Hello there! Happy Sabbath!
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
Come on in, we're
about to meet with the King!
00:00:02.73\00:00:06.03
Hello, I'm Aunty Nat
and I'm Aunty Cecily.
00:00:53.08\00:00:56.58
And all of us here are so
glad that you have come back
00:00:56.62\00:00:59.15
to worship the
King. Aren't we kids? Yes!
00:00:59.19\00:01:02.69
Aunty Nat, tell
all the kids at home
00:01:02.72\00:01:04.39
why we're wearing crowns today.
00:01:04.43\00:01:05.83
Oh thanks Ben for reminding me.
00:01:05.86\00:01:07.30
I almost forgot,
it's a crown day!
00:01:07.33\00:01:10.00
Boys and girls,
today we're going to talk
00:01:10.03\00:01:11.90
and sing about
crowns, so it's a special
00:01:11.93\00:01:14.24
Sabbath worship program.
00:01:14.27\00:01:15.87
Can you remind me who
else I need to say "Hello" to?
00:01:15.90\00:01:18.81
Yes, it's Teddy! Oh
Teddy, you've brought a
00:01:18.84\00:01:22.34
friend - what's
her name? It's Lilly!
00:01:22.38\00:01:25.78
Oh look, so it is, it's Lilly!
00:01:25.81\00:01:28.48
Do you know what boys
and girls, this is Lilly's
00:01:28.52\00:01:30.45
first time, so you
need to let me know
00:01:30.49\00:01:32.62
that she behaves herself.
00:01:32.65\00:01:34.06
Aunt Cecily, can you
please say a prayer for us.
00:01:34.09\00:01:37.96
Dear Father in
Heaven, we thank You so much
00:01:37.99\00:01:40.90
that we can come
together and open the Sabbath
00:01:40.93\00:01:44.00
and to worship You.
00:01:44.03\00:01:45.63
We pray that You would
touch the hearts of all the
00:01:45.67\00:01:48.44
girls and boys around the world
who are joining us at this time.
00:01:48.47\00:01:52.17
In Jesus name... Amen,
Amen! Thanks Aunty Cecily.
00:01:52.21\00:01:56.34
How has your week been?
Has God blessed you this week?
00:01:56.38\00:01:59.85
Think about what God has
provided for you this past week.
00:01:59.88\00:02:03.08
When we really think about it,
00:02:03.12\00:02:04.49
we can find
something to be thankful for.
00:02:04.52\00:02:06.92
What do you think Aunty Cecily?
00:02:06.96\00:02:08.56
Yes, just stopping, you
know, to count our blessings
00:02:08.59\00:02:12.59
from God can just
change our focus in life,
00:02:12.63\00:02:15.70
and help us to
want to bless others.
00:02:15.73\00:02:17.93
Yes I agree.
Let's have a look at our
00:02:17.97\00:02:20.04
blessing box now to
see what we can do to
00:02:20.07\00:02:22.24
bless someone
else on the Sabbath.
00:02:22.27\00:02:23.67
Matthew, you're going
to read our blessing today.
00:02:23.71\00:02:25.61
Can you read that to
the children at home.
00:02:25.64\00:02:28.04
"Read the Bible to someone!"
00:02:28.08\00:02:29.88
Aww, that's a good idea!
00:02:29.91\00:02:31.38
That would be especially good
for someone who couldn't read.
00:02:31.41\00:02:34.85
Can you think of someone
who you could read the Bible to?
00:02:34.88\00:02:37.95
Do you have any ideas, Matthew,
00:02:37.99\00:02:39.49
who you could read the Bible to?
00:02:39.52\00:02:41.19
Someone in the nursing home.
00:02:41.22\00:02:42.92
Oh, I think that would
be a lovely idea Matthew.
00:02:42.96\00:02:45.23
And it's such a great way that
00:02:45.26\00:02:46.83
we can share
Jesus' love to them.
00:02:46.86\00:02:48.93
I think they
would be very blessed.
00:02:48.96\00:02:50.87
Aunt Cecily, I know you have
a blessing to share with us,
00:02:50.90\00:02:53.37
and we have been SO
blessed by all the things
00:02:53.40\00:02:56.04
you've been telling us
about the second coming.
00:02:56.07\00:02:58.14
Yes, we've been on an amazing
journey these past weeks,
00:02:58.17\00:03:02.74
haven't we - learning
about Jesus' second coming.
