:55.25
to Pastor Daniels, I want you
to go to that man's house. His
00:10:55.28\00:11:00.46
name is Mr. Davis and I will
write a letter and they went to
00:11:00.49\00:11:05.43
the house and when they got
there, Mr. Davis was shaking
00:11:05.46\00:11:11.07
he was very frightened. And
Elder Daniels started to read
00:11:11.10\00:11:17.81
the letter. And every time it
mentioned Jesus' name Mr. Davis
00:11:17.84\00:11:24.61
got angry and he got so angry
he grabbed a knife and he pulled
00:11:24.65\00:11:29.88
it out. It was a dagger. And
he said don't you mention Jesus'
00:11:29.92\00:11:34.36
name. What would you do if
you were really frightened like
00:11:34.39\00:11:38.66
that? They knelt down quickly
and when he mentioned Jesus'
00:11:38.69\00:11:43.83
name, he took the knife and
he flung it across the room and
00:11:43.87\00:11:49.47
then he started to cry and
then he admitted that he was in
00:11:49.50\00:11:54.71
spiritualism and the devil had
his heart. He said pray for me
00:11:54.74\00:11:58.88
please. I want the devil to
go out of my life and he did.
00:11:58.91\00:12:05.59
He became a strong friend
and when Ellen left the country
00:12:05.62\00:12:10.99
years later she collected
a whole lot of autographs and
00:12:11.03\00:12:16.33
Mr. Davis wrote in her autograph
book and this is what he wrote.
00:12:16.36\00:12:22.10
I have every reason to be
positive in my confidence in
00:12:22.14\00:12:27.74
Sister Ellen G. White as a true
prophet. And Ellen was able,
00:12:27.78\00:12:34.38
through Jesus, to reach a man
whose heart had been taken by
00:12:34.42\00:12:40.99
the devil and he became a soul
for Christ and Jesus was able to
00:12:41.02\00:12:47.60
use him. Wasn't that a
great story? Thank you.
00:12:47.63\00:12:52.80
Hi boys and girls. Happy Sabbath
Welcome to our Bible study.
00:12:52.83\00:12:56.60
If you haven't got your Bibles
ready yet, go get them now so
00:12:56.64\00:13:00.14
that you can follow along with
us. Auntie Cecily can you please
00:13:00.18\00:13:03.61
say a prayer for us
before we open our Bibles?
00:13:03.65\00:13:07.22
Mmm. Dear God, thank you for
our Bible. Please be with us as
00:13:07.25\00:13:11.95
we study your word and please
help the boys and girls to
00:13:11.99\00:13:15.92
understand what we read
today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
00:13:15.96\00:13:19.86
Amen. Do you remember what
we studied about last week?
00:13:19.89\00:13:23.77
The armor of God.
00:13:23.80\00:13:25.33
The armor of God and how Satan
fell from heaven and what God
00:13:25.40\00:13:30.11
asks us to put on to protect
us from Satan. Well done.
00:13:30.14\00:13:33.68
Let's look at the story of Cain
and Able today and how sin and
00:13:33.71\00:13:37.68
disobedience caused a
lot of pain for Adam and Eve.
00:13:37.71\00:13:41.08
Liam, you've got our first verse
today. Would you like to read
00:13:41.12\00:13:43.92
that in Genesis 4:1.
00:13:43.95\00:13:47.46
Now Adam knew Eve his wife and
she conceived and bore Cain and
00:13:47.49\00:13:54.50
said, I have
acquired a man from the Lord.
00:13:54.53\00:13:57.97
Mmm. So Adam and Eve had left
their garden home and Eve had
00:13:58.00\00:14:03.27
her first baby and his name was
Cain. Now she thought that this
00:14:03.30\00:14:07.48
was the promised Messiah that
God had spoken to them about in
00:14:07.51\00:14:11.28
the garden of Eden, but was
it Jesus? No. It wasn't. He came
00:14:11.31\00:14:15.08
thousands of years later.
Okay Ella can you please read
00:14:15.12\00:14:19.05
Genesis 4:2.
00:14:19.75\00:14:21.09
Then she bore again. This time
his brother Abel. Now Abel was a
00:14:21.12\00:14:25.09
keeper of sheep but Cain
was a tiller of the ground.
00:14:25.13\00:14:29.03
Mmm. So who was
Cain. What did he do?
00:14:29.06\00:14:32.80
A tiller of the ground.
00:14:32.83\00:14:34.17
A tiller of the ground and Abel?
He was a shepherd, yes. He kept
00:14:34.20\00:14:38.67
the sheep, yes. Okay. Elijah can
you please read verses 3-5 of
00:14:38.71\00:14:43.38
Genesis 4, please.
00:14:43.41\00:14:44.75
And in the process of time it
came to pass that Cain brought
00:14:45.15\00:14:49.15
an offering of fruit of the
ground to the Lord. Abel also
00:14:49.18\00:14:53.15
brought of the firstborn of his
flock and of their fat and the
00:14:53.19\00:14:56.62
Lord respected Able and his
offering, but He did not respect
00:14:56.66\00:15:00.06
Cain and his offering. And
Cain was very angry and his
00:15:00.10\00:15:04.03
countenance fell.
