Hello there! Happy Sabbath!
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.40
Come on in, we're
about to meet with the King!
00:00:03.43\00:00:06.20
Hello, I'm Aunty
Cecily and I'm so glad
00:00:53.98\00:00:56.35
you've come back to
join us in our worship time.
00:00:56.38\00:00:59.55
And Aunty Nat, it's great
to see you here as always!
00:00:59.59\00:01:02.72
Oh thanks Aunty Cecily,
I'm so glad I'm here too,
00:01:02.76\00:01:06.06
and I wouldn't miss it!
00:01:06.09\00:01:07.46
And hello kids, how
has your week been? Good!
00:01:07.50\00:01:11.17
Aunty Nat, my brother Elijah
was baptized last Sabbath.
00:01:11.20\00:01:14.57
Oh Caleb, that must have
been a wonderful blessing
00:01:14.60\00:01:16.84
for your family this past week.
00:01:16.87\00:01:18.51
You know boys and
girls, Elijah used to be on
00:01:18.54\00:01:20.51
the "Day With the
King," so it's wonderful that
00:01:20.54\00:01:22.64
he's taken a step in baptism.
00:01:22.68\00:01:24.41
Thank you, Caleb,
for sharing that with us.
00:01:24.45\00:01:26.68
Now Aunty Nat, I know you
want to send a big "Hello"
00:01:26.72\00:01:29.15
to some people who are
watching our program each week.
00:01:29.18\00:01:32.72
Yes, we've been told that
there are people watching us
00:01:32.75\00:01:35.26
in India and I want to
say a big "Hello" to you all.
00:01:35.29\00:01:38.03
"HELLO!" Hello! Hello!
00:01:38.06\00:01:40.30
If you are watching
us from India, drop us an
00:01:40.33\00:01:42.16
email and let us know, we
would love to hear from you.
00:01:42.20\00:01:45.03
Our email address
is now on the screen.
00:01:45.07\00:01:47.64
Aunt Cecily, have
you been to India?
00:01:47.67\00:01:49.40
Only an airport
stopover in Delhi,
00:01:49.44\00:01:52.17
but India is a
fascinating country!
00:01:52.21\00:01:55.58
And talking
about places to visit,
00:01:55.61\00:01:57.68
have you checked out
Teddy on our website.
00:01:57.71\00:02:00.82
He's such an active
bunny. and yet he sits
00:02:00.85\00:02:03.49
so quietly here on the
sofa that you wouldn't even
00:02:03.52\00:02:06.49
hardly know he was here.
00:02:06.52\00:02:08.16
Hello Teddy!
You're such a good bunny!
00:02:08.19\00:02:11.83
Aunty Nat, could you
please say a prayer for us
00:02:11.86\00:02:14.03
before we commence our
worship? Yes, I'd love to.
00:02:14.06\00:02:17.43
Dearest Heavenly
Father... We just thank You
00:02:17.47\00:02:20.00
so much for being with us.
00:02:20.04\00:02:21.90
We thank You for our
safe-keeping this last week;
00:02:21.94\00:02:24.74
we thank You, Lord, that we're
here together to worship You;
00:02:24.77\00:02:27.88
we thank You for the Sabbath,
and we just ask a special
00:02:27.91\00:02:30.88
blessing on the
children at home.
00:02:30.91\00:02:32.61
In Jesus name... Amen, Amen!
00:02:32.65\00:02:35.88
Thanks Aunty Nat.
00:02:35.92\00:02:37.59
Do you know that I'm so glad
that the Sabbath has arrived,
00:02:37.62\00:02:40.59
and that we can pause
and spend time with our Lord.
00:02:40.62\00:02:43.83
Let's have a look
at our blessing box
00:02:43.86\00:02:46.83
and see what kind
of a blessing we can be
00:02:46.86\00:02:48.73
to someone else this Sabbath.
00:02:48.76\00:02:50.77
Bethany, can you
open the box and read us a
00:02:50.80\00:02:53.37
blessing that we can share
with someone else today? Yes.
00:02:53.40\00:02:57.07
"Make a card and give it
to your Sabbath School teacher
00:02:57.11\00:03:00.68
to tell them how
much you appreciate them."
00:03:00.71\00:03:02.98
Oh I'm sure they'd be
very blessed by being told
00:03:03.01\00:03:05.75
that you appreciate them,
what do you think Aunty Nat?
