Hello there! Happy Sabbath!
00:00:02.00\00:00:04.00
Come on in, we're
about to meet with the King!
00:00:04.03\00:00:07.47
Good day, I'm Aunty
Nat, and I'm Aunty Cecily!
00:00:53.68\00:00:57.35
We're so glad
you've decided to join us
00:00:57.39\00:00:59.42
in our worship time with
the King, aren't we kids? YES!
00:00:59.45\00:01:03.56
Aunt Cecily, I know you
have someone to say "hello" to
00:01:03.59\00:01:06.23
who has been
watching our program.
00:01:06.26\00:01:07.63
Yes, I'd like to say
"hello" to Cohen and Elijah
00:01:07.66\00:01:11.10
from New South Wales, Australia,
00:01:11.13\00:01:13.17
and I know they love
watching "A Day With The King"
00:01:13.20\00:01:15.90
And you know, they even
visited us here at 3ABN.
00:01:15.94\00:01:20.11
Hello! Hello! Hey!
00:01:20.14\00:01:22.64
It's so good that
so many of you are
00:01:22.68\00:01:24.91
joining us in
worshipping the King!
00:01:24.95\00:01:26.98
Isn't it good, our virtual
lounge room is getting bigger!
00:01:27.02\00:01:30.75
Aunty Nat, I think
we're going to need
00:01:30.79\00:01:32.75
a bigger lounge room soon.
00:01:32.79\00:01:34.12
Well that's the miracle of
technology, there will always
00:01:34.16\00:01:37.03
be enough room for
more children to join us
00:01:37.06\00:01:40.03
from around the world.
00:01:40.06\00:01:41.40
Aunty Nat, don't
forget to welcome Teddy!
00:01:41.43\00:01:43.67
Ohh, we can't forget to
welcome Teddy, but you know,
00:01:43.70\00:01:45.67
he's so easy to
forget because he's so quiet.
00:01:45.70\00:01:48.60
Kalie, can you
please say a prayer for us
00:01:48.64\00:01:50.91
to welcome in the Sabbath? Yes.
00:01:50.94\00:01:53.11
Dear Jesus... Thank You for
this wonderful day and thank You
00:01:53.14\00:01:59.05
that we all can be
here today. Amen, Amen!
00:01:59.08\00:02:03.32
Thank you Kalie.
00:02:03.35\00:02:04.69
How's your week
been Aunty Cecily?
00:02:04.72\00:02:06.69
I made some new friends
this week and I'm really
00:02:06.72\00:02:09.92
looking forward to
meeting them some more
00:02:09.96\00:02:12.49
and getting to know them better.
00:02:12.53\00:02:14.26
But I always love
coming to the Sabbath because
00:02:14.30\00:02:16.87
I get to know the
Lord better on the Sabbath.
00:02:16.90\00:02:19.37
Yeah, I'm so happy the Sabbath
is here so that we can just
00:02:19.40\00:02:22.64
stop and take some
time out to get to know God,
00:02:22.67\00:02:26.27
but do you know what
else we can do on the Sabbath?
00:02:26.31\00:02:28.78
We can share blessings
with people on the Sabbath.
00:02:28.81\00:02:31.21
And we've got our blessing
box here and Jireh is going to
00:02:31.25\00:02:34.98
open it and tell us something
that we can do for someone else.
00:02:35.02\00:02:38.75
Study the Bible
with some friends.
00:02:39.92\00:02:42.22
Wow, and do you know what?
00:02:42.26\00:02:43.59
That would be a good
opportunity to involve
00:02:43.63\00:02:45.39
friends who don't know Jesus.
00:02:45.43\00:02:47.16
Can you think of some
people who may want to learn
00:02:47.20\00:02:50.67
more about Jesus
through studying the Bible?
00:02:50.70\00:02:53.50
Jireh, can you think of
someone who can help you
00:02:53.54\00:02:55.67
study the Bible with
your friends? My dad!
00:02:55.70\00:02:58.21
Oh, that's such a good idea!
00:02:58.24\00:03:00.21
You know, sometimes
we need people to help us
00:03:00.24\00:03:03.04
to get started so that we can
get the confidence to do that.
