Hello there. Happy Sabbath.
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.63
Come on in. We're
about to meet with the King.
00:00:03.67\00:00:05.77

00:00:05.80\00:00:54.38
Hello everyone. Hello Auntie Nat
00:00:54.45\00:00:56.95
Hello Auntie Cecily are you
00:00:56.99\00:00:58.32
excited about our
worship time today?
00:00:58.35\00:01:00.12
Oh yes I am. And I know the
girls and boys here are excited
00:01:00.16\00:01:03.32
about all the children who are
watching at home. Aren't you?
00:01:03.36\00:01:05.43
Yes. Now Auntie Nat, I know
you want to say a big hello to
00:01:05.49\00:01:07.53
someone who watches
our program each week.
00:01:10.73\00:01:13.00
Yes I do. I want to say a
big hello to Kevin from Galway.
00:01:13.03\00:01:16.64
Hi Kevin.
00:01:16.67\00:01:19.01
Auntie Nat, where's Galway?
00:01:19.04\00:01:20.98
Ah Galway is in Ireland. Isn't
it wonderful. We have kids from
00:01:21.04\00:01:24.95
all around the world joining
us. If you're joining in on our
00:01:25.01\00:01:27.82
worship time drop us a line to
00:01:27.85\00:01:30.35
to tell us where you are from.
Our address is on the screen
00:01:30.39\00:01:33.39
as to how to contact us.
Quick, write it down now.
00:01:33.42\00:01:36.22
Yes we'd love to hear from you.
We can't forget to say hello
00:01:36.26\00:01:40.76
to Teddy too. Hello Teddy. It's
always nice to have you on the
00:01:40.80\00:01:44.13
lounge with us. Now Bethany
would you like to say a prayer
00:01:44.17\00:01:47.34
for us to ask the Lord to
be with us in our worship time?
00:01:47.37\00:01:51.37
Yes. Dear Father. Thank you
for bringing us safely through
00:01:51.41\00:01:55.68
another week. Thank you for the
Sabbath. In Jesus' name. Amen.
00:01:55.71\00:01:59.95
Thanks Bethany. How
was your week Auntie Nat?
00:01:59.98\00:02:02.98
I had a great week Auntie Cecily
I'm so grateful for God's care
00:02:03.05\00:02:06.25
over my family.
How was your week?
00:02:06.29\00:02:08.19
I had a really good week
but I always enjoy coming to the
00:02:08.22\00:02:11.96
Sabbath. That's just my favorite
day of the week. Now we've got
00:02:11.99\00:02:16.36
our blessing box here. Let's
have a look and see how we can
00:02:16.40\00:02:20.37
bless somebody else this week.
Anna, would you like to open it
00:02:20.40\00:02:24.34
and read a blessing to us?
00:02:24.37\00:02:26.31
Yes. Visit someone in their
home who needs encouragement.
00:02:26.34\00:02:31.51
That's a very thoughtful thing
to do. Thank you Anna. Do you
00:02:31.55\00:02:36.25
sometimes visit someone who
needs encouragement? Anna when
00:02:36.28\00:02:40.96
you're feeling
down what cheers you up?
00:02:40.99\00:02:43.83
When friends
encourage me with kind words.
00:02:43.86\00:02:46.66
Oh yes, that's a very nice thing
to do isn't it? And how much
00:02:46.70\00:02:50.03
better if we could do that for
someone else. We know that that
00:02:50.07\00:02:53.90
would make them feel better too.
Yes, encouraging one another
00:02:53.94\00:02:57.74
with kind words is
a wonderful blessing.
00:02:57.77\00:03:01.94
I think you have a blessing for
us, too, Aunt Cecily to share
00:03:02.01\00:03:04.21
with us.
00:03:04.25\00:03:05.58
I do. Remember last Sabbath
we spoke about God preparing a
00:03:05.61\00:03:09.08
place for us in heaven.
