Hello there. Happy Sabbath.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.73
Come on in. We're
about to meet with the King.
00:00:02.76\00:00:05.13
¤ ¤
00:00:05.17\00:00:51.11
Hello everyone. It's
great to see you back with us to
00:00:51.15\00:00:53.42
worship the King. How
are you Auntie Cecily?
00:00:53.45\00:00:55.62
I'm very well thank you Auntie
00:00:55.65\00:00:57.55
Nat and I'm so glad to be here
00:00:57.59\00:00:59.45
being able to
worship the King again.
00:00:59.49\00:01:01.29
Yes the week has zoomed by
and I can't believe the kids are
00:01:01.32\00:01:05.93
back with us already. How are
you all today. Good. Oh that's
00:01:05.96\00:01:09.40
great. Now Auntie Cecily, I know
you want to say a big hello to
00:01:09.43\00:01:12.87
someone who's been
watching the program.
00:01:12.90\00:01:14.47
Yes. I want to say hello to
Eloise from Queensland. Hello
00:01:14.50\00:01:18.31
Eloise. Hello. Hey Auntie Cecily
you're from Queensland aren't
00:01:18.37\00:01:23.65
you. Yes. And it's just a lovely
00:01:23.68\00:01:26.11
place to live. I love the
beaches and the weather and
00:01:26.15\00:01:30.12
delicious tropical fruit.
00:01:30.15\00:01:31.59
Oh yum, my favorite. That
sounds wonderful doesn't it.
00:01:31.65\00:01:35.19
Now who else do we have to say
hello to. Oh Teddy, you are so
00:01:35.22\00:01:39.66
quiet sitting there. Welcome
Teddy to our worship time.
00:01:39.69\00:01:44.70
Aunt Cecily, can you
please say a prayer for us.
00:01:44.73\00:01:46.67
Yes. Dear Father in heaven, we
thank you so much for keeping us
00:01:46.70\00:01:50.54
safe through another week and we
pray that you would be with us
00:01:50.57\00:01:54.38
as we worship you
now. In Jesus' name. Amen.
00:01:54.41\00:01:58.58
Amen. Thanks Auntie Cecily. Do
you know, we have a blessing box
00:01:58.61\00:02:01.88
that tells us about some
blessings that we can share with
00:02:01.92\00:02:05.89
others on the Sabbath. Mia
would you like to open the box
00:02:05.95\00:02:09.89
and have a look inside?
00:02:09.92\00:02:13.29
Visit a sick person who is
in hospital or a nursing home.
00:02:13.33\00:02:16.56
Wow. That would be a nice thing
to do wouldn't it? It would be a
00:02:16.60\00:02:20.60
real bright spot to their day.
Do you sometimes visit someone
00:02:20.64\00:02:24.41
who is sick and needs cheering
up. Can you think of something
00:02:24.47\00:02:28.21
you can take when you
visit someone sick? Mia.
00:02:28.24\00:02:30.38
A bunch of flowers.
00:02:30.41\00:02:31.75
Ah, that would be beautiful,
wouldn't it. It would show them
00:02:31.78\00:02:34.35
how much you care. It's a good
idea, too, to check with the
00:02:34.38\00:02:37.79
nurses that it's okay to visit
them, but most of the time it's
00:02:37.82\00:02:41.19
okay. Boys and girls, have you
visited someone who is not well
00:02:41.22\00:02:44.66
in their home or hospital or
a nursing home to show how much
00:02:44.69\00:02:48.20
Jesus loves them. If you have,
we'd love to hear about it at
00:02:48.23\00:02:51.73
www. adaywiththeking.
com. dwk@eabnaustralia. org. au
00:02:51.77\00:02:54.64
Aunt Cecily. I now you have
a blessing to share with us as
00:02:54.67\00:02:57.97
well. Yes.
