Hello there and Happy Sabbath.
00:00:01.36\00:00:04.30
Come on in. We're
about to meet with the King.
00:00:04.33\00:00:07.67
¤ ¤
00:00:07.70\00:00:55.12
Good day. I'm Auntie Nat.
00:00:55.15\00:00:56.99
And I'm Auntie Cecily.
00:00:57.02\00:00:58.75
We're so glad that
you've decided to join us in our
00:00:58.79\00:01:00.96
worship time together to
welcome in the Sabbath aren't
00:01:00.99\00:01:03.09
we kids. Yes. Auntie Cecily. I
know you want to say a big hello
00:01:03.12\00:01:07.70
to someone who's
been watching the program.
00:01:07.73\00:01:10.13
Yes, I want to say a big
hello to Sarah from Queensland.
00:01:10.17\00:01:13.37
Hello Sarah. Hello Sarah. Hi.
00:01:13.40\00:01:16.67
We also can't forget to
say hello to Teddy. Teddy is so
00:01:16.71\00:01:21.04
wonderful to have you back on
the couch with us again. Auntie
00:01:21.08\00:01:24.35
Cecily would you like to say
a prayer for us please before we
00:01:24.38\00:01:27.62
open our worship time together.
00:01:27.65\00:01:29.12
Yes. Let's bow our heads. Dear
Father in heaven, we thank you
00:01:29.15\00:01:33.32
so much for keeping us safe
during the past week. And we
00:01:33.36\00:01:36.73
thank you so much for the
Sabbath and we pray that you
00:01:36.76\00:01:40.06
would be with us
now as we worship you.
00:01:40.10\00:01:42.23
In Jesus' name. Amen.
00:01:42.26\00:01:44.63
Amen. Thanks Auntie Cecily. Did
you have a good week this week?
00:01:44.70\00:01:48.14
I did. I had a rather busy week
but I'm really glad it's the
00:01:48.17\00:01:51.57
Sabbath and I really
enjoy the Sabbath day's rest.
00:01:51.61\00:01:54.34
Aw yes. I'm so grateful that the
Sabbath has arrived because we
00:01:54.38\00:01:58.11
can rest from our busy week. Do
you know that Sabbath is a time
00:01:58.15\00:02:01.82
that we can be a blessing
to others to share Jesus' love.
00:02:01.85\00:02:05.75
We have a blessing box here and
I'm going to get Ben to open the
00:02:05.79\00:02:10.09
box and pull out a blessing
that we can do for someone this
00:02:10.13\00:02:13.46
Sabbath.
00:02:13.50\00:02:16.60
Invite a visitor from church
or a friend home for lunch.
00:02:16.67\00:02:20.24
Wow. So that's the blessing
of hospitality. Do you sometimes
00:02:20.27\00:02:24.11
have people home at lunch at
your place? What's your favorite
00:02:24.14\00:02:27.94
food you like to eat
on Sabbath for lunch? Ben.
00:02:27.98\00:02:30.68
Definitely haystacks.
00:02:30.71\00:02:32.05
That sounds wonderful Ben.
Haystacks is my favorite as well
00:02:32.08\00:02:35.72
but how much more wonderful
to share that with someone else.
00:02:35.75\00:02:38.75
Boys and Girls, have you shared
a meal with someone recently
00:02:38.79\00:02:41.92
to show how much Jesus loves
them. If you have, we would love
00:02:41.96\00:02:45.46
to hear from you so we can
share the blessing here with the
00:02:45.49\00:02:49.00
children. Our contact address is
00:02:49.03\00:02:50.57

00:02:50.60\00:02:51.93
Quick, write it down.

00:02:53.67\00:02:55.70
Um Cecily, I know that
you have a blessing to share
00:02:55.74\00:02:57.07
with us as well.
00:02:57.11\00:02:58.44
Yes. Today I want to talk with
you about the promised land.
00:02:58.47\00:03:00.61
Later in our Bible study we'll
00:03:00.64\00:03:02.81
read how the children of Israel
00:03:02.84\00:03:04.91
finally entered the promised
land, the land of Canaan. God
00:03:04.98\00:03:09.92
kept His promise to Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. But do you know
00:03:09.98\00:03:14.89
that God has also
prepared a promised land for us.
