It's great to see you here today worshipping 00:01:07.90\00:01:11.50 with us so that we can meet the King. Auntie Cecily, can you say 00:01:11.53\00:01:15.10 a prayer for us to open our worship time together. 00:01:15.14\00:01:17.41 Yes. Dear Father, we praise and thank you for bringing us safely 00:01:17.44\00:01:22.01 through another week.

Do you know this is a great time to reflect on our 00:01:32.45\00:01:36.16 week and to see what God has done for us through the many 00:01:36.19\00:01:38.93 blessings he's giving us. Nick you have a blessing to tell us 00:01:38.96\00:01:41.66 about today. 00:01:41.70\00:01:43.37 Um, it was a blessing when God protected me when I fell over 00:01:43.40\00:01:50.01 and seriously injured my head. I had to stay home for a couple 00:01:50.04\00:01:56.64 of days and not go out anywhere and God just protected me 00:01:56.68\00:02:00.28 through that and I felt that was a blessing. 00:02:00.32\00:02:02.38 That's great Nick, thanks for sharing that with us. Auntie 00:02:02.42\00:02:05.72 Cecily you have something to share with us as well about the 00:02:05.75\00:02:09.02 Sabbath. 00:02:09.06\00:02:10.39 Yes. Remember last Sabbath when we spoke about preparing for the 00:02:10.43\00:02:15.50 Sabbath day. Well another thing God wants us to do is rest and 00:02:15.53\00:02:21.07 He provided a great example for us to follow. God rested on the 00:02:21.10\00:02:26.21 Sabbath. In past studies, we've looked at Genesis 2:1-3 and 00:02:26.24\00:02:31.61 Exodus 20:11 where the Bible tells us that God finished his 00:02:31.65\00:02:36.42 work in six days and on the seventh day, He rested. And he 00:02:36.45\00:02:41.16 commands us to do the same. When Jesus came to this earth He also 00:02:41.19\00:02:47.70 rested on the Sabbath as an example for us to follow. Jesus 00:02:47.73\00:02:51.50 rested on the Sabbath in life and He also rested on the 00:02:51.53\00:02:55.20 Sabbath in His death. In Luke 23:52-56 it tells us the story 00:02:55.24\00:03:02.24 of when Jesus died on the cross, which was Friday, also called 00:03:02.28\00:03:08.08 the preparation day. His friends and disciples took his body down 00:03:08.12\00:03:14.06 from the cross and laid it in a tomb. They quickly prepared the 00:03:14.09\00:03:20.16 oils and spices that they were going to embalm the body with. 00:03:20.20\00:03:26.20 Then they rested on the Sabbath. Luke 24:1-6 tells us that when 00:03:26.23\00:03:31.01 they came back on the first day of the week, which is Sunday, 00:03:31.07\00:03:37.11 to embalm his body, the tomb was empty. Two angels told them that 00:03:37.15\00:03:43.59 Jesus had risen. I think there's a very special message here for 00:03:43.62\00:03:49.56 us. Resting on the Sabbath was so important to God that even in 00:03:49.59\00:03:55.50 His death Jesus rested on the Sabbath. 00:03:55.53\00:03:58.83 Thank you Auntie Cecily. That's wonderful news. Do you know 00:03:58.90\00:04:02.57 another way to celebrate the Sabbath is to worship God in 00:04:02.60\00:04:07.04 song. Pastor Rick is here to help us do just that. Thanks 00:04:07.08\00:04:11.48 Pastor Rick. 00:04:11.51\00:04:12.85 Hi boys and girls. Let's sing that lovely old song Do Lord. 00:04:12.88\00:04:16.92 Pastor Rick, can we sing This Little Light of Mine? 00:05:40.10\00:05:43.94 We certainly can. 00:05:43.97\00:05:45.51 Thanks Pastor Rick. It's great to praise God in song. Ella, we 00:07:33.35\00:07:37.52 discovered a blessing this week at Sunnyside. Will we share that 00:07:37.55\00:07:41.72 with the children at home? Yes. Okay. Let's go have a look 00:07:41.76\00:07:44.93 at that. 00:07:44.99\00:07:46.43 Hello boys and girls. My name is Dr. John Hammond. Welcome to the 00:07:46.46\00:07:55.14 Australian home of Mrs. Ellen White. Come with me. I've got 00:07:55.17\00:08:00.11 some stories to tell you. 00:08:00.14\00:08:03.18 You know everybody out there listening to my voice and you 00:08:10.29\00:08:16.09 children sitting here on the mat we all have somebody sitting 00:08:16.12\00:08:20.90 next to us and we forget about it. It's our angels. I'm looking 00:08:20.93\00:08:25.63 forward to the day when I meet my guardian angel. I have heard 00:08:25.70\00:08:31.31 his voice and I have heard his voice a number of times in my 00:08:31.34\00:08:37.01 life. And maybe I've seen him but I don't know. One day when 00:08:37.05\00:08:42.52 my son, who is now 42, was just a little baby, we were driving 00:08:42.55\00:08:47.66 up from Sidney on the F3 and it was late at night and as I was 00:08:47.69\00:08:53.46 driving along an angel spoke to me. It was on the right hand 00:08:53.50\00:08:59.23 side and I can still remember it. I've never forgotten. 