Hello there, Happy Sabbath, Come
on in. We're about to meet with
00:00:01.90\00:00:05.67
the king.
00:00:05.70\00:00:07.47

00:00:07.50\00:00:08.84
Hello, I'm Auntie Nat. It's
great you could all join us to
00:00:52.68\00:00:55.62
meet with the King. We're about
to open the Sabbath. Come and
00:00:55.65\00:00:58.52
join our worship time together.
00:00:58.55\00:01:00.46
Auntie Cecily how are you doing?
00:01:00.49\00:01:02.66
Very well, thank you Auntie Nat.
00:01:02.69\00:01:04.79
That's great to have you with
us. And hi children. It's great
00:01:04.83\00:01:08.10
that you're here with us today
to worship the King. And hello
00:01:08.16\00:01:11.50
Teddie. It's great that you're
here as well. Auntie Cecily,
00:01:11.53\00:01:14.87
would you like to say
a prayer for us please.
00:01:14.90\00:01:17.47
Dear Lord, thank you for keeping
us safe through another week.
00:01:17.51\00:01:21.61
We pray that you would bless
all the boys and girls who have
00:01:21.64\00:01:26.61
joined us to worship you this
Sabbath. In Jesus' name, Amen.
00:01:26.65\00:01:30.99
Amen. Do you know that this is
a great time to reflect on our
00:01:31.02\00:01:35.32
week and count the blessings
that God has sent us. Chikkita
00:01:35.36\00:01:39.66
you've got a little
blessing for us haven't you?
00:01:39.69\00:01:41.03
Well out friends took our
family sailing across the lake
00:01:41.06\00:01:47.40
and it was really fun.
00:01:47.44\00:01:49.40
Thanks Chikkita, that was
really good. Auntie Cecily you
00:01:49.47\00:01:52.77
have a blessing to share with
us as well about the Sabbath.
00:01:52.81\00:01:57.15
Yes. Remember last Sabbath we
spoke about going to church and
00:01:57.18\00:02:01.52
worshipping with other believers
on the Sabbath day. Well Jesus
00:02:01.58\00:02:05.89
said in Matthew 12:12 it is
lawful to good on the Sabbath.
00:02:05.92\00:02:11.03
God intended the Sabbath to
be a spiritual refreshment and a
00:02:11.06\00:02:15.96
delight for us. We can visit
people at home who are feeling
00:02:16.00\00:02:20.14
sick or people who are in the
hospital or people that are in
00:02:20.17\00:02:25.01
a nursing home. We can also
visit people who are lonely and
00:02:25.04\00:02:29.54
who are living on their own and
need some cheering up. We can
00:02:29.58\00:02:34.65
help mom or dad prepare a meal
on Friday to take to someone in
00:02:34.68\00:02:38.95
need. We can invite someone home
for lunch who is visiting our
00:02:38.99\00:02:44.06
church or someone who's lonely.
If we know someone who's sad and
00:02:44.09\00:02:48.73
needs encouragement we can get
them a card, we could make one
00:02:48.76\00:02:53.67
for them couldn't we, make your
own card and tell them how much
00:02:53.70\00:02:58.71
Jesus loves them and that we are
praying for them. So the Sabbath
00:02:58.74\00:03:03.65
is about doing kind and helpful
things for other people. Perhaps
00:03:03.68\00:03:08.65
before next Sabbath you can pray
and ask God to show you how you
00:03:08.68\00:03:13.62
can be a blessing to
others on the Sabbath day.
00:03:13.66\00:03:16.32
Wow. Thank you Auntie Cecily.
Do you know another way that we
00:03:16.39\00:03:20.63
can worship God on the Sabbath
is to praise God in song.
00:03:20.66\00:03:23.67
We have Pastor
Rick here with us.
00:03:23.70\00:03:26.90
Hi boys and girls. Let's
sing Wide, Wide As the Ocean.
00:03:26.94\00:03:32.67
Can we sing the
books of the Bible?
00:04:06.78\00:04:08.71
Yes we can.
00:04:08.74\00:04:12.21
Pastor Rick can
we do Into My Heart?
00:05:26.99\00:05:30.03
We certainly can.