Now today I want to talk to you
00:03:09.12\00:03:13.42
about how we can prepare for the
heavenly promised land. Later in
00:03:13.46\00:03:18.69
our Bible study we're going
to learn about how God fought a
00:03:18.73\00:03:24.07
battle for Joshua by bringing
down the walls of Jericho. One
00:03:24.13\00:03:28.57
of the main ways we can prepare
for heaven is to give our hearts
00:03:28.60\00:03:34.11
to Jesus and to surrender our
wills to Him. When we do this,
00:03:34.14\00:03:38.55
God fights our battles for us.
As we journey and grow with Him
00:03:38.58\00:03:43.15
we don't need to fear. Just as
God sent his angels to pull down
00:03:43.18\00:03:47.99
those walls for Joshua, God will
send His angels to protect and
00:03:48.02\00:03:52.76
guide you in your Christian
life. I want to leave you with
00:03:52.79\00:03:56.26
another beautiful
promise from the Bible, found in
00:03:56.30\00:03:59.30
2 Chronicles 20:15. It says
Do not be afraid nor dismayed
00:03:59.33\00:04:05.94
because of this great multitude
for the battle is not yours but
00:04:05.97\00:04:10.65
God's. So we encourage you to
give your heart to Jesus and to
00:04:10.68\00:04:15.28
believe in God's promises.
00:04:15.32\00:04:16.79
Amen. Thank you Auntie Cecily
for sharing that with us. Jesus
00:04:16.82\00:04:21.32
really wants us to give our
hearts to Him. Oh Pastor Rick.
00:04:21.36\00:04:25.83
Thank you so much for coming in
and sharing your talent with us
00:04:25.86\00:04:29.66
and blessing us with your music.
00:04:29.70\00:04:31.87
Thanks Auntie Nat. Children can
00:04:31.90\00:04:33.74
we sing When We
All Get to Heaven?
00:04:33.77\00:04:35.57
Yes. Aw great.
00:04:35.60\00:04:37.71
Pastor Rick can we
please sing Trust and Obey?
00:05:12.61\00:05:17.18
We certainly can.
00:05:17.21\00:05:20.58
Pastor Rick can we
please sing Rahab Believed?
00:06:01.72\00:06:07.36
Yes, that's a lovely song.
00:06:07.40\00:06:08.73
Thanks Pastor Rick. Singing
praise to God in song is just
00:06:53.14\00:06:58.18
such an enjoyable part of
our worship. Now it's story time
00:06:58.21\00:07:02.78
again with Dr. John. I wonder
what he has for us this time?
00:07:02.82\00:07:07.36
Hello boys and girls. I'm Dr.
John and welcome back to story
00:07:07.39\00:07:12.29
time and welcome to all the boys
and girls watching everywhere.
00:07:12.33\00:07:17.17
You know long ago our
missionaries had to travel
00:07:17.20\00:07:21.67
by boat. Today we can just get
on an airplane and go to Fiji
00:07:21.70\00:07:25.77
in four hours, New Guinea is
three hours, Samoa in four and a
00:07:25.81\00:07:30.15
half hours. It's so easy.
But they used to go by boat and
00:07:30.18\00:07:34.45
we never had a boat. One hundred
years ago they decided that they
00:07:34.48\00:07:39.85
would build a special boat to go
to the mission fields. And they
00:07:39.89\00:07:46.76
asked somebody to make a model
and this here is the original
00:07:46.80\00:07:52.80
architect's model of the
Melanesia. Melanesia means black
00:07:52.83\00:07:58.17
people or black places and this
boat was to sail. This is one
00:07:58.21\00:08:04.61
hundred years old. My mother
found it in the ceiling of a
00:08:04.65\00:08:10.99
house that was being demolished.
And she got up and had a look
00:08:11.02\00:08:15.12
around and she saw the
mast lying in the corner and she
00:08:15.16\00:08:18.99
thought what's that. And it was
the Melanesia. This boat is 100
00:08:19.03\00:08:23.20
years old. You know it used to
have a hole in the roof and boys
00:08:23.23\00:08:26.77
and girls used to put pennies
in. This boat used to go round
00:08:26.80\00:08:31.27
all the churches. It doesn't
look very good because when I
00:08:31.31\00:08:35.31
got it, it was broken in two and
I had to glue it back together
00:08:35.34\00:08:39.28
and a very clever man called Mr.