00:03:14.92\00:03:18.06
It's called heaven. There are
promises in the Bible that tell
00:03:18.09\00:03:22.43
us about this. Here's a
beautiful passage found in the
00:03:22.46\00:03:26.03
Bible in John 14:1-3. Jesus is
speaking these words. He says:
00:03:26.07\00:03:32.07
Let not your heart be troubled.
You believe in God, believe also
00:03:32.11\00:03:37.91
in me. In my Father's house are
many mansions. If it were not so
00:03:37.95\00:03:43.28
I would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you and if I
00:03:43.32\00:03:48.19
go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again and receive
00:03:48.22\00:03:53.63
you to myself that where I
am there you may be also. These
00:03:53.70\00:03:59.03
promises give us great hope and
comfort. So remember to believe
00:03:59.07\00:04:03.24
in God's promises.
00:04:03.27\00:04:05.71
Amen. Thanks Auntie Cecily. God
is so good. I can't wait to get
00:04:05.74\00:04:10.05
to the heavenly promised land.
Oh hello Pastor Rick. It's great
00:04:10.08\00:04:14.08
that you've come to join us
in praising God in song. You're
00:04:14.12\00:04:18.05
such a blessing to us.
00:04:18.09\00:04:19.42
It's lovely to be here again.
00:04:19.45\00:04:21.09
And it's just so special to be
00:04:21.12\00:04:22.86
here on Sabbath and to sing
songs to Jesus which is really
00:04:22.92\00:04:26.09
special. I've got a special song
called We Gather to Meet With
00:04:26.13\00:04:29.26
the King. Can we sing
this one together? Yes.
00:04:29.30\00:04:30.63
All right. ¤ ¤
00:04:30.67\00:04:36.97
Pastor Rick can we
sing God Is My Best Friend?
00:05:12.54\00:05:16.68
That's a lovely song
Caleb. Let's sing it together.
00:05:16.71\00:05:21.32
Pastor Rick can we please
sing On Jordan's Stormy Banks?
00:06:18.11\00:06:21.04
Yes we can because
it's a beautiful song.
00:06:21.08\00:06:25.88
Thanks Pastor Rick. It's
so good to praise God in song.
00:07:05.59\00:07:11.69
Guess what. Dr. John's back
with some more wonderful stories
00:07:11.73\00:07:15.80
for us. We learn so much from
his stories don't we? So let's
00:07:15.83\00:07:19.87
go and join him in his study.
00:07:19.90\00:07:22.10
Hello boys and girls. My name
is Dr. John Hammond and welcome
00:07:22.17\00:07:26.94
to my study. And all the boys
and girls around the world, I'm
00:07:26.98\00:07:31.15
so glad that you can join us.
You know, my name is John and
00:07:31.18\00:07:35.78
my middle name is Gilbert and
I am John G. and I'm named after
00:07:35.82\00:07:41.62
this man. He's got more whiskers
than I've got. But his name is
00:07:41.66\00:07:47.66
in my family's name. My mother's
name was Ollie Peyton Duff Howey
00:07:47.70\00:07:54.47
and John G. Peyton was a famous
missionary. He was just a little
00:07:54.50\00:08:01.24
boy in Scotland and he wanted
to be a missionary and he put
00:08:01.28\00:08:05.48
his hand up and he said, I will
go anywhere that God wants me
00:08:05.51\00:08:09.68
to go. And they looked at him
and they said, Would you like
00:08:09.72\00:08:13.89
to go to the New Hebrides.
That's what we call Vanuatu
00:08:13.92\00:08:18.69
these days and the New Hebrides
was a very, very dangerous place
00:08:18.73\00:08:24.03
It was terrible. And he got
married and he got on board a
00:08:24.07\00:08:28.80
boat that took him four months
to get to the Island of Tanna
00:08:28.84\00:08:34.14
and he was scared because there
were cannibals. Now what does a
00:08:34.18\00:08:39.45
cannibal do that we don't
do? Eat people? Eats people.
00:08:39.48\00:08:46.55
And when he landed he could hear
them all yelling and screaming
00:08:46.59\00:08:50.63
and carrying on. He was so
scared. During the night he
00:08:50.66\00:08:55.30
could hear fighting and yelling.
