Hello There! Happy Sabbath!
00:00:02.00\00:00:03.67
Come on in! We're about to meet
00:00:03.70\00:00:05.20
with the King!
00:00:05.23\00:00:06.57
Hello, I'm Aunty
Nat, and I'm Aunty Cecily!
00:00:51.85\00:00:54.38
We're so glad you have decided
to join us for our worship.
00:00:54.42\00:00:57.89
Aunty Cecily, we have
some children to say hello to
00:00:57.92\00:01:00.52
who join our
worship time very regularly.
00:01:00.56\00:01:03.29
Yes, I'd like to say a BIG
HELLO to Brunhilda and Walter
00:01:03.32\00:01:06.73
from South
Africa... HELLO! Hi! Hello!
00:01:06.76\00:01:11.13
Wow, thanks Brunhilda
and Walter for sending us
00:01:11.17\00:01:13.77
that amazing picture!
00:01:13.80\00:01:15.54
We definitely don't
have giraffes in our country,
00:01:15.57\00:01:18.17
except in a zoo,
but we do have bunnies,
00:01:18.21\00:01:21.08
and we can't forget
to say hello to Teddy.
00:01:21.11\00:01:24.41
It's do good to have you
back on the couch with us Teddy.
00:01:24.45\00:01:27.42
You're such a good boy.
00:01:27.45\00:01:28.88
Aunty Cecily, can you
please say a prayer for us
00:01:28.92\00:01:30.95
to open our worship time?
00:01:30.99\00:01:32.35
Yes, I'd love
to... Father in heaven,
00:01:32.39\00:01:35.02
Thank You so much
for another Sabbath day.
00:01:35.06\00:01:37.66
Thank You for keeping
us safe through the week,
00:01:37.69\00:01:40.46
and please bless all the
children who are joining us
00:01:40.50\00:01:43.16
in worship today. In
Jesus name... Amen, Amen.
00:01:43.20\00:01:47.64
Now Aunty Cecily, you
have some amazing things
00:01:47.67\00:01:50.74
to share with us
over the coming months...
00:01:50.77\00:01:52.91
Something about keys
that will help us get ready
00:01:52.94\00:01:56.01
for the second coming of Jesus!
00:01:56.04\00:01:58.45
Yes, I'm so excited
about all the wonderful things
00:01:58.48\00:02:01.62
we have to share.
00:02:01.65\00:02:03.15
Do you like getting gifts? Yes.
00:02:03.18\00:02:07.16
Now if I was to give you
this gift and offer it to you,
00:02:07.19\00:02:11.76
but you refuse to accept
it, will the gift become yours?
00:02:11.79\00:02:15.10
No.
00:02:15.13\00:02:16.53
So you'd have to accept
this gift in order for this
00:02:16.56\00:02:19.73
gift to become yours,
is that right? Yes. Okay.
00:02:19.77\00:02:23.14
So Jesus offers us some gifts
to help us to get to heaven,
00:02:23.17\00:02:27.54
but we have to
accept them and use them.
00:02:27.58\00:02:30.71
Mia, can you open our gift
box and tell us what's inside?
00:02:30.75\00:02:34.22
A key.
00:02:34.85\00:02:36.18
Oh, and what does a key do?
00:02:36.22\00:02:37.79
Unlock a door.
00:02:37.82\00:02:39.45
Yes, that's right.
00:02:39.49\00:02:41.39
Now there's a label on
the key, what does that label
00:02:41.42\00:02:43.93
tell us what the key is for?
00:02:43.96\00:02:45.56
Accept God's love.
00:02:45.59\00:02:47.20
Yes - so accepting
God's love is like a key
00:02:47.23\00:02:50.87
that opens the door to heaven.
00:02:50.90\00:02:53.00
We've learned a lot
about the love of God
00:02:53.03\00:02:55.10
during our
worship times together.
00:02:55.14\00:02:57.31
Now can you turn the
key tag over and tell us
00:02:57.34\00:03:00.24
what the text is?
00:03:00.28\00:03:01.61
John 3:16. Thanks Mia.
00:03:01.64\00:03:04.21
Matthew, could you please read
John 3:16 for us from the Bible?