00:03:03.08\00:03:06.21
Aunt Cecily, I know you've
been sharing some beautiful
00:03:06.25\00:03:09.12
blessings with us about
the second coming of Jesus,
00:03:09.15\00:03:11.25
can you tell us
one more? Yes, I can.
00:03:11.29\00:03:13.82
Do you remember our talk about
Satan pretending to be Jesus?
00:03:13.86\00:03:18.89
He wants to deceive us
into thinking that he is Jesus.
00:03:18.93\00:03:23.23
Later in our Bible story, we'll
discover that the Israelites
00:03:23.26\00:03:27.10
were deceived into thinking
that they knew better than God!
00:03:27.14\00:03:31.01
They wanted a king but
that was not God's plan.
00:03:31.04\00:03:35.14
I want to tell you another
way that we can be deceived
00:03:35.18\00:03:38.88
in the last days.
00:03:38.91\00:03:40.58
We've been talking about
the second coming of Jesus,
00:03:40.62\00:03:43.72
but we don't actually
know when He's going to come.
00:03:43.75\00:03:47.79
Mark 13:32-33 says...
"But of that day and hour,
00:03:47.82\00:03:54.06
no one knows; not
even the angels in heaven,
00:03:54.10\00:03:58.23
nor the Son,
but only the Father.
00:03:58.27\00:04:02.50
Take heed, watch and
pray for you do not know
00:04:02.54\00:04:06.11
when the time is."
00:04:06.14\00:04:07.58
So only God the
Father knows when Jesus is
00:04:07.61\00:04:10.98
coming back to take us home.
00:04:11.01\00:04:13.25
Matthew 25:13 says...
"Watch therefore, for you know
00:04:13.28\00:04:18.79
neither the day nor the hour
00:04:18.82\00:04:21.26
in which the Son
of Man is coming."
00:04:21.29\00:04:24.26
So Jesus is telling
us to watch and pray.
00:04:24.29\00:04:28.36
We may not know the
date, but Jesus has given us
00:04:28.40\00:04:31.93
some signs that we can
know when the time is near,
00:04:31.97\00:04:34.94
and you can read about
that in 2 Timothy 3:1-5.
00:04:34.97\00:04:41.61
You can look that
up in your Bibles.
00:04:41.64\00:04:44.31
If you hear on the news
or someone tells you the
00:04:44.35\00:04:47.62
date that Jesus is going
to return, don't believe them.
00:04:47.65\00:04:51.75
We have just read the
verses from the Bible that say
00:04:51.79\00:04:54.99
only God knows.
00:04:55.02\00:04:56.93
So trust and
believe in God's promises.
00:04:56.96\00:04:59.69
Ah, thanks Aunty Cecily!
00:04:59.73\00:05:01.86
Jesus really wants us to watch
and pray and study our Bibles
00:05:01.90\00:05:05.50
so we don't get confused about
when Jesus is going to come.
00:05:05.53\00:05:09.54
Do you know what?
00:05:09.57\00:05:11.04
I think Pastor
Rick is over there.
00:05:11.07\00:05:12.77
Thanks, Pastor
Rick, for joining us!
00:05:12.81\00:05:15.18
Lovely as always to be
with everyone, especially
00:05:15.21\00:05:19.55
singing praises and
songs to Jesus and our first
00:05:19.58\00:05:21.92
song I'd like us to sing
is, "Happiness is the Lord."
00:05:21.95\00:05:25.32
Pastor Rick, can we please
sing, "Every day With Jesus."
00:06:40.40\00:06:43.57
"Every day With Jesus,"
what a wonderful thought kids
00:06:43.60\00:06:46.60
if we'd spent
every day with Jesus,
00:06:46.63\00:06:49.07
how special would
that be? Beautiful!
00:06:49.10\00:06:51.17
So we're going to
sing this through twice.
00:06:51.81\00:06:53.78
Pastor Rick, can we sing
"Standing on the Promises?"
00:07:59.84\00:08:03.04
I think that's a lovely song!
00:08:03.08\00:08:04.45
All of the songs we
sing are really good songs,
00:08:04.48\00:08:06.38
but this is special because
it's talking about the promises
00:08:06.41\00:08:09.72
that God gives us and you
can be sure to stand on them.
00:08:09.75\00:08:12.15
And it moves along a bit!