In the morning, he opened his
00:08:55.33\00:08:59.43
trunk and he'd come all the
way from Scotland. You know what
00:08:59.47\00:09:05.44
Scottish people like to bring?
He had brought with him a tea
00:09:05.47\00:09:10.95
pot and he said to his servant I
would like some water for my tea
00:09:10.98\00:09:16.12
pot. Could you go and get it?
And he went down to the spring
00:09:16.15\00:09:19.89
and he got some water and
he came back and he looked very
00:09:19.92\00:09:23.59
sad and he said, Ah Pastor, the
water's not very good it's all
00:09:23.63\00:09:28.23
red because the cannibals were
there last night getting ready
00:09:28.26\00:09:33.57
to eat the bodies. Oh oh. You
know what? He never drank any
00:09:33.60\00:09:39.74
more tea while he was there.
Instead he went and he got a
00:09:39.77\00:09:46.38
coconut and all the time that
he was there he only ever drank
00:09:46.41\00:09:52.09
coconut water because the
cannibals didn't like it. Would
00:09:52.12\00:09:57.73
you like a little sip?. Is that
nice? He lived on coconuts for
00:09:57.76\00:10:05.60
years. And you know the longer
he lived there the harder the
00:10:05.63\00:10:12.21
work became. And then one day he
decided he would teach them how
00:10:12.24\00:10:18.78
to read. And he got all the
boys and girls and he got all
00:10:18.81\00:10:23.12
the cannibal chiefs and he said
the first person who can recite
00:10:23.18\00:10:28.06
the alphabet and write it is
going to get a prize and I have
00:10:28.09\00:10:32.93
a special present here. He said,
I have a red shirt. Look at that
00:10:32.96\00:10:41.54
All those people wore ever was
pigs grease and dirt and maybe
00:10:41.57\00:10:48.61
a feather. Ah, they said, I'd
love a shirt like that and the
00:10:48.64\00:10:55.65
next day an old cannibal
chief, he was the worst of the
00:10:55.68\00:10:59.99
cannibals, he came and put his
hand up and he said, I know, I
00:11:00.02\00:11:02.46
know, I've got the secret. I can
give you the alphabet. Really?
00:11:02.52\00:11:08.90
And he said, A, that's the legs,
two legs without a body, num num
00:11:08.93\00:11:18.51
This was a cannibal alphabet.
B, two eyes, Num num num and he
00:11:18.54\00:11:26.05
went right through the alphabet,
all cannibal alphabet. F was a
00:11:26.11\00:11:32.32
man holding a big club and
a little club. There was a man
00:11:32.35\00:11:39.93
holding three clubs, until he
got to Zed with the broken body
00:11:40.00\00:11:47.54
and he said can I have the
shirt? And you know, he became a
00:11:47.57\00:11:49.47
Christian. He taught the boys
and girls how to say the
alphabet. He couldn't
00:11:49.50\00:11:55.68
stop using his cannibal alphabet
You know, Pastor Peyton had only
00:11:55.74\00:12:01.88
been there for three months
and his wife died and then his
00:12:01.92\00:12:07.02
little baby died 20 days later.
He lost everything he ever had
00:12:07.06\00:12:14.10
And finally all he had left was
a little dog and his name was
00:12:14.13\00:12:21.14
Klootha and Klootha
actually came one night when the
00:12:21.17\00:12:25.07
cannibals were wanting to kill
him, jumped up on the bed and
00:12:25.11\00:12:27.21
he pulled the bedclothes and out
he came and he realized that he
00:12:27.24\00:12:29.34
being surrounded and he got
on his knees and he spoke to the
00:12:33.21\00:12:37.02
people and they finally
settled down. But before he left
00:12:37.05\00:12:41.62
Scotland, an old man said
to him, You will be eaten by
00:12:41.66\00:12:46.16
cannibals. And he said it every
time he saw him. And finally
00:12:46.19\00:12:49.76
John Peyton said, One day you'll
be eaten by worms and I might be
00:12:49.80\00:12:56.30
eaten by cannibals but we'll
still meet in heaven. But you
00:12:56.34\00:13:00.34
know, he was never eaten. He
went through terrible, terrible
00:13:00.38\00:13:05.98
hardships. He was badly treated
but he died an old man, very
00:13:06.01\00:13:11.35
happy and he served God all his
life and he actually died here
00:13:11.39\00:13:16.73
in Australia. And he is
known as the greatest of all our
00:13:16.76\00:13:21.50
missionaries in the
Pacific Islands. A wonderful man
00:13:21.53\00:13:26.27
John Peyton. Thank
you boys and girls.