00:05:30.06\00:05:31.39
Thanks Pastor Rick. It's great
to worship God in song. Nick
00:06:33.56\00:06:37.99
we discovered a blessing at
Sunnyside this week. Will you
00:06:38.03\00:06:41.66
share that with the children
at home? Yes. Okay, let's go
00:06:41.70\00:06:45.33
have a look at that.
00:06:45.37\00:06:51.07
Hello boys and girls. My name
is Dr. John Hammond. Welcome to
00:06:51.11\00:06:55.88
the Australian home of
Mrs. Ellen White. Come with me,
00:06:55.91\00:06:59.98
I've got some
stories to tell you.
00:07:00.02\00:07:07.22
I want to tell you the
story about little Roy Thompson.
00:07:07.26\00:07:13.29
He was 10 and he was just
like any other 10-year-old boy.
00:07:13.33\00:07:19.27
He loved to run. He didn't like
school too much, but he loved to
00:07:19.30\00:07:25.17
play football and he had a
football. And his friends used
00:07:25.21\00:07:27.91
to play with him and one day
They were chasing the football
00:07:27.94\00:07:30.65
and it went over the fence. And
Roy jumped over and they were
00:07:33.05\00:07:37.42
seeing who was going to be there
first. When he jumped over the
00:07:37.45\00:07:41.82
he didn't land terribly
well and he landed on his
00:07:41.86\00:07:47.03
knee. But the five boys were
coming over and they all landed
00:07:47.06\00:07:54.07
on top of him and his knee went
pop, crunch, ouch, yell, and he
00:07:54.10\00:08:01.08
limped off and almost
immediately his leg started to
00:08:01.11\00:08:05.95
swell. And it got worse and
worse. He had fractured a bone
00:08:05.98\00:08:10.99
there called the knee cap or
patella. He went to bed. It got
00:08:11.02\00:08:15.42
bigger and bigger and they
called in the doctors. Now when
00:08:15.49\00:08:19.46
a doctor comes in and he smiles
you know it's not going to be
00:08:19.49\00:08:24.20
too bad. But when they look very
serious, something like that,
00:08:24.27\00:08:28.94
you know you a problem.
And as the weeks went past the
00:08:28.97\00:08:34.78
swelling got worse and finally
they say Roy we're going to
00:08:34.81\00:08:40.08
have to cut off your leg above
your knee, it's so infected.
00:08:40.12\00:08:45.29
But Ellen found out because
her daddy was working here at
00:08:45.32\00:08:49.72
Sunnyside; and he was building
the new college buildings.
00:08:49.76\00:08:54.06
And she said, bring him up here.
You know he could have stayed
00:08:54.10\00:08:58.40
for one week, two weeks. He
stayed six months. In fact he
00:08:58.43\00:09:04.54
stayed a whole year. And Ellen's
friend Sarah she got there and
00:09:04.57\00:09:09.24
she wrapped it in bandages and
she got charcoal and she made
00:09:09.28\00:09:14.52
what we call a poultice and it
drew the poison out and finally
00:09:14.55\00:09:18.55
all this muck came out and bits
of bone, three pieces of bone.
00:09:18.59\00:09:24.66
And he got better. And he loved
living with her and the family
00:09:24.69\00:09:30.33
came up and they loved here
in Courenbong. And here I have a
00:09:30.37\00:09:36.24
picture. You walked through this
door when you came in and there
00:09:36.30\00:09:41.84
is Mrs. White and there is Sarah
the nurse and away along here
00:09:41.88\00:09:47.98
standing at the front is little
Roy Thompson and because he had
00:09:48.02\00:09:55.02
his injury, the family moved up
and bought a house here. And his
00:09:55.06\00:10:02.33
daddy was such a good builder.
He built the college chapel, he
00:10:02.36\00:10:09.60
built all the halls and
they became well known in the
00:10:09.64\00:10:15.34
district. They settled here and
Minerva had many children and
00:10:15.38\00:10:21.58
they had children and the
children had children and I want
00:10:21.62\00:10:27.69
you to meet two of them. Come
here Grady and come here Riley.