00:08:12.19\00:08:14.06
Thanks Pastor Rick,
that was really enjoyable!
00:08:53.03\00:08:55.66
We've been talking a
lot in our worships about
00:08:55.70\00:08:58.47
believing God's promises -
just like our last song said.
00:08:58.50\00:09:02.24
And now it's time to
catch up with Dr. John and enjoy
00:09:02.27\00:09:05.81
another one of his
VERY interesting stories.
00:09:05.84\00:09:09.28
Hello boys and girls, I'm Dr.
John and welcome to story time,
00:09:09.88\00:09:14.85
and to all the boys and
girls watching - we're really
00:09:14.88\00:09:17.89
glad to have you too.
00:09:17.92\00:09:20.06
I'm going to ask you a question,
first of all to the boys...
00:09:20.09\00:09:24.09
Put your hand up, be honest,
if you have a girlfriend.
00:09:24.13\00:09:29.66
Oh girls, put your hand
up if you have a boyfriend.
00:09:30.07\00:09:36.94
I think I know why... because
you're only about 9, 10, 11.
00:09:36.97\00:09:44.21
Another 10 years from now
and you'll be very interested
00:09:44.25\00:09:49.12
in wondering who
you're going to marry.
00:09:49.15\00:09:53.66
You know, when I grew
up, I knew a boy who never
00:09:53.69\00:09:58.89
met his wife until
the day they got married,
00:09:58.93\00:10:02.86
but I had seen her.
00:10:02.90\00:10:05.53
He wasn't allowed to see
her because it was called
00:10:05.57\00:10:09.67
"an arranged marriage,"
and he used to wonder,
00:10:09.70\00:10:13.88
"What does she look
like? Is she fair? Is she fat?
00:10:13.91\00:10:18.41
Is she thin? Is
she smart? Is she dumb?
00:10:18.45\00:10:21.12
Can she cook?"
00:10:21.15\00:10:22.58
And he used to come to us and
he used to say, "What does my
00:10:22.62\00:10:27.89
wife-to-be look like?"
00:10:27.92\00:10:31.79
We were very naughty.
00:10:31.83\00:10:33.63
We said, "She's got a big
wart on the end of her nose."
00:10:33.66\00:10:37.90
Laughter from children.
00:10:37.93\00:10:39.27
"Really?" And she's got
ears like an elephant." "Oh no!"
00:10:39.30\00:10:44.31
"And a great big
beak." He was so worried.
00:10:44.34\00:10:48.14
And the day he saw
her, she was so beautiful,
00:10:48.18\00:10:52.65
and he looked at us
to say... "You rats!
00:10:52.68\00:10:56.95
You told us all
the wrong things."
00:10:56.99\00:10:59.65
You know when I first met
my wife, who was to become
00:10:59.69\00:11:03.46
Mrs. Hammond, I saw her
and I thought, "You are so
00:11:03.49\00:11:07.66
beautiful and I'm gonna change
your name to Mrs. Hammond,"
00:11:07.70\00:11:12.30
and I did!
00:11:12.33\00:11:13.67
And when I asked her to
marry me, she said, "Yes,"
00:11:13.70\00:11:18.87
of course she would.
00:11:18.91\00:11:21.94
What do you arrange when
you're going to have a marriage?
00:11:21.98\00:11:25.95
What's the first thing?
00:11:25.98\00:11:28.25
The date, and the
next thing? The church.
00:11:29.05\00:11:36.46
Obviously you girls and boys
have never been married before.
00:11:36.49\00:11:40.33
And then who is the pastor
who is going to marry you.
00:11:40.36\00:11:44.60
And you arrange
all these things.
00:11:44.63\00:11:46.67
Well, I want to tell
you about "Natonga and Nai,"
00:11:46.70\00:11:51.61
and they lived in this village,
on this island of Bellona
00:11:51.64\00:11:56.24
in the Solomon
Islands and they fell in love,
00:11:56.28\00:11:59.71
and they wanted to get married,
but there was a problem.
00:11:59.75\00:12:04.42
There was a church;
they had all their friends;
00:12:04.45\00:12:08.66
they were old enough;
they loved each other;
00:12:08.69\00:12:11.99
he was handsome; she was
pretty... there was one problem.