00:03:04.25\00:03:09.52
"For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten
00:03:09.55\00:03:13.12
Son, that whoever believes
in Him, shall not perish,
00:03:13.15\00:03:15.96
but have everlasting
life." Thanks Matthew.
00:03:15.99\00:03:18.89
What a beautiful promise!
00:03:18.93\00:03:20.90
God loved us so much that
He sent the most wonderful
00:03:20.93\00:03:24.43
Gift in the life and sacrifice
of Jesus on our behalf,
00:03:24.47\00:03:28.34
so that we can
have eternal life.
00:03:28.37\00:03:30.71
Romans 6:23 says that..."The
wages of sin is death,
00:03:30.74\00:03:35.98
but the gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
00:03:36.01\00:03:41.18
He couldn't have
given us any greater gift,
00:03:41.22\00:03:44.35
but we have to accept
that gift of eternal life.
00:03:44.39\00:03:48.52
The gift of
eternal life is free.
00:03:48.56\00:03:50.93
We can't earn it but
there are some things that God
00:03:50.96\00:03:54.16
needs us to do to
prepare for His return.
00:03:54.20\00:03:57.87
These keys that we are
going to talk about over
00:03:57.90\00:04:00.94
the coming weeks, will
help us to unlock the treasures
00:04:00.97\00:04:04.54
of heaven to help us
get ready for Jesus' return.
00:04:04.57\00:04:08.64
They are our
keys to the kingdom.
00:04:08.68\00:04:11.78
Now each week, we will
hang our keys on the wall
00:04:11.81\00:04:14.68
over there by the
door as a reminder.
00:04:14.72\00:04:17.69
You know, everything God
asks us to do, He promises us
00:04:17.72\00:04:22.59
the power to do it.
00:04:22.62\00:04:24.63
He only asks us to do
things that are good for us.
00:04:24.66\00:04:28.86
Later in our Bible study,
we're going to learn more about
00:04:28.90\00:04:32.33
King David who accepted God's
love and offer of salvation,
00:04:32.37\00:04:37.01
and how God blessed his
life and looked after him.
00:04:37.04\00:04:40.21
So as we spend time
with the Kingly Sabbath,
00:04:40.24\00:04:43.24
let's ask God to give
us willing hearts to accept
00:04:43.28\00:04:47.28
His great gift of love.
00:04:47.32\00:04:49.38
Oh, that's beautiful, thank you
00:04:49.42\00:04:51.05
Aunty Cecily, for
sharing that with us.
00:04:51.09\00:04:52.92
I'm already looking
forward to finding out
00:04:52.95\00:04:55.49
what next week's key is.
00:04:55.52\00:04:57.93
I think it might be
time to praise God in song,
00:04:57.96\00:05:00.73
and we have
Braedan here with us.
00:05:00.76\00:05:02.76
Thanks so much,
Braedan, for coming and sharing
00:05:02.80\00:05:04.70
your music ability
with us. Thanks Aunty Net.
00:05:04.73\00:05:06.07
Hi boys and girls!
00:05:06.80\00:05:08.14
Let's sing, "We Will
Gather to Meet With the King"
00:05:08.37\00:05:10.71
Braedan, can we
play, "Sing, The King has a
00:05:48.48\00:05:50.41
Treasure House?"
We certainly can.
00:05:50.45\00:05:52.18
Braedan, can we
please sing "Jesus Loves Me?"
00:06:53.51\00:06:56.61
I love that song,
let's sing it together!
00:06:56.64\00:06:58.68
Thanks Braedan, it's so
good to praise God in song.
00:08:14.99\00:08:18.43
Guess what? Dr. John is back
with some wonderful stories!
00:08:18.46\00:08:23.43
Let's go and
join him in his study.
00:08:23.47\00:08:25.97
Hello boys and girls, it's
wonderful to be back with you.
00:08:26.30\00:08:30.07
And a special welcome to
the boys and girls of Ireland,
00:08:30.11\00:08:34.28
way across the ocean,
because this story started in
00:08:34.31\00:08:38.75
your country.
00:08:38.78\00:08:40.28
Three people,
Bruce, Isidor, and Ida...
00:08:40.32\00:08:47.06
Bruce was rich - he was
mega-rich, more money than
00:08:47.09\00:08:54.36
you and I would
ever dream about.