Remember last Sabbath we
00:02:58.01\00:03:00.28
spoke about the battle of
Jericho. Just as God fought the
00:03:00.31\00:03:04.95
battle of Jericho for Joshua,
God will fight our battles for
00:03:04.98\00:03:09.78
us as we prepare our hearts
and minds for heaven. Our story
00:03:09.82\00:03:14.59
today is about how a
peace treaty was made without
00:03:14.62\00:03:18.59
consulting God and the trouble
that it brought to Israel. We
00:03:18.66\00:03:22.46
shouldn't make treaties with
this world that will prevent us
00:03:22.50\00:03:26.53
from living for Jesus. In all
our decisions we need to pray
00:03:26.57\00:03:30.97
and ask God's will for us first.
This builds our trust and our
00:03:31.01\00:03:35.54
faith in Him and it helps us to
believe in the promises of the
00:03:35.58\00:03:39.61
Bible. Now I want to leave
you with another lovely promise.
00:03:39.65\00:03:45.69
It's found in Luke 21:34-36 and
Jesus is speaking and He says
00:03:45.72\00:03:50.99
But take heed to yourselves lest
your hearts be weighed down with
00:03:51.03\00:03:56.46
carousing, drunkenness and cares
of this life and that day come
00:03:56.50\00:04:01.57
upon you unexpectedly
for it will come as a snare
00:04:01.60\00:04:05.14
on all those who
00:04:05.17\00:04:06.78
dwell on the face of the whole
earth. Watch, therefore, and
00:04:06.81\00:04:11.38
pray always that you may be
counted worthy to escape all
00:04:11.41\00:04:15.78
these things that will come
to pass and to stand before the
00:04:15.82\00:04:19.89
Son of Man. So remember to
prepare your hearts for Jesus
00:04:19.92\00:04:23.96
and to believe
in God's promises.
00:04:23.99\00:04:26.33
Wow. Thanks Auntie Cecily.
Making sure our hearts are
00:04:26.36\00:04:29.66
connected to Jesus through
prayer is really important.
00:04:29.70\00:04:32.93
I can see that Pastor Rick has
joined us. Thanks so much Pastor
00:04:32.97\00:04:37.91
Rick. I'm glad to
be here, especially
00:04:37.94\00:04:39.87
because it's the Sabbath.
00:04:39.91\00:04:41.24
Children, tell me, is it 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or the 7th day
00:04:41.28\00:04:45.25
that the Lord gave us to
worship. Seventh. He gave us
00:04:45.28\00:04:49.78
every day, but the seventh
is a special day, isn't it? Now
00:04:49.82\00:04:52.52
I've got a song called
The Seventh is the Sabbath of
00:04:52.55\00:04:55.52
the Lord. So let's
try and sing it together.
00:04:55.56\00:05:00.90
Pastor Rick can we sing My
Lord Knows the Way Through the
00:05:36.87\00:05:41.17
Wilderness?
00:05:41.20\00:05:42.54
That's one of my favorite songs
and it's a really lovely song
00:05:42.57\00:05:46.24
because it tells me
that Jesus leads us also.
00:05:46.27\00:05:50.68
Can we sing it again?
00:06:23.24\00:06:24.58
Pastor Rick can we
please sing I Am So Glad?
00:07:00.85\00:07:03.12
I'm so glad you asked
could we sing that song because
00:07:03.18\00:07:06.29
it's lovely to be able
to sing songs about Jesus.
00:07:06.32\00:07:09.42
Thanks Pastor Rick. Singing
praises to God really lifts our
00:08:19.16\00:08:22.93
spirits. And now Dr. John has
another inspiring story for us.
00:08:22.96\00:08:26.70
Let's go and listen.
00:08:26.74\00:08:28.57
Hi boys and girls. I'm Dr. John.
00:08:28.60\00:08:31.04
And welcome back to story time.
00:08:31.07\00:08:33.44
And welcome back to boys and
girls everywhere. I want to tell
00:08:33.48\00:08:38.48
you a story about a little boy
with a big name, strange name.