00:12:12.03\00:12:16.56
The war was on and all
the pastors had gone away.
00:12:16.60\00:12:22.30
And they said, "Oh, we
really want to get married,
00:12:22.34\00:12:25.27
please, what
are we going to do?"
00:12:25.31\00:12:27.88
And they would hold hands
and look at each other and say,
00:12:27.91\00:12:31.31
"We're going to get married,
who is going to marry us?"
00:12:31.35\00:12:35.58
Until Natonga had a brilliant
idea - he said, "I know
00:12:35.62\00:12:41.26
what to do, Nai... and he
got the church; they brought all
00:12:41.29\00:12:45.76
the flowers and they got
all the visitors to dress up
00:12:45.79\00:12:49.53
in their best clothes and
they went into the church,
00:12:49.56\00:12:54.37
and there was no pastor and you
know what Natonga said to Nai?
00:12:54.40\00:12:59.21
The pastor is here,
Jesus is going to marry us.
00:13:00.34\00:13:05.85
And they said,
"That's a good idea." Shhhh
00:13:05.88\00:13:10.55
And they all knelt down
in the front of the church,
00:13:10.59\00:13:13.42
they knelt on the cushions
and everybody was sitting there;
00:13:13.46\00:13:17.46
all the flowers were in
the window along the aisle,
00:13:17.49\00:13:20.60
and they shut their eyes and
Natonga said, in a loud voice,
00:13:20.63\00:13:25.40
"Jesus, I hope You are
listening, I hope You are here
00:13:25.43\00:13:30.34
with us and we want you to
marry us and while our eyes
00:13:30.37\00:13:35.68
are shut and our heads
are bowed, please marry us,"
00:13:35.71\00:13:40.75
and everybody shut their eyes.
00:13:40.78\00:13:42.92
And when they opened their
eyes, Natonga said, "Ladies and
00:13:42.95\00:13:48.36
gentleman, we are now married."
00:13:48.39\00:13:53.03
And everybody clapped and
gave them a round of applause,
00:13:53.06\00:13:56.36
and they had a big party.
00:13:56.40\00:13:57.73
And when they were all finished
and the missionary came back,
00:13:57.77\00:14:01.87
he said, "Are you married?"
00:14:01.90\00:14:03.74
"Oh yes, we're married
and here's our little baby
00:14:03.77\00:14:07.64
because Jesus married us."
00:14:07.68\00:14:09.74
And that was the happiest
marriage you have ever seen.
00:14:09.78\00:14:12.98
Thank you boys and girls.
00:14:13.01\00:14:15.98
Hi boys and girls,
welcome to our Bible study.
00:14:16.32\00:14:18.89
If you haven't got
your Bibles ready yet,
00:14:18.92\00:14:20.89
go get them now so you
can follow along with us.
00:14:20.92\00:14:23.56
Matthew, you're going
to say a prayer for us,
00:14:23.59\00:14:26.63
can you please pray?
00:14:26.66\00:14:28.70
"Dear Father... Thank
You for loving us so much!
00:14:29.70\00:14:32.40
Thank You for Your
word where we can learn more
00:14:32.43\00:14:34.90
about You and what
You have done for us.
00:14:34.94\00:14:37.07
Be with the children at
home who are watching right now.
00:14:37.11\00:14:39.81
In Jesus name... Amen,
Amen! Thank you Matthew.
00:14:39.84\00:14:43.45
Now Caleb, we studied something
very interesting last week.
00:14:43.48\00:14:47.15
We studied about how
the Philistines stole
00:14:47.18\00:14:50.89
the ark of the covenant.
00:14:50.92\00:14:52.25
Was that a positive
experience for them? No.
00:14:52.29\00:14:55.09
No it wasn't, and what did
they want to do with the ark?
00:14:55.12\00:14:57.73
They wanted to give it back.
00:14:57.76\00:14:59.09
They did and it did go back
to the Israelites, didn't it?
00:14:59.13\00:15:01.83
Yes, that was a
very interesting story.
00:15:01.86\00:15:04.43
Okay, so today we're going
to study how the first king of
00:15:04.47\00:15:08.44
Israel came about.