Ray Full, he's done all these
00:08:39.31\00:08:43.52
twiddly bits, steering wheel,
toilet, this is a cooking stove,
00:08:43.59\00:08:48.02
and this was the cabin and this
was the winch and everything
00:08:48.06\00:08:53.50
works. It had a motor underneath
and this boat sailed everywhere
00:08:53.53\00:08:59.10
right around the Pacific. It had
a wonderful story. It has been
00:08:59.13\00:09:05.44
sunk three time. The first time
it was sunk when somebody went
00:09:05.47\00:09:11.41
to the toilet, and here's the
toilet here, and underneath was
00:09:11.45\00:09:17.52
a plug. And he was playing
around and undid the plug and in
00:09:17.59\00:09:23.16
the morning when they got up and
looked at the boat at the dock
00:09:23.19\00:09:28.10
all they could see was the top
of the masts. That person who
00:09:28.13\00:09:33.87
went to the toilet wasn't
very popular. It sailed to the
00:09:33.90\00:09:39.04
Solomon Islands, it sailed to
New Guinea, it sailed to Fiji,
00:09:39.07\00:09:44.31
it sailed to Samoa. It sailed
all over the Pacific. They
00:09:44.38\00:09:49.55
wanted a boat that didn't have
too much underneath so it would
00:09:49.58\00:09:53.79
catch on reefs and it had to be
this long and it had to be that
00:09:53.82\00:09:58.49
wide but it was known to be a
bit of a roller. The second time
00:09:58.53\00:10:02.73
it sunk was during the war
when the Japanese took it and we
00:10:02.76\00:10:07.44
don't know the story but
they fired a cannon at it and it
00:10:07.47\00:10:12.17
made a hole and it sank. Many
years ago my grandfather went
00:10:12.21\00:10:16.01
to the Solomon Islands and this
is where he got this walking
00:10:16.04\00:10:19.78
stick because they are such good
carvers. When he was rowing back
00:10:19.81\00:10:24.19
to the boat it was way out in
a lagoon. There was a long, long
00:10:24.22\00:10:28.79
rope attached to the front
of the boat and as he was rowing
00:10:28.82\00:10:33.06
as he was rowing Pastor Turner
was standing up in the front of
00:10:33.09\00:10:37.27
the boat and he had his arms
crossed as though he was the
00:10:37.30\00:10:40.64
captain of the sea and my
grandfather was rowing the boat.
00:10:40.67\00:10:43.91
And he could see the long rope
going to the coconut tree and he
00:10:43.94\00:10:48.84
knew it would catch Pastor
Turner about there. At the last
00:10:48.88\00:10:53.65
minute my Grandpa ducked
his head and Pastor Turner said
00:10:53.72\00:10:58.42
What's that. What are you doing?
And my grandfather just said
00:10:58.45\00:11:03.53
one word. Shark. And he said
that Pastor Turner got back to
00:11:03.56\00:11:08.56
the boat before the rowing boat
did. He was so frightened of the
00:11:08.60\00:11:13.17
shark. You know this boat
sailed so many times, it was so
00:11:13.23\00:11:17.77
faithful. We're going to
hear about the man who was the
00:11:17.81\00:11:21.64
captain and finally it got sunk
the third time. It was sold and
00:11:21.68\00:11:27.42
it went to a company in Fiji and
he was trying to sail it from
00:11:27.45\00:11:31.89
Fiji, Suva to Condaver Island is
it got into a big storm. Anchors
00:11:31.92\00:11:36.32
wouldn't hold and it started
to drift backwards and it went
00:11:36.39\00:11:40.73
onto the rocks and it was sunk
for the third and the last time.