00:10:27.72\00:10:34.66
Now you stand here and Riley
stand here and Riley, I want you
00:10:34.73\00:10:43.17
to tell all the boys and girls
behind the camera what is your
00:10:43.20\00:10:51.61
real name, what's your name?
00:10:51.65\00:10:55.15
Riley (who) Thompson.
00:10:55.18\00:10:57.82
Oh. And what's your name?
00:10:57.85\00:11:00.49
Grady Thompson.
00:11:00.52\00:11:02.16
And I want to tell you
something else, boys and girls.
00:11:02.19\00:11:06.59
The reason I know the Thompsons
who are the same family of
00:11:06.66\00:11:11.03
little Roy is that Riley
and Grady are my grandsons.
00:11:11.07\00:11:15.77
And I'm very proud. I'm so glad.
But you know what. They would
00:11:15.80\00:11:21.14
never had come here if little
Roy hadn't smashed his knee.
00:11:21.18\00:11:26.41
Now Roy grew up. He's dead now
but I spoke to his son yesterday
00:11:26.45\00:11:32.15
He's 92 years of age and he said
his daddy kept his leg all his
00:11:32.22\00:11:37.83
life. You know the Bible has
told us that I will bless you up
00:11:37.86\00:11:44.97
to the 10th generation if you
serve Me because Riley and Grady
00:11:45.00\00:11:50.51
are the sixth generation all the
way down from the Mr. Thompson
00:11:50.54\00:11:56.01
who came and worked here.
And so God blesses people who
00:11:56.04\00:12:00.82
serve Him and if you serve Him
your children and their children
00:12:00.88\00:12:04.22
and their grandchildren and
their great grandchildren they
00:12:04.25\00:12:07.02
will follow Jesus too. Isn't
that a lovely thing to look
00:12:07.06\00:12:09.79
forward to. Thank you
00:12:09.82\00:12:13.16
Hi boys and girls. Happy Sabbath
Welcome to our Bible study.
00:12:13.19\00:12:16.63
I hope you are ready to follow
along with us and you have your
00:12:16.67\00:12:19.73
Bibles. Auntie Cecily could
you please say a prayer for us
00:12:19.77\00:12:22.84
before we read our Bibles?
00:12:22.87\00:12:24.41
Yes. Dear God we thank you for
your word and we pray that the
00:12:24.47\00:12:29.14
children at home and here
will understand what we read.
00:12:29.18\00:12:33.05
For Jesus' sake. Amen.
00:12:33.08\00:12:34.75
Amen! Kate what did we
study about last Sabbath?
00:12:34.78\00:12:38.79
How Abraham's servant
found a wife for Isaac.
00:12:38.82\00:12:42.76
Isaac. Yeah. And Isaac
said a prayer to God about?
00:12:42.82\00:12:48.03
He wanted to have some
kids so they had twins.
00:12:48.06\00:12:53.23
Yeah, Rebekah eventually had
twins didn't she? And what were
00:12:53.27\00:12:56.14
their names.
00:12:56.17\00:12:57.51
Jacob and Esau.
00:12:57.57\00:12:58.91
That's right. We're going to
study in the Bible today what
00:12:58.94\00:13:02.21
happened to those two brothers.
Nick, you've got our first
00:13:02.24\00:13:05.51
reading today. Can you
read for us Genesis 25:29-34?
00:13:05.55\00:13:12.19
Now Jacob cooked a stew and Esau
came in from the field and was
00:13:12.25\00:13:17.46
weary and Esau said to Jacob
please feed me with that same
00:13:17.49\00:13:22.23
red stew for I am weary.
Therefore, his name was called
00:13:22.26\00:13:26.94
Edom. But Jacob said, sell me
your birthright as of this day.
00:13:27.00\00:13:32.01
And Esau said, Look I'm
about to die, so what is this
00:13:32.04\00:13:35.98
birthright to me? Then Jacob
said, Swear to me as of this
00:13:36.01\00:13:40.38
day, so he swore to him and
sold his birthright to Jacob.
00:13:40.42\00:13:44.95
And Jacob gave Esau bread and
stew of lentils and then he ate
00:13:44.99\00:13:49.49
and drank and rose
up and went his way.