00:08:54.40\00:08:56.67
In fact, he was so rich,
he owned a company called
00:08:56.70\00:09:00.94
"The White Star Shipping Line,"
and he decided that he would
00:09:00.97\00:09:06.11
build the biggest, the fastest,
the safest, the most fantastic
00:09:06.14\00:09:12.05
boat that had ever been built!
00:09:12.08\00:09:14.12
And it gradually took shape,
and they called it, because they
00:09:14.15\00:09:18.92
wanted a BIG name, "TITANIC!"
00:09:18.95\00:09:21.99
And when the Titanic was ready
to sail, they all got on board.
00:09:22.79\00:09:29.23
The richest people in the
world were on first class,
00:09:29.26\00:09:33.90
and then there was
second class and then there was
00:09:33.94\00:09:37.54
third class where a
lot of poor people were.
00:09:37.57\00:09:40.28
And you know, when they
built that boat, they said,
00:09:40.31\00:09:42.98
"It will never sink."
00:09:43.01\00:09:44.51
In fact, the newspapers
reported, "No god can ever
00:09:44.55\00:09:49.78
sink this boat."
00:09:49.82\00:09:51.39
And they were so confident,
that they built the boat
00:09:51.42\00:09:54.92
with not enough life
boats for all the passengers.
00:09:54.96\00:10:00.13
And so away it sailed.
00:10:00.16\00:10:01.86
And I'm sure many of
you know the story...
00:10:01.90\00:10:04.47
In the middle of the
night, it hit an iceberg and it
00:10:04.50\00:10:09.97
wasn't long before they
realized that the Titanic,
00:10:10.01\00:10:13.41
that beautiful brand new
boat, its first trip, it started
00:10:13.44\00:10:18.78
to go nose-down in the
water, and they realized
00:10:18.81\00:10:22.68
it was going to sink.
00:10:22.72\00:10:24.35
Now Isidor - his name
was Isidor Straus, he was
00:10:24.39\00:10:31.46
very rich but he was very
much in love with his wife,
00:10:31.49\00:10:36.30
and they had been
married for many, many years...
00:10:36.33\00:10:40.70
And her name was "Ida,"
and they were standing on
00:10:40.74\00:10:45.24
the boat deck and the
rule always was "Women and
00:10:45.27\00:10:51.21
children first
and then the men."
00:10:51.25\00:10:53.88
And they were putting all
the women and all the children
00:10:53.92\00:10:56.69
on the boat and Mr. Isidor
Straus - he was not getting
00:10:56.72\00:11:02.69
on the boat
because he knew the rules.
00:11:02.72\00:11:06.29
And they said to his wife,
"Step in," and then they said,
00:11:06.33\00:11:10.77
"Mr. Straus, we'll
find room for you."
00:11:10.80\00:11:12.77
He said, "I am not going on
the lifeboat while there are
00:11:12.80\00:11:16.37
women and children."
00:11:16.40\00:11:18.47
And Mrs. Straus stepped out
of the boat, out of the lifeboat
00:11:18.51\00:11:22.58
and she went back
to her husband's side,
00:11:22.61\00:11:25.08
and she said something
that everybody in the lifeboat
00:11:25.11\00:11:29.25
heard and remembered
for a long time afterwards.
00:11:29.28\00:11:32.79
You know what she said?
00:11:32.82\00:11:34.16
"My darling, we have been
married for many, many years,
00:11:34.19\00:11:39.89
and I'm not going
to leave you now."
00:11:40.43\00:11:43.57
She was actually
pronouncing her death sentence.
00:11:43.60\00:11:47.97
And they stayed and the
last people saw of them,
00:11:48.00\00:11:51.57
they were standing on the
deck as the boat started to sink
00:11:51.61\00:11:55.71
with their arms
around each other.
00:11:55.74\00:11:58.15
Bruce, he, the owner of the
boat... you know what he did?
00:11:58.18\00:12:06.59
He jumped onto a lifeboat
and for the rest of his life,
00:12:06.62\00:12:11.33
he was called, "Brute Ismay."
00:12:11.36\00:12:15.10
You know, he had many treasures
and I have got one of his
00:12:15.13\00:12:19.23
treasures here today.