00:11:40.76\00:11:46.20
So many people learned to love
the Lord Jesus because when they
00:11:46.23\00:11:51.94
saw the Melanesia coming along
into a lagoon, they said God's
00:11:51.97\00:11:56.54
people are here with us. We want
to hear about Jesus and they
00:11:56.58\00:12:01.12
loved this boat. And that
is the story of the Melanesia.
00:12:01.15\00:12:05.79
Thank you boys and
girls. Thank you boys and girls.
00:12:05.82\00:12:08.62
Hi boys and girls. Welcome
to our Bible study. Have you got
00:12:08.66\00:12:12.83
your Bibles ready? I hope
you have. Come and join us as we
00:12:12.86\00:12:16.53
read along together. Cecily,
could you please say a prayer
00:12:16.56\00:12:20.20
for us to open up our study.
00:12:20.24\00:12:22.54
Yes, let's bow our heads. Dear
Father in heaven, thank you for
00:12:22.60\00:12:26.61
our Bibles. Please help us to
understand what we read today.
00:12:26.64\00:12:30.38
We pray for a special blessing
on the children and families
00:12:30.41\00:12:34.42
who are watching with us.
We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
00:12:34.45\00:12:39.15
Amen. Thanks Aunt Cecily.
Now last Sabbath we spoke about
00:12:39.19\00:12:43.36
Joshua and the children of
Israel and how they went into
00:12:43.43\00:12:47.53
the promised land. Bethany what
did God do so they could go into
00:12:47.56\00:12:51.27
the promised land? What did
He do with the River Jordan?
00:12:51.30\00:12:53.40
He opened the Jordan River.
00:12:53.44\00:12:55.64
He did, didn't He, so that they
could just walk straight through
00:12:55.70\00:12:59.34
on the dry river bed didn't He.
Yeah. All right. Now Anna you're
00:12:59.37\00:13:03.01
going to read our first reading
today. Let's begin our story in
00:13:03.04\00:13:06.65
Joshua 6:1 as to
what happens now.
00:13:06.68\00:13:09.88
Now Jericho was securely shut
up because of the children of
00:13:09.92\00:13:14.22
Israel. None went
out and none came in.
00:13:14.26\00:13:17.03
Thanks Anna. Now Auntie Nat's
got a little bit of background
00:13:17.06\00:13:20.70
here about the city of Jericho.
It was in lockdown. You know
00:13:20.73\00:13:24.20
they saw those children of
Israel cross the River Jordan
00:13:24.23\00:13:28.20
and they were terrified. You
know, the city of Jericho, it
00:13:28.24\00:13:32.11
was a very wealthy city. It was
very large. It's walls were very
00:13:32.14\00:13:36.95
high and very thick. And the
people of Jericho worshipped an
00:13:36.98\00:13:41.65
idol called Astaroth who was the
goddess of moon. And this was
00:13:41.68\00:13:46.22
the worst of idol worship in the
land of Canaan. They did awful
00:13:46.25\00:13:51.26
things. The people of Jericho
knew what God had done for the
00:13:51.29\00:13:55.56
Israelites and a lot of the
countries round about knew and
00:13:55.60\00:13:59.63
there was only one person who
decided to follow the true God
00:13:59.67\00:14:03.67
and who was that? We talked
about her last week. Rahab.
00:14:03.71\00:14:07.48
Rahab. Isn't that amazing. Of
all the inhabitants of Jericho,
00:14:07.51\00:14:11.85
Rahab was the only one that
reached out and believed in the
00:14:11.88\00:14:15.68
Israelites God. Okay. But
you know what? The rest of the
00:14:15.72\00:14:19.15
people in Jericho chose not
to do that even though they knew
00:14:19.19\00:14:22.82
the great things that God had
done. So, Matthew, we're going
00:14:22.86\00:14:26.59
continue reading and find out
what happened. Can you please
00:14:26.66\00:14:30.37
read Joshua 6:8-9.
