Hello there. Happy Sabbath.
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.03
Come on in. We're
about to meet with the King.
00:00:03.06\00:00:05.33
¤ ¤
00:00:07.64\00:00:52.51
Hello there. I'm Auntie Cecily.
00:00:52.55\00:00:54.65
We're about to open the Sabbath.
00:00:54.68\00:00:56.62
Come and join us as we meet with
00:00:56.65\00:00:58.49
the King. Hello Auntie Nat. It's
good to see you here again too.
00:00:58.52\00:01:02.36
It's great to be here.
00:01:02.39\00:01:04.03
Hello boys and girls. We're glad
you're all here to help us to
00:01:04.06\00:01:08.10
meet with the King as well.
And hello Teddy. You're looking
00:01:08.13\00:01:12.13
very quiet and ready for a
Sabbath day's rest as well.
00:01:12.17\00:01:15.60
Auntie Nat, can you please say
a prayer for us to welcome in
00:01:15.64\00:01:20.38
our Sabbath.
00:01:20.41\00:01:22.04
Sure. Dear Lord, we thank
and praise Your name for who You
00:01:22.08\00:01:25.71
are and what you've done for us.
We thank you for dying on the
00:01:25.75\00:01:29.38
cross for us so that we can
be forgiven for our sins when we
00:01:29.42\00:01:32.55
ask. And we just thank you for
the beautiful Sabbath where we
00:01:32.59\00:01:35.69
can rest in you. We ask
this in Jesus' name. Amen.
00:01:35.72\00:01:38.83
Amen. Do you know it's a great
time to reflect on our week
00:01:38.86\00:01:43.63
and count the blessings that
God has sent us. Sarah, is there
00:01:43.67\00:01:48.40
something that's happened
that you can thank God for?
00:01:48.44\00:01:50.81
Yes. Well my dad works in
Queens- land and he has to
00:01:50.84\00:01:54.91
travel up there. And there've
been lots of things happening in
00:01:54.94\00:01:58.58
the air at the moment with
planes and so we were a bit
00:01:58.61\00:02:01.98
worried that when flew up there
something could have happened.
00:02:02.02\00:02:05.29
But luckily we got word from him
now that he's up there safely
00:02:05.32\00:02:08.09
and we're glad that he's up
there safely and God was with
00:02:08.12\00:02:10.13
him. Oh yes that's very good
isn't it? Auntie Cecily you have
00:02:10.16\00:02:15.66
a blessing to
share with us as well.
00:02:15.70\00:02:18.37
Yes. We've been getting to know
who God is over these past weeks
00:02:18.40\00:02:22.97
and we know now that God is our
Deliverer and God is holy and
00:02:23.00\00:02:27.54
God is the I Am and God is
compassionate and God is our
00:02:27.58\00:02:31.71
Provider and God is Love and
God is a God of order and a God
00:02:31.75\00:02:36.42
of mercy and is sacrificial.
That's a big word isn't it?
00:02:36.45\00:02:41.09
God's also our Creator and He's
long-suffering. Remember we said
00:02:41.12\00:02:45.09
long-suffering means that He's
patient. So now I 'm going to
00:02:45.16\00:02:50.00
add one more. God is trustworthy
Later on in our Bible study
00:02:50.03\00:02:54.54
we're going to learn how the
children of Israel lost their
00:02:54.57\00:02:58.77
trust in God. God had spent all
this time, up until now in our
00:02:58.81\00:03:02.98
studies, building up the
Israelites trust in Him. He
00:03:03.04\00:03:06.92
brought them out of Egypt and
through the Red Sea and He gave
00:03:06.95\00:03:11.32
them victory over the Egyptians
and He provided them food to eat
00:03:11.35\00:03:15.72
and water to drink and He
protected them. And He showed
00:03:15.76\00:03:19.53
up in great glory on Mount Sinai
and He spoke the 10 commandments
00:03:19.56\00:03:24.53
to them. And He dwelt among
them in the sanctuary. But their
00:03:24.57\00:03:29.27
trust crumbled in God when they
had to make a big decision. They
00:03:29.30\00:03:34.58
forgot who God was, and Proverbs
tells us trust in God and not to
00:03:34.61\00:03:39.91
lean to our own understanding.