00:12:19.27\00:12:22.07
This is a clock and let
me tell you - it is worth
00:12:22.10\00:12:25.94
thousands and
thousands of dollars,
00:12:25.97\00:12:28.31
and somebody has
lent it to me today.
00:12:28.34\00:12:31.15
And if you look on the
back, written on the gold,
00:12:31.18\00:12:34.02
it says, "Bruce Ismay."
00:12:34.05\00:12:37.02
His treasures were
very, very important to him.
00:12:37.05\00:12:41.39
And he was so desperate,
that he would live with his
00:12:41.42\00:12:44.23
treasures, he broke all
the rules and he was hated
00:12:44.26\00:12:47.96
for the rest of his life.
00:12:48.00\00:12:50.37
You know, God made the
first lifeboat with Noah.
00:12:50.40\00:12:53.87
God designed it,
Noah built it and only
00:12:53.90\00:12:57.17
eight people were
saved in the world.
00:12:57.21\00:13:00.38
And He has given us a
lifeboat because He sent His Son
00:13:00.41\00:13:03.85
down to be the one who should
die in order for us to be saved.
00:13:03.88\00:13:09.25
Fifteen hundred
people died in the Titanic.
00:13:09.28\00:13:13.12
Most of them died
in the freezing water.
00:13:13.15\00:13:16.06
It was a terrible
event, but God gave His Son
00:13:16.09\00:13:19.73
and He is the
lifeboat of heaven.
00:13:19.76\00:13:22.76
He died for us and I'm
looking forward to seeing Him,
00:13:22.80\00:13:26.23
are you? I know
you are. Thank you.
00:13:26.27\00:13:29.20
Hi boys and girls,
welcome to our Bible study.
00:13:30.57\00:13:33.04
If you haven't got your
Bible, go get it now so you can
00:13:33.07\00:13:35.51
follow along with us.
00:13:35.54\00:13:36.88
Caleb, can you
please say a prayer for us
00:13:36.91\00:13:38.55
before we commence our study.
00:13:38.58\00:13:40.48
Dear Father... Thank You for
our Bibles. Be with the children
00:13:40.52\00:13:43.89
who are joining us
at home to understand
00:13:43.92\00:13:46.05
what we are reading today.
00:13:46.09\00:13:47.46
In Jesus name...
Amen, Amen, thank you Caleb.
00:13:47.49\00:13:50.89
Bethany, can you
remember where we left off
00:13:50.93\00:13:53.13
last time we met?
00:13:53.16\00:13:54.50
It was when David became king.
00:13:54.53\00:13:56.40
Yes it was, wasn't it?
00:13:56.43\00:13:57.80
Well today, we're
going to continue our study
00:13:57.83\00:14:01.27
about what happened
during David's leadership
00:14:01.30\00:14:04.01
as king of Israel and
you're going to start us off
00:14:04.04\00:14:07.01
Erin - can you start off
in 2 Samuel 2:8-9 and 11.
00:14:07.04\00:14:14.45
"But Abner, the son of
Ner, commander of Saul's army,
00:14:14.48\00:14:18.75
took Ishbosheth the son of Saul,
00:14:18.79\00:14:21.19
and brought him
over to Mahanaim;
00:14:21.22\00:14:24.23
And he made him king over
Gilead, and over the Ashurites,
00:14:24.26\00:14:27.66
over Jezreel, over
Ephraim, over Benjamin,
00:14:27.70\00:14:31.33
and over all Israel.
00:14:31.37\00:14:33.50
And the time that David
was king in Hebron over the
00:14:33.54\00:14:37.94
house of Judah was
seven years and six months."
00:14:37.97\00:14:40.94
Hmm, good
reading, thank you Erin.
00:14:40.98\00:14:42.61
So the Bible is telling us
that David was King of Judah
00:14:42.64\00:14:46.41
down here at Hebron.
00:14:46.45\00:14:48.08
Aunty Cecily, you can just
quickly point at that for us.
00:14:48.12\00:14:50.69
But the rest of Israel was under
the reign of King Ishbosheth
00:14:50.72\00:14:54.92
which is up there at Mahanaim.