00:14:30.40\00:14:34.30
So it was, when Joshua had
spoken to the people that the
00:14:34.34\00:14:39.14
seven priests bearing the seven
trumpets of rams' horns before
00:14:39.17\00:14:42.44
the Lord advanced and blew
the trumpets and the ark of the
00:14:42.48\00:14:45.71
covenant of the Lord followed
them. The armed men went before
00:14:45.75\00:14:49.22
the priests who blew the
trumpets and the rear guard came
00:14:49.25\00:14:52.65
after the ark, while the priests
continued blowing the trumpets.
00:14:52.69\00:14:56.12
Mmm. So how many priests were
glowing the rams' horns. Seven.
00:14:56.16\00:14:59.66
Seven. And we have a ram's horn
right here and we're going to
00:14:59.69\00:15:02.90
talk a little bit about that
later on. There were also some
00:15:02.93\00:15:07.10
armed men of the Israelite army
ready for war. And there was a
00:15:07.14\00:15:11.24
piece of furniture that
went with them. What was that?
00:15:11.27\00:15:13.81
The ark of the covenant.
00:15:13.84\00:15:15.28
The ark of the covenant. Now
Kate we have got an Ark of the
00:15:15.34\00:15:18.61
Covenant there which we've
showed on previous studies.
00:15:18.65\00:15:21.88
Would you like to lift that blue
cloth to show the children at
00:15:21.92\00:15:25.69
home? Wow. Isn't that beautiful?
Okay, Kate, you can put the
00:15:25.72\00:15:29.66
cloth back on now. Wherever that
ark went in the travels, the
00:15:29.69\00:15:34.20
blue cloth was always over
the ark. Bethany, can you please
00:15:34.23\00:15:38.67
read Joshua 6:10-11.
00:15:38.70\00:15:41.60
Yeah. Now Joshua had commanded
the people saying, You shall not
00:15:41.67\00:15:45.74
shout or make any noise
with your voice nor shall a word
00:15:45.77\00:15:49.88
proceed out of your mouth until
the day I say to you shout. Then
00:15:49.91\00:15:54.92
you shall shout. So he had the
ark of the Lord circle the city
00:15:54.98\00:15:59.15
going around it once. Then they
came into the camp and lodged
00:15:59.19\00:16:03.36
in the camp.
00:16:03.39\00:16:04.73
Thank you Bethany. So they
were not to make a sound when
00:16:04.76\00:16:08.86
marching around that city.
The only noise was the trumpets
00:16:08.90\00:16:13.10
blowing and the marching of
feet. How many times did they
00:16:13.13\00:16:17.24
have to walk around the city of
Jericho just on that first day?
00:16:17.27\00:16:20.74
Yes Matthew. Once. Okay Kate
can we continue reading from
00:16:20.78\00:16:26.01
Joshua 6:14.
00:16:26.05\00:16:27.38
And the second day they
marched around the city once and
00:16:27.42\00:16:30.72
returned to the
camp. So they did six days.
00:16:30.75\00:16:34.26
So for six days they marched
around the City of Jericho once
00:16:34.29\00:16:37.99
each day. Do you think it must
have looked a pretty strange
00:16:38.03\00:16:41.66
sight? (Murmur). I think it did.
And do you know what? The people
00:16:41.70\00:16:46.20
in Jericho who were looking
down from the walls of their
00:16:46.23\00:16:48.50
fortified city, I don't think
they could make head or tail of
00:16:48.54\00:16:51.61
what was going on. It was
probably a bit of a mystery to
00:16:51.64\00:16:54.61
them and I would say they were
getting more terrified by each
00:16:54.64\00:16:58.15
day. Okay, Caleb, let's see what
happens on the seventh day. Can
00:16:58.18\00:17:01.65
you please read
Joshua 6:15-16 and 20.
00:17:01.68\00:17:05.85
But it came to pass on the
seventh day that they rose early
00:17:05.89\00:17:10.49
about the dawning of the day and
marched around the city seven
00:17:10.53\00:17:15.13
times in the same manner.
On that day only they marched
00:17:15.16\00:17:18.67
around the city seven times.