That's what happened to the
00:03:39.95\00:03:44.09
children of Israel time and time
again. They made choices in what
00:03:44.12\00:03:49.52
they thought was right instead
of trusting God. As humans we
00:03:49.59\00:03:53.60
can get ourselves into a bit of
a pickle when we don't trust God
00:03:53.63\00:03:57.63
can't we? So let's
remember God is trustworthy.
00:03:57.67\00:04:01.20
Amen. Thank you Auntie Cecily.
Do you know another way that we
00:04:01.27\00:04:05.71
can worship God on the Sabbath
is through song, and guess what?
00:04:05.74\00:04:10.18
We have Pastor Rick here
again. Thanks Pastor Rick.
00:04:10.21\00:04:12.78
Hi Auntie Nat. Hello children.
00:04:12.81\00:04:15.92
Let's sing In My
Heart There Rings a Melody.
00:04:15.95\00:04:18.92
Pastor Rick can we please sing
I Have Decided to Follow Jesus?
00:05:27.69\00:05:33.36
Yes, we can.
00:05:33.40\00:05:37.20
Thanks Pastor Rick. It's lovely
to praise God in song. Now it's
00:06:20.68\00:06:26.75
time to see what blessing Dr.
John has got for us this week.
00:06:26.82\00:06:30.25
Let's go and have a
look at that shall we?
00:06:30.29\00:06:32.52
¤ ¤Hello boys and girls. My name
is Dr. John Hammond and welcome
00:06:32.55\00:06:41.20
to Sunnyside, the Australian
home of Mrs. Ellen G. White.
00:06:41.23\00:06:45.17
I have some interesting stories
for you. Just come inside with
00:06:45.23\00:06:49.87
me. You're going to like this.
00:06:49.90\00:06:54.34
Hello boys and girls. Welcome
back to Sunnyside. The house has
00:06:54.38\00:06:57.81
so many memories. I've got some
interesting things to show you.
00:06:57.85\00:07:02.92
In fact, I think we'll start at
the kitchen. Come with me. ¤ ¤
00:07:02.95\00:07:08.02
Boys and girls this is the
kitchen. This is where all the
00:07:08.06\00:07:18.03
action was in the house, after
the workroom. Where's the stove?
00:07:18.07\00:07:22.60
No stove because houses used
to burn down. The cook house
00:07:22.64\00:07:27.01
was outside. The washing
machine? Well that is the
00:07:27.04\00:07:30.88
washing machine there; you
rubbed your clothes on that.
00:07:30.91\00:07:33.48
You always had a kettle going
on a little stove and that was
00:07:33.52\00:07:37.62
in the next room. But there
was a secret room in this house
00:07:37.65\00:07:40.99
and some people aren't sure
whether it was Ellen White's
00:07:41.02\00:07:45.33
prayer room. But many people
want to come and pray in Ellen
00:07:45.36\00:07:49.20
White's prayer room. Did you
know it existed? Come over here
00:07:49.23\00:07:54.60
and I'll show you. ¤ ¤ If you'd
like to come and have a look.
00:07:54.64\00:08:00.81
Isn't that a cozy little room
to come and say your prayers.
00:08:00.84\00:08:05.68
And even now people say, Can we
go into the secret prayer room
00:08:05.71\00:08:09.95
even though we're not sure that
it was Ellen White's prayer room
00:08:09.98\00:08:13.79
it's still is a lovely room
to visit and to pray. Now if you
00:08:13.82\00:08:17.56
come with me we're going to have
a look at the room next door. ¤
00:08:17.59\00:08:22.86
¤ Children, welcome to
the happiest room in the whole
00:08:22.90\00:08:29.87
house. This is the dining room.