00:03:02.78\00:03:06.92
We've learned about the
place Jesus has prepared for us
00:03:06.95\00:03:10.32
in heaven and how we can prepare
our hearts for His return.
00:03:10.35\00:03:15.09
And we've learned that
His coming will be a noisy
00:03:15.12\00:03:17.96
worldwide event -
no one will miss it!
00:03:17.99\00:03:21.63
We're not to be afraid
because Jesus will keep us safe.
00:03:21.66\00:03:26.57
Jesus will resurrect the dead
who loved and believed in Him.
00:03:26.60\00:03:30.37
And those of us alive
will be able to meet the
00:03:30.41\00:03:33.88
Lord in the air!
00:03:33.91\00:03:35.84
We also spoke about
Satan's attempt to deceive us
00:03:35.88\00:03:39.61
when he impersonates Jesus.
00:03:39.65\00:03:42.75
Don't be tricked by him,
as Jesus will not touch the
00:03:42.78\00:03:46.99
ground when He returns.
00:03:47.02\00:03:49.12
Also, we don't know the hour
or the day of Jesus' return,
00:03:49.16\00:03:53.96
only God the Father knows
that, so don't be deceived
00:03:54.00\00:03:57.47
by people predicting
a time for His return.
00:03:57.50\00:04:01.30
We also discovered that the
Tree of Life, which was in the
00:04:01.34\00:04:04.57
Garden of Eden, will be in
heaven, so we will be able to
00:04:04.61\00:04:09.31
eat from it and live eternally
with our best friend, Jesus.
00:04:09.34\00:04:13.98
He loves us so much that
He's going to give us a new body
00:04:14.02\00:04:18.12
free from the effects of sin.
00:04:18.15\00:04:20.46
Also, heaven will be
free from sadness and pain.
00:04:20.49\00:04:25.03
Heaven will be a perfect
happy and safe place to be.
00:04:25.06\00:04:29.90
Today, I want to
talk to you about crowns,
00:04:29.93\00:04:33.67
just as we are going to
talk about a crown in our Bible
00:04:33.70\00:04:37.04
study, so Jesus will
place a crown on our heads
00:04:37.07\00:04:41.11
when we enter heaven.
00:04:41.14\00:04:43.08
James 1:12 says,
"Blessed is the man who endures
00:04:43.11\00:04:48.08
temptation for when
he has been approved,
00:04:48.12\00:04:51.75
he will receive the crown
of life which the Lord has
00:04:51.79\00:04:55.46
promised to those who love Him.
00:04:55.49\00:04:58.13
What a beautiful promise!
00:04:58.16\00:05:01.53
Jesus longs to place
a crown on your head,
00:05:01.56\00:05:05.63
so turn your heart to Him
and believe in God's promises.
00:05:05.67\00:05:10.27
Aww, thanks Aunty
Cecily, those were beautiful
00:05:10.31\00:05:12.74
pictures, weren't they?
00:05:12.77\00:05:14.11
Won't it be lovely when
Jesus places those crowns
00:05:14.14\00:05:17.35
on our heads?
00:05:17.38\00:05:18.71
They'll be more beautiful
than the ones that we have on.
00:05:18.75\00:05:21.05
You know what, I can see
that Pastor Rick has snuck in
00:05:21.08\00:05:24.12
while we've been
talking about that.
00:05:24.15\00:05:26.05
Thanks so much, Pastor
Rick, for coming and joining
00:05:26.09\00:05:28.79
us in our worship time.
00:05:28.82\00:05:30.16
Lovely to be here and,
looking out at you all,
00:05:30.19\00:05:33.76
what's with the
crowns? Is it a crown day? Yes!
00:05:33.80\00:05:37.70
A special day about learning
about crowns - how good is that!
00:05:37.73\00:05:40.80
Well there's a special
song called, "Will There Be Any
00:05:40.84\00:05:43.71
Stars in My Crown,"
let's sing this one together.
00:05:43.74\00:05:48.11
Pastor Rick, can we please
sing, "I Will Wear a Crown?"
00:06:33.15\00:06:36.66
I think that's a really
good song to sing seeing
00:06:36.69\00:06:38.63
everyone has
their lovely crowns on.
00:06:38.66\00:06:41.03
Jesus is going
to give us a crown,
00:06:41.06\00:06:42.96
why don't we sing about that?