00:14:54.96\00:14:57.76
Now Abner, who used to be the
commander over King Saul's army,
00:14:57.79\00:15:02.83
knew that David was
anointed to be the next king,
00:15:02.86\00:15:05.83
but Abner had a
grudge against David and he
00:15:05.87\00:15:08.54
made Saul's son, Ishbosheth king
00:15:08.57\00:15:10.97
for his own personal
advancement and power.
00:15:11.01\00:15:14.34
This resulted in a longstanding
war against King David
00:15:14.38\00:15:18.61
and his commander
Joab, and King Ishbosheth,
00:15:18.65\00:15:22.52
and his commander Abner.
00:15:22.55\00:15:25.55
Now Caleb, I'm going to
get you to read 2 Samuel 3:2-5,
00:15:25.59\00:15:31.26
and we're going to
find out what's happening in
00:15:31.29\00:15:33.33
David's life during this time.
00:15:33.36\00:15:35.00
"Samuel born unto David
in Hebron; his first son was
00:15:35.03\00:15:39.27
Amnon, of
Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
00:15:39.30\00:15:42.10
his second, Chileab, of
Abigail the widow of Nabal
00:15:42.14\00:15:45.74
the Carmelite; the third
Absalom the son of Maacah
00:15:45.77\00:15:49.44
the daughter of
Talmai king of Geshur;
00:15:49.48\00:15:51.81
the fourth,
Adonijah the son of Haggith;
00:15:51.85\00:15:54.78
the fifth,
Shephatiah the son of Abital;
00:15:54.82\00:15:59.59
and the sixth,
Ithream, by David's wife Eglah.
00:15:59.62\00:16:04.66
These were born
to David in Hebron."
00:16:04.69\00:16:07.30
Wow, thanks Caleb,
there's a lot of tricky names
00:16:07.33\00:16:10.03
in there - well done!
00:16:10.07\00:16:11.67
So the Bible is telling
us that David had six wives
00:16:11.70\00:16:15.67
and six sons, and if we
were to continue to read,
00:16:15.70\00:16:19.11
the Bible tells us that
David also got his first
00:16:19.14\00:16:21.91
wife, Michal, back which
brought David's wives to seven.
00:16:21.94\00:16:25.68
Are you supposed to
have that many wives?
00:16:25.71\00:16:28.02
No, and we're going to
study about the result of that
00:16:28.05\00:16:31.15
in a later study.
00:16:31.19\00:16:32.52
So as a result of the
in-fighting between the two
00:16:32.55\00:16:35.89
army commanders, King
Ishbosheth was murdered
00:16:35.92\00:16:39.23
by his own men and
David was anointed king over
00:16:39.26\00:16:43.26
all of Israel and the Bible
tells us that David and his men
00:16:43.30\00:16:47.64
conquered Jebus which is
32 kilometers north of Hebron
00:16:47.67\00:16:51.87
and renamed it "Jerusalem."
00:16:51.91\00:16:53.74
Can you just show
that to us Aunty Cecily?
00:16:53.78\00:16:56.85
Okay, Bethany, you're
going to continue our reading
00:16:56.88\00:16:59.65
in 2 Samuel 5:10-11.
00:16:59.68\00:17:03.92
"So David went on and
became great and the Lord God
00:17:03.95\00:17:08.69
of hosts was with him.
00:17:08.72\00:17:10.09
Then Hiram king of Tyre
sent messengers to David,
00:17:10.13\00:17:14.00
and cedar trees and
carpenters and masons,
00:17:14.03\00:17:16.56
and they built David a house."
00:17:16.60\00:17:19.10
So David, through God
blessing him, became great
00:17:19.13\00:17:22.07
throughout the land of
Israel to the point that another
00:17:22.10\00:17:25.47
king from another land
wanted to help build his palace.
00:17:25.51\00:17:29.38
Now, we're going over to a new
book in the Bible and that's in
00:17:29.41\00:17:33.82
1 Chronicles, and for
the boys and girls at home,
00:17:33.85\00:17:37.09
1 Chronicles has the
same stories as 2 Samuel,
00:17:37.12\00:17:40.76
so we're going to flip
back and forth, so make sure you
00:17:40.79\00:17:42.69
keep your bookmark in 2 Samuel.