This is where people sat and ate
00:08:29.90\00:08:34.44
and laughed and prayed and I
don't think Ellen had many meals
00:08:34.48\00:08:38.68
on her own. She always had
visitors plus the kids just like
00:08:38.71\00:08:42.45
you. Now Ella I'm wondering
whether you could be my guest.
00:08:42.48\00:08:46.32
This table is rather expensive
now even though it's very old.
00:08:46.35\00:08:50.76
Have a seat and I'll put the
seat in like a gentleman. Now
00:08:50.79\00:08:55.70
have we got. Would you like
some crocodile soup? No I think
00:08:55.73\00:09:00.60
the soup was probably
lentil with onion and a bit of
00:09:00.64\00:09:04.64
of potato. Wouldn't that be
beautiful. Which was the soup
00:09:04.67\00:09:08.81
spoon? That one. And what's the
main course? Probably patties
00:09:08.84\00:09:13.88
and corn and beans and peas, all
the things that they grew here.
00:09:13.92\00:09:18.89
And so many people who are
now dead but they all remembered
00:09:18.92\00:09:22.29
that Ellen White was a
wonderful hostess and always
00:09:22.32\00:09:26.19
had people sitting at her table.
And now we're going to finish
00:09:26.23\00:09:30.13
off by walking around the
outside of Sunnyside. There's
00:09:30.17\00:09:33.90
some very interesting things
to see. Follow me. ¤ ¤ Well boys
00:09:33.94\00:09:42.01
and girls, welcome to the
South Sea Islands Museum, very
00:09:42.04\00:09:46.51
interesting. We'll show you some
time. But this is an historic
00:09:46.55\00:09:50.59
spot because Ellen White would
write inside, but sometimes on a
00:09:50.62\00:09:54.32
lovely sunny day she would
come out here with a chair and a
00:09:54.36\00:09:58.19
writing board and she would
write, not under this tree but
00:09:58.23\00:10:02.16
maybe this tree's grandson
because the original pine tree
00:10:02.20\00:10:07.14
had gone and she wrote one of
her most important books apart
00:10:07.17\00:10:11.71
from the Bible probably more
people have been won to Jesus
00:10:11.74\00:10:16.34
by reading the Desire of Ages.
It is just a fabulous book. And
00:10:16.38\00:10:20.82
she sat here and she wrote a
large portion of it here. Now I
00:10:20.85\00:10:25.52
want you to come with me ¤ ¤
Boys and girls we have arrived
00:10:25.55\00:10:30.19
at the back and this is the well
or the cistern. They had a lot
00:10:30.23\00:10:34.96
of water problems here and they
dug this over 90 years ago. You
00:10:35.00\00:10:38.93
can't fall down there because
they've sealed it off. We don't
00:10:38.97\00:10:42.80
to lose any visitors here, but
this was a very important part.
00:10:42.84\00:10:46.47
Somebody would come out that
door several times a day just to
00:10:46.51\00:10:50.25
fill up the bucket. No taps
to turn on. But come with me and
00:10:50.28\00:10:54.45
I'll show you where the bake
house was. It's over here. ¤ ¤
00:10:54.48\00:10:58.45
Boys and girls, we're at the
very back of the back yard of
00:10:58.52\00:11:02.66
Sunnyside and this is where they
did their cooking. Right away
00:11:02.69\00:11:06.06
so the house wouldn't burn
on fire. Which would you prefer?
00:11:06.09\00:11:09.46
To slave away in the bake house
or be the person to go out in
00:11:09.50\00:11:12.83
the street and get the ice
and the cool water. I think you
00:11:12.87\00:11:15.57
would have gone for the water.
This would have been very, very
00:11:15.60\00:11:19.01
hot on a summer's day like this,
but this is where they did all
00:11:19.04\00:11:23.55
their cooking. Life was a lot
different 100 years ago here at
00:11:23.58\00:11:27.58
Sunnyside. I hope you've enjoyed
your tour of Sunnyside. I'd love
00:11:27.62\00:11:31.15
you to come back. And come and
visit the museum as well. It's
00:11:31.19\00:11:34.69
been such a wonderful
time. Thank you boys and girls.