00:08:59.27\00:09:03.20 It said what would you do if you met a car coming on the wrong 00:09:03.24\00:09:08.88 side of the F3 and you know that's impossible don't because 00:09:08.91\00:09:15.38 it's a _. I was so surprised I was looking for 00:09:15.42\00:09:21.82 the angel. Looking for the voice I slowed down and the next 00:09:21.86\00:09:27.60 second two cars came around the corner. One was a stolen car 00:09:27.63\00:09:32.53 and the other one was a police car chasing it. It missed me 00:09:32.57\00:09:38.07 by that much. I could even see the expression on the face of 00:09:38.11\00:09:43.21 the 15-year-old boy and I was afraid _ that night 00:09:43.24\00:09:48.28 but not with us. When Ellen White went by train all the way 00:09:48.32\00:09:52.95 down to Melbourne for a camp meeting and she had work to do. 00:09:52.99\00:09:58.29 But the devil was around the outside and he got into the 00:09:58.33\00:10:03.57 hearts of some boys. We would call them hoodlums or yellbows. 00:10:03.60\00:10:09.27 But she called them larrikins and those larrikins were out to 00:10:09.30\00:10:15.81 cause trouble. And they would throw in firecrackers, they 00:10:15.84\00:10:22.08 would yell, they would make noises during meetings and when 00:10:22.12\00:10:28.29 they knew that a lady called Ellen was the special speaker 00:10:28.32\00:10:33.56 they laid a plan. They said, we're going to come in, in the 00:10:33.60\00:10:38.93 middle of the night and we're going to undo the ropes on her 00:10:38.97\00:10:43.24 tent. She wasn't staying in a hotel. She was staying in a tent 00:10:43.27\00:10:47.71 in the campground. And they were very nervous and they said we're 00:10:47.74\00:10:51.28 going to go to the police. Now before when this happened Ellen 00:10:51.31\00:10:56.08 said, don't go to the police. My angels will protect me. But this 00:10:56.15\00:11:01.22 time she let them. Maybe God had told her something. They went to 00:11:01.26\00:11:07.03 the police and they brought up a police constable, a big, strong 00:11:07.06\00:11:12.83 Irishman. And he walked around all night with his big stick 00:11:12.87\00:11:18.07 watching out for the larrikins, the gangsters. And you know, 00:11:18.11\00:11:23.24 he came around the 00:11:23.31\00:11:24.95 corner one night and he saw something over Ellen's tent. 00:11:24.98\00:11:31.19 He saw a light. And he thought hah, those larrikins, they've 00:11:31.22\00:11:36.62 set fire to her tent. And he's just got his stick. He was going 00:11:36.66\00:11:42.00 to wade into them and he suddenly saw the light became 00:11:42.06\00:11:48.14 the shape of an angel. He dropped his stick. He got on his 00:11:48.20\00:11:53.27 knees. He was a Catholic, so he made the sign of the cross. 00:11:53.34\00:11:58.58 And he looked at the angel, then he ran back to the police 00:11:58.61\00:12:03.79 station. He put his stick on the bench and he said I'm not going 00:12:03.82\00:12:07.52 back there. I don't need to because Ellen has an angel 00:12:07.56\00:12:13.46 looking after her. He was so amazed and so overjoyed because 00:12:13.50\00:12:18.70 he had seen Ellen's angel, he left the police force. 00:12:18.73\00:12:23.41 He studied his Bible. He joined our church and he lived in a 00:12:23.44\00:12:28.88 little town in Victoria. And every time he stood up in church 00:12:28.91\00:12:34.68 he would tell people how he had seen Ellen's angel. And he 00:12:34.72\00:12:40.79 brought many, many people to Jesus because of what he had 00:12:40.86\00:12:46.86 seen. Have any of you ever heard your angel? I think you probably 00:12:46.90\00:12:53.03 have and you people watching and listening, when we get to heaven 00:12:53.07\00:12:59.14 it's going to be wonderful because we will meet and talk 00:12:59.17\00:13:03.01 to our angel. I'm going to spend a million years listening to all 00:13:03.04\00:13:08.08 the stories my angel will tell and you'll do the same. 00:13:08.12\00:13:11.62 God bless you. 00:13:11.65\00:13:13.22 Hello boys and girls. Happy Sabbath. Welcome to our Bible 00:13:15.82\00:13:17.36 study. If you haven't got your Bibles ready yet, go get them 00:13:17.39\00:13:21.33 now so you can follow along with us. Auntie Cecily could you 00:13:21.36\00:13:25.23 please say a prayer for us before we read the word. 00:13:25.27\00:13:28.34 Yes. Dear Father, thank you for the blessing of owning a Bible. 