00:17:42.72\00:17:45.29
David consulted with the leaders
and gathered all the priests
00:17:45.33\00:17:50.00
and Levites and
the people of Israel
00:17:50.03\00:17:52.03
in preparation to speak to them.
00:17:52.07\00:17:54.07
Let's see what he says.
00:17:54.10\00:17:55.64
Sophie, are you able to read
for me, 1 Chronicles 13:3-4.
00:17:55.67\00:18:02.44
"And let us bring the
ark of our God back to us;
00:18:02.48\00:18:05.65
for we have not enquired
at it since the day of Saul.
00:18:05.68\00:18:08.55
And all the assembly
said that they would do so;
00:18:08.58\00:18:11.15
for the thing was right in
the eyes of all the people."
00:18:11.19\00:18:13.76
Thanks Sophie.
00:18:13.79\00:18:15.12
So David wanted to bring the
00:18:15.16\00:18:16.83
Ark of the
Covenant to Jerusalem.
00:18:16.86\00:18:19.13
Let's see where
they go to get it.
00:18:19.16\00:18:20.86
Matthew, can you
read 1 Chronicles 13:6.
00:18:20.90\00:18:24.77
"And David and all
Israel went up to Baalah,
00:18:24.80\00:18:27.90
to Kirjath Jearim, which
belonged to Judah, to bring
00:18:27.94\00:18:31.47
up from there the ark
of God the Lord, who dwells
00:18:31.51\00:18:35.94
between the
cherubim, where His name
00:18:35.98\00:18:38.55
is proclaimed." Thanks Matthew.
00:18:38.61\00:18:40.32
Do you remember that we
previously studied that the ark
00:18:40.35\00:18:43.99
was stolen and returned to the
Israelites - it was taken to a
00:18:44.02\00:18:48.49
place called Kirjath Jearim.
00:18:48.52\00:18:50.93
Well that is where David
is now retrieving it from.
00:18:50.96\00:18:54.76
So the ark has been
there a very long time.
00:18:54.80\00:18:57.40
Can you show that to
us, Aunty Cecily. Thank you.
00:18:57.43\00:19:01.04
Kirjath Jearim is about
14 kilometers from Jerusalem.
00:19:01.07\00:19:05.41
Okay, Mia, can you read 1
Chronicles 13:7-8, please.
00:19:05.44\00:19:10.38
"So they carried the
ark of God on a new cart
00:19:10.41\00:19:13.62
from the house of Abinadab, and
Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
00:19:13.65\00:19:20.46
Then David and all Israel
played music before God with
00:19:20.49\00:19:24.49
all their might,
with strings on harps,
00:19:24.53\00:19:27.80
and on stringed
instruments, on tambourines,
00:19:27.83\00:19:32.23
on cymbals, and with trumpets."
00:19:32.27\00:19:34.90
Okay, Aunty Cecily,
can you read verse 9 to 10.
00:19:34.94\00:19:38.64
"And when they came to Chidon's
threshing floor, Uzza put out
00:19:38.67\00:19:43.85
his hand to hold the
ark, for the oxen stumbled.
00:19:43.88\00:19:47.92
Then the anger of the
Lord was aroused against Uzza,
00:19:47.95\00:19:51.55
and He struck him because
he put his hand to the ark;
00:19:51.59\00:19:55.76
and he died there before God."
00:19:55.79\00:19:58.79
So Uzza died for
touching the ark.
00:19:58.83\00:20:02.63
David was so shocked
and overwhelmed at the event
00:20:02.66\00:20:06.17
of Uzza dying that David
got so scared - he left the ark
00:20:06.20\00:20:10.61
at the home of Obed-Edom.
Can you point that out?
00:20:10.64\00:20:13.01
That's approximately
where it was. Thank you.
00:20:14.01\00:20:17.81
During the next three
months, verse 14 tells us
00:20:17.85\00:20:21.95
that the family of
Obed-Edom was blessed
00:20:21.98\00:20:24.15
by having the ark with them.
00:20:24.19\00:20:26.29
Also during this time,
David realized he had moved the
00:20:26.32\00:20:30.13
ark the wrong way -
let's read about it.