00:06:43.00\00:06:45.73
Sing it again!
00:07:04.52\00:07:05.85
Pastor Rick, can we please sing,
"Give Your Heart to Jesus?"
00:07:28.54\00:07:32.55
Yeah, I think that's
a great song to sing,
00:07:32.58\00:07:35.02
but before we sing
it, I'm just thinking...
00:07:35.05\00:07:37.92
about the title of that
song and how beautiful a title
00:07:37.95\00:07:41.22
that is because all the
music we've been singing and
00:07:41.26\00:07:43.93
everyone who has been watching,
00:07:43.96\00:07:45.29
it's all about
giving our heart to Jesus.
00:07:45.33\00:07:48.00
That's where we're
coming to and this song
00:07:48.03\00:07:50.33
is a great way to
finish that, so let's sing this
00:07:50.37\00:07:53.10
beautiful song, we're
going to sing it through twice.
00:07:53.13\00:07:55.34
"Give Your Heart to Jesus."
00:07:55.37\00:07:57.21
And once more...
00:08:30.34\00:08:33.81
Thanks Pastor Rick!
00:09:08.61\00:09:09.94
Singing praises to God
is just a lovely way to
00:09:09.98\00:09:12.75
tell Him that we love Him.
00:09:12.78\00:09:14.75
Are you enjoying Dr.
John's stories each week? Yes!
00:09:14.78\00:09:20.46
Well I wonder what he has
in store for us this time.
00:09:20.49\00:09:23.59
Let's go and see...
00:09:23.63\00:09:24.96
Hello boys and girls,
I'm Dr. John and welcome
00:09:26.29\00:09:28.80
to story time!
00:09:28.83\00:09:30.43
And all the other boys
and girls who are watching,
00:09:30.47\00:09:32.63
thank you so much
for being with us today.
00:09:32.67\00:09:36.04
I want to tell you
the story of Colin Winch.
00:09:36.07\00:09:38.94
You know, a lot of the
business stories have been about
00:09:38.97\00:09:41.74
boats, but as we came into
the 20th and the 21st century,
00:09:41.78\00:09:46.72
we discovered that it was
much quicker and more efficient
00:09:46.75\00:09:51.19
to use an airplane.
00:09:51.22\00:09:53.09
And this is the plane that
was our first mission plane;
00:09:53.12\00:09:58.09
in fact, its number was VH,
which is the Australian number,
00:09:58.13\00:10:03.77
SDA, Seventh-day Adventist.
00:10:03.80\00:10:07.20
And this plane, this is
just a model, was seen all over
00:10:07.24\00:10:11.07
New Guinea and Colin was
training to be a nurse and he
00:10:11.11\00:10:15.61
really wanted to be pilot.
00:10:15.64\00:10:17.61
More than a pilot, he
couldn't afford to buy a plane,
00:10:17.65\00:10:23.12
so he built one!
00:10:23.15\00:10:25.42
He got bits of timber and
bits of canvas and in a garage
00:10:25.45\00:10:30.99
he started to make this plane.
00:10:31.03\00:10:33.33
Can you see the motor?
00:10:33.36\00:10:35.50
He couldn't afford a motor.
00:10:35.53\00:10:37.03
This will just be a glider.
00:10:37.07\00:10:40.27
Well, he had his friend,
Doug, and they didn't know
00:10:40.30\00:10:43.71
who was going to
fly it, but Doug won.
00:10:43.74\00:10:46.37
He was a bit fatter than
Colin and he squeezed in,
00:10:46.41\00:10:50.05
and the plane
didn't fly very well.
00:10:50.08\00:10:52.71
Then it was Colin's
turn; he got on the plane
00:10:52.75\00:10:55.78
and they it behind a car
and the car had to race across
00:10:55.82\00:11:00.56
the paddock, hopefully the
plane would get into the air.
00:11:00.59\00:11:04.86
But, you know, the plane
was very cheap and the wheels
00:11:04.89\00:11:08.33
are off and old pram and as it
was racing across the paddock,
00:11:08.36\00:11:14.14
not flying, it hit the concrete
edge of a cricket pitch,
00:11:14.17\00:11:19.64
and the wheels came
off, and for one second
00:11:19.67\00:11:24.28
the plane flew far off
the ground and crashed.