00:15:08.47\00:15:10.37
And Anna, as always you're
going to start off our reading,
00:15:10.41\00:15:13.38
1 Samuel 8:1-3...
00:15:13.41\00:15:16.54
"Now it came to pass when
Samuel was old that he made
00:15:16.58\00:15:20.62
his sons judges over Israel.
00:15:20.65\00:15:23.32
The name of his firstborn
was Joel; the name of his
00:15:23.35\00:15:28.06
second son Abijah.
00:15:28.09\00:15:29.89
They were judges in Beersheba.
00:15:29.92\00:15:32.29
But his sons did
not walk in his ways.
00:15:32.33\00:15:34.93
They turned aside after
dishonest gain; took bribes
00:15:34.96\00:15:39.30
and perverted
justice." Thanks Anna.
00:15:39.33\00:15:42.80
So now Samuel was a
priest, a prophet and a judge.
00:15:42.84\00:15:47.08
And his godly
life had been a great
00:15:47.11\00:15:49.01
influence on the Israelites
which brought great reform
00:15:49.04\00:15:52.91
in Israel.
00:15:52.95\00:15:54.28
Samuel, because of his old
age, had handed the judging
00:15:54.32\00:15:57.95
responsibilities to his
sons, but Samuel's sons were
00:15:57.99\00:16:01.72
doing the wrong thing
and they chose not to follow
00:16:01.76\00:16:06.43
in their father's
footsteps. Let's read on...
00:16:06.46\00:16:08.80
Matthew can you
please read 1 Samuel 8:4-6.
00:16:08.83\00:16:14.34
"Then all the elders of
Israel gathered together and
00:16:15.27\00:16:18.47
came to Samuel at Ramah,
00:16:18.51\00:16:20.14
and said to him, "Look, you
are old and your sons do not
00:16:20.18\00:16:24.11
walk in your ways; now make us a
00:16:24.15\00:16:25.98
king to judge us
like other nations.
00:16:26.01\00:16:29.08
But the thing displeased
Samuel when they said,
00:16:29.12\00:16:31.49
"Give us a king to judge us."
00:16:31.52\00:16:32.92
So Samuel prayed to the Lord."
00:16:32.95\00:16:34.96
So what are the
people asking for? A king!
00:16:34.99\00:16:39.06
They're asking for a king, just
like the nations around them.
00:16:39.09\00:16:43.10
But up until this time,
God was the head of the nation,
00:16:43.13\00:16:46.50
and He had used
people like Samuel
00:16:46.53\00:16:48.87
to guide the Israelite nation,
00:16:48.90\00:16:51.14
but now the Israelites
wanted a king to rule them.
00:16:51.17\00:16:54.38
God wanted Samuel to
tell the Israelites what was
00:16:54.41\00:16:58.11
going to happen if a
king ruled over them.
00:16:58.15\00:17:00.65
Let's see what
some of the things are.
00:17:00.68\00:17:02.78
Kate, can you please
read 1 Samuel 8:15-17.
00:17:02.82\00:17:07.39
"He will take a tenth of
your grain and your vintage,
00:17:08.42\00:17:11.16
and give it to his
officers and servants.
00:17:11.19\00:17:15.13
And he will take your male
servants, your female servants,
00:17:15.16\00:17:18.27
your finest young
men and your donkeys,
00:17:18.33\00:17:21.20
and put them to his work.
00:17:21.24\00:17:22.74
He will take a
tenth of your sheep,
00:17:22.77\00:17:25.77
and you will be his servants."
00:17:25.81\00:17:28.38
So it sounds like there's
going to be a lot of taking.
00:17:29.14\00:17:31.21
The king is going to take a lot.
00:17:31.25\00:17:32.91
Do you know what - God knows
the end from the beginning,
00:17:32.95\00:17:36.08
and He knew down the track
that there was going to be some
00:17:36.12\00:17:38.55
good kings, but
there was also going to be
00:17:38.59\00:17:40.96
some pretty wicked kings.
00:17:40.99\00:17:42.36
And, do you know what -
God knows what's best for us.
00:17:42.39\00:17:45.96
But even though Samuel
warned them, the Israelites
00:17:45.99\00:17:49.10
still wanted a king.
00:17:49.13\00:17:50.47
Caleb, you're going to
read for us, 1 Samuel 8:22.