00:03:05.78\00:03:08.32
Oh, I think we don't do
enough in stopping and thanking
00:03:08.35\00:03:11.25
God for placing
such valuable people
00:03:11.29\00:03:13.79
in our lives to
help us on our journey.
00:03:13.82\00:03:16.06
I think making a card to
show how much we appreciate
00:03:16.09\00:03:19.29
them is a wonderful idea.
00:03:19.33\00:03:20.90
Now Aunty Cecily,
you have something
00:03:20.93\00:03:22.63
to share with us as well.
00:03:22.66\00:03:24.10
You know we spoke
last Sabbath about the
00:03:24.13\00:03:27.14
wonderful bodies that Jesus
will give us when He returns,
00:03:27.17\00:03:31.41
but to remind us
how much He loves us.
00:03:31.44\00:03:34.18
Jesus will retain
for eternity the scars
00:03:34.21\00:03:37.81
that He received
when dying on the cross.
00:03:37.85\00:03:40.72
We serve an amazing God.
00:03:40.75\00:03:43.42
Later in our Bible study,
we'll discover what happened
00:03:43.45\00:03:46.99
to David when he was
running away from Saul.
00:03:47.02\00:03:50.56
At times, David was
in fear of his life.
00:03:50.59\00:03:53.86
Do you know, in heaven
there'll be no more fear
00:03:53.90\00:03:56.97
or sadness.
00:03:57.00\00:03:58.33
There'll also be no
more jealousy or violence,
00:03:58.37\00:04:01.57
and heaven will be a
perfect place without sin.
00:04:01.60\00:04:05.44
It's hard for us to
imagine, isn't it? Yes.
00:04:05.47\00:04:08.71
No, no one will be hurt anymore,
00:04:08.74\00:04:11.85
and no one will
hurt anyone else anymore.
00:04:11.88\00:04:14.72
Revelation 21:4 says, "And
God will wipe away every tear
00:04:14.75\00:04:20.39
from their eyes and
they'll be no more death,
00:04:20.42\00:04:23.43
nor sorrow, nor crying
and they'll be no more pain
00:04:23.46\00:04:28.20
for the former
things have passed away."
00:04:28.23\00:04:30.93
Isn't that wonderful?
00:04:30.97\00:04:33.27
Do you know, the animals will
not hurt one another either.
00:04:33.30\00:04:37.54
Listen to Isaiah
65:25: "The wolf and the lamb
00:04:37.57\00:04:42.81
shall feed together; the lion
shall eat straw like the ox;
00:04:42.84\00:04:47.12
and the dust shall
be the serpent's food.
00:04:47.15\00:04:49.88
They shall not hurt nor destroy
in all My holy mountain,"
00:04:49.92\00:04:54.79
says the Lord."
00:04:54.82\00:04:56.16
It's going to be a
very safe place to live.
00:04:56.19\00:05:00.16
Imagine playing with animals
all day and having no fear
00:05:00.20\00:05:04.20
of being hurt.
00:05:04.23\00:05:06.03
I'm putting my order in
for a pet lion! Laughter.
00:05:06.07\00:05:10.17
Heaven is going to be
a wonderful place to be,
00:05:10.21\00:05:12.74
isn't it? So let's believe
and trust in God's promises.
00:05:12.77\00:05:16.54
Wow! Thanks Aunty Cecily
for sharing that with us.
00:05:16.58\00:05:19.31
It sounds like heaven is
going to be a wonderful place!
00:05:19.35\00:05:22.28
I'm especially looking forward
00:05:22.32\00:05:23.85
to spending time in
eternity with Jesus.
00:05:23.89\00:05:26.79
Oh, look who has just arrived!
00:05:26.82\00:05:28.52
Pastor Rick, you are
such a blessing to us!
00:05:28.56\00:05:30.49
Thank you for joining
us in our worship time.
00:05:30.53\00:05:32.59
I'm so glad to be
here at worship time,
00:05:32.63\00:05:34.83
particularly the Sabbath cause
that is just a wonderful time.
00:05:34.86\00:05:37.53
And I have a song called, "We
Gather to Meet With the King."
00:05:37.57\00:05:41.07
Can we sing it
together, please? Yes! Okay.
00:05:41.10\00:05:44.21
Pastor Rick, can we
please sing "Jesus is Coming?"
00:06:24.18\00:06:27.82
We certainly can.
"Jesus is Coming Again"
00:06:27.85\00:06:32.32
Pastor Rick, can we
please sing "God is So Good?"