00:11:24.31\00:11:29.58
Well, they were not going
to give up and so at this time
00:11:29.62\00:11:33.05
they said, "We will fly
it without anybody in it,
00:11:33.09\00:11:36.66
and we will just
tow it behind the car.
00:11:36.69\00:11:39.86
And the car took off and around
it went - it was flying because
00:11:39.89\00:11:45.77
when they tried to do it before,
the driver of the car was
00:11:45.80\00:11:49.04
playing around and he
ran over some fresh cow poop,
00:11:49.07\00:11:54.21
and it flew up
all over the pilots.
00:11:54.24\00:11:57.41
So now they were flying it
without a pilot and when the
00:11:57.45\00:12:00.72
plane got into the air, it was
flying around following the car,
00:12:00.75\00:12:04.95
but they didn't know
how to stop the plane.
00:12:04.99\00:12:07.92
Every time the car slowed
down, the plan was about to
00:12:07.96\00:12:11.73
crash into the back of
the car, so he had to drive
00:12:11.76\00:12:14.20
fast again and
finally he thought...
00:12:14.23\00:12:16.13
"The only way I can
save my car is to swing wide
00:12:16.16\00:12:20.00
by this tree and let
the tree stop the plane."
00:12:20.04\00:12:24.41
And that wasn't very
good for the plane and smash,
00:12:24.44\00:12:29.31
and Colin had no plane,
but you know, when he left
00:12:29.34\00:12:34.68
and graduated as a
nurse, he went up to New Guinea
00:12:34.72\00:12:38.82
and there is "The Andrew
Stewart VHSDA," and he became
00:12:38.85\00:12:45.23
such a good pilot, he was
known as the "Textbook Pilot."
00:12:45.26\00:12:51.07
He did everything so carefully
and he would fly into these
00:12:51.10\00:12:56.94
villages and they used
to do something special.
00:12:56.97\00:13:00.71
Sometimes if there
was no landing spot,
00:13:00.74\00:13:04.91
they would drop a bag out of
00:13:04.95\00:13:07.92
the airplane door -
they took the door off.
00:13:07.95\00:13:10.99
And they would drop this
off and drop-master, he was
00:13:11.02\00:13:14.16
very good at it and one day
they were going to a village
00:13:14.19\00:13:19.56
just like this and he flew
over and there's the plane,
00:13:19.59\00:13:24.67
and it's about to drop a
bag, but there was a boy in the
00:13:24.70\00:13:28.04
village - a big strong boy,
and he had a girlfriend and he
00:13:28.07\00:13:33.64
wanted to
impress his girlfriend.
00:13:33.68\00:13:35.94
And so he looked at the plane
coming over and just as they
00:13:35.98\00:13:40.05
threw the big bag out, it
was heavy, "I'll show them
00:13:40.08\00:13:44.75
how strong I am and
I'll impress my girlfriend."
00:13:44.79\00:13:47.99
And he raced out into the
middle and he saw the bag coming
00:13:48.02\00:13:52.03
down - he caught it alright.
00:13:52.06\00:13:56.26
He caught it right in the
chest and it knocked him flat!
00:13:56.30\00:14:00.74
It knocked him out; he
had no wind in his body,
00:14:00.77\00:14:03.71
and they came and they
pumped his arms and his legs,
00:14:03.74\00:14:06.17
"gasping hard" and
finally he started to breathe.
00:14:06.21\00:14:09.84
I don't know how impressed
his girlfriend was because
00:14:09.88\00:14:12.25
everybody was laughing
at him and he never, ever
00:14:12.28\00:14:15.92
tried to catch it again!
00:14:15.95\00:14:18.25
You know "The Andrew
Stewart" is no longer flying,
00:14:18.29\00:14:20.89
but it still flies in this model
because it is a weathervane.
00:14:20.92\00:14:24.56
And every time the wind
blows, it follows the wind,
00:14:24.59\00:14:28.43
and that is all that is
left of "The Andrew Stewart."
00:14:28.46\00:14:31.33
Thank you boys
and girls. Goodbye.
00:14:31.37\00:14:34.07
Hi boys and girls,
welcome to our Bible study.
00:14:34.50\00:14:37.17
If you haven't got
your Bibles ready yet,
00:14:37.21\00:14:39.21
go get them now so you
can follow along with us.
00:14:39.24\00:14:41.64
Aunty Cecily, would
you like to say a prayer
00:14:41.68\00:14:43.48
to open our study today? Yes.