00:15:04.07\00:15:06.17
Mmm. So the boys, I think, are
being tested for their obedience
00:15:06.20\00:15:10.44
and faith for God. Where
else have we heard about a test?
00:15:10.47\00:15:13.58
Where else did that happen
that we've just studied about?
00:15:13.61\00:15:16.68
In the garden of Eden.
00:15:16.71\00:15:18.05
In the garden of Eden, yes. So
God has asked them to bring an
00:15:18.08\00:15:24.25
offering and what
happened? What did we just read?
00:15:24.29\00:15:28.86
He accepted Abel's offering.
00:15:28.89\00:15:32.06
Yes, that's right. Let's read
our Torchlight Auntie Cecily.
00:15:32.09\00:15:36.87
Story of Redemption p. 52.
This sacrifice would lead them
00:15:36.90\00:15:41.40
to continually keep in mind
their sin and the Redeemer to
00:15:41.44\00:15:45.87
come who was to be the
great sacrifice for man.
00:15:45.91\00:15:51.25
Mmm. So by bringing a lamb
offering, which God had asked
00:15:51.28\00:15:54.65
them to do, that was to remind
them that Jesus was going to
00:15:54.68\00:15:58.42
come to this earth and he was
going to die for our sins. But
00:15:58.45\00:16:02.22
what did Cain bring. Fruit. He
brought fruit and did God want
00:16:02.26\00:16:05.76
him to bring fruit? No. No,
He wanted him to bring a lamb.
00:16:05.79\00:16:09.26
So was Cain obedient? No.
He wasn't obedient. He was
00:16:09.30\00:16:12.73
disobedient, that's right. Okay
now do you think Cain was angry?
00:16:12.77\00:16:17.57
Yes. Yes he was angry.
Okay Kate, can you read
00:16:17.61\00:16:20.04
Genesis 4:6-7 please.
00:16:20.08\00:16:22.54
And the Lord said to Cain, why
are you angry and why has your
00:16:22.58\00:16:28.65
countenance fallen. If you do
well will you not be accepted?
00:16:28.68\00:16:34.22
And if you do not do well
sin lies at your door and it's
00:16:34.26\00:16:39.79
desire is for you but
you should rule over it.
00:16:39.83\00:16:46.30
Mmm. Do you know God loves us
so much that he gives us every
00:16:46.33\00:16:50.11
chance to repent. We just read
in the Bible that God spoke to
00:16:50.14\00:16:53.88
Cain. He even sent an angel
to speak to him. Do you know
00:16:53.91\00:16:57.31
that Cain knew what he was doing
Adam and Eve had talked to them
00:16:57.35\00:17:02.38
about what happened in the
garden of Eden and he knew that
00:17:02.42\00:17:05.79
he had to bring a lamb, not
fruit. They knew that Christ was
00:17:05.82\00:17:09.16
going to come in the future to
die for their sins and even God
00:17:09.19\00:17:13.90
and the angel came to try and
reason with Cain and to change
00:17:13.93\00:17:18.60
his mind. But I don't think that
happened. Okay, Luke can you
00:17:18.63\00:17:23.30
please read Genesis 4:8 for us.
00:17:23.34\00:17:25.54
Now Cain talked with Abel his
brother and it came to pass when
00:17:25.57\00:17:30.28
they were in the field that Cain
rose up against Abel his brother
00:17:30.31\00:17:34.98
and killed him.
00:17:35.02\00:17:36.35
So even Abel tried to reason
with Cain, but did Cain want to
00:17:36.38\00:17:41.46
listen? No. No he was cross
at his younger brother for being
00:17:41.49\00:17:46.26
obedient. What did that verse
just say? Who did Cain kill?
00:17:46.29\00:17:50.77
Abel. Abel his brother, yes,
because he didn't want to bring
00:17:50.80\00:17:54.77
the offering that God asked him
to bring. Do you think that's a
00:17:54.80\00:17:58.97
bit of the "I" disease that
we spoke about with Satan. Yes.
00:17:59.01\00:18:02.71
Satan wanted to do what he
wanted to do. And Cain was the
00:18:02.74\00:18:06.11
same wasn't he? He wanted to
bring what he wanted to bring,
00:18:06.15\00:18:09.72
not what God wanted him to
bring. Okay Sarah, can you read
00:18:09.75\00:18:13.29
for us Genesis 4:9-10.
00:18:13.32\00:18:15.76
Then the Lord said to Cain,
where is Able your brother?
00:18:15.82\00:18:19.79
He said, I do not know. Am I
my brother's keeper. And He said
00:18:19.83\00:18:24.47
What have you done. The voice
of your brother's blood cries
00:18:24.53\00:18:29.14
out to me from the ground.
00:18:29.17\00:18:30.51
Mmm. So God knew what Cain had
done. Can we hide anything from
00:18:30.54\00:18:35.61
God? No. No, we can't. And God
gave Cain every opportunity to
00:18:35.64\00:18:40.58
confess his sin and to reflect
on what he'd done. But sadly
00:18:40.62\00:18:45.42
he didn't. Auntie Cecily can
you please read Genesis 4:11-12.