00:13:26.30\00:13:29.64
Hi boys and girls. Welcome to
our Bible study. If you haven't
00:13:29.67\00:13:32.87
got your Bibles ready yet, go
get them now so you can follow
00:13:32.91\00:13:35.94
along with us. Kate would you
like to say a prayer to open up
00:13:35.98\00:13:39.01
our Bible study today.
00:13:39.05\00:13:40.95
Dear Father thank you for your
word. Be with the children who
00:13:40.98\00:13:45.35
are joining us and help them to
understand what we read today.
00:13:45.42\00:13:49.76
In Jesus' name. Amen.
00:13:49.79\00:13:51.13
Amen. Thank you Kate. Do you
know we're going to start in a
00:13:51.16\00:13:55.10
new book of the Bible today and
that book is Joshua. Now there
00:13:55.13\00:13:59.10
was a man named Joshua who the
book is named after. Now last
00:13:59.13\00:14:02.80
time we met when we finished
our Bible studies, Moses had
00:14:02.84\00:14:06.44
passed away and Joshua was named
the new leader. And Anna can you
00:14:06.47\00:14:10.58
remember where the
children of Israel were?
00:14:10.61\00:14:13.95
At the border of
the promised land.
00:14:13.98\00:14:15.65
Yes they were. And Aunt Cecily's
just going to show on our map
00:14:15.68\00:14:18.59
here where they were. Just
up there, ready to cross over.
00:14:18.62\00:14:22.26
Thanks Aunt Cecily. Now
Anna, you're going to start our
00:14:22.29\00:14:25.86
reading off today
in Joshua 1:2-3 and 5.
00:14:25.89\00:14:32.63
Moses my servant is dead. Now,
therefore, arise. Go over this
00:14:32.70\00:14:37.47
Jordan, you and all this people,
to the land which I am giving
00:14:37.51\00:14:42.34
to them, the children of Israel.
Every place that is the sole of
00:14:42.38\00:14:47.22
your foot will tread upon
I have given you as I said to
00:14:47.25\00:14:53.05
Moses. No man shall be able
to stand before you all the days
00:14:53.09\00:14:57.03
of your life. As I was with
Moses so I will be with you.
00:14:57.06\00:15:00.93
I will not leave
you nor forsake you,
00:15:00.96\00:15:03.70
Wow. So God is telling Joshua
that he wants the children of
00:15:03.73\00:15:07.50
Israel to cross the Jordan
and take possession of the land.
00:15:07.54\00:15:11.54
I like the promise that God is
giving to Joshua in verse 5 that
00:15:11.57\00:15:15.54
just God was with Moses,
He would also be with Joshua.
00:15:15.58\00:15:20.18
Now Matthew you're going to do
our next reading in Joshua 1:7-8
00:15:20.22\00:15:25.62
Finally be strong and very
courageous that you may observe
00:15:25.65\00:15:29.96
to do according to all
the law which Moses my servant
00:15:29.99\00:15:33.50
commanded you. Do not turn from
it to the right hand or to the
00:15:33.53\00:15:36.87
left that you may prosper
wherever you go. This book of
00:15:36.90\00:15:40.17
the law shall not depart
from your mouth but you shall
00:15:40.20\00:15:44.94
meditate in it day and
night that you may observe to do
00:15:44.97\00:15:49.64
according to all that is written
in it. For then you will make
00:15:49.68\00:15:52.81
your way prosperous and
then you will have good success.
00:15:52.85\00:15:55.98
Wow. Thanks Matthew. That
was great reading. So God is
00:15:56.02\00:15:59.09
reminding Joshua how important
it is for the children of Israel
00:15:59.15\00:16:03.26
to keep His commandments because
Matthew just read if they do
00:16:03.29\00:16:07.40
that they will prosper. Now
we're going to continue on to
00:16:07.43\00:16:11.03
the next verse, Joshua 1:9,
and we're going to read that
00:16:11.07\00:16:14.57
together as a memory verse.