00:20:30.16\00:20:33.56
Erin, can you please read 1
Chronicles 15:4, then 12-13.
00:20:33.60\00:20:39.93
"Then David
assembled the children
00:20:41.40\00:20:43.71
of Aaron and the Levites...
00:20:43.74\00:20:45.44
He said to them, "You
are the heads of the fathers'
00:20:45.47\00:20:48.61
houses of the Levites; sanctify
yourselves, you and your
00:20:48.64\00:20:52.55
brethren that you may
bring up the ark of the Lord God
00:20:52.58\00:20:56.05
of Israel to the place
I have prepared for it.
00:20:56.08\00:21:00.16
For because you did not do
it the first time, the Lord
00:21:00.19\00:21:02.76
our God broke out against
us, because we did not consult
00:21:02.79\00:21:06.03
Him about the proper order."
00:21:06.06\00:21:07.73
So the ark was to be
moved by the Levites as God had
00:21:07.76\00:21:11.10
stipulated in
the Book of Numbers.
00:21:11.13\00:21:13.40
And they were to
sanctify themselves beforehand
00:21:13.44\00:21:17.04
meaning they were to
seek forgiveness from God
00:21:17.07\00:21:19.57
as the Ark of the
Covenant was holy.
00:21:19.61\00:21:22.51
That's why Uzza died
because he touched the holy ark.
00:21:22.54\00:21:26.51
When he had sins, he
had not confessed to God.
00:21:26.55\00:21:31.79
Let's see what else
the Levites had to do.
00:21:31.82\00:21:34.36
Caleb, can you
read 1 Chronicles 15:15.
00:21:34.39\00:21:38.29
"And the children of the
Levites bore the ark of God
00:21:38.33\00:21:42.03
on their shoulders,
by its poles, as Moses
00:21:42.06\00:21:44.97
had commanded according to the
word of the Lord." Thanks Caleb!
00:21:45.00\00:21:47.97
So the Levites were not to touch
the ark, even when wrapped.
00:21:49.04\00:21:53.58
It was to be carried with
the poles - you can see the
00:21:53.61\00:21:56.95
poles there underneath the
wrappings which were threaded
00:21:56.98\00:22:00.35
through the sides of
the ark and they had to be
00:22:00.38\00:22:02.22
carried on their shoulders.
00:22:02.25\00:22:04.29
Okay, we are now going
back to the Book of 2 Samuel,
00:22:04.32\00:22:08.22
so go back to your
bookmark and Bethany,
00:22:08.26\00:22:10.79
I want you to read for
me, please, 2 Samuel 6:13-15.
00:22:10.83\00:22:17.70
"And so it was, when those
bearing the ark of the Lord
00:22:19.00\00:22:22.64
had gone six
paces, that he sacrificed
00:22:22.67\00:22:25.47
oxen and fatted sheep.
00:22:25.51\00:22:27.44
Then David danced before
the Lord with all his might;
00:22:27.48\00:22:30.15
and David was
wearing a linen ephod.
00:22:30.18\00:22:32.61
So David and all the house
of Israel brought up the ark
00:22:32.65\00:22:36.25
of the Lord with shouting
and the sound of the trumpet."
00:22:36.28\00:22:39.65
It's interesting that
David is wearing a linen ephod.
00:22:39.69\00:22:43.09
Let's have a look at our
torch light, Mrs. White's
00:22:43.12\00:22:46.36
writings, to see what they shine
00:22:46.39\00:22:49.13
on those verses
that we've just read.
00:22:49.16\00:22:52.30
Sophie, can you
read that for us.
00:22:52.33\00:22:55.40
"The king had laid aside
his royal robes and attired
00:22:59.47\00:23:02.74
himself in a plain linen ephod
such as worn by the priests.
00:23:02.78\00:23:06.18
In this holy service, he would
take his place as before God
00:23:06.95\00:23:11.45
on an equality
with his subjects.
00:23:11.49\00:23:13.59
Upon that day,
Jehovah was to be adored.
00:23:13.62\00:23:15.99
He was to be the
sole object of reverence."
00:23:16.02\00:23:18.69
Thanks Sophie.