And the seventh time it happened
00:17:18.73\00:17:23.71
when the priests blew the
trumpets, that Joshua said to
00:17:23.74\00:17:27.48
the people, Shout for the Lord
has given you the city. So the
00:17:27.51\00:17:32.51
people shouted when the
priests blew the trumpets and it
00:17:32.55\00:17:36.75
happened when the people heard
the sound of the trumpet and the
00:17:36.79\00:17:41.69
people shouted with a great
shout that the wall fell down
00:17:41.72\00:17:45.29
flat. Then the people went
up into the city, every man
00:17:45.36\00:17:48.93
straight before him
and they took the city.
00:17:48.96\00:17:51.90
Mmm. So how many times did they
walk around the city of Jericho
00:17:51.93\00:17:56.10
or march around the city of
Jericho on that seventh day?
00:17:56.14\00:18:00.31
Seven times and at the end
of the seventh circuit they were
00:18:00.38\00:18:05.75
to speak and use their voices
and shout and those rams' horns
00:18:05.78\00:18:11.19
blowing and those wall came
down!. Wow. Do you think with
00:18:11.25\00:18:16.59
those rams' horns, there were
seven of them all blowing at the
00:18:16.62\00:18:19.63
same time and all shouting, do
you think that would have made
00:18:19.66\00:18:23.03
a lot of noise? Yeah. We've got
some special footage of that.
00:18:23.06\00:18:26.43
James, can you
show us that please.
00:18:26.47\00:18:29.20
Wow. So as you mentioned that
was just Mr. John blowing that.
00:18:42.78\00:18:46.22
Just one person. Could you
imagine seven at the same time?
00:18:46.25\00:18:49.99
That would have been a lot of
noise wouldn't it? Do you know
00:18:50.03\00:18:53.63
what? All the children of
Israel had to do was obey the
00:18:53.66\00:18:57.23
instructions of God and God and
the angels pull... God sent his
00:18:57.27\00:19:01.44
angels, His mighty angels to
pull those walls down. That's
00:19:01.50\00:19:06.31
amazing isn't it? God can do
such wonderful things. Now J J
00:19:06.34\00:19:11.28
I'd like you to read Joshua
6:23 please and let's see what
00:19:11.31\00:19:15.22
happened to Rahab.
00:19:15.25\00:19:16.58
And the young men who had been
spies went in and brought out
00:19:16.62\00:19:20.79
Rahab, her father, her mother,
her brothers and all that she
00:19:20.82\00:19:26.13
had. So they brought out all her
relatives and left them outside
00:19:26.16\00:19:31.43
the camp of Israel.
00:19:31.47\00:19:32.80
So did Joshua keep the promise
that spies made to Rahab? Yes.
00:19:32.83\00:19:37.61
Yes he did. They honored Rahab's
faith that she had in their God
00:19:37.64\00:19:42.88
and rewarded her for keeping the
two spies safe. Now Aunt Cecily
00:19:42.91\00:19:47.65
you're going to go to Hebrews
11 and read 30-31 and there are
00:19:47.68\00:19:52.39
two faith statements there.
Could you please read that
00:19:52.42\00:19:55.56
for us.
00:19:55.59\00:19:56.93
The first one is: By faith the
walls of Jericho fell down after
00:19:56.96\00:20:01.36
they were encircled for seven
days. And then, By faith the
00:20:01.40\00:20:06.74
harlot Rehab did not perish with
those who did not believe when
00:20:06.77\00:20:12.04
she had received
the spies with peace.
00:20:12.07\00:20:15.38
So faith played a big part,
didn't it, in the lives of the
00:20:15.41\00:20:18.45
people we've just read
about. There were some more
00:20:18.48\00:20:21.05
instructions that the Israelites
had to obey when taking the city
00:20:21.08\00:20:24.92
of Jericho. Anna, can you
please read Joshua 6:18-19.
00:20:24.95\00:20:31.33
And you, by all means, abstain
from the accursed things, lest
00:20:31.36\00:20:37.13
you become accursed when
you take the accursed things and
00:20:37.17\00:20:41.87
make the camp of Israel accursed
and trouble it. But all the
00:20:41.90\00:20:46.51
silver and gold and vessels of
bronze and iron are consecrated
00:20:46.54\00:20:50.68
to the Lord. They shall come
into the treasury of the Lord.