00:13:28.37\00:13:33.07 Please help the boys and girls understand what we read today, 00:13:33.11\00:13:37.78 in Jesus' name, Amen. 00:13:37.81\00:13:40.22 Amen. So we left the story last week after Noah and his family 00:13:40.25\00:13:44.72 went into the ark and God shut the door. Elijah, how many days 00:13:44.75\00:13:49.19 did it rain for? 00:13:49.22\00:13:50.56 Forty days and forty nights. 00:13:50.59\00:13:53.50 Forty days and forty nights. That's a long time isn't it? 00:13:53.53\00:13:56.00 That's about six weeks. Can you imagine not going out to play 00:13:56.03\00:13:58.70 for six weeks because it's rained all that time. That was 00:13:58.73\00:14:01.30 how long it rained for. Remember they'd never seen rain before so 00:14:01.34\00:14:06.37 it must have been a bit scary for them. But God took care of 00:14:06.41\00:14:09.71 them and kept them very safe. Liam, can you please read 00:14:09.74\00:14:14.38 Genesis 7:18, 20, and 23-24 for us please. 00:14:14.45\00:14:18.39 The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth and the 00:14:18.42\00:14:25.43 ark moved about on the surface of the waters. The waters 00:14:25.46\00:14:30.87 prevailed 15 cubits upward and the mountains were covered. 00:14:30.90\00:14:35.70 So He destroyed all living things which were on the face 00:14:35.74\00:14:41.64 of the ground, both men and cattle, creeping thing and bird 00:14:41.68\00:14:46.48 of the air. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and 00:14:46.51\00:14:51.49 those who were with him in the ark remained alive. And the 00:14:51.52\00:14:56.42 waters prevailed on the earth 150 days. 00:14:56.46\00:15:01.73 Okay, so the Bible says the waters covered the earth. 00:15:01.76\00:15:05.97 There must have been a lot of water. What did we just read, 00:15:06.00\00:15:09.87 Liam? That the waters were 15 cubits above the mountains. 00:15:09.90\00:15:13.11 That's about seven and a half meters above the tallest 00:15:13.14\00:15:16.28 mountain in the world. What's our tallest mountain? 00:15:16.31\00:15:19.41 Mt. Everest. 00:15:19.45\00:15:21.12 Mt. Everest. Can you imagine the amount of water there must have 00:15:21.15\00:15:24.69 been. Seven and a half meters above that. That's a lot of 00:15:24.72\00:15:27.36 water. What was destroyed by the flood? Everything. Everything. 00:15:27.39\00:15:32.23 Only those inside the ark survived. How long did we read 00:15:32.29\00:15:36.26 the waters remained on the earth. 150 days. 150 days 00:15:36.30\00:15:40.20 which is around about five months. So for five months that 00:15:40.24\00:15:44.37 ark was tossed to and fro in the water. Let's read Genesis 8:1 00:15:44.41\00:15:48.34 because I don't think God forgot Noah. Let's read that together. 00:15:48.38\00:15:52.31 That's our memory verse. 00:15:52.35\00:15:53.68 Then God remembered Noah and every living thing, and all the 00:15:53.72\00:15:58.99 animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to 00:15:59.02\00:16:04.73 pass over the earth and then the water subsided. 00:16:04.76\00:16:08.56 Ah, God is so good. He did not forget his servant Noah. 00:16:08.60\00:16:11.80 Ella, can you please read for us Genesis 8:3-5. 00:16:11.83\00:16:16.47 And the waters receded continually from the earth 00:16:16.50\00:16:21.04 at the end of the 150 days, the waters decreased and the ark 00:16:21.08\00:16:26.72 rested in the seventh month, the 17th day of the month on the 00:16:26.75\00:16:32.32 mountains of Ararat and the waters decreased continually 00:16:32.35\00:16:38.56 until the 10th month. In the 10th month, on the first day 00:16:38.59\00:16:44.80 of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen. 00:16:44.83\00:16:49.90 Mmm. So God directed the ark to rest into some calm waters 00:16:49.94\00:16:54.04 between the mountains of Ararat and after a little while the 00:16:54.08\00:16:58.15 tops of the mountains became visible. Then Noah does 00:16:58.18\00:17:01.58 something. He goes to the top of the ark and he lifts the 00:17:01.62\00:17:04.25 covering of the ark and let's see what happens. Elijah, can 00:17:04.29\00:17:06.86 you read Genesis 8:7? 