00:14:43.51\00:14:45.65
Dear Father in Heaven...
Thank You so much for Your Son,
00:14:45.68\00:14:49.32
Jesus and all that
You have done for us.
00:14:49.35\00:14:52.02
And we pray that as
we read Your Holy Word,
00:14:52.05\00:14:55.19
that you would put it in
our hearts to want to follow
00:14:55.22\00:14:58.69
everything that You want us to.
00:14:58.73\00:15:01.40
Please bless the
children at home and may we all
00:15:01.43\00:15:04.43
give our hearts to You.
In Jesus name... Amen, Amen!
00:15:04.47\00:15:09.14
Now Anna, last
Sabbath we studied about a man
00:15:09.17\00:15:11.94
who was on the run from
King Saul, who was that?
00:15:11.97\00:15:14.68
David! Yes, it
was David, and why
00:15:14.71\00:15:17.21
was David on the run?
00:15:17.25\00:15:18.71
Because Saul wanted to
kill him. Yes, that's right.
00:15:18.75\00:15:21.65
Today, we're going to
see what happens to David.
00:15:21.68\00:15:24.02
So Anna, would you like to
please read 1 Samuel 26:1-2.
00:15:24.05\00:15:28.86
"Now the Ziphites
came to Saul at Gibeah,
00:15:30.83\00:15:33.73
saying, "Is David
not hiding in the hill of
00:15:33.76\00:15:36.33
Hachilah, opposite Jeshimon?"
00:15:36.36\00:15:41.50
Then Saul arose and went
down to the Wilderness of Ziph,
00:15:41.54\00:15:45.21
having 3,000 chosen
men of Israel with him,
00:15:45.24\00:15:49.44
to seek David in the Wilderness
of Ziph." Thanks Anna.
00:15:49.48\00:15:53.92
So the Ziphites informed
Saul of David's whereabouts,
00:15:53.95\00:15:58.39
and Saul's jealous heart
rose again and he decided to
00:15:58.42\00:16:03.26
go after to David.
00:16:03.29\00:16:04.63
Now David finds out where
Saul and his army are camping.
00:16:04.66\00:16:08.10
Matthew, can you
please read 1 Samuel 26:7-8.
00:16:08.13\00:16:15.70
So David and Abishai came to
the people by night; and there
00:16:15.74\00:16:20.64
Saul lay sleeping
within the camp, with his spear
00:16:20.68\00:16:23.65
stuck in the ground by his head.
00:16:23.68\00:16:25.45
And Abner and the
people lay all around him.
00:16:25.48\00:16:28.72
Then Abishai said to
David, "God has delivered your
00:16:28.75\00:16:32.22
enemy into your hand this day.
00:16:32.25\00:16:34.09
Now therefore, please,
let me strike him at once
00:16:34.12\00:16:36.62
with the spear,
right to the earth;
00:16:36.66\00:16:38.69
and I will not have to
strike him a second time!"
00:16:38.73\00:16:41.36
So here David is being given
a second opportunity to take
00:16:41.40\00:16:44.80
Saul's life - David
refuses to kill Saul.
00:16:44.83\00:16:48.20
Even though David was
also anointed to be king,
00:16:48.24\00:16:51.71
he wanted to leave the
whole matter in God's hands.
00:16:51.74\00:16:55.14
But you know what? While
Saul was spending so much
00:16:55.18\00:16:58.51
time chasing David, he neglected
00:16:58.55\00:17:01.85
his
responsibilities to his nation.
00:17:01.88\00:17:04.85
The Philistines took
advantage of this and they
00:17:04.89\00:17:07.82
infiltrated Israel.
Let's see what happens.
00:17:07.86\00:17:11.19
Aunt Cecily, can you
please read 1 Samuel 28:5-6.
00:17:11.23\00:17:16.43
"When Saul saw the army of
the Philistines, he was afraid,
00:17:16.46\00:17:21.10
and his heart trembled greatly.
00:17:21.14\00:17:23.74
And when Saul inquired of the
Lord, the Lord did not answer
00:17:23.77\00:17:28.28
him, either by dreams or
by Urim or by the prophets."
00:17:28.31\00:17:33.72
So Saul was very fearful
and he inquired of God as to
00:17:33.75\00:17:38.25
what to do, but
God didn't answer him.
00:17:38.29\00:17:40.89
Saul went and consulted a witch.