00:17:50.50\00:17:54.54
"So the Lord said to
Samuel, "Heed their voice,
00:17:55.97\00:18:00.28
make them a king."
00:18:00.31\00:18:01.88
And Samuel said
to the men of Israel,
00:18:01.91\00:18:04.58
"Every man go to his city."
00:18:04.61\00:18:07.18
Hmm. Okay J. J., you're going
to read our torch light today,
00:18:07.22\00:18:11.09
our writings from Mrs.
Ellen White and they're going to
00:18:11.12\00:18:14.46
shine some information on
that verse that we just read.
00:18:14.49\00:18:19.39
"When men choose to have
their own way without seeking
00:18:22.36\00:18:26.33
counsel from God, go in
opposition to His revealed will,
00:18:26.37\00:18:30.71
He often grants their desires
00:18:30.74\00:18:33.21
in order that through the bitter
00:18:33.24\00:18:34.91
experience that follows,
they may be led to realize their
00:18:40.55\00:18:44.69
folly and to repent for
their sin." Thank you J. J.
00:18:44.72\00:18:49.16
Do you know
what? God let them have
00:18:49.19\00:18:51.86
a king even though He
knew it was not best for them.
00:18:51.89\00:18:56.13
God allowed them
to have free choice.
00:18:56.16\00:18:59.47
We will find out, in
the Sabbaths to come,
00:18:59.50\00:19:02.07
what happens because
of the choice they made.
00:19:02.10\00:19:05.27
So we are now going to
discover who the son of a man
00:19:05.31\00:19:08.91
named "Kish" was.
00:19:08.94\00:19:10.28
Aunt Cecily, can you
please read us 1 Samuel 9:2-3.
00:19:10.31\00:19:14.68
"And he had a choice and
handsome son whose name was
00:19:14.72\00:19:18.65
Saul. There was not a
more handsome person than he
00:19:18.69\00:19:22.56
among the children of Israel.
00:19:22.59\00:19:24.23
From his shoulders
upward, he was taller than any
00:19:24.26\00:19:27.90
of the people.
00:19:27.93\00:19:29.26
Now the donkeys of Kish,
Saul's father, were lost,
00:19:29.30\00:19:33.23
and Kish said to his son,
Saul, "Please take one of the
00:19:33.27\00:19:37.91
servants with you and arise,
go and look for the donkeys."
00:19:37.97\00:19:42.58
Umm, thanks Aunty Cecily.
00:19:42.61\00:19:44.61
So the name of
Kish's son was who? Saul!
00:19:44.65\00:19:48.92
And Saul was sent by his
father, with a servant to find
00:19:48.95\00:19:52.45
his donkeys that
had gone missing.
00:19:52.49\00:19:54.02
Anna, can you
please read 1 Samuel 9:4-6.
00:19:54.06\00:19:59.79
"So he passed through
the mountains of Ephraim,
00:19:59.83\00:20:03.13
and through the
land of Shalisha,
00:20:03.16\00:20:05.43
but they did not find them.
00:20:05.47\00:20:07.10
Then they passed
through the land of Shaalim,
00:20:07.14\00:20:12.51
and they were not there.
00:20:12.54\00:20:13.91
Then he passed through
the land of the Benjamites,
00:20:13.94\00:20:18.95
but they did not find them.
00:20:18.98\00:20:20.58
When they had come to
the land of Zuph, Saul said
00:20:20.62\00:20:24.95
to his servant who was
with him, "Come, let us return,
00:20:24.99\00:20:28.62
lest my father cease
caring about the donkeys
00:20:29.59\00:20:31.09
and become worried about us."
00:20:31.13\00:20:33.29
And he said to him, "Look
now, there is in this city
00:20:33.33\00:20:36.90
a man of God, and
he is an honorable man;
00:20:36.93\00:20:39.53
all that he says
surely comes to pass.
00:20:39.57\00:20:42.30
So let us go
there; perhaps he can show
00:20:42.34\00:20:44.74
us the way that we
should go." Thanks Anna.
00:20:44.77\00:20:47.98
So they looked all over
the countryside for three days,
00:20:48.01\00:20:51.28
looking for
those missing donkeys.
00:20:51.31\00:20:52.91
Did they find
them? No, they didn't.