00:23:18.73\00:23:20.16
David was showing his
humbleness before the people
00:23:20.20\00:23:23.47
as he wanted them to know
that the event of bringing
00:23:23.50\00:23:27.27
the Ark of the Covenant to
Jerusalem was all about God.
00:23:27.30\00:23:31.34
He laid his kingly robes
and crown aside and dressed
00:23:31.37\00:23:34.51
simply and humbly
before the people.
00:23:34.54\00:23:37.75
Let's go now back
to 1 Chronicles to our
00:23:37.78\00:23:41.28
memory verse - we've got it
marked there boys and girls.
00:23:41.32\00:23:44.55
Can you do that?
And we're going to read
00:23:44.59\00:23:47.32
a Psalm or a song that David
sang in thanksgiving to God
00:23:47.36\00:23:52.73
after the ark was placed in
the tent that he had prepared
00:23:52.76\00:23:56.23
for it in Jerusalem.
00:23:56.26\00:23:57.60
So this is a
praise memory verse.
00:23:57.63\00:24:00.30
Boys and girls, this is
found in 1 Chronicles 16:8-10.
00:24:00.34\00:24:04.91
Let's read it together...
00:24:04.94\00:24:08.98
It's so good to praise God!
00:24:27.13\00:24:30.23
Thank you boys and girls
for reading along with us.
00:24:30.27\00:24:32.80
We have a devotional
available that goes into
00:24:32.83\00:24:35.27
more depth than

00:25:14.44\00:25:16.54
so make sure you drop
us an email to say hello.
00:25:16.58\00:25:19.71
Aunty Net, can you tell
us what we're going to study
00:25:19.75\00:25:22.25
about next week?
00:25:22.28\00:25:23.62
Yes, next Sabbath we are
going to study about what you
00:25:23.65\00:25:26.55
do when you make a big mistake.
00:25:26.59\00:25:28.76
We have a very interesting
story to read about that,
00:25:28.79\00:25:31.59
so make sure you
come back next week.
00:25:31.63\00:25:34.36
Aunty Cecily, shall we
go over the memory verse
00:25:34.40\00:25:36.63
that we learned in
our Bible study today?
00:25:36.67\00:25:38.73
Yes, children are
you ready to do that?
00:25:38.77\00:25:40.37
Let's say it all together.
00:25:40.40\00:25:41.74
Well children, we've
come to the end of another
00:26:07.00\00:26:10.23
worship time with the King.
00:26:10.27\00:26:12.27
Matthew, what did you
learn about the King today?
00:26:12.30\00:26:15.04
That God wants us to
accept His free gift of love.
00:26:15.07\00:26:18.41
Yes, He certainly does.
00:26:18.44\00:26:20.48
Aunty Nat, do you think we're
00:26:20.51\00:26:21.84
ready to sing our goodbye song
00:26:21.88\00:26:23.21
to the boys and girls at
home? Yes, let's do that.
00:26:23.24\00:26:25.41
Children, can you turn
around and let's sing to the
00:26:25.45\00:26:27.58
children at home.
00:26:27.62\00:26:29.38
May God bless you and keep you,
00:26:34.52\00:26:39.49
And fill your heart with love.
00:26:39.53\00:26:44.80
May God guide and protect you,
00:26:44.83\00:26:49.84
and watch you from above.
00:26:49.87\00:26:55.08
As Sabbath after Sabbath,
00:26:55.11\00:27:00.15
We greet the day of rest,
00:27:00.18\00:27:05.29
The day the King of glory
00:27:05.32\00:27:10.43
has sanctified and blessed.
00:27:10.46\00:27:15.30
Goodbye my friend
till we meet again,
00:27:15.33\00:27:20.64
For another day with the King.
00:27:20.67\00:27:26.14
Goodbye! See you next Sabbath!
00:27:26.17\00:27:29.61
My favorite story is in
the Bible is about Jesus
00:27:36.69\00:27:40.29
because He loves children.
00:27:40.32\00:27:42.82
My favorite Bible
story is David because
00:27:46.13\00:27:48.66
how he trusted
and had lots of faith
00:27:48.70\00:27:50.50
in God through
all the tough times.
00:27:50.53\00:27:53.70
My favorite story is
Ruth because she was brave
00:27:54.74\00:27:57.77
to follow Naomi
to a foreign town.