00:17:40.92\00:17:43.76
Now when Samuel was
alive, he and Saul had driven
00:17:43.79\00:17:46.86
out all the witches
and wizards from the land.
00:17:46.90\00:17:49.56
Now this witch had been living
in secret because she didn't
00:17:49.60\00:17:53.34
want anyone to
know that she was there.
00:17:53.37\00:17:57.17
Saul went in disguise and
the witch was also worried
00:17:57.21\00:18:01.11
about her life. Let's
see what Saul says to her.
00:18:01.14\00:18:03.65
Matthew, can you
please read 1 Samuel 28:10-14.
00:18:03.68\00:18:10.22
"And Saul swore to
her by the Lord, saying,
00:18:10.25\00:18:12.82
"As the Lord lives,
no punishment shall come
00:18:12.85\00:18:15.19
upon you for this thing."
00:18:15.22\00:18:16.69
Then the woman said,
"Whom shall I bring up for you?"
00:18:16.73\00:18:19.39
And he said,
"Bring up Samuel for me."
00:18:19.43\00:18:21.76
When the woman saw Samuel,
she cried out with a loud voice.
00:18:21.80\00:18:25.13
And the woman spoke to
Saul, saying, "Why have you
00:18:25.17\00:18:28.10
deceived me? For you are Saul."
00:18:28.14\00:18:30.44
And the king said to
her, "Do not be afraid.
00:18:30.47\00:18:32.97
What did you see?"
00:18:33.01\00:18:34.68
And the woman said to
Saul, "I saw a spirit ascending
00:18:34.71\00:18:38.31
out of the earth."
00:18:38.35\00:18:40.08
So he said to her,
"What is his form?"
00:18:40.12\00:18:42.58
And she said, "An old
man is coming up and he is
00:18:42.62\00:18:45.45
covered with a mantle."
00:18:45.49\00:18:46.82
And Saul perceived that
it was Samuel, and he stooped
00:18:46.86\00:18:51.76
with his face to the ground
and bowed down." Thanks Matthew.
00:18:51.79\00:18:55.80
Now does a witch have a power
00:18:55.83\00:18:57.17
to raise someone
from the dead? No.
00:18:57.20\00:18:59.83
No, only God can do that.
00:18:59.87\00:19:01.70
Do you know, he was our
original Creator and He is
00:19:01.74\00:19:04.71
the only One
that can re-create us.
00:19:04.74\00:19:07.28
So who was responsible for
the spirit that came up? Satan.
00:19:07.31\00:19:11.78
Yeah, Satan was
impersonating Samuel.
00:19:11.81\00:19:14.62
Let's look at our Bibles to
check out a couple of things.
00:19:14.65\00:19:17.69
Bethany, can you please
read Ecclesiastes 9:5-6.
00:19:17.72\00:19:24.23
"For the living
know that they will die,
00:19:25.66\00:19:28.20
but the dead know nothing
and they have no more reward,
00:19:28.23\00:19:31.47
for the memory of
them is forgotten.
00:19:31.50\00:19:33.70
Also their love, their
hatred, and their envy have now
00:19:33.74\00:19:36.94
perished. Nevermore will
they have a share in anything
00:19:36.97\00:19:42.08
done under the sun."
00:19:42.11\00:19:43.65
So the Bible is telling us that
when we die, you know nothing.
00:19:43.68\00:19:48.02
Everything in your
mind ceases to exist.
00:19:48.05\00:19:51.05
So that means the
dead cannot speak to us.
00:19:51.09\00:19:54.49
Kate, can you
please read John 11:11-14.
00:19:54.52\00:20:00.53
"These things he said and
after that, he said to them,
00:20:06.17\00:20:09.60
"Our friend Lazarus sleeps,
but I go that I may wake him up.
00:20:09.64\00:20:12.81
Then His disciples said, "Lord,
if he sleeps, he will get well."
00:20:14.21\00:20:18.41
However, Jesus spoke of his
death, but they thought that
00:20:18.45\00:20:22.38
He was speaking about
taking a rest in sleep.
00:20:22.42\00:20:25.25
Then Jesus said to them
plainly, "Lazarus is dead."
00:20:25.29\00:20:29.69
So Jesus is explaining
that death is a sleep.
00:20:29.72\00:20:32.63
Caleb, can you
please read Job 7:9-10.