00:13:49.52\00:13:54.03
Thus Esau
despised his birthright.
00:13:54.06\00:13:57.57
Mmm. So Esau he wasn't happy
to wait until he got home to his
00:13:57.60\00:14:01.94
family for something to eat. He
saw what Jacob was cooking and
00:14:01.97\00:14:06.31
he wanted it right away. But
Jacob said he could have some
00:14:06.34\00:14:10.55
if he sold him his? Birthright.
His birthright. Do you know
00:14:10.58\00:14:14.45
what? A birthright is something
very important, something to
00:14:14.48\00:14:18.35
treasure. It was a life
of service and who had the
00:14:18.39\00:14:23.09
birthright with the line
that Jesus was going to come.
00:14:23.12\00:14:27.06
But did Esau like his birthright
No. We just read that he
00:14:27.10\00:14:31.17
despised his birthright. Dearie
me, so I think it was easy to
00:14:31.20\00:14:35.24
sell his birthright wasn't
it? Because he really wasn't
00:14:35.27\00:14:36.77
interested. He was just so busy
roaming the mountains, hunting.
00:14:36.81\00:14:42.88
He liked that better. So Jacob,
on the other hand, he wanted
00:14:42.91\00:14:48.42
nothing better than to serve
God. He wanted to be like his
00:14:48.45\00:14:53.15
grandfather Abraham and commune
with God and I think he wanted
00:14:53.19\00:14:57.83
the birthright. And we're to
study about that. Let's read in
00:14:57.89\00:15:03.80
Genesis 27:3-4. Ella, you're
going to read that. Isaac's very
00:15:03.83\00:15:08.64
old here and he's going blind
and he's worried he's going to
00:15:08.67\00:15:13.44
die. So Ella read that for us.
00:15:13.48\00:15:14.81
Now therefore please take your
weapons your quiver and your bow
00:15:14.84\00:15:19.91
and go out to the field and
hunt a game for me. And make me
00:15:19.95\00:15:25.25
savory food such as I love and
bring it to me that I may eat
00:15:25.29\00:15:30.59
that my soul may
bless you before I die.
00:15:30.63\00:15:33.73
Mmm. So Isaac has asked his son
Esau to go on one of his hunts.
00:15:33.76\00:15:38.33
Now Esau liked hunting didn't
he? Yeah. To find some nice food
00:15:38.40\00:15:43.20
for his father to eat because
he wanted to bestow the final
00:15:43.24\00:15:47.81
blessing and birthright on Esau.
But who was listening? Who do
00:15:47.84\00:15:52.41
you think might have been
listening to that request?
00:15:52.45\00:15:55.22
Rebekah. Rebekah was. Now
Rebekah when she prayed to God
00:15:55.25\00:15:59.95
God told her that the oldest
would serve the youngest didn't
00:15:59.99\00:16:04.69
He? And so she always
thought that Jacob deserved the
00:16:04.73\00:16:08.46
the birthright, not Esau. So
she told Jacob to go out to the
00:16:08.50\00:16:14.94
flock and get a kid and to bring
it back and she would prepare
00:16:15.00\00:16:20.84
it for Isaac and Jacob would get
the blessing instead of Esau.
00:16:20.88\00:16:27.12
Let's find out what happens.
Okay. Now Elijah you're going to
00:16:27.15\00:16:34.26
Genesis 27:16 because they did
something to disguise Jacob's
00:16:34.29\00:16:40.50
hands because what was Esau
when he was born? Remember what
00:16:40.53\00:16:45.97
was he? He was hairy. Okay
Elijah you read that for us.
00:16:46.00\00:16:51.37
And she put the skins of the
kid of the goat on his hand and
00:16:51.44\00:16:55.28
and on the
smooth part of his neck.
00:16:55.31\00:16:57.25
Mmm. So they went to a lot of
trouble to trick Isaac, didn't
00:16:57.28\00:17:01.58
they? Kate you're going to
read for us Genesis 27:18-23.
00:17:01.62\00:17:07.02
So he went to the father
and said, my father, and he said
00:17:07.06\00:17:11.69
here I am, who are you my son?