00:07:29.78\00:07:33.15
Hmm, is God good?
Yes! We can sing that then.
00:07:33.18\00:07:37.29
Ready?
00:07:41.62\00:07:45.59
Thanks Pastor Rick, we
really enjoy your company
00:08:26.80\00:08:29.70
and your music.
00:08:29.74\00:08:31.07
And we never get tired of
Dr. John's stories, do we?
00:08:31.11\00:08:35.78
He knows so many
stories, let's go and see
00:08:35.81\00:08:38.81
if he has another one for us.
00:08:38.85\00:08:40.52
Hello boys and
girls! I'm Dr. John,
00:08:41.58\00:08:43.18
and welcome to story
time, and to all the other
00:08:43.22\00:08:46.05
boys and girls, we're really
glad that you can be with us.
00:08:46.09\00:08:49.22
You know, of all the
mission stories that are about
00:08:49.26\00:08:51.63
the Pacific Islands and
lots of far places away,
00:08:51.66\00:08:55.10
but we have a mission
field here in Australia
00:08:55.13\00:08:59.13
where the cleverest people
you would ever imagine live,
00:08:59.17\00:09:03.30
and they are the Aboriginals.
00:09:03.34\00:09:04.84
And I have visited our
Aboriginals in our schools
00:09:04.87\00:09:07.64
and I love going back
because they are so smart!
00:09:07.68\00:09:11.65
I learned a
lesson from them one day.
00:09:11.68\00:09:14.12
I had my phone which was a
GPS and I went out in the bush,
00:09:14.15\00:09:18.62
and I found a tree stump
and I put a 2-dollar coin
00:09:18.65\00:09:22.62
on the tree stump and
I marked it on the GPS
00:09:22.66\00:09:25.53
and I went back to
the school at Karaundi.
00:09:25.56\00:09:28.50
And I got all the boys
and the girls and I said,
00:09:28.53\00:09:30.87
"Out there in the
bush is a 2- dollar coin,
00:09:30.90\00:09:34.74
and this is how you find
it with the GPS if you follow
00:09:34.77\00:09:38.27
the little dotted lines."
00:09:38.31\00:09:40.11
And the boys grabbed it and
they said, "Shove off girls,
00:09:40.14\00:09:43.61
this is boys' stuff -
we're going to find the money."
00:09:43.65\00:09:47.25
And they wouldn't let
them and off they went,
00:09:47.28\00:09:49.48
and the boys were all
arguing amongst themselves,
00:09:49.52\00:09:52.89
and the girls went
off and found the money!
00:09:52.92\00:09:56.26
And I said, "How did you
find the money without a GPS?"
00:09:56.29\00:09:59.23
"Sir, we just
followed your tracks!"
00:09:59.26\00:10:01.63
They are so good
at following tracks.
00:10:01.66\00:10:04.87
And this story is about
Daisy and her two friends
00:10:04.90\00:10:08.84
who lived way up in a
settlement called "Jigalong,"
00:10:08.87\00:10:13.24
past Karaundi, way
over in West Australia,
00:10:13.27\00:10:16.44
way out in the desert.
00:10:16.48\00:10:18.15
And one day, policemen came
and grabbed the three girls,
00:10:18.18\00:10:23.39
and they said, "You
are not being looked after,
00:10:23.42\00:10:26.62
you will go with us and you
will go down to a settlement
00:10:26.65\00:10:29.49
hundreds and
hundreds of kilometers away,
00:10:29.52\00:10:32.89
600 kilometers away
and there you will live,
00:10:32.93\00:10:37.23
and we will look after
you and you will grow up,
00:10:37.27\00:10:40.40
and you will never see
your family again because
00:10:40.44\00:10:42.84
they're not very good.
00:10:42.87\00:10:44.21
And these three poor girls
00:10:44.24\00:10:46.61
who were only between
8 and 14 years of age,
00:10:46.64\00:10:49.61
were put in a dormitory,
but they didn't stay long.
00:10:49.64\00:10:55.02
They were smart
Aboriginal girls!
00:10:55.05\00:10:58.12
And when no one was
looking, they sneaked out,
00:10:58.15\00:11:01.76
and they ran, and
they ran, and they ran.
00:11:01.79\00:11:05.09
And there were people
looking for them, chasing them,
00:11:05.13\00:11:08.86
but they were smarter and they
walked until they got to a fence
00:11:08.90\00:11:14.44
and they knew they had
found the rabbit-proof fence.