00:08:38.51\00:08:43.95
His name was Griffith Francis
Jones All the way in Wales, way
00:08:43.99\00:08:49.36
on the other side of the world.
And as he grew up he discovered
00:08:49.39\00:08:54.80
he wasn't really growing up. He
was very, very short. In fact,
00:08:54.86\00:08:59.03
he wasn't any taller than
you boys here. He was only about
00:08:59.07\00:09:04.11
that tall. And he was very smart
and when he was 15, he thought
00:09:04.14\00:09:08.31
what am I
00:09:08.34\00:09:09.68
going to do with myself? I'm
too small to be much good. So he
00:09:09.71\00:09:13.52
went to sea as a cabin boy.
Now a cabin boy has to clean the
00:09:13.55\00:09:17.75
decks, make the beds, cook the
food, wash the floor, clean the
00:09:17.79\00:09:22.16
toilets. And after a while
he thought I can do better than
00:09:22.19\00:09:26.23
that. So he started to study.
He said, I'm going to become a
00:09:26.26\00:09:31.03
captain. He studied so hard that
by the time he was 26, he had
00:09:31.07\00:09:36.04
the title of master mariner.
Very few people ever get that
00:09:36.07\00:09:40.98
title. He could sail anywhere in
the world. He didn't use a GPS.
00:09:41.01\00:09:45.11
He had to use instruments to see
where the sun was and the stars
00:09:45.15\00:09:49.32
so he could navigate. And he had
such a tidy ship. One day he was
00:09:49.35\00:09:53.49
walking along and he saw a
piece of paper on the deck.
00:09:53.52\00:09:57.63
And he thought, That's not good
enough on my ship. He picked it
00:09:57.66\00:10:00.30
up. He was about to throw
it away and he saw that it was
00:10:00.33\00:10:05.47
about the Bible and he read it
and he gave his heart to Jesus.
00:10:05.53\00:10:09.07
From that moment he decided
he was going to be a missionary.
00:10:09.10\00:10:13.68
Well he went back home and
he married a girl who was older
00:10:13.71\00:10:20.05
and taller and stronger.
But they were very happy. They
00:10:20.08\00:10:26.35
lived together for many, many
years. Mr. and Mrs. Jones. And
00:10:26.39\00:10:32.53
he became Pastor Jones and when
he got married he put on his
00:10:32.56\00:10:38.43
wedding certificate missionary
instead of master mariner and
00:10:38.47\00:10:43.91
finally they said, you're
not good at the jobs that you do
00:10:43.94\00:10:48.28
here because he worked in a
health store and he had to give
00:10:48.34\00:10:52.65
somebody a massage and he
looked on the packet of the
00:10:52.68\00:10:56.25
salts and it said rub the salt
into their back. And he gave a
00:10:56.28\00:11:01.12
big man a bath and then he had
to stand on a stool because he
00:11:01.16\00:11:06.46
was so short. How'd you like to
have that rubbed in your back?
00:11:06.49\00:11:13.40
Pretty rough stuff. He started
to rub and he started to glow
00:11:13.44\00:11:18.81
red all right and redder and
redder until the man said, Hey
00:11:18.84\00:11:24.21
stop! So he knocked the
container and there was salt
00:11:24.25\00:11:28.72
all over the ceiling and the
walls and the floor and the boss
00:11:28.75\00:11:33.15
came in and said you're sacked.
And so he became a master
00:11:33.19\00:11:37.96
mariner. He came out to the
Pacific and they gave him his
00:11:37.99\00:11:43.47
own boat. And this is the
Melanesia on the day that it was
00:11:43.50\00:11:48.74
launched. And if you look there
you can't even see him, he's
00:11:48.77\00:11:52.41
such a short man. So they had to
take another photo. And there he
00:11:52.44\00:11:58.28
is, standing there next to
his wife. Pastor G. F. Jones or
00:11:58.31\00:12:04.15
Captain Jones. In fact, they
loved him so much they called
00:12:04.19\00:12:07.32
him Jonesey. You know he went
everywhere. No missionary ever
00:12:07.36\00:12:12.46
sailed more than Pastor Jones.