00:11:34.72\00:11:36.86
Hi boys and girls. Happy Sabbath
Welcome to our Bible study. Have
00:11:36.89\00:11:41.46
you got your Bibles ready? I
hope you have because you can
00:11:41.50\00:11:44.73
read along with us. Aunt Cecily
can you please say a prayer for
00:11:44.77\00:11:48.34
us to open our Bible study.
00:11:48.37\00:11:50.77
Dear Father, thank you for the
blessing of our Bibles. We just
00:11:50.81\00:11:55.24
pray that You would be with
us as we study our Bibles and we
00:11:55.28\00:11:59.78
just ask a blessing on the boys
and girls that they might learn
00:11:59.81\00:12:04.32
and understand and
love to follow your word.
00:12:04.35\00:12:06.89
In Jesus' name. Amen.
00:12:06.92\00:12:09.36
Amen. Now do you remember last
Sabbath we spoke a lot about
00:12:09.39\00:12:12.79
how the Israelites complained
a lot and the consequences that
00:12:12.83\00:12:16.16
happened because of that. And
we learned that we need to trust
00:12:16.20\00:12:19.77
God more, didn't we? Mmm.
God knows best. Okay. So the
00:12:19.80\00:12:24.01
the children of Israel had
now come to the border of the
00:12:24.04\00:12:28.44
promised land at a place called
Kadesh in the wilderness of
00:12:28.48\00:12:32.41
Paran. And Auntie Cecily is just
going to point to that area on
00:12:32.48\00:12:36.38
map. And Ella you're
going to be the first to read in
00:12:36.45\00:12:39.79
Numbers 13:1-2 please.
00:12:39.82\00:12:45.06
And the Lord spoke to Moses
saying, send men to spy out the
00:12:45.09\00:12:48.66
land of Canaan which I have
given to the children of Israel.
00:12:48.70\00:12:53.10
From each tribe of their
fathers you shall send a man,
00:12:53.13\00:12:57.51
everyone a leader among them.
00:12:57.54\00:12:58.87
So God wants Moses to send
12 spies out into the land of
00:12:58.91\00:13:02.94
Canaan. Nick, can you please
read for us Numbers 13:17-20.
00:13:02.98\00:13:08.28
Then Moses sent them to spy out
the land of Canaan and said to
00:13:08.32\00:13:12.85
them, Go up this way and to the
south and go up to the mountains
00:13:12.89\00:13:17.39
and see what the land is like,
whether the people who dwell
00:13:17.43\00:13:22.33
in it are strong or weak, few
or many; whether the land they
00:13:22.36\00:13:27.24
dwell in is good or bad; whether
the cities they inhabit are like
00:13:27.27\00:13:31.21
camps or strongholds; whether
the land is rich or poor and
00:13:31.24\00:13:37.05
whether there are forests
or not. Be of good courage and
00:13:37.08\00:13:42.78
bring some fruit out of the land
Now the time was the season of
00:13:42.82\00:13:46.45
the first ripe grapes.
00:13:46.52\00:13:47.92
So Moses wants to find out as
much as possible about the land
00:13:47.96\00:13:53.60
before they go in. Elijah, can
you read Numbers 13:23 and 25
00:13:53.66\00:13:59.27
please.
00:13:59.30\00:14:01.94
Then they came to the Valley
of Eshcol and there cut down a
00:14:01.97\00:14:05.74
branch with one cluster of
grapes. They carried it between
00:14:05.77\00:14:09.44
two of them on a pole. They also
brought some of the pomegranates
00:14:09.48\00:14:13.42
and figs and they returned
from spying out the land after
00:14:13.45\00:14:17.39
forty days.