Can we do that? Joshua 1:9.
00:16:14.60\00:16:18.04
Let's start.
00:16:18.07\00:16:19.44
Have I not commanded you? Be
strong and of good courage; do
00:16:19.47\00:16:25.91
not be afraid nor be dismayed,
for the Lord your God is with
00:16:25.95\00:16:32.32
you wherever you go.
00:16:32.35\00:16:34.69
Wow. This is a good promise
for us to remember. So Joshua
00:16:34.72\00:16:38.66
decides to send out two men
to spy out the land and he wants
00:16:38.69\00:16:42.60
them to spy the city of
Jericho. And they come to a
00:16:42.63\00:16:47.30
house where Rahab lived and
do you know what the king found
00:16:47.34\00:16:51.21
out and he sent two of his
soldiers and what do you think
00:16:51.24\00:16:55.11
they did. They sent (knock,
knock, knock) on Rahab's door.
00:16:55.14\00:16:58.98
Let's see what
happens. Bethany, can you read
00:16:59.01\00:17:00.98
Joshua 2:3-6 please.
00:17:01.02\00:17:03.22
So the king of Jericho sent to
Rahab saying, Bring out the men
00:17:03.25\00:17:07.76
who have come to you who have
entered your house for they have
00:17:07.79\00:17:12.26
come to search out all the
country. Then the woman took
00:17:12.29\00:17:15.30
the two men and hid them. So
she said, Yes the men came to me
00:17:15.36\00:17:19.20
but I did not know where they
were from and it happened as the
00:17:19.23\00:17:23.64
gate was being shut when it
was dark that the men went out.
00:17:23.67\00:17:28.11
Where the men went I do not
know. Pursue them quickly for
00:17:28.14\00:17:32.55
you may overtake them. But she
had brought them up to the roof
00:17:32.58\00:17:36.12
and hidden them with stalks of
flax which she had laid in order
00:17:36.15\00:17:39.65
on the roof.
00:17:39.69\00:17:41.02
Wow. So Bethany where
did she hide the spies?
00:17:41.06\00:17:43.73
In the um stalks of... yeah.
00:17:43.79\00:17:47.56
Up on the roof didn't she. Yeah.
Okay, Kate I want to read what
00:17:47.60\00:17:52.10
Rahab says to the spies. Can you
do that in Joshua 2:10-11 please
00:17:52.13\00:17:56.60
For we have heard how the Lord
dried up the water of the Red
00:17:56.64\00:18:01.54
Sea for you when you came out
of Egypt and what you did to the
00:18:01.58\00:18:05.75
two kings of the Amorites who
were on the other side of the
00:18:05.78\00:18:10.92
Jordan, Sidon and Og, whom you
utterly destroyed. And as soon
00:18:10.95\00:18:15.62
as we heard these things our
hearts melted; neither did there
00:18:15.66\00:18:19.76
remain any more courage in
anyone because of you, for the
00:18:19.79\00:18:24.17
Lord your God, He is God in
heaven above and on earth below.
00:18:24.20\00:18:28.30
Mmm. Thanks Kate. So Rahab is
telling the spies that all the
00:18:28.34\00:18:32.31
people in the city of Jericho
and Canaan are faint hearted
00:18:32.37\00:18:36.31
because they can see that the
Israelites God is very great.
00:18:36.34\00:18:41.48
Rahab in verse 11 acknowledges
that God is the God of heaven
00:18:41.52\00:18:45.32
above and the earth
beneath. Let's continue Caleb in
00:18:45.35\00:18:49.16
Joshua 2:12-14.
00:18:49.19\00:18:52.29
Now therefore, I beg you, swear
to me by the Lord, since I have
00:18:52.33\00:18:57.40
shown you kindness, that you
also will show kindness to my
00:18:57.43\00:19:02.04
father's house and give me a
true token, and spare my father,
00:19:02.10\00:19:06.44
my mother, my brothers, my
sisters and all that they have
00:19:06.47\00:19:11.31
and deliver our lives from death
So the men answered her, Our
00:19:11.35\00:19:16.02
lives for yours, if none of you
tell this business of ours. And
00:19:16.05\00:19:20.89
it shall be when the Lord has
given us the land that we will
00:19:20.92\00:19:25.73
deal kindly and truly with you.