Jacob said to his father, I am
00:17:11.73\00:17:16.36
Esau your firstborn. I
have done just as you told me.
00:17:16.40\00:17:20.74
Please arise, sit and eat of
my game that your soul may bless
00:17:20.77\00:17:26.17
me. But Isaac said to Esau, how
is it that you have found it so
00:17:26.21\00:17:31.58
quickly my son. And he
said because the Lord your God
00:17:31.61\00:17:34.25
brought it to me. But Isaac said
to Jacob, Please come near that
00:17:34.28\00:17:38.95
I may feel you my son whether
you are really my son Esau or
00:17:38.99\00:17:44.19
not. So Jacob went near to Isaac
his father and he felt and he
00:17:44.23\00:17:48.86
said, The voice is Jacob's voice
but the hands are the hands of
00:17:48.90\00:17:53.54
Esau. When he did not recognize
him because his hands were hairy
00:17:53.60\00:17:58.21
like his brother Esau's
hands so he blessed him.
00:17:58.24\00:18:01.04
Mmm. So were Rebekah and Jacob
successful in tricking Isaac?
00:18:01.11\00:18:08.45
Yes. They were. Ben we're going
to look at our Torch Light to
00:18:08.48\00:18:12.69
see what Mrs. White's writing
shine on this subject. Can you
00:18:12.72\00:18:16.89
read that for us please.
00:18:16.93\00:18:24.60
God had declared that Jacob
00:18:24.63\00:18:25.97
should receive the birthright
and His word would have been
00:18:26.00\00:18:28.90
fulfilled in his own time
had they waited in faith for Him
00:18:28.94\00:18:31.91
to work for them.
00:18:31.94\00:18:33.27
Mmm. So were Rebekah and Jacob
patient and faithful. No. They
00:18:33.31\00:18:36.71
They weren't because they didn't
wait on God to do it in His
00:18:36.75\00:18:40.72
timing. They went ahead of God.
Where else have we read that?
00:18:40.75\00:18:45.02
Remember we read with Sarah
and Abraham how they didn't wait
00:18:45.05\00:18:48.72
because they didn't trust that
God would give them a baby and
00:18:48.76\00:18:52.39
Abraham took a second wife
didn't he because they didn't
00:18:52.43\00:18:55.13
trust God.
00:18:55.16\00:18:56.50
And the same thing is happening
here. So Jacob leaves his
00:18:56.53\00:19:00.37
father's tent after he's
deceived him. Esau turns up with
00:19:00.40\00:19:04.77
the food that he went out and
hunted for. Let's find out Aunt
00:19:04.81\00:19:08.71
Cecily what happens when Esau
and Isaac find out they've been
00:19:08.74\00:19:12.61
tricked. We're going
to read Genesis 27:33-35.
00:19:12.65\00:19:20.12
Then Isaac trembled exceedingly
and said, Who. Where is the one
00:19:20.16\00:19:25.33
who hunted game and brought
it to me. I ate all of it before
00:19:25.36\00:19:30.63
you came and I have blessed him
and indeed he shall be blessed.
00:19:30.67\00:19:35.90
When Esau heard the words
of his father he cried with an
00:19:35.94\00:19:40.31
exceedingly great and bitter cry
and said to his father, bless me
00:19:40.34\00:19:46.48
me also, O my father. But
he said your brother came with
00:19:46.51\00:19:51.72
deceit and has
taken away your blessing.
00:19:51.75\00:19:54.26
Do you think Esau was angry?
Ah, he was extremely angry.
00:19:54.29\00:19:59.69
Let's read, Sarah,
in Genesis 27:43-44 to
00:19:59.73\00:20:08.44
see what happens.
00:20:08.47\00:20:10.17
Now therefore my son Obey my
voice. Arise, flee to my brother
00:20:10.21\00:20:15.98
Laban in Herran and stay
with him a few days until your
00:20:16.01\00:20:20.65
brother's fury turns away.
00:20:20.68\00:20:22.38
Mmm. Because Esau had
threatened to kill Jacob.
00:20:22.42\00:20:25.32
Goodness me. So does lying pay?