00:11:15.40\00:11:20.11
You see, they had built this
long fence with chicken wire
00:11:20.14\00:11:24.85
over a thousand kilometers
long, to stop the rabbits
00:11:24.88\00:11:28.82
getting into West Australia.
00:11:28.85\00:11:31.09
And they knew that if
they followed that fence
00:11:31.12\00:11:34.46
for long enough, they
would get back to Jigalong,
00:11:34.49\00:11:37.23
and away they went!
00:11:37.26\00:11:38.59
You know, here is what
Daisy might have looked like.
00:11:38.63\00:11:44.77
Quite a pretty little
girl and those Aborigines,
00:11:45.53\00:11:49.50
you know, they had weapons.
00:11:49.54\00:11:52.24
Sometimes they would
be beaten with a big stick
00:11:52.27\00:11:55.24
called a "nula nula."
00:11:55.28\00:11:57.05
And over here
we have a "woomera"
00:11:57.08\00:12:02.22
for throwing spears.
00:12:02.25\00:12:04.19
You put the spear in
there and throw it and we've
00:12:04.22\00:12:07.12
got a spear and I've
got something that I can't
00:12:07.16\00:12:10.03
let you touch
because it was only for men.
00:12:10.06\00:12:13.93
And this is
called a "bullroarer."
00:12:13.96\00:12:17.33
And these all come from
the Jigalong - they were given
00:12:17.37\00:12:21.34
to my uncle and
grandfather many years ago.
00:12:21.37\00:12:24.64
And when a girl
hears a bullroarer,
00:12:24.67\00:12:27.31
they are supposed to run away.
00:12:27.34\00:12:29.81
And you know, they tie
a string and they wear it
00:12:29.84\00:12:33.21
around their head and
it makes a roaring noise.
00:12:33.25\00:12:35.92
But those girls, they
walked for days and weeks,
00:12:35.95\00:12:41.56
and they were so determined
that they were going to get
00:12:41.59\00:12:44.73
home and nobody would stop
them and finally they got home.
00:12:44.76\00:12:50.37
And they actually made a film
about them and it is called,
00:12:50.40\00:12:54.67
"The Rabbit-Proof
Fence," and this is what
00:12:54.70\00:12:58.47
the girls look
like as they got older.
00:12:58.51\00:13:02.28
They weren't quite so
pretty because they lived out
00:13:02.31\00:13:04.78
in the sun and
they were very poor.
00:13:04.81\00:13:07.05
And one of them is still
alive, here name is "Daisy,"
00:13:07.08\00:13:11.82
and she wrote her
life story in 23 words.
00:13:11.85\00:13:18.23
That was all she could do
and she attended our school
00:13:18.26\00:13:21.56
and her children at
Wiluna which is near Karaundi
00:13:21.60\00:13:25.97
I come from Jigalong,
they took me away but I walked
00:13:26.00\00:13:30.14
all around country back to
where I was born - I came back.
00:13:30.17\00:13:34.71
That is a very moving story.
00:13:34.74\00:13:37.85
She went home and we
are captured by the devil
00:13:37.88\00:13:42.28
and we are going home
and Jesus is waiting for us.
00:13:42.32\00:13:46.05
Thank you boys and girls!
00:13:46.09\00:13:47.99
Hi boys and girls,
welcome to our Bible study!
00:13:48.29\00:13:51.29
If you haven't got
your Bibles ready yet,
00:13:51.33\00:13:53.19
go get them now so you
can read along with us.
00:13:53.23\00:13:55.66
Aunty Cecily, would you like to
00:13:55.70\00:13:57.03
say a prayer for us
please? Yes, I'd love to.
00:13:57.07\00:13:59.63
Dear Father in
Heaven... We thank You so much
00:13:59.67\00:14:02.44

We just pray that You'd

00:14:07.54\00:14:10.68
we read and give us a
heart to follow You, we pray,
00:14:10.71\00:14:14.35
and please bless all the
boys and girls at home who are
00:14:14.38\00:14:17.32
joining us. In
Jesus name... Amen, Amen!
00:14:17.35\00:14:20.89
Now Bethany, we
studied about Samuel last week,
00:14:20.92\00:14:24.36
and how he anointed
someone to be the next king,
00:14:25.36\00:14:27.10
can you remember who that was?
00:14:27.13\00:14:28.46
David... Yes it was David.