00:17:06.92\00:17:10.46 Then he sent out a raven which kept going to and fro until the 00:17:10.49\00:17:14.16 waters had dried up from the earth. 00:17:14.20\00:17:16.43 So Nick, can you please read Genesis 8:9-12 for us please. 00:17:16.46\00:17:20.80 But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot 00:17:20.84\00:17:25.74 and she returned into the ark for him for the whole waters 00:17:25.77\00:17:30.18 were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand 00:17:30.21\00:17:35.18 and took her and drew her into the ark to himself and he waited 00:17:35.22\00:17:40.72 yet another seven days and again he sent the dove out from the 00:17:40.76\00:17:46.23 then the dove came to him in the evening and behold a 00:17:46.26\00:17:49.66 freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth and Noah knew that 00:17:49.70\00:17:53.57 the waters had receded from the earth. So he waited again 00:17:53.60\00:17:57.54 another seven days and sent out the dove which did not return 00:17:57.57\00:18:01.44 again to him anymore. 00:18:01.48\00:18:03.01 Mmm. Thank you Nick. 00:18:03.04\00:18:04.48 Ben, can you please read Genesis 8:13-14 for us. 00:18:04.51\00:18:09.18 And it came to pass in the 601st year in the first month the 00:18:09.25\00:18:13.66 first day of the month that the waters were dried up from the 00:18:13.69\00:18:17.43 earth and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked 00:18:17.46\00:18:21.20 and indeed the surface of the ground was dry. And in the 00:18:21.26\00:18:25.50 second month on the 27th day of the month the earth was dry. 00:18:25.53\00:18:29.70 Mmm. So the water was gone. Now we read last Sabbath that 00:18:29.74\00:18:34.48 entered the ark in his 600th year in the second month and now 00:18:34.54\00:18:39.75 we've just read that Noah's 601st year in the second month 00:18:39.81\00:18:44.02 was when the waters dried up. So how long were they in the 00:18:44.09\00:18:48.79 ark for? About a year, 600 and 601. That was a long time 00:18:48.82\00:18:53.50 wasn't it? 00:18:53.53\00:18:54.86 Imagine being in the ark with all those animals. Would have 00:18:54.90\00:18:56.87 have been a bit of a floating zoo. Do think it might have been 00:18:56.90\00:19:00.20 a bit smelly in there. Yeah. It probably was. There was a very 00:19:00.24\00:19:04.31 interesting environment. Now when that water had dried up 00:19:04.34\00:19:07.88 do you think Noah just rushed out of the ark or do you think 00:19:07.91\00:19:12.15 he waited? Waited. He waited. He waited on God for the angel 00:19:12.21\00:19:16.22 to come down and open the door. Aunt Cecily, could you please 00:19:16.25\00:19:20.22 read Genesis 8:15-17 for us please. 00:19:20.26\00:19:24.03 And God spoke to Noah saying come out of the ark, you and 00:19:24.06\00:19:30.13 your wife and your sons and you sons' wives with you. Bring out 00:19:30.17\00:19:35.50 with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, 00:19:35.54\00:19:40.54 birds, and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on 00:19:40.58\00:19:45.21 the earth so that they may abound on the earth and be 00:19:45.25\00:19:49.88 fruitful and multiply on the earth. 00:19:49.92\00:19:52.59 Okay, Sarah let's see what Noah does next. Let's read 00:19:52.62\00:19:56.86 Genesis 8:20. 00:19:56.89\00:19:58.23 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took of every clean 00:19:58.26\00:20:02.46 animal and every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the 00:20:02.50\00:20:06.87 altar. 00:20:06.90\00:20:08.24 Let's look at our Torch Light, Mrs. White's writings and see 00:20:08.27\00:20:11.11 what the light shines on that verse for us. Liam, you're going 00:20:11.14\00:20:14.18 to do that for us today. Thank you. 00:20:14.21\00:20:21.72 They released Noah. In the joy of their release Noah did not 00:20:21.75\00:20:26.72 forget Him by whose gracious care they had been preserved. 