One day in the Solomon's his
00:12:12.49\00:12:17.27
wife got sick, so sick with
malaria that they said she's
going to die. She was
00:12:17.30\00:12:22.07
unconscious. And while she
was unconscious his heart was
00:12:22.10\00:12:25.87
breaking. He got a tape measure,
she was lying on the bed and he
00:12:25.91\00:12:30.45
started to measure her. What do
you think he was measuring her
00:12:30.48\00:12:35.42
for? Yes? A coffin. Certainly,
it was a coffin. And then he
00:12:35.45\00:12:40.36
marked on the floor where he was
going to take the wood and build
00:12:40.39\00:12:45.09
a coffin and he marked it with
chalk. But you know, Mrs. Jones
00:12:45.13\00:12:49.40
got better and when she sat
up and she looked at that on the
00:12:49.43\00:12:56.47
floor, she thought, that looks
like a coffin. Well she gave him
00:12:56.50\00:13:01.61
a hard time over that and they
laughed and laughed. But you
00:13:01.64\00:13:06.31
know they lived such a long time
and no missionary ever did a
00:13:06.35\00:13:10.89
greater job. He could not get
lost. He knew every reef, every
00:13:10.92\00:13:15.42
small island in the Pacific;
Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands,
00:13:15.46\00:13:19.59
New Guinea, Australia, he
knew the whole lot. A wonderful
00:13:19.63\00:13:23.73
little man who
became a giant for God.
00:13:23.77\00:13:26.94
Thank you boys and girls.
00:13:26.97\00:13:29.70
Hi boys and girls. Welcome to
our Bible study. If you haven't
00:13:29.74\00:13:32.87
got your Bibles ready yet,
go get them now so that you can
00:13:32.91\00:13:35.78
follow along with us. Matthew
can you please say a prayer to
00:13:35.81\00:13:38.68
open our Bible study.
00:13:38.71\00:13:40.92
Dear Lord, thank you for loving
us so much. Please help us to
00:13:40.98\00:13:44.65
understand the verses in
the Bible as we read them in the
00:13:44.69\00:13:48.46
study today. Be with the
children joining us at home.
00:13:48.52\00:13:52.26
In Jesus' name. Amen.
00:13:52.29\00:13:53.63
Amen. Thank you Matthew. So
we're going to continue reading
00:13:53.66\00:13:56.80
the book of Joshua and today
we're going to look at some very
00:13:56.83\00:14:00.94
interesting stories. Anna,
can you start us off please and
00:14:00.97\00:14:05.04
start in Joshua 9:3-6.
00:14:05.07\00:14:07.54
But when the inhabitants of
Gibeon heard what Joshua had
00:14:07.58\00:14:13.92
to Jericho and Ai, they worked
craftily and pretended to be
00:14:13.95\00:14:19.25
ambassadors. And they took old
sacks on their donkeys, old wine
00:14:19.32\00:14:24.46
skins torn and mended, old and
patched sandals on their feet
00:14:24.49\00:14:29.20
and old garments on themselves;
and all the bread of their
00:14:29.23\00:14:33.80
provision was dry and moldy.
And they went to Joshua, to the
00:14:33.84\00:14:39.47
camp at Gilgal and said to
him and to the men of Israel, We
00:14:39.51\00:14:44.61
have come from a far country.
Now, therefore, make a covenant
00:14:44.65\00:14:49.72
with us.
00:14:49.75\00:14:51.09
Mmm. Thanks Anna. So the
Gibeonites were a group of
00:14:51.12\00:14:54.46
people living in the land of
Canaan. They were spread across
00:14:54.49\00:14:58.96
four cities. One of them was a
great royal city called the City
00:14:58.99\00:15:03.40
of Gibeon. So a group of men
dressed themselves up in old,
00:15:03.43\00:15:07.54
tattered clothes, took
provisions that were moldy to
00:15:07.57\00:15:12.54
give the illusion that they'd
come from a faraway place.