00:14:17.42\00:14:19.32
Wow. So we just read they
brought back a cluster of grapes
00:14:19.35\00:14:23.26
held between two men. Auntie
Cecily's got a picture there to
00:14:23.29\00:14:27.20
show you what they may
have looked like. We know that a
00:14:27.23\00:14:31.63
normal bunch of grapes like
we buy in the supermarket today,
00:14:31.67\00:14:34.14
you can see them on the table
and they're normally very small
00:14:34.17\00:14:38.31
aren't they. But this was really
big. It was pretty amazing. The
00:14:38.34\00:14:42.28
spies told them that the land
of Canaan flowed with milk and
00:14:42.31\00:14:46.61
honey which means the land
was very productive and fertile.
00:14:46.65\00:14:50.15
Let's see what else they have
to report. Kate can you please
00:14:50.19\00:14:53.69
read for us Numbers 13:28-32.
00:14:53.72\00:14:57.49
Nevertheless the people who
dwell in the land are strong,
00:14:57.53\00:15:02.00
the cities are fortified and
very large. Moreover we saw the
00:15:02.03\00:15:06.97
descendants of Anak there. The
Amalekites dwell in the land of
00:15:07.00\00:15:11.87
the South; the Hittites, the
Jebusites and the Amorites dwell
00:15:11.91\00:15:16.75
in the mountains and the
Canaanites dwell by the sea and
00:15:16.78\00:15:20.15
on the banks of the Jordan. Then
Caleb quieted the people before
00:15:20.18\00:15:25.75
Moses and said, Let us go up at
once and take possession for we
00:15:25.79\00:15:31.29
are well able to overcome
it. But the men who had gone out
00:15:31.36\00:15:34.90
with him said, We are not able
to go up against the people for
00:15:34.93\00:15:38.80
they are stronger than we and
they gave the children of Israel
00:15:38.83\00:15:42.70
a bad report of the land which
they had spied out saying, The
00:15:42.74\00:15:46.14
land through which we have gone
as spies is a land that devours
00:15:46.17\00:15:50.35
its inhabitants and all the
people whom we saw in it are men
00:15:50.38\00:15:54.52
of great stature.
00:15:54.55\00:15:56.35
Thanks Kate.
00:15:56.38\00:15:57.72
So Caleb trusted God and had
confidence that He would help
00:15:58.75\00:16:02.79
them to come into possession of
the land. But the other spies,
00:16:02.82\00:16:06.09
what sort of report did they
give? Bad report. Bad report
00:16:06.13\00:16:09.93
saying the land was full of
fortified cities and giants that
00:16:09.96\00:16:13.90
would devour them. So let's see
what happens next. Dean, can you
00:16:13.94\00:16:17.87
read for us Numbers
14:1-2 and 4-5, please.
00:16:17.91\00:16:22.11
So all the congregation lifted
up their voices and cried and
00:16:22.14\00:16:29.82
the people wept that night
and all the children of Israel
00:16:29.85\00:16:31.95
complained against Moses and
Aaron and the whole congregation
00:16:31.99\00:16:35.89
said to them, If only we had
died in the land of Egypt or if
00:16:35.92\00:16:40.36
only we had died in this
wilderness. So they said to one
00:16:40.40\00:16:44.73
another, Let us elect a leader
and return to Egypt. Then Moses
00:16:44.80\00:16:49.37
and Aaron fell on their faces
before all the assembly of the
00:16:49.40\00:16:53.98
congregation of
the children of Israel.
00:16:54.01\00:16:57.18
So sad story; the children lost
their trust and faith in God and
00:16:57.21\00:17:01.28
they started complaining again
against the leadership of Moses
00:17:01.35\00:17:06.05
and Aaron. Anna you have our
next reading: Numbers 14:6-10
00:17:06.09\00:17:10.76
please.
00:17:10.79\00:17:12.29
But Joshua the son of Nun and
Caleb the son of Jephunneh who
00:17:12.36\00:17:18.27
were among those who had spied
out the land tore their clothes
00:17:18.33\00:17:24.21
and they spoke to all the
congregation of the children of
00:17:24.27\00:17:29.44
Israel saying, The land we
have passed through to spy is an
00:17:29.48\00:17:35.98
exceedingly good land. If the
Lord delights in us then He will
00:17:36.02\00:17:39.92
bring us into the land and give
it to us, a land which flows
00:17:39.95\00:17:44.96
with milk and honey. Only do not
rebel against the Lord nor fear
00:17:44.99\00:17:49.53
the people of the land for they
are our bread; their protection
00:17:49.56\00:17:54.74
has departed from them and
the Lord is with us. Do not fear
00:17:54.77\00:17:59.94
them. And all the congregation
said to stone them with stones.