00:20:26.76\00:20:31.36 His first act after leaving the ark was to build an altar and 00:20:31.39\00:20:37.10 offer from every kind of clean beast and fowl a sacrifice, thus 00:20:37.13\00:20:43.51 manifesting his gratitude to God for deliverance and his faith in 00:20:43.54\00:20:49.91 Christ, the great sacrifice. 00:20:49.94\00:20:52.31 Mmm. So that's why Noah was told by God that there had to be how 00:20:52.35\00:20:58.39 many of the animals. There were two animals and there were seven 00:20:58.42\00:21:04.43 animals. They had to take seven clean animals so there were 00:21:04.49\00:21:07.73 enough animals to offer a sacrifice. Was Noah obedient and 00:21:07.76\00:21:10.70 faithful? Yeah. He was. Where have we read in the Bible of 00:21:10.73\00:21:13.60 someone who did not want to give the proper sacrifice. Cain. Cain 00:21:13.64\00:21:19.17 That's right. By giving an animal sacrifice, it is required 00:21:19.21\00:21:23.28 the shedding of blood which pointed to that Christ was going 00:21:23.31\00:21:28.65 to come and shed blood for our sins. Ella, you're going to read 00:21:28.68\00:21:33.99 Genesis 9:13-15. 00:21:34.02\00:21:35.36 I set my rainbow in the clouds and it shall be for the sign of 00:21:35.39\00:21:38.83 the covenant between me and the earth. It shall be when I 00:21:38.89\00:21:41.80 bring a cloud over the earth that the rainbow shall be 00:21:41.83\00:21:44.73 seen in the 00:21:44.77\00:21:46.10 cloud and I will remember my covenant which is between me and 00:21:46.13\00:21:49.74 you and every living creature of all flesh. The waters shall 00:21:49.77\00:21:53.98 never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 00:21:54.01\00:21:58.41 Mmm. What an amazing promise. So every time you see a rainbow 00:21:58.45\00:22:03.08 in the sky after it rains that you know that God promises 00:22:03.12\00:22:07.72 never to flood the whole earth again with a flood. That's being 00:22:07.76\00:22:12.76 put there as a reminder that we remember the story of Noah and 00:22:12.79\00:22:17.37 how faithful and obedient Noah was. Thank you boys and girls 00:22:17.40\00:22:21.30 for joining us today in reading the Bible. It was lovely to have 00:22:21.34\00:22:24.97 you along. Always remember that just like Noah, God will never 00:22:25.01\00:22:29.04 forget you. If you ask him to, God will protect you through the 00:22:29.08\00:22:33.11 storms of life just like He protected Noah and his family 00:22:33.15\00:22:36.82 in the flood. Next Sabbath we are going to study about another 00:22:36.89\00:22:41.22 man in the Bible who was also faithful and obedient. 00:22:41.26\00:22:47.00 When we keep the Sabbath we get to know God better and 00:22:47.03\00:22:52.63 realize how much he wants to build a relationship with us. 00:22:52.67\00:22:56.60 One way to strengthen our walk with the Lord is to read and 00:22:56.64\00:23:01.11 study our Bibles. The Bible is filled with examples of how God 00:23:01.14\00:23:05.55 the Father and Jesus the Son worked together as one and 00:23:05.58\00:23:11.15 showed us how to live our lives. We want to encourage you to read 00:23:11.19\00:23:16.46 your Bibles, not only on the Sabbath day, but every day. 00:23:16.49\00:23:20.20 Auntie Nat, would you like to tell the boys and girls about 00:23:20.23\00:23:23.90 our devotional?

Yes. 00:23:56.23\00:23:57.57 Are you ready to say it all together children? 00:23:57.60\00:24:00.40 Genesis 8:1 Then God remembered Noah and every living thing and 00:24:00.44\00:24:08.24 all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a 00:24:08.28\00:24:16.02 wind to pass over the earth and the waters subsided. 00:24:16.05\00:24:21.76 Auntie Nat, are you ready to sing our blessing song to the 00:24:21.82\00:24:24.39 children? 00:24:24.43\00:24:25.76 Yes, let's just do that. 00:24:25.79\00:24:27.13 ¤May God bless you and keep you and fill your heart with love¤ 00:24:27.16\00:24:41.98 ¤May God guide and protect you and watch you from above¤ 00:24:42.01\00:24:52.05 ¤And Sabbath after Sabbath we greet the day of rest¤ 00:24:52.12\00:25:02.10 ¤The day that the King of Glory has sanctified and blessed¤ 00:25:02.13\00:25:10.97 ¤Good bye my friend till we meet again¤ 00:25:11.01\00:25:17.01 ¤For another day with the King¤ 00:25:17.05\00:25:23.35 Bye.