00:14:28.50\00:14:30.17
And do you know what,
today we're going to find out
00:14:30.20\00:14:32.27
what happens to David because
he gets up to some adventures.
00:14:32.30\00:14:36.04
Okay, Anna can you
please read 1 Samuel 19:1-2.
00:14:36.07\00:14:41.04
"Now Saul spoke to Jonathan
his son and to all his servants
00:14:41.08\00:14:46.21
that they should kill
David, but Jonathan, Saul's son,
00:14:46.25\00:14:49.78
delighted greatly in David.
00:14:49.82\00:14:51.85
So Jonathan told David,
saying, "My father Saul seeks to
00:14:51.89\00:14:55.36
kill you. Therefore please
be on your guard until morning,
00:14:55.39\00:14:58.96
and stay in a
secret place and hide."
00:14:58.99\00:15:01.36
So Saul is jealous of David and
his popularity with the people
00:15:01.40\00:15:06.74
that he wants him dead.
00:15:06.77\00:15:09.17
But Jonathan warns David to hide
00:15:09.20\00:15:11.57
until he can talk to his father.
00:15:11.61\00:15:13.88
So Jonathan points out to
his father, "David has done
00:15:13.91\00:15:16.95
no wrong and does
not deserve to die."
00:15:16.98\00:15:20.02
Saul listens to his
son, Jonathan, and David is
00:15:20.05\00:15:23.12
able to come back and
Saul promises not to kill him.
00:15:23.15\00:15:27.16
Okay, but something happens.
00:15:27.19\00:15:30.09
You know what, David went
out to war again and he gained
00:15:30.13\00:15:33.50
a great victory over the
Philistines; jealousy bruising
00:15:33.53\00:15:37.33
Saul's heart again
and for the second time,
00:15:37.37\00:15:40.44
Saul tries to spear David
to the wall - tries to pin him
00:15:40.47\00:15:44.64
to the wall with his spear.
00:15:44.67\00:15:46.41
Let's see where David runs to,
Caleb, you read 1 Samuel 19:18.
00:15:46.44\00:15:52.18
"So David fled and escaped
and went to Samuel at Ramah,
00:15:52.21\00:15:57.32
and told him all
that Saul had done to him.
00:15:57.35\00:16:00.86
And he and Samuel went and
stayed in Naioth. Thanks Caleb.
00:16:00.89\00:16:07.46
So David finds relief
from persecution from Saul
00:16:07.50\00:16:10.67
with Samuel.
00:16:10.70\00:16:12.03
Here, David spent quiet
communion with the prophet.
00:16:12.07\00:16:15.27
Okay, let's see
what happens next.
00:16:15.30\00:16:17.04
J. J., can you read
1 Samuel 21:1-3? Yep.
00:16:17.07\00:16:22.61
"Now David came to Nob,
to Ahimelech the priest.
00:16:23.45\00:16:28.85
And Ahimelech was afraid when
he met David, and said to him,
00:16:28.88\00:16:34.42
"Why are you alone,
and no one is with you?"
00:16:34.46\00:16:37.53
So David said to Ahimelech the
priest, "The king has ordered
00:16:37.56\00:16:42.53
me on some business, and
said to me, "Do not let anyone
00:16:42.56\00:16:49.54
know anything about the
business on which I send you,
00:16:49.57\00:16:53.61
or what I have commanded you.
00:16:53.64\00:16:57.05
And I have directed my young
men to such and such a place.
00:16:57.08\00:17:04.19
Now therefore,
what have you on hand?
00:17:04.22\00:17:06.55
Give me five loaves
of bread in my hand,
00:17:06.59\00:17:09.86
or whatever can be
found." Thanks J. J.
00:17:09.89\00:17:13.13
So did the king send
it? No, he didn't send him.
00:17:13.16\00:17:17.17
Do you know what?
David's faith is faltering.
00:17:17.20\00:17:19.47
The high priest tells
David, the only bread available
00:17:19.50\00:17:22.87
is the holy bread or the
showbread inside the tabernacle
00:17:22.90\00:17:26.61
which the priest gives him.
00:17:26.64\00:17:28.18
Do you know what? If
David had been honest
00:17:28.21\00:17:29.54
with the high priest, the priest
would have known what to do,
00:17:29.58\00:17:32.35
and perhaps a different
course would have been pursued.
00:17:32.38\00:17:35.55
Aunt Cecily, can
you read 1 Samuel 21:7.