00:17:59.97\00:18:05.11
Now the glory of the Lord
appeared in the tabernacle of
00:18:05.15\00:18:10.12
meeting before all
the children of Israel.
00:18:10.15\00:18:15.09
Thanks Anna. So Joshua and Caleb
were the only two spies out of
00:18:15.12\00:18:19.49
12 that stood firm with their
faithful report. They believed
00:18:19.53\00:18:24.23
and trust that God would deliver
them. Now we read in verse 10
00:18:24.27\00:18:28.57
that the people went up to stone
Joshua and Caleb because they
00:18:28.60\00:18:33.44
were so angry with them for
being faithful. But God showed
00:18:33.48\00:18:37.98
up with His glory and power
through a flaming light in the
00:18:38.01\00:18:41.48
sanctuary. The people who were
about to stone them ran away
00:18:41.52\00:18:45.49
and Joshua and Caleb were saved
by God. Let's look at our Torch
00:18:45.52\00:18:48.92
Light, Mrs. White's writings,
to see what they shine on these
00:18:48.99\00:18:52.39
verses that we have read. Ella
you're going to read our Torch
00:18:52.43\00:18:55.83
Light today. Can you
do that for us please.
00:18:55.86\00:19:00.97
The people did not wait to
00:19:01.00\00:19:04.27
reflect. They did not reason
00:19:04.31\00:19:07.48
that He who had brought them
thus far would certainly give
00:19:07.51\00:19:10.45
them the land. They did not call
to mind how wonderfully God had
00:19:10.48\00:19:14.32
delivered them from
their oppressors cutting a path
00:19:14.35\00:19:17.82
through the sea and destroying
the pursuing hosts of Pharaoh.
00:19:17.85\00:19:21.42
They left God out of the
question and acted as though
00:19:21.46\00:19:25.16
they must depend solely on
the powers of arms. In their
00:19:25.19\00:19:28.86
unbelief they
limited the power of God.
00:19:28.90\00:19:31.30
Wow. That is such an important
lesson for us to learn from the
00:19:31.33\00:19:35.60
children of Israel that we
should not lose our trust and
00:19:35.64\00:19:39.11
faith in God no matter what is
going on. Let's read our memory
00:19:39.17\00:19:42.94
verse together. And
that's found in Isaiah 26:4.
00:19:42.98\00:19:48.08
Isaiah 26:4. You ready?
00:19:48.12\00:19:51.99
Trust in the Lord forever.
00:19:52.02\00:19:55.82
Okay, let's see what happens
next. Aunt Cecily can you please
00:19:55.86\00:20:01.06
read Numbers 14:11-12.
00:20:01.10\00:20:04.03
Then the Lord said to Moses, How
long will these people reject Me
00:20:04.07\00:20:10.87
and how long will they not
believe me with all the signs
00:20:10.91\00:20:15.74
which I have performed among
them. I will strike them with
00:20:15.78\00:20:20.35
the pestilence and disinherit
them and I will make of you a
00:20:20.38\00:20:24.95
nation greater and
mightier than they.
00:20:24.99\00:20:32.63
So God is not happy. He wants
to disinherit the Israelites. Oh
00:20:32.66\00:20:35.06
dear. Doesn't sound too good
does it. Let's see what Moses
00:20:35.10\00:20:38.57
does. Nick, can you please
read for us Numbers 14:19-20.
00:20:38.60\00:20:43.41
Pardon the iniquity of this
people, I pray, according to the
00:20:43.44\00:20:47.64
greatness of Your mercy just
as you have forgiven this people
00:20:47.71\00:20:52.45
from Egypt even until now. Then
the Lord said, I have pardoned
00:20:52.48\00:20:57.19
according to your word.