00:18:45.45\00:18:50.36
So now you are cursed from
the earth which has opened it's
00:18:50.39\00:18:55.40
mouth to receive your brother's
blood from your hand. When you
00:18:55.43\00:19:00.44
till the ground it shall no
longer yield it's strength to
00:19:00.47\00:19:05.27
you. A fugitive and a vagabond
you shall be on the earth.
00:19:05.31\00:19:10.65
Mmm. So God placed a curse on
Cain but in His mercy, God's so
00:19:10.68\00:19:15.38
merciful. He didn't allow anyone
to kill Cain because you know
00:19:15.42\00:19:20.56
what? God still wanted him to
repent. But the earth would no
00:19:20.59\00:19:24.79
longer provide as many blessings
to him as before. He would
00:19:24.86\00:19:29.06
always be a vagabond or a
harmless wonderer. He would
00:19:29.10\00:19:32.50
always wander the earth. Do
you think it's a blessing to be
00:19:32.53\00:19:35.94
obedient? Yeah. I think it is.
God wants us to do what he wants
00:19:35.97\00:19:39.81
us to do, not what we want
to do. It's important that we do
00:19:39.84\00:19:43.61
what God wants us to do. There's
a promise in the Bible and let's
00:19:43.65\00:19:48.15
all turn to that and read that
together. It's found in Jeremiah
00:19:48.18\00:19:53.15
7:23. And we'll turn to that
and read that together. This is
00:19:53.19\00:19:58.09
important for us to know.
You ready. But this thing I
00:19:58.13\00:20:05.30
commanded them saying, Obey My
voice and I will be your God and
00:20:05.33\00:20:10.11
you shall be my people and
walk in all the way that I have
00:20:10.14\00:20:15.48
commanded you that
it may be well with you.
00:20:15.51\00:20:20.75
Wow! So God says if we obey Him
He'll be with us and everything
00:20:20.78\00:20:26.19
will go well. That's a great
promise isn't it. Thank you boys
00:20:26.22\00:20:30.33
and girls for sharing your time
with us in reading the Bible.
00:20:30.39\00:20:34.40
Ask God today to help you be
obedient and do the will of God,
00:20:34.43\00:20:38.33
not doing only what you want
to do. God wants us to be happy
00:20:38.37\00:20:42.37
and he knows what is best for
us. Next Sabbath we are going to
00:20:42.40\00:20:46.44
study about what happened to our
earth because of sin and we will
00:20:46.47\00:20:50.48
study about a very faithful,
obedient man. Can you guess who
00:20:50.51\00:20:54.58
that was? Have a
look in your Bible.
00:20:54.62\00:20:58.35
When you choose to keep
the Sabbath it can be a great
00:20:58.39\00:21:02.46
on our lives. Every time we read
our Bibles we can be blessed and
00:21:02.52\00:21:06.93
God can open new truths to us.
We want to encourage you to read
00:21:06.96\00:21:11.33
your Bibles not only on
the Sabbath day but every day.
00:21:11.37\00:21:15.07
Auntie Nat would you tell
us about the devotional that
00:21:15.10\00:21:18.74
relates to our study today.
00:21:18.77\00:21:20.94
Yes, I'd love to. We have
a seven day devotional study
00:21:20.98\00:21:25.61
available on Cain and Abel.
We studied that together today.
00:21:25.65\00:21:30.02
This expands on what we have
learned. You can download it
00:21:30.09\00:21:34.42
and print if free
from our website which is
00:21:34.46\00:21:36.49
www.adaywiththeking.com. This
will help you to read your Bible
00:21:36.52\00:21:40.26
every day and spend time getting
to know God. Auntie Cecily will
00:21:40.30\00:21:44.03
you go over our memory
verse now that we had today.
00:21:44.07\00:21:46.84
Let's do it. Are you ready
to say it all together. Jeremiah
00:21:46.87\00:21:50.34
7:23 But this is what
I commanded them saying
00:21:50.37\00:21:55.01
Obey my voice and I will be your
God and you shall be my people
00:21:55.04\00:22:01.15
walk in all the ways that I have
commanded you that it might be
00:22:01.18\00:22:07.26
well with you.
00:22:07.29\00:22:08.62
Auntie Nat are you ready to
sing our blessing song to the
00:22:08.66\00:22:10.66
children. Yes let's do that.
00:22:10.69\00:22:12.26
¤May God bless you and keep you
and fill your heart with love¤
00:22:12.29\00:22:26.57
¤May God guide and protect
you and watch you from above¤
00:22:26.61\00:22:36.48
¤And Sabbath after Sabbath
we greet the day of rest¤
00:22:36.52\00:22:46.80
¤The day the King of Glory
Has sanctified and blessed¤
00:22:46.83\00:22:57.11
¤Good bye my
friend till we meet again¤
00:22:57.14\00:23:03.61
¤For another day with the King¤
00:23:03.65\00:23:09.45
Bye see you next Sabbath.