00:15:12.57\00:15:16.21
Verse 6 tells us, that Anna
just read, they wanted to make a
00:15:16.24\00:15:20.32
covenant or a peace treaty with
Joshua so he wouldn't harm their
00:15:20.35\00:15:25.09
cities. Matthew can you please
read Joshua 9:7-9 and let's see
00:15:25.12\00:15:29.86
what happens.
00:15:29.89\00:15:31.63
Then the men of Israel said to
the Hivites, Perhaps you dwell
00:15:31.69\00:15:35.56
among us; so how can we make
a covenant with you? But they
00:15:35.60\00:15:39.23
said to Joshua, We are your
servants and Joshua said to them
00:15:39.27\00:15:42.00
Who are you and where do you
come from? So then said to him,
00:15:42.07\00:15:45.77
From a very far country, your
servants have come because of
00:15:45.84\00:15:49.11
the name of the Lord your God
for we have heard of His fame
00:15:49.14\00:15:52.41
and all that He did in Egypt.
00:15:52.45\00:15:54.38
Thanks Matthew. So upon
further questioning by both the
00:15:54.45\00:15:58.15
Israelites and Joshua, the
Gibeonites deny that they are
00:15:58.19\00:16:02.52
from Canaan. In Deuteronomy
7:2 God had warned, through
00:16:02.56\00:16:06.80
Moses, that when the Israelites
came into the land of Canaan
00:16:06.83\00:16:12.13
they were not to make any
covenants with the Canaanites
00:16:12.17\00:16:15.90
because God knew that this
would lead to idol worship and
00:16:15.94\00:16:19.67
spiritual decline.
The Gibeonites knew this
00:16:19.71\00:16:23.01
and they lied and they said
they came from a land far beyond
00:16:23.04\00:16:28.48
Canaan. Bethany, can you
please read Joshua 9:14-16.
00:16:28.52\00:16:32.95
Then the men of Israel took
some of their provisions but
00:16:32.99\00:16:37.39
they did not ask counsel of the
Lord. So Joshua made peace with
00:16:37.43\00:16:40.96
them and made a covenant with
them to let them live. And the
00:16:41.00\00:16:44.47
rulers of the congregation swore
to them. And it happened at the
00:16:44.50\00:16:47.94
end of three days after they
made a covenant with them that
00:16:47.97\00:16:51.67
they heard that they were their
neighbors who dwelt near them.
00:16:51.71\00:16:56.11
Okay, so Joshua made an unwise
decision. He didn't consult God.
00:16:56.14\00:17:00.55
He went ahead and made a
peace treaty with the Gibeonites
00:17:00.58\00:17:04.92
believing their lie. How many
days later did they find out?
00:17:04.95\00:17:09.12
Three. Three days later. Even
though the Gibeonites had got
00:17:09.16\00:17:13.26
their peace treaty through lying
because Joshua had made an oath
00:17:13.29\00:17:17.37
or a promise in the presence of
the Lord, they could not reverse
00:17:17.40\00:17:21.40
the treaty. Let's see what
happens next. Caleb can you
00:17:21.44\00:17:25.14
please read Joshua 10:3-4.
00:17:25.17\00:17:27.34
Therefore, Adoni-Zedek king of
Jerusalem sent to Horan king of
00:17:27.38\00:17:36.52
Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth,
Japhia king of Lachish and Debir
00:17:36.55\00:17:43.46
king of Eglon saying, Come
up to me and help me that we may
00:17:43.49\00:17:49.13
attack Gibeon, for it has made
peace with Joshua and with the
00:17:49.16\00:17:54.80
children of Israel.