00:20:57.22\00:20:58.55
So Moses interceded again for
the children of Israel and God
00:20:58.59\00:21:03.99
forgave them. God is so good.
But there were some consequences
00:21:04.03\00:21:09.76
to their rebellion. Elijah, can
you please read Numbers 14:29-31
00:21:09.80\00:21:15.10
The carcasses of you who have
complained against me shall fall
00:21:15.14\00:21:19.77
in this wilderness. All of you
who were numbered according to
00:21:19.81\00:21:24.61
your entire number from 20 years
old and above, except for Caleb
00:21:24.65\00:21:30.52
the son of Jephunneh and Joshua
the son of Nun, you shall by no
00:21:30.55\00:21:34.96
means enter the land which I
swore I would make you dwell in.
00:21:34.99\00:21:39.59
But your little ones whom you
said would be victims, I will
00:21:39.63\00:21:43.70
bring in and they shall know the
land which you have despised.
00:21:43.73\00:21:47.77
Okay. Thanks Elijah.
Kate can you read for us
00:21:47.80\00:21:52.17
Numbers 14:34-37 please.
00:21:52.21\00:21:55.58
According to the number of the
days in which you spied out the
00:21:55.61\00:22:01.12
land, 40 days, for every day you
shall bear your guilt one year,
00:22:01.15\00:22:06.69
namely 40 years you shall know
my rejection. I, the Lord, have
00:22:06.72\00:22:11.16
spoken this. I will surely do
so to all this evil congregation
00:22:11.19\00:22:15.63
who are gathered together
against me. In this wilderness
00:22:15.66\00:22:20.44
they shall be consumed and there
they shall die. Now the men whom
00:22:20.47\00:22:25.31
Moses sent to spy out the land
who returned and made all the
00:22:25.37\00:22:29.24
congregation complain against
him by bringing a bad report
00:22:29.28\00:22:33.21
on the land, those very men who
brought the evil report about
00:22:33.25\00:22:37.12
the land died by the
plague before the Lord.
00:22:37.15\00:22:41.96
Thanks Kate. So God is turning
them back into the desert for
00:22:41.99\00:22:45.86
40 years. Everyone above 20
years old will die in the desert
00:22:45.89\00:22:49.66
Only the children below 20 years
of age and Joshua and Caleb will
00:22:49.73\00:22:55.20
enter into the promised land.
As we read in verse 37, the
00:22:55.24\00:22:59.11
other 10 spies who gave a
bad report died of the plague
00:22:59.14\00:23:02.94
because of their unfaithfulness.
It's very sobering, isn't it?
00:23:02.98\00:23:06.98
After all this happened God
wanted to provide evidence to
00:23:07.02\00:23:10.75
prove to the entire encampment
that Aaron was God's chosen
00:23:10.79\00:23:14.49
servant to serve as high priest.
God asked Moses to collect a rod
00:23:14.52\00:23:19.13
from each of the 12 tribes of
Israel, put their names on them
00:23:19.19\00:23:23.57
and place them in the tabernacle
before the Lord. Anna can you
00:23:23.60\00:23:27.97
please read for
us Numbers 17:8-10.
00:23:28.00\00:23:31.24
Now it came to pass on the next
day that Moses went into the
00:23:31.27\00:23:36.48
tabernacle of Witness and behold
the rod of Aaron of the house of
00:23:36.54\00:23:41.18
Levi had sprouted and put forth
buds and produced blossoms and
00:23:41.22\00:23:45.79
yielded ripe almonds. The Moses
brought out all the rods from
00:23:45.82\00:23:50.39
before the Lord to all the
children of Israel and they
00:23:50.43\00:23:54.03
looked and each man took his
rod. And the Lord said to Moses,
00:23:54.06\00:23:58.97
Bring Aaron's rod back before
the testimony to be kept as a
00:23:59.00\00:24:03.27
sign against the rebels that
ye may put their complaints away
00:24:03.30\00:24:07.51
from Me lest they die.