00:20:50.71\00:20:55.02
So the Israelites, they were not
to take any treasures from the
00:20:55.05\00:20:59.25
city of Jericho for themselves.
All the treasures were for God's
00:20:59.29\00:21:03.22
storehouse. If they did take
anything for themselves it would
00:21:03.26\00:21:07.00
put a curse on the whole camp.
Let's look at our Torch Light,
00:21:07.03\00:21:10.67
Mrs. White's writings, and see
what they shine on the verse.
00:21:10.70\00:21:14.27
Matthew, you're going
to read that for us today.
00:21:14.30\00:21:16.40
Can you do that? Thank you.
00:21:16.47\00:21:22.58
The Israelites had not gained
the victory by their own power;
00:21:22.61\00:21:27.92
the conquest had been wholly the
Lord's;... That which could not
00:21:27.95\00:21:32.89
destroyed by fire, the silver
and gold, and the vessels of
00:21:32.92\00:21:36.22
brass and of iron, was to
be devoted to the service of
00:21:36.26\00:21:39.53
the tabernacle.
00:21:39.56\00:21:40.90
Thank you Matthew. So because
God had fought the battle for
00:21:40.93\00:21:45.10
them, all the treasures belonged
to God alone and were to be used
00:21:45.13\00:21:51.47
for the sanctuary service. But
something happened. Joshua, in
00:21:51.51\00:21:57.81
his excitement over the
successful battle of Jericho
00:21:57.88\00:22:02.42
forgot to consult God when
making plans to overtake the
00:22:02.45\00:22:06.92
town of Ai. The Canaanites of Ai
defeated them and 36 people died
00:22:06.96\00:22:12.73
Let's read what Joshua does.
Bethany can you please read
00:22:12.79\00:22:18.37
Then Joshua tore his clothes and
fell to the earth on his face
00:22:18.40\00:22:22.90
before the ark of the Lord until
evening. He and the elders of
00:22:22.94\00:22:27.44
Israel and they put
dust on their heads.
00:22:27.48\00:22:29.44
So Joshua in his distress
and grief lay on his face before
00:22:29.48\00:22:34.68
the ark of the covenant all day.
Let's see what happens. Kate,
00:22:34.72\00:22:39.92
can you read
Joshua 7:10-12 please.
00:22:39.95\00:22:43.16
So the Lord said to Joshua, Get
up! Why do you lie thus on your
00:22:43.19\00:22:48.26
face? Israel has sinned and
they have also transgressed my
00:22:48.30\00:22:53.30
covenant which I commanded them.
For they have even taken some of
00:22:53.34\00:22:57.14
the accursed things and they
have both stolen and deceived
00:22:57.21\00:23:01.34
and they have put it among
their own stuff. Therefore the
00:23:01.38\00:23:05.28
children of Israel could not
stand before their enemies but
00:23:05.31\00:23:08.68
turned their backs before
their enemies because they have
00:23:08.72\00:23:12.65
become doomed to destruction.
Neither will I be with you
00:23:12.69\00:23:16.52
anymore unless you destroy
the accursed from among you.
00:23:16.56\00:23:20.66
Oh dear. So God is informing
Joshua that there is a sin in
00:23:20.70\00:23:24.50
the camp and that someone has
brought treasures from the city
00:23:24.53\00:23:28.50
of Jericho to use for their own
personal use. Now what did God
00:23:28.54\00:23:32.44
say? He said not to
steal anything from the city of
00:23:32.47\00:23:34.71
Jericho, didn't he? He wanted
it all in His sanctuary. God
00:23:34.74\00:23:38.65
warns Joshua that he will not
be with them until the man is
00:23:38.68\00:23:43.02
found who stole God's first
fruits. You know what Joshua
00:23:43.08\00:23:47.36
eventually found out that the
man's name was Achan. Let's see
00:23:47.39\00:23:52.33
Achan tells Joshua. Caleb,
can you please read Joshua 7:21.