00:20:32.66\00:20:39.60
"As the cloud
disappears and vanishes away,
00:20:40.70\00:20:44.34
so he who goes down to
the grave does not come up.
00:20:44.37\00:20:48.41
He shall never
return to his house,
00:20:48.44\00:20:51.18
nor shall his place know
him anymore." Thanks Caleb.
00:20:51.21\00:20:55.78
So this is telling
us that once you die,
00:20:55.82\00:20:58.12
the grave is where you stay;
you don't go anywhere else.
00:20:58.15\00:21:02.16
Do we stay asleep forever? No!
00:21:02.19\00:21:06.09
Let's look at our memory verse
today and read it together.
00:21:06.13\00:21:08.83
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18.
00:21:08.86\00:21:13.37
This one is a
long one, you ready?
00:21:13.40\00:21:17.04
Wow! What a great
promise! God is so good!
00:21:50.51\00:21:53.94
Now let's get back to our story!
00:21:53.98\00:21:56.34
Saul and his sons
perished on the battlefield.
00:21:56.38\00:21:59.11
We are now going to
go over to 2 Samuel,
00:21:59.15\00:22:01.98
and we are going to
read what happens when David
00:22:02.02\00:22:04.72
finds out this news.
00:22:04.75\00:22:06.09
David in his
response to this tragedy,
00:22:06.12\00:22:08.59
composes a song on his harp.
00:22:08.62\00:22:10.56
Matthew, can you read
the last three verses of
00:22:10.59\00:22:13.19
that for us in 2 Samuel 1:25-26.
00:22:13.23\00:22:18.10
"How the mighty have fallen
in the midst of the battle.
00:22:18.13\00:22:21.84
Jonathan was slain
in your high places.
00:22:21.87\00:22:24.41
I am distressed for
you, my brother Jonathan.
00:22:24.44\00:22:27.58
You have been
very pleasant to me.
00:22:27.61\00:22:29.88
Your love to me was
wonderful, surpassing
00:22:29.91\00:22:32.35
the love of
women." Thanks Matthew.
00:22:32.38\00:22:34.88
So David valued his
special friendship with Jonathan
00:22:34.92\00:22:38.29
even above the friendship and
00:22:38.32\00:22:39.99
the
companionship of his own wives.
00:22:40.02\00:22:42.62
Let's look at our torch
light, Mrs. White's writings,
00:22:42.66\00:22:45.03
to see what shines
on that verse for us.
00:22:45.06\00:22:47.56
Kate, can you
please read that for us.
00:22:47.60\00:22:49.23
This is a very special verse.
00:22:49.26\00:22:52.03
"Jonathan, by birth heir to
the throne, yet knowing himself
00:22:58.11\00:23:01.81
set aside by the divine
decree; to his rival the most
00:23:01.84\00:23:05.21
tender and faithful of
friends, shielding David's life
00:23:05.25\00:23:08.52
at the peril of his own;
steadfast at his father's side
00:23:08.55\00:23:12.05
through the dark days of his
declining power and at his side
00:23:12.09\00:23:16.06
- falling at the last, the
name of Jonathan is treasured in
00:23:16.09\00:23:19.73
heaven and it stands on
earth a witness to the existence
00:23:19.76\00:23:24.47
and the power
of unselfish love."
00:23:24.50\00:23:26.90
Aww, thanks Kate.
00:23:26.94\00:23:28.47
You know, Jonathan was
a faithful and godly man,
00:23:28.50\00:23:31.34
and realized that David
was of the rightful person
00:23:31.37\00:23:34.78
next in line to the throne.
00:23:34.81\00:23:36.68
Do you know what?
God orchestrated David
00:23:36.71\00:23:38.88
and Jonathan's friendship so
they could support one another
00:23:38.91\00:23:42.45
through those very
turbulent and stressful years.
00:23:42.48\00:23:46.25
Now David was led by God
to go up to the city of Hebron
00:23:46.29\00:23:49.42
which was in Judah -
let's see what happens.
00:23:49.46\00:23:51.93
Bethany, can you please read
2 Samuel 2:4, our last verse.
00:23:51.96\00:23:56.93
"Then the men of Judah came
and there they anointed David
00:23:56.97\00:24:01.67
king over the house of Judah,
and they told David saying,
00:24:01.70\00:24:05.37
"The men of Jabesh Gilead
were the ones who buried Saul."