00:17:54.84\00:17:56.17
Thanks Caleb. You did well, some
of those names are a bit tricky
00:17:56.20\00:17:59.67
aren't they. So there were five
kings that had declared to go
00:17:59.71\00:18:03.21
up and make war with the
Gibeonites for making a peace
00:18:03.24\00:18:06.21
treaty with the Israelites. So
even though the Gibeonites had
00:18:06.28\00:18:10.09
secured the peace treaty by
lying, they had given up their
00:18:10.12\00:18:13.52
idol worship and agreed to
worship the Israelites' God.
00:18:13.56\00:18:16.89
Therefore, Joshua had to honor
the covenant he made with them
00:18:16.93\00:18:21.13
and go to the Gibeonites rescue.
This time Joshua consulted God.
00:18:21.16\00:18:24.93
Do you think that's a good idea?
Yes. Always good to consult God
00:18:25.00\00:18:28.67
first. And we have just read
in verse eight that God promised
00:18:28.70\00:18:31.01
to be with Joshua and win the
battle for them. They marched
00:18:31.04\00:18:35.88
all night and arrived in the
morning. Let's see what God does
00:18:35.91\00:18:40.05
Auntie Cecily can you
read Joshua 10:11 please.
00:18:40.08\00:18:42.38
And it happened as they fled
before Israel and were on the
00:18:42.42\00:18:47.39
descent of Beth Horon, that the
Lord cast down large hail stones
00:18:47.42\00:18:52.49
from heaven on them as far as
Azekah and they died. There were
00:18:52.53\00:18:57.57
more who died from the
hail stones than the children of
00:18:57.60\00:19:01.14
Israel killed with the sword.
00:19:01.17\00:19:02.87
Oh, so God sent a very big hail
storm to fall on the enemy, but
00:19:02.90\00:19:08.28
something happened. Anna, can
you please read Joshua 10:12-13.
00:19:08.31\00:19:12.78
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in
the day when the Lord delivered
00:19:12.81\00:19:17.22
up the Amorites before the
children of Israel. And he said
00:19:17.25\00:19:21.26
in the sight of Israel, Sun
stand still over the Gibeon and
00:19:21.29\00:19:23.76
moon in the valley of Aijalon.
So the sun stood still and the
00:19:23.83\00:19:30.00
moon stopped till the people
had revenge upon their enemies.
00:19:30.03\00:19:34.40
Is this not written in the
book of Jasher? So the sun stood
00:19:34.44\00:19:38.14
stood still in the midst of
heaven and did not hasten to go
00:19:38.17\00:19:41.81
down for about a whole day.
00:19:41.84\00:19:44.71
Thank you. So Joshua knew he
needed more time to fight the
00:19:44.75\00:19:49.75
enemy. So he prayed and he
asked God to lengthen the day
00:19:49.78\00:19:55.36
by keeping the sun from
going down and God answered his
00:19:55.39\00:20:00.93
prayer. Verse 14 tells us it's
the only time in history that
00:20:00.96\00:20:04.13
it's the only time in history
that God has heeded a man's
00:20:04.17\00:20:08.04
voice and allowed the sun to
stand still. Isn't that awesome?
00:20:08.10\00:20:11.57
Now if we were to continue
reading the Bible, it tells us
00:20:11.61\00:20:14.94
that many areas in Canaan were
conquered for the children of
00:20:14.98\00:20:19.05
Israel. By this time, Joshua
was old and God wanted Joshua to
00:20:19.08\00:20:23.52
divide the land amongst the
Israelites and it was up to them
00:20:23.55\00:20:27.19
to subdue the land in their
territory. Now we have a big map
00:20:27.22\00:20:30.83
here and it shows us who
got what portion of the land.
00:20:30.86\00:20:35.26
I might get you to point to
a few Cecily. We've got Simeon
00:20:35.30\00:20:39.60
down in the bottom, the purple
area. We've got Judah; that
00:20:39.63\00:20:44.14
tribe had quite a large area.