00:20:52.95\00:20:55.98
No, so Saul's servant
had an idea to go and see
00:20:56.02\00:21:00.49
Samuel who was
the prophet who lived
00:21:00.52\00:21:02.96
nearby in the city of Ramah.
00:21:02.99\00:21:05.29
Perhaps he could
tell them what to do next.
00:21:05.33\00:21:08.03
Now Matthew, let's read
about that, 1 Samuel 9:14-17.
00:21:08.06\00:21:13.07
"So they went up to the city.
00:21:13.94\00:21:15.74
As they were coming into
the city, there was Samuel,
00:21:15.77\00:21:19.24
coming out toward them on
his way up to the high place.
00:21:19.27\00:21:22.11
Now the Lord had told Samuel
in his ear the day before Saul
00:21:22.14\00:21:26.08
came, saying, "Tomorrow about
this time I will send you a man
00:21:26.11\00:21:29.62
from the land of Benjamin, and
you shall anoint him commander
00:21:29.65\00:21:33.05
over My people Israel,
that he may save My people
00:21:33.09\00:21:36.59
from the hand of the
Philistines; for I have looked
00:21:36.62\00:21:39.59
upon My People, because
their cry has come to Me."
00:21:39.63\00:21:42.80
So when Samuel saw
Saul, the Lord said to him,
00:21:42.83\00:21:46.77
"There he is, the man
of whom I spoke to you.
00:21:46.80\00:21:49.90
This one shall reign over
My people." Thanks Matthew.
00:21:49.94\00:21:53.34
So the Lord had told Samuel that
he would meet Saul on this day,
00:21:53.38\00:21:57.68
and that he was
going to be the king.
00:21:57.71\00:21:59.58
Bethany, can you please
read 1 Samuel 9:18-20? Yep.
00:21:59.61\00:22:05.39
"Then Saul drew near to
Samuel in the gate, and said,
00:22:05.42\00:22:09.22
"Please tell me,
where is the seer's house?"
00:22:09.26\00:22:11.63
Samuel answered Saul
and said, "I am the seer.
00:22:11.66\00:22:14.93
Go up before me to the high
place, for you shall eat with
00:22:14.96\00:22:18.03
me today and tomorrow I will
let you go and will tell you
00:22:18.07\00:22:23.07
all that is in your heart.
00:22:23.10\00:22:25.44
But as for the donkeys
that were lost three days ago,
00:22:25.47\00:22:28.68
do not be anxious about
them, for they have been found.
00:22:28.71\00:22:31.88
And on whom is all
the desire of Israel?
00:22:31.91\00:22:34.55
Is it not on you and on
all your father's house?"
00:22:34.58\00:22:40.32
Umm, so Samuel invites
Saul to the sacrificial feast,
00:22:40.36\00:22:44.76
and after the offering
has been made, he tells Saul
00:22:44.79\00:22:49.16
his donkeys have been found.
00:22:49.20\00:22:51.20
Samuel also indicates to
Saul that something was going
00:22:51.23\00:22:54.74
to happen to him to
change his life forever.
00:22:54.80\00:22:57.81
Okay, Kate, can you please
read 1 Samuel 9:27 and 10:1.
00:22:57.84\00:23:03.31
"As they were going down
to the outskirts of the city,
00:23:03.35\00:23:08.75
Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the
servant to go on ahead of us."
00:23:08.78\00:23:12.15
And he went on. "But you
stand here awhile, that I may
00:23:12.19\00:23:15.36
announce to you
the word of God."
00:23:15.39\00:23:17.96
"Then Samuel took a flask of
oil and poured it on his head,
00:23:17.99\00:23:21.60
and kissed him and said:
"Is it not because the Lord
00:23:21.63\00:23:25.50
has anointed you commander over
His inheritance?" Thanks Kate.
00:23:25.53\00:23:29.97
So Samuel anointed Saul as king.
00:23:30.01\00:23:33.11
So Samuel calls all
the Israelites to Mizpah
00:23:33.14\00:23:36.28
to publically choose
the king that they requested
00:23:36.31\00:23:38.78
by casting lot through
prayer and divine guidance.