00:17:35.58\00:17:39.39
"Now a certain man of
the servants of Saul was
00:17:39.42\00:17:42.69
there that day detained
before the Lord and his name was
00:17:42.72\00:17:47.13
Doeg, an Edomite,
the chief of the herdsmen
00:17:47.16\00:17:51.10
who belonged to Saul."
00:17:51.13\00:17:52.60
Okay, just tuck that
little bit of information away
00:17:52.63\00:17:55.27
and we'll talk about that soon.
00:17:55.30\00:17:56.64
Anna, can you please
read 1 Samuel 21:8-9.
00:17:56.67\00:18:01.74
"And David said to Ahimelech,
"Is there not here on hand
00:18:01.78\00:18:08.15
a spear or a sword? For I
have brought neither my sword
00:18:08.18\00:18:12.35
nor my weapons with
me, because the king's
00:18:12.39\00:18:14.59
business required haste."
00:18:14.62\00:18:16.96
So the priest said, "The
sword of Goliath the Philistine,
00:18:16.99\00:18:20.73
whom you killed in the
Valley of Elah, there it is,
00:18:20.76\00:18:24.33
wrapped in a
cloth behind the ephod.
00:18:24.37\00:18:26.43
If you will take that, take it.
00:18:26.47\00:18:29.20
For there is no other
except that one here."
00:18:29.24\00:18:33.54
And David said, "There is
none like it; give it to me."
00:18:33.58\00:18:38.18
So David takes
Goliath's sword and flees!
00:18:38.21\00:18:42.35
Let's look at our torch
light, Mrs. White's writings,
00:18:42.38\00:18:45.25
and Matthew,
you're going to read that,
00:18:45.29\00:18:47.32
and see what that shines on
what we've just been reading.
00:18:47.36\00:18:50.99
"As trial came upon
him, his faith was shaken and
00:18:52.93\00:18:57.30
human weakness appeared.
00:18:57.33\00:18:58.97
He saw in every man
a spy and a betrayer.
00:18:59.00\00:19:01.90
For as he had been hunted
and persecuted, perplexity and
00:19:01.94\00:19:06.44
distress had nearly hidden his
Heavenly Father from his sight.
00:19:06.47\00:19:11.18
Yet this experience was
serving to teach David wisdom;
00:19:11.21\00:19:14.52
for it led him to realize his
weakness and the necessity of
00:19:14.55\00:19:19.15
constant dependence
upon God. Thanks Matthew.
00:19:19.19\00:19:22.82
Do you know, we can learn
so much from David's mistakes
00:19:22.86\00:19:25.83
by learning to trust
God no matter how much the
00:19:25.86\00:19:29.56
world is against us.
00:19:29.60\00:19:31.73
Meanwhile, Saul is complaining
to his servants that everyone
00:19:31.77\00:19:34.77
is against him
including his son, Jonathan.
00:19:34.80\00:19:37.67
Now remember that we
read about a man named Doeg,
00:19:37.71\00:19:42.01
back in 1 Samuel 21:7-
Caleb, let's continue to read
00:19:42.04\00:19:46.35
and see what
happens. 1 Samuel 22:9-10.
00:19:46.38\00:19:49.68
"Then answered Doeg the
Edomite, who was set over
00:19:49.72\00:19:54.92
the servants of Saul, and said,
"I saw the son of Jesse going
00:19:54.96\00:19:59.56
to Nob, to
Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
00:19:59.59\00:20:06.00
And he inquired of the Lord
for him, gave him provisions
00:20:06.03\00:20:10.81
and gave him the sword
of Goliath the Philistine."
00:20:10.84\00:20:13.78
So Doeg, who because of
his ambition and cruelty,
00:20:13.81\00:20:17.08
told Saul of the incident of
the high priest helping David
00:20:17.11\00:20:20.78
with food and
giving him Goliath's sword.
00:20:20.82\00:20:23.25
Saul was enraged.
00:20:23.28\00:20:25.19
J. J., let's read
1 Samuel 22:17-18.
00:20:25.22\00:20:29.79
"Then the king said to the
guards who stood about him,
00:20:29.82\00:20:34.23
"Turn and kill the priests
of the Lord, because their hand
00:20:34.26\00:20:38.53
also is with David, and
because they knew when he fled
00:20:38.57\00:20:42.30
and did not tell it to me."
00:20:42.34\00:20:44.17
But the servants of the
king would not lift their
00:20:44.21\00:20:47.11
hands to strike the
priests of the Lord.