We've got Dan and Benjamin and
00:20:44.17\00:20:48.14
Ephraim. Now the green bit
above is actually the tribe of
00:20:48.21\00:20:52.65
Manasseh and the tribe of
Manasseh had two areas, one on
00:20:52.68\00:20:57.09
one side of the Jordan, yeah
over there, thanks Cecily and
00:20:57.12\00:21:01.12
then one back over into the
main area. Thank you. And then
00:21:01.16\00:21:05.69
We've got Issachar, Zebulon,
Asher and Naphtali and then on
00:21:05.73\00:21:09.10
the other side of the Jordan,
the east side, we've got the
00:21:09.13\00:21:13.87
other half tribe of Manasseh,
Gad and Reuben. Okay. Now do you
00:21:13.90\00:21:18.14
remember there were two spies
all those years before that gave
00:21:18.17\00:21:22.41
a good report. Can you
remember who they were, Anna?
00:21:22.44\00:21:24.91
Joshua and Caleb.
00:21:24.95\00:21:26.38
Yes it was and after the
dividing of all that land that
00:21:26.41\00:21:30.19
you see there, Caleb came to
Joshua to claim the land that
00:21:30.22\00:21:34.82
God promised. Matthew, can
you please read Joshua 14:12-13.
00:21:34.89\00:21:40.00
Now, therefore, give me this
mountain of which the Lord spoke
00:21:40.03\00:21:45.90
in that; for you heard in that
day how the Anakin were there
00:21:45.93\00:21:50.94
and that the cities were great
and fortified. It may be that
00:21:50.97\00:21:55.51
the Lord will be with me and I
shall be able to drive them out
00:21:55.54\00:22:00.02
as the Lord said. And Joshua
blessed him and gave Hebron to
00:22:00.05\00:22:04.49
Caleb the son of
Jephunneh as an inheritance.
00:22:04.55\00:22:08.46
Wow. So Caleb wanted the
mountain that the 10 spies said
00:22:08.49\00:22:12.89
couldn't be conquered all those
years before because of the
00:22:12.96\00:22:16.56
giants. And we're going to talk
a bit about more giants later
00:22:16.60\00:22:21.00
on. Caleb was now 85 years old
and he wanted the town of Hebron
00:22:21.04\00:22:25.41
to show with God's strength
he and his tribe could conquer
00:22:25.47\00:22:30.71
those giants. What faith he had.
Aunt Cecily can you please show
00:22:30.75\00:22:35.05
us where the town of Hebron
is that Caleb wanted as his
00:22:35.08\00:22:39.39
in heritance. Right there. Thank
you. Okay. Now Bethany can you
00:22:39.42\00:22:42.89
please read Joshua 19:49-50.
00:22:42.92\00:22:46.23
When they had made an end
of dividing the land as an
00:22:46.26\00:22:50.73
inheritance according to their
borders, the children of Israel
00:22:50.77\00:22:54.20
gave an inheritance among
them to Joshua the son of Nun.
00:22:54.24\00:22:57.17
According to the word of
the Lord they gave him the city
00:22:57.21\00:23:00.48
which he asked for, Timnath-
Serah, in the mountains of
00:23:00.51\00:23:03.75
Ephraim. And he built
the city and dwelt in it.
00:23:03.78\00:23:06.72
So this was the city that Joshua
received. Let's have a look at
00:23:06.78\00:23:10.29
our Torch Light, Mrs. White's
writings, to see what they shine
00:23:10.32\00:23:13.79
on the verse. Kate can
you please read that for us.