No Jacob had to leave his family
00:20:25.35\00:20:30.89
and he never saw his mother
again. Let's see what our Bibles
00:20:30.93\00:20:36.43
say. We're going to read
our memory verse together in
00:20:36.46\00:20:41.34
Proverbs 12:22. Because it
tells us something very special.
00:20:41.37\00:20:44.77
Okay all ready?
00:20:44.81\00:20:51.28
Lying is an abomination to
the Lord but those who deal
00:20:51.31\00:20:56.92
truthfully are his delight.
00:20:56.95\00:21:00.46
So that tells us that God is
not happy when we lie, just like
00:21:00.52\00:21:04.93
he wasn't happy when Jacob lied
to his father. God loves it when
00:21:04.96\00:21:09.50
we tell the truth. You know
both Rebekah and Jacob were very
00:21:09.53\00:21:13.84
sorry for their sin and they
repented. They realized that
00:21:13.87\00:21:17.67
they should have left the
whole situation in God's hands.
00:21:17.71\00:21:21.41
They did what they thought was
right and it got them into a lot
00:21:21.44\00:21:25.41
of trouble. But you know what?
God loved Jacob very much even
00:21:25.45\00:21:29.28
though he did the wrong thing.
Thank you boys and girls for
00:21:29.32\00:21:33.22
joining us today in reading the
Bible. It was great to have you
00:21:33.25\00:21:36.42
along. Our story today teaches
us that we need to be patient
00:21:36.46\00:21:40.20
and wait on the Lord to work
things out for us. Ask God to
00:21:40.26\00:21:43.63
help you today to have more
faith to wait on Him. It can
00:21:43.67\00:21:47.00
help keep you from being tempted
and deceiving people into doing
00:21:47.04\00:21:50.91
what you think is best. God
loves you so much. He only wants
00:21:50.94\00:21:54.41
the best for you. Next Sabbath
we are going to study about what
00:21:54.44\00:21:57.91
happened to Jacob.
00:21:57.95\00:22:00.18
We've looked at how we can be
a blessing to others and do good
00:22:00.22\00:22:05.85
on the Sabbath. When we read
the Bible it draws us closer to
00:22:05.89\00:22:10.53
Jesus. Then the Holy Spirit
works in our lives and we can
00:22:10.59\00:22:15.06
become more thoughtful toward
others. Because of this we want
00:22:15.10\00:22:19.50
to encourage you to read your
Bibles, not just on the Sabbath
00:22:19.53\00:22:24.01
but every day. Auntie Nat, can
you share with us the devotional
00:22:24.04\00:22:28.48
that's relating
to our study today?
00:22:28.51\00:22:30.08
Sure. We have a seven-day
devotional study available
00:22:30.15\00:22:33.82
on Jacob and Esau, the subject
we studied together today. This
00:22:33.88\00:22:37.85
devotional expands on what we've
learnt. You can download it and
00:22:37.89\00:22:41.86
print it free from our website.
www.adaywiththeking.com.
00:22:41.89\00:22:46.19
This will help you to read your
Bible every day and to spend
00:22:46.23\00:22:50.20
time getting to know God. Auntie
Cecily will we read our memory
00:22:50.23\00:22:54.20
verse?
00:22:54.24\00:22:55.57
Yes. Are you ready to
say it all together children?
00:22:55.60\00:22:57.37
Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are
an abomination to the Lord but
00:22:57.41\00:23:05.65
those who deal
truthfully are His delight.
00:23:05.68\00:23:09.48
Auntie Nat, are you ready to
sing our blessing song to the
00:23:09.52\00:23:12.42
children? Sure let's do that.
00:23:12.45\00:23:14.56
¤May God bless you and keep you
and fill your heart with love¤
00:23:14.59\00:23:27.90
¤May God guide and protect
you and watch you from above¤
00:23:27.94\00:23:38.55
¤And Sabbath after Sabbath
we greet the day of rest¤
00:23:38.58\00:23:49.19
¤The day the King of glory
has sanctified and blessed¤
00:23:49.22\00:23:59.83
¤Good bye my
friend, till we meet again¤
00:23:59.87\00:24:04.74
¤For another day with the King¤
00:24:04.77\00:24:10.31
Good bye, good bye.
See you next Sabbath.