00:20:47.14\00:20:50.68
And the king said to
Doeg, "You turn and kill the
00:20:50.71\00:20:55.78
priests!" So Doeg the
Edomite turned and struck
00:20:55.82\00:21:00.09
the priests, and
killed on that day,
00:21:00.12\00:21:03.99
85 men who wore a linen ephod."
00:21:04.03\00:21:09.80
Umm, a linen ephod,
yes. Thank you J. J.
00:21:09.83\00:21:13.60
It's interesting that
even Saul's own servants
00:21:13.64\00:21:16.71
wouldn't do this terrible act!
00:21:16.74\00:21:18.97
All of Israel was horrified
that a king they insisted
00:21:19.01\00:21:22.61
on having, because they
wanted to be like other nations,
00:21:22.64\00:21:26.05
would do such a thing.
00:21:26.08\00:21:27.72
Okay, Aunt Cecily, 1
Samuel 23:14 and 16-18,
00:21:27.75\00:21:33.69
can you read that please.
00:21:33.72\00:21:35.72
"And David stayed in
strongholds in the wilderness
00:21:35.76\00:21:39.03
and remained in the mountains
in the Wilderness of Ziph.
00:21:39.06\00:21:42.80
Saul sought him every day,
but God did not deliver him
00:21:42.83\00:21:47.20
into his hand.
00:21:47.24\00:21:48.97
Then Jonathan, Saul's
son, arose and went to David
00:21:49.00\00:21:52.67
in the woods and
strengthened his hand in God.
00:21:52.71\00:21:55.58
And he said to him, "Do
not fear, for the hand of Saul
00:21:55.61\00:21:59.75
my father shall not find you.
00:21:59.78\00:22:01.65
You shall be king over Israel,
and I shall be next to you.
00:22:01.68\00:22:07.09
Even my father Saul knows that."
00:22:07.12\00:22:10.09
So the two of them made
a covenant before the Lord.
00:22:10.13\00:22:13.13
And David stayed in the woods,
00:22:13.16\00:22:15.23
and Jonathan went
to his own house."
00:22:15.26\00:22:18.13
Umm, so Jonathan
came and encouraged David,
00:22:18.17\00:22:22.40
and they spent time together
communing as good friends.
00:22:22.44\00:22:25.94
Anna, can you please
read 1 Samuel 24:2-4.
00:22:25.97\00:22:31.08
"Then Saul took 3,000
chosen men from all Israel
00:22:31.11\00:22:35.22
and went to seek David and his
00:22:35.25\00:22:37.32
men on the rocks
of the wild goats.
00:22:37.35\00:22:40.12
So he came to the sheepfolds
by the road, where there was a
00:22:40.16\00:22:43.86
cave; and Saul went in
to attend to his needs.
00:22:43.89\00:22:46.83
David and his men were staying
in the recesses of the cave.
00:22:46.86\00:22:50.90
Then the men of
David said to him,
00:22:50.93\00:22:54.00
"This is the day of
which the Lord said to you,
00:22:54.04\00:22:56.81
"Behold, I will deliver
your enemy into your hand,
00:22:56.84\00:22:59.67
that you may do to him
as it seems good to you."
00:22:59.71\00:23:03.01
And David arose and secretly
cut off a corner of Saul's robe.
00:23:03.04\00:23:07.68
So David had an opportunity
to kill Saul and is encouraged
00:23:07.72\00:23:12.85
by his men to do so.
00:23:12.89\00:23:14.39
But all David did was cut
off a little corner of his robe.
00:23:14.42\00:23:18.96
Do you know even
though David had been greatly
00:23:18.99\00:23:21.03
persecuted by Saul, he was
anointed by God to be king.
00:23:21.06\00:23:25.57
David decided that he
was not going to be the one
00:23:25.60\00:23:28.40
to take his life.
00:23:28.44\00:23:29.90
David comes out of the
cave, after Saul leaves,
00:23:29.94\00:23:32.71
and speaks to him.
00:23:32.74\00:23:34.08
Bethany, can you read
1 Samuel 24:16-17 and 20.
00:23:34.11\00:23:38.55
"So it was, when David had
finished speaking these words
00:23:38.58\00:23:41.65
to Saul, that Saul said,
"Is this your voice, my son
00:23:41.68\00:23:44.82
David?" And Saul
lifted up his voice and wept.
00:23:44.85\00:23:47.72
Then he said to David,
"You are more righteous than I;
00:23:47.76\00:23:50.83
for you have rewarded me
with good, whereas I have
00:23:50.86\00:23:53.80
rewarded you with evil.