00:24:05.41\00:24:10.48
Thank you.
00:24:10.51\00:24:11.85
So finally after ALL this
time, we've been studying about
00:24:11.88\00:24:16.18
David the last couple of
lessons and finally David
00:24:16.22\00:24:19.32
is anointed as king, but it
was all done in God's timing,
00:24:19.35\00:24:23.53
and if you go over
and have a look at our
00:24:23.56\00:24:25.76
"Kings and Prophets
Chart," you can see at the top
00:24:25.79\00:24:28.63
there that Saul was the
first king and now David
00:24:28.66\00:24:31.53
is the second king of Israel.
00:24:31.57\00:24:34.20
Thank you boys and girls
for reading along with us.
00:24:34.24\00:24:36.40
We have a devotional available
that goes into more depth
00:24:36.44\00:24:39.44
on what we studied today,
here is how you can get that!
00:24:39.47\00:24:42.98

00:24:56.22\00:24:59.93
He has posted some videos of his
intense training for the show.
00:24:59.96\00:25:03.77
Boys and girls, we want to

00:25:07.30\00:25:10.71
Thanks Nick and Sarah!
00:25:11.91\00:25:13.24
We want to encourage you
to read your Bibles every day
00:25:13.27\00:25:16.98
so you can get to
know Jesus as your friend.
00:25:17.01\00:25:20.22
That's why we've
developed the daily devotionals
00:25:20.25\00:25:23.49
to help you to do that.
00:25:23.52\00:25:25.42
If you have any questions
of any of the Bible studies,
00:25:25.45\00:25:29.49
you can contact us at
the address on the screen.
00:25:29.52\00:25:33.73
Yes, we would love to hear from
you and perhaps Aunty Cecily
00:25:33.76\00:25:36.97
when we spoke about blessing,
earlier on about reading
00:25:37.00\00:25:40.34
the Bible to someone,
the children could use those
00:25:40.37\00:25:43.07
studies as a guide to do that.
00:25:43.10\00:25:45.07
That's a great idea!
00:25:45.11\00:25:46.91
Aunty Nat, shall we go over our
memory verse with the children?
00:25:46.94\00:25:50.21
Yes, let's do that.
00:25:50.25\00:25:51.58
Children, can we
read that together?
00:25:51.61\00:25:59.35
What a beautiful
promise! Isn't it.
00:26:30.99\00:26:33.56
Mia, we've nearly come to
the end of our worship time,
00:26:33.59\00:26:36.46
what did you learn
about the King today?
00:26:36.49\00:26:38.79
That Jesus wants to put
crowns on our heads in heaven.
00:26:38.83\00:26:41.46
Yes, He certainly
does, Jesus wants us
00:26:41.50\00:26:44.57
to all be in heaven with Him.
00:26:44.60\00:26:46.94
Aunty Cecily, do you think
we're all ready to sing our
00:26:46.97\00:26:49.30
blessing song to
the children at home?
00:26:49.34\00:26:51.24
I think so - would
you like to turn around
00:26:51.27\00:26:52.71
and sing to the
boys and girls at home?
00:26:52.74\00:26:55.84
May God bless you and keep you,
00:27:00.68\00:27:05.85
and fill your heart with love.
00:27:05.89\00:27:11.03
May God guide and protect you,
00:27:11.06\00:27:15.86
and watch you from above.
00:27:15.90\00:27:21.20
As Sabbath after Sabbath,
00:27:21.24\00:27:26.31
we greet the day of rest.
00:27:26.34\00:27:31.38
The day the King of glory
00:27:31.41\00:27:36.62
has sanctified and blessed.
00:27:36.65\00:27:41.69
Goodbye my
friends, till we meet again,
00:27:41.72\00:27:46.83
for another day with the King.
00:27:46.86\00:27:52.03
Goodbye! See you next Sabbath!
00:27:52.07\00:27:58.11
I'm looking forward to
going to heaven because
00:28:06.18\00:28:08.05
they'll be never-ending food.
00:28:08.08\00:28:10.05
I'm looking forward to
going to heaven because
00:28:15.09\00:28:17.66
I'd get to see all
the Bible characters.
00:28:17.69\00:28:20.70
I can't wait to
get to heaven because
00:28:24.23\00:28:26.37
I'll be able to play
with all the animals.
00:28:26.40\00:28:30.14