00:23:52.36\00:23:56.93
When I saw among the spoils a
beautiful Babylonian garments,
00:23:56.97\00:24:01.90
two hundred shekels of silver
and a wedge of gold weighing
00:24:01.94\00:24:06.44
fifty shekels. I coveted them
and took them and there they are
00:24:06.47\00:24:11.05
hidden in the earth in the midst
of my tent with the silver under
00:24:11.08\00:24:15.62
it. So Achan was the only one of
00:24:15.65\00:24:18.32
over a million people who
had disobeyed. He had coveted
00:24:18.35\00:24:22.52
meaning he wanted and stole
what was not his. He didn't just
00:24:22.56\00:24:27.36
steal from anyone. He actually
stole from God. He put the whole
00:24:27.40\00:24:32.23
encampment in danger and Achan
actually died for his sin. Let's
00:24:32.27\00:24:36.60
read our memory verse. We're
going to go to Luke 12:15. And
00:24:36.67\00:24:42.11
for the children at home,
Luke is in the New Testament.
00:24:42.14\00:24:47.52
Luke 12:15-Take heed and beware
of covetousness for one's life
00:24:47.55\00:24:56.69
does not consist in the
abundance of things he possesses
00:24:56.73\00:25:02.13
So God does not want us to covet
He wants us to be content with
00:25:02.16\00:25:06.80
what we already have. Thank you
boys and girls for reading along
00:25:06.84\00:25:11.41

Thanks Nick and Sarah. Boys and
girls we'd love to hear from you
00:25:45.97\00:25:50.11
Auntie Nat can you tell us what
we're going to study about next
00:25:50.15\00:25:54.65
Yes. Next Sabbath we're going
to study about something that
00:25:54.68\00:25:58.15
stands still. I wonder if
you can work that out. We look
00:25:58.19\00:26:01.42
forward to studying that with
you next week. Auntie Cecily,
00:26:01.46\00:26:04.06
shall we go over our memory
verse that we learned in our
00:26:04.09\00:26:06.66
Bible study today.
00:26:06.70\00:26:08.03
Yes. Boys and girls are you
ready to do that. Let's read
00:26:08.06\00:26:10.73
Luke 12:15-Take heed and beware
of covetousness for one's life
00:26:10.77\00:26:19.84
does not consist in the
abundance of the things he
00:26:19.87\00:26:24.35
possesses.
00:26:24.38\00:26:25.71
Guess what Auntie Nat? We've
nearly finished out worship time
00:26:25.75\00:26:30.15
again already.
00:26:30.19\00:26:31.55
Ahhh. Our time
will go so quickly.
00:26:31.59\00:26:34.02
Kate, what did you learn
about the King this week?
00:26:34.06\00:26:38.26
That Jesus wants us to give
Him our hearts so we can prepare
00:26:38.29\00:26:42.50
for heaven.
00:26:42.53\00:26:43.87
Ah, yes He does. He
doesn't want anyone to miss out.
00:26:43.90\00:26:47.84
Boys and girls are you ready
to sing our blessing song to the
00:26:47.90\00:26:50.61
children at home?
Yes. Okay, let's do that.
00:26:50.64\00:26:53.41
Let's turn around.
00:26:53.44\00:26:55.14
¤May God bless you and keep you
and fill your heart with love¤
00:26:55.18\00:27:10.63
¤May God guide and protect
you and watch you from above¤
00:27:10.66\00:27:21.30
¤As Sabbath after Sabbath
we greet the day of rest¤
00:27:21.34\00:27:31.38
¤The day the King of glory
has sanctified and blessed¤
00:27:31.41\00:27:41.46
¤Good bye my
friends till we meet again¤
00:27:41.49\00:27:46.63
¤For another day with the King¤
00:27:46.66\00:27:53.10
Good bye, good bye.
See you next Sabbath.
00:27:53.13\00:27:55.57