00:19:25.76\00:19:29.16
Wow. Thanks Caleb. So by
faith Rahab is reaching out and
00:19:29.20\00:19:33.40
choosing to believe in the
Israelites God and is asking
00:19:33.44\00:19:37.57
them to look after her and her
family and not to harm them and
00:19:37.61\00:19:42.04
the two spies promise. Okay J
J let's see what happens next.
00:19:42.08\00:19:46.45
Joshua 2:15.
00:19:46.48\00:19:48.48
Then she let them down by a rope
through the window for her house
00:19:48.52\00:19:54.16
was on the city wall.
She dwelt on the wall.
00:19:54.19\00:19:57.59
Mmm. So Rahab lets them down
out of her window which, just a
00:19:57.63\00:20:01.63
J J said is right on the city
wall so she can let them down
00:20:01.66\00:20:06.97
through the window and the spies
tell Rahab for her to keep her
00:20:07.00\00:20:11.94
family safe and Rahab safe that
she has to hang a red scarlet
00:20:11.97\00:20:16.71
cord in the window. So the spies
have something very interesting
00:20:16.75\00:20:21.48
to say to Joshua when they
get back. Auntie Cecily, can you
00:20:21.52\00:20:23.99
please tell us what
that was in Joshua 2:24.
00:20:24.02\00:20:27.39
And they said to Joshua, Truly
the Lord has delivered all the
00:20:27.46\00:20:32.03
land into our hands for indeed
all the inhabitants of the
00:20:32.06\00:20:36.60
country are faint
hearted because of us.
00:20:36.63\00:20:40.60
Ohhh, hallelujah. Was that
a good report? Yes. Oh it was.
00:20:40.64\00:20:44.24
That's wonderful. So the
children of Israel go to the
00:20:44.27\00:20:48.31
banks of the Jordan River
and camp there for three days.
00:20:48.34\00:20:52.48
Anna, we're going to see what
happens next in Joshua 3:6-8.
00:20:52.51\00:20:56.65
Then Joshua spoke to the priests
saying, Take up the ark of the
00:20:56.69\00:21:00.69
covenant and cross over before
the people. So they took up the
00:21:00.72\00:21:04.36
ark of the covenant and went
before the people. And the Lord
00:21:04.39\00:21:08.53
said to Joshua, This day I will
begin to exalt you in the sight
00:21:08.56\00:21:13.74
of all Israel that they may know
that as I was with Moses so I
00:21:13.77\00:21:18.57
will be with you. You shall
command the priests who bear the
00:21:18.61\00:21:22.51
ark of the covenant, saying,
When you have come to the edge
00:21:22.54\00:21:27.02
of the water of the Jordan,
you shall stand in the Jordan.
00:21:27.05\00:21:31.49
Thanks Anna. So God is
instructing Joshua to tell the
00:21:31.52\00:21:34.66
priests to take the ark of
the covenant and lead the people
00:21:34.69\00:21:38.39
across the river. God also
tells Joshua He's going to do
00:21:38.46\00:21:42.06
something that will show the
Israelites that Joshua is God's
00:21:42.10\00:21:46.67
appointed leader. By faith the
priests had to put their feet in
00:21:46.70\00:21:51.24
the river. Matthew
can you please continue in
00:21:51.27\00:21:53.88
Joshua 3:15-17.
00:21:53.91\00:21:58.55
And as those who bore the ark
came to the Jordan and the feet
00:21:58.58\00:22:03.32
of the priests who bore the ark
dipped in the edge of the water
00:22:03.35\00:22:07.39
(for the Jordan overflows all
its banks during the whole time
00:22:07.42\00:22:11.36
of the harvest), that the waters
which came down from upstream
00:22:11.39\00:22:15.50
stood still and rose in a heap
very far away at Adam, the city
00:22:15.53\00:22:20.50
that is beside Zaretan. So the
waters that went down into the
00:22:20.54\00:22:25.77
Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea,
failed and were cut off and the
00:22:25.81\00:22:30.98
people crossed over opposite
Jericho. Then the priests who
00:22:31.01\00:22:34.38
bore the ark of the covenant
of the Lord stood firm on dry
00:22:34.42\00:22:37.85
ground in the midst of the
Jordan and all Israel crossed
00:22:37.89\00:22:40.86
over on dry ground until
all of the people had crossed
00:22:40.89\00:22:43.79
completely over the Jordan.