00:23:13.82\00:23:19.39
To him, as to Caleb, a special
promise of inheritance had been
00:23:19.43\00:23:22.20
given, yet he asked for no
extensive province, but only a
00:23:22.23\00:23:26.63
single city. They gave him the
city which he asked,... and he
00:23:26.67\00:23:30.81
he built the city and dwelt
therein. The name given to the
00:23:30.84\00:23:35.74
city was Timnath-serah, the
portion that remains,-a standing
00:23:35.78\00:23:40.25
testimony to the noble character
and unselfish spirit of the
00:23:40.32\00:23:45.02
conqueror, who, instead of being
the first to appropriate the
00:23:45.05\00:23:51.39
spoils of conquest, deferred his
claim until the humblest of his
00:23:51.43\00:23:57.73
people had been served.
00:23:57.77\00:24:00.17
Thanks Kate. So Joshua received
his portion with a humble spirit
00:24:00.24\00:24:04.51
and this shows his character
of a true leader. Now Aunt
00:24:04.54\00:24:08.64
Cecily I'm just going to get you
to show the children where that
00:24:08.71\00:24:13.31
is, Timnath-serah. That's where
his claim was there. Now if we
00:24:13.35\00:24:17.42
were to continue reading the
book of Joshua he, like Moses,
00:24:17.45\00:24:21.46
warned the children of
Israel to be faithful to the
00:24:21.49\00:24:25.86
commandments. J J can
you read Joshua 24:29 please.
00:24:25.89\00:24:30.17
Now it came to pass after these
things that Joshua the son of
00:24:30.20\00:24:34.67
Nun, the servant of the Lord,
died being one-hundred and ten
00:24:34.70\00:24:39.11
years old.
00:24:39.14\00:24:40.48
Wow. So Joshua lived a long and
full life didn't he? We're going
00:24:40.51\00:24:44.08
do to our memory verse found
in Deuteronomy 10:20 and we're
00:24:44.11\00:24:50.25
going to read that together.
You've all got it there.
00:24:50.29\00:24:55.12
You shall fear the Lord your
God; you shall serve Him and to
00:24:55.16\00:25:01.30
Him you shall hold fast
and take oaths in his name.
00:25:01.33\00:25:08.14
Thank you so much. So that's
a good verse for us to claim
00:25:08.17\00:25:12.07
isn't it? Just like Joshua
we can also choose to serve God.
00:25:12.11\00:25:15.48
Thank you boys and girls for
reading along with us. We have
00:25:15.51\00:25:18.61

you. Auntie Nat can you tell us
what we're going to study about
00:25:57.55\00:26:00.86
next week?
00:26:00.89\00:26:02.22
Yes, next Sabbath we're going to
study about a man who tests God.
00:26:02.26\00:26:05.36
I wonder if you can work out
what that is. I'll give you a
00:26:05.39\00:26:08.76
clue. Have a look at the book
of Judges. Come back next week
00:26:08.80\00:26:12.23
and we'll study that together.
Aunt Cecily shall go over our
00:26:12.27\00:26:15.60
memory verse that we
learnt in our Bible study today.
00:26:15.67\00:26:17.71
Yes. Boys and girls,
are you ready to do that?
00:26:17.74\00:26:20.14
Deuteronomy 10:20-You shall fear
the Lord your God; you shall
00:26:20.18\00:26:28.08
serve Him and to
him you shall hold fast.
00:26:28.12\00:26:32.69
Auntie Nat, we've learned a
lot today, but our time's almost
00:26:32.72\00:26:36.49
gone.
00:26:36.52\00:26:37.86
Yes, our worship time always
goes by so quickly. Matthew
00:26:37.89\00:26:40.73
what did you learn
about the King today?
00:26:40.76\00:26:43.50
That praying to Jesus
keeps us close to Him.
00:26:43.53\00:26:46.20
Yes it certainly does. It's
a good thing to remember. Aunt
00:26:46.23\00:26:49.47
Cecily are you ready
to sing our good bye song?
00:26:49.50\00:26:53.14
Yes. Are you ready children?
Let's turn around and sing to
00:26:53.17\00:26:55.78
the boys and girls at home.
00:26:55.81\00:26:58.81
¤May God bless you and keep you

00:26:58.85\00:27:12.53
¤May God guide and protect