00:23:38.81\00:23:42.75
Let's read that, Caleb,
1 Samuel 10:20-22 please.
00:23:42.78\00:23:47.96
"And when Samuel had caused
all the tribes of Israel to come
00:23:47.99\00:23:53.56
near, the tribe of
Benjamin was chosen.
00:23:53.60\00:23:57.23
When he had called the
tribe of Benjamin to come near
00:23:57.27\00:24:01.80
by their families, the
family of Matri was chosen.
00:24:01.84\00:24:06.54
And Saul the son
of Kish was chosen.
00:24:06.57\00:24:09.68
But when they sought
him, he could not be found.
00:24:09.71\00:24:13.72
Therefore they
inquired of the Lord further,
00:24:13.75\00:24:17.62
"Has the man come here yet?"
00:24:17.65\00:24:19.65
And the Lord answered,
"There he is, hidden among the
00:24:20.02\00:24:23.49
equipment."
00:24:23.53\00:24:25.69
So Saul was so overwhelmed
with the responsibility
00:24:25.73\00:24:28.53
ahead of him, he hid, but
God told them where to find him.
00:24:28.56\00:24:33.13
Let's look at our memory
verse found in 1 Samuel 12:24,
00:24:33.17\00:24:37.74
and let's read that together.
00:24:37.77\00:24:39.37
So God was reminding
them that He was their God,
00:24:52.12\00:24:55.46
and to remember
the wonderful things
00:24:55.49\00:24:57.99
that He had done for them.
00:24:58.03\00:24:59.36
I think that's something
we could remember as well.
00:24:59.39\00:25:03.03

00:26:11.63\00:26:13.97
what happens when
a prideful heart gets
00:26:14.00\00:26:16.14
in the way of serving God.
00:26:16.17\00:26:17.97
It's a very interesting story
that we can all learn from,
00:26:18.01\00:26:21.28
so come back next week!
00:26:21.31\00:26:22.81
Aunt Cecily, will we
go over our memory verse?
00:26:22.84\00:26:25.08
Yes, you ready
to do that children?
00:26:25.11\00:26:26.98
Let's read
together? 1 Samuel 12:24
00:26:27.02\00:26:32.25
Caleb, we've come to the
end of another worship time,
00:26:44.43\00:26:47.24
what did you learn
about the King today?
00:26:47.27\00:26:49.20
That God knows
what's best for us.
00:26:49.24\00:26:50.97
Oh yes, He sure does!
00:26:51.01\00:26:52.57
Do you know, in our own
human eyes, we sometimes
00:26:52.61\00:26:55.11
think we know
what's best for us.
00:26:55.14\00:26:56.98
But God knows the
end from the beginning
00:26:57.01\00:26:58.98
and we need to trust Him.
00:26:59.01\00:27:00.52
Aunt Cecily, can we
sing our blessing song now?
00:27:00.55\00:27:03.49
Yes, it's already time for that.
00:27:03.52\00:27:05.55
We've come to the
end of another worship.
00:27:05.59\00:27:07.46
Let's turn around and
sing farewell to the children.
00:27:07.49\00:27:11.23
May God bless you and keep you,
00:27:15.70\00:27:20.80
and fill your heart with love.
00:27:20.84\00:27:25.97
May God guide and protect you,
00:27:26.01\00:27:30.78
and watch you from above.
00:27:30.81\00:27:36.28
As Sabbath after Sabbath,
00:27:36.32\00:27:40.99
we greet the Day of Rest.
00:27:41.22\00:27:46.19
The Day the King of glory
00:27:46.23\00:27:51.57
has sanctified and blessed.
00:27:51.60\00:27:56.77
Goodbye my
friend, till we meet again
00:27:56.81\00:28:01.71
for another day with the King.
00:28:01.74\00:28:07.08
Goodbye! See you next Sabbath!
00:28:07.38\00:28:11.32
I'm looking forward to
going to heaven because
00:28:21.26\00:28:23.10
they'll be never-ending food.
00:28:23.13\00:28:25.07
I'm looking
forward to going to heaven
00:28:29.30\00:28:32.17
because I'd get to see
all the Bible characters.
00:28:32.21\00:28:36.71
I can't wait to
get to heaven because
00:28:39.31\00:28:41.35
I'd be able to play
with all the animals.
00:28:41.38\00:28:43.99