00:22:43.83\00:22:45.53
Wow. Thanks Matthew. So once
those priests' feet were in the
00:22:45.56\00:22:51.20
water then God parted the Jordan
River and the children of Israel
00:22:51.23\00:22:55.87
could cross on the dry riverbed.
Isn't God good. Yes. He is.
00:22:55.90\00:22:59.57
Let's have a look at our Torch
Light Bethany and you're going
00:22:59.61\00:23:03.38
to read that for us and let's
see what Mrs. White's writings
00:23:03.41\00:23:07.12
shine on that verse
that Matthew just read.
00:23:07.15\00:23:11.15
The influence of this miracle
00:23:11.19\00:23:13.79
both upon the Hebrews and upon
00:23:13.82\00:23:16.36
their enemies was of great
importance. It was an assurance
00:23:16.39\00:23:20.23
to Israel of God's continued
presence and protection-an
00:23:20.26\00:23:24.03
evidence that He would work for
them through Joshua as he had
00:23:24.07\00:23:27.60
wrought through Moses.
00:23:27.64\00:23:29.40
Mmm. Thanks Bethany. So God
performed the miracle to assure
00:23:29.44\00:23:33.74
them that He would be them and
Joshua was the newly appointed
00:23:33.78\00:23:37.71
leader. Now something happened
when they entered the promised
00:23:37.75\00:23:41.65
land. Kate I need to read
for me please Joshua 5:12.
00:23:41.68\00:23:45.45
Then the manna ceased on the day
after they had eaten the produce
00:23:45.49\00:23:50.99
of the land and the children of
Israel no longer had manna but
00:23:51.03\00:23:56.46
they ate the food of the
land of Canaan that year.
00:23:56.50\00:23:59.47
Wow. So after 40 years of God
providing them manna, they no
00:23:59.50\00:24:03.77
longer needed it because they
were in the promised land where
00:24:03.81\00:24:07.81
there was lots of food. So the
children of Israel were now on
00:24:07.84\00:24:11.81
the other side of the Jordan
River at a place called Gilgal.
00:24:11.85\00:24:16.12
Not far from their encampment
was the city of Jericho. Now
00:24:16.18\00:24:19.95
Joshua knew this was the first
city that they would have to
00:24:20.02\00:24:24.29
gain possession of to gain
Canaan. So Joshua went off by
00:24:24.33\00:24:28.53
himself to pray. This experience
must have been a great
00:24:28.56\00:24:32.13
assurance to
00:24:32.17\00:24:33.50
Joshua. God is so good. He does
everything He can to assure us
00:24:33.54\00:24:37.11
that He is with us. Thank you

learnt in our Bible study today?
00:25:38.37\00:25:41.20
Yes boys and girls are you ready
to do that? Let's read this.
00:25:41.24\00:25:44.17
Joshua 1:9 Have I
not commanded you?
00:25:44.21\00:25:49.34
Be strong and of good courage.
Do not be afraid, nor be
00:25:49.38\00:25:54.95
dismayed, for the Lord your
God is with you wherever you go.
00:25:54.98\00:26:00.12
Well Auntie Nat. We've come to
the end of another worship time
00:26:00.16\00:26:05.26
already.
00:26:05.29\00:26:06.63
I know it. I'm sorry it's
all over. It's gone by so fast.
00:26:06.66\00:26:09.13
Yes. Jireh what did you
learn about the King today?
00:26:09.16\00:26:13.60
That we can
believe in God's promises.
00:26:13.64\00:26:16.64
Yes, we certainly can. Are you
ready to sing our blessing song
00:26:16.67\00:26:20.44
to the children at home now?
Okay let's do it. Let's turn
00:26:20.48\00:26:24.15
around and sing to them.
00:26:24.18\00:26:26.75
¤May God bless you and keep you,
and fill your heart with love¤
00:26:26.78\00:26:42.26
¤May God guide and protect
you and watch you from above¤
00:26:42.33\00:26:53.01
¤As Sabbath after Sabbath