00:23:53.83\00:23:55.30
And now I know indeed
that you shall surely be king,
00:23:55.33\00:23:58.67
and that the
kingdom of Israel shall be
00:23:58.70\00:24:03.77
established in your hand."
00:24:03.81\00:24:05.71
So Saul was humbled by
this act and realizes and admits
00:24:05.74\00:24:09.11
that God has indeed
anointed him as the next king.
00:24:09.14\00:24:12.58
Kate, can you
please read 1 Samuel 25:1.
00:24:12.61\00:24:17.59
"Then Samuel died and
the Israelites gathered
00:24:17.62\00:24:20.89
together and lamented
for him and buried him
00:24:20.92\00:24:24.26
at his home in Ramah.
00:24:24.29\00:24:25.99
And David arose and went down
to the wilderness of Paran."
00:24:26.03\00:24:31.43
Thanks Kate.
00:24:31.47\00:24:32.80
So it wasn't until Samuel
died did the Israelites realize
00:24:32.83\00:24:36.40
their folly in wanting a king
to rule them instead of Samuel.
00:24:36.44\00:24:40.11
It was Samuel who had taught
them to love and obey God.
00:24:40.14\00:24:43.58
Saul was now ruling with madness
and strife and confusion.
00:24:43.61\00:24:47.78
Saul had become selfish and was
only looking out for himself,
00:24:47.82\00:24:52.42
not the well-being of his nation
and their relationship with God.
00:24:52.45\00:24:56.89
Samuel was a
great loss to Israel.
00:24:56.93\00:24:59.43
Let's read our memory
verse together in Micah 6:8.
00:24:59.46\00:25:04.53
Are you ready?
00:25:06.27\00:25:07.60
Do you think that
sums up Samuel's life? Yes.
00:25:20.02\00:25:22.52
Yes, I think it does and we can
claim this for our life as well
00:25:22.55\00:25:26.19
so we can be a
blessing to others.
00:25:26.22\00:25:28.46

Aunty Nat, can you
tell us what we're going
00:26:10.20\00:26:11.90
to be studying next week?
00:26:11.93\00:26:13.67
Yes, next week you have to
come back because everything
00:26:13.70\00:26:16.87
is about crowns and it's
going to be really exciting!
00:26:16.91\00:26:20.91
Aunt Cecily, shall we go
over our memory verse? Yes.
00:26:20.94\00:26:24.25
Let's read this together
boys and girls... Micah 6:8:
00:26:24.28\00:26:29.45
Aunty Nat, another
worship time is almost over.
00:26:40.36\00:26:44.03
I can't believe
it's gone by so quickly.
00:26:44.07\00:26:47.77
Amber, what did you
learn in our worship today?
00:26:47.80\00:26:50.44
That the animals will
not hurt us in heaven.
00:26:50.47\00:26:52.97
Oh yes, heaven will be a
very safe place and Jesus,
00:26:53.01\00:26:57.71
our Forever Friend,
will be with us always.
00:26:57.75\00:27:01.35
Is it time for our
blessing song Aunty Cecily?
00:27:01.38\00:27:03.79
It certainly is Kate!
00:27:03.82\00:27:05.75
You ready boys and girls?
00:27:05.79\00:27:07.79
Let's turn around and
sing to our friends at home.
00:27:07.82\00:27:11.73
May God bless you and keep you,
00:27:15.83\00:27:21.20
and fill your heart with love.
00:27:21.24\00:27:26.27
May God guide and protect you,
00:27:26.31\00:27:31.35
and watch you from above.
00:27:31.38\00:27:36.69
As Sabbath after Sabbath
00:27:36.72\00:27:41.66
we greet the Day of Rest.
00:27:41.69\00:27:46.73
The Day the King of Glory
00:27:46.76\00:27:51.77
has sanctified and blessed.
00:27:51.93\00:27:56.91
Goodbye my
friend, till we meet again
00:27:56.94\00:28:02.44
for another Day with the King.
00:28:02.48\00:28:07.95
Goodbye! See you next Sabbath!
00:28:07.98\00:28:11.49
I can't wait to get to heaven
00:28:20.80\00:28:22.53
because I can
hang out with Jesus.
00:28:22.56\00:28:24.47
I can't wait to get to heaven
00:28:30.21\00:28:31.57
so I can see
God's wonderful nature.