00:24:07.54\00:24:09.81
Wow. So Aaron's rod budded
as proof that God had ordained
00:24:09.84\00:24:15.15
Aaron to
00:24:15.18\00:24:16.52
the priesthood. In verse 10 it
tells us that Aaron's budded rod
00:24:16.55\00:24:19.39
was to go into the Ark of the
Covenant. And remember when we
00:24:19.42\00:24:22.22
showed you what was in the
Ark of the Covenant, it was the
00:24:22.26\00:24:25.13
10 commandments, the pot of
manna and Aaron's budded rod.
00:24:25.16\00:24:28.66
The children of Israel
lost sight of God's leading many
00:24:28.70\00:24:32.10
times. They rebelled again
and again, but each time Moses
00:24:32.13\00:24:35.47
interceded on their behalf to
save them from utter destruction
00:24:35.50\00:24:39.67
despite all their murmuring and
complaining God still took care
00:24:39.71\00:24:43.85
of them. Thank you boys and
girls for being with us today.
00:24:43.88\00:24:46.61
God loves you so much. Rebelling
against God only leads to a lot
00:24:46.65\00:24:50.45
of trouble as we found out
in our study today. We need to
00:24:50.49\00:24:54.22
trust God more that He
knows best. You can download our
00:24:54.26\00:24:57.89
seven day devotional which
goes into more detail on what we
00:24:57.93\00:25:01.53
studied today. Here's
how you can do just that.
00:25:01.56\00:25:04.53

00:25:24.05\00:25:28.22
When we keep the Sabbath
day like God asks us to, we're
00:25:28.26\00:25:33.19
saying that God is our King.
Joshua and Caleb also made a
00:25:33.23\00:25:37.97
decision to choose God to be
their King. Reading our Bibles
00:25:38.00\00:25:42.70
helps us to make the right
choices in life and to know
00:25:42.74\00:25:46.81
whom we should serve. The
Sabbath's a great time to spend
00:25:46.84\00:25:50.85
in reading our Bibles, but God
also wants us to read our Bibles
00:25:50.88\00:25:53.62
every day. Auntie Nat, what are
we going to study about in our
00:25:53.65\00:25:59.12
Bibles next Sabbath?
00:25:59.15\00:26:00.49
Yes, next Sabbath is
an important one. We'll be
00:26:00.52\00:26:03.69
learning how God does keep
His promises and we'll also be
00:26:03.73\00:26:07.83
looking at Moses' and God's
relationship. Do you know that
00:26:07.86\00:26:10.40
they were best friends. God can
be your best friend too, so I
00:26:10.47\00:26:16.30
don't want you to miss out on
next week. Do make sure you come
00:26:16.34\00:26:19.31
back. Auntie Cecily will we
look at our memory verse that we
00:26:19.34\00:26:22.31
learnt today in our study.
00:26:22.34\00:26:23.68
Yes, we've got an
easy one to learn today.
00:26:23.71\00:26:25.91
Let's read it together children.
00:26:25.95\00:26:27.58
Isaiah 26:4 Trust
in the Lord forever.
00:26:27.62\00:26:33.92
Amen. That's a good one to
learn. Auntie Nat, are you ready
00:26:33.96\00:26:37.36
to sing our blessing
song. Children, do you want to
00:26:37.39\00:26:39.09
turn around and sing to
the boys and girls at home?
00:26:39.13\00:26:42.13
¤May God bless you and keep you
and fill you heart with love¤
00:26:42.16\00:26:59.25
¤May God guide and protect
you and watch from above¤
00:26:59.28\00:27:09.52
¤As Sabbath after Sabbath
we greet the day of rest¤
00:27:09.59\00:27:19.63
¤The day the king of glory
has sanctified and blessed¤
00:27:19.67\00:27:29.68
¤Good bye my
friends till we meet again¤
00:27:29.74\00:27:34.82
¤For another day with the King¤
00:27:34.85\00:27:41.26
Good bye, good bye
See you next Sabbath.
00:27:41.32\00:27:43.89
