Hello there! Happy Sabbath!
00:00:01.96\00:00:03.73
Come on in, we're
about to meet with the king.
00:00:03.77\00:00:05.73
Hello, I'm Aunty
Cecily, and I'm Aunty Nat.
00:00:51.31\00:00:55.32
and we're so glad you've decided
00:00:55.35\00:00:57.25
to join us all for worship.
00:00:57.29\00:00:58.85
Aunty Nat, we have
children who have been watching
00:00:58.89\00:01:01.82
us from all sorts
of different places.
00:01:01.86\00:01:03.86
Who would you like
to say "hello" to today?
00:01:03.89\00:01:06.13
I would like to say "hello"
to someone I met at Big Camp.
00:01:06.16\00:01:08.96
I'd like to say hello to
Matthew from New South Wales.
00:01:09.00\00:01:12.13
"Hello Matthew!"
00:01:12.17\00:01:14.04
We hope you're
feeling God's blessing
00:01:14.07\00:01:16.60
as you join us week by week.
00:01:16.64\00:01:18.91
We also have Teddy to
say hello to, "Hello Teddy."
00:01:18.94\00:01:22.24
I think he's just
sort of cleaning himself
00:01:22.28\00:01:25.28
a little bit
there ready for Sabbath.
00:01:25.31\00:01:27.95
Aunty Nat, would you
like to say a prayer to
00:01:27.98\00:01:30.09
open our worship
time together? Sure.
00:01:30.12\00:01:31.99
I'd love to.
00:01:32.02\00:01:33.36
Dearest Heavenly Father...
We just thank and praise
00:01:33.56\00:01:35.86
Your name that we're here
for the Sabbath to worship You.
00:01:35.89\00:01:38.83
We thank You, Lord, for
the children here and the
00:01:38.86\00:01:41.10
children watching us at home.
00:01:41.13\00:01:42.70
We ask, Lord, a
wonderful blessing on them.
00:01:42.73\00:01:45.13
We thank You for
keeping us safe this week.
00:01:45.17\00:01:47.17
In Jesus name... Amen, Amen.
00:01:47.20\00:01:50.91
Aunty Cecily, what's in the box?
00:01:50.94\00:01:53.21
Oh, would you like to
have a look in our gift box
00:01:53.24\00:01:56.41
and tell us what key to
the Kingdom we have this week?
00:01:56.44\00:01:59.35
What does it say?
00:02:01.62\00:02:03.05
"Give your heart to Jesus."
00:02:04.92\00:02:06.35
And what's the text on
the other side of the tag?
00:02:06.39\00:02:09.49
Luke 14:33. Thanks Joelle!
00:02:09.52\00:02:13.19
Bethany, would you like
to read that text for us
00:02:13.23\00:02:15.63
from the Bible? Sure.
00:02:15.66\00:02:17.13
"So likewise, whoever
of you does not forsake
00:02:17.17\00:02:20.14
all that he has, cannot be
My disciple." Thanks Bethany.
00:02:20.17\00:02:23.27
Giving our heart to Jesus
means not holding anything back.
00:02:25.21\00:02:29.34
That's why God says, "We have
to forsake all to follow Him."
00:02:29.38\00:02:33.88
It doesn't mean God wants
to make our lives unhappy;
00:02:33.92\00:02:37.22
in fact, it's
quite the opposite.
00:02:37.25\00:02:39.35
Mrs. White, in the
book, "Steps to Christ," says
00:02:39.39\00:02:42.46
that God doesn't require
us to give up anything that
00:02:42.49\00:02:45.99
in our best interest to retain.
00:02:46.03\00:02:48.70
Often when we give
everything to God, He can give
00:02:48.73\00:02:52.60
things back to us because
He can trust us to use them
00:02:52.63\00:02:56.34
wisely in His service.
00:02:56.37\00:02:58.41
Later in our lesson, we'll
see this in Solomon's life.
00:02:58.44\00:03:03.24
Solomon gave his life
to God and chose wisdom
00:03:03.28\00:03:06.61
rather than riches,
but God gave Solomon
00:03:06.65\00:03:10.05
wisdom and riches as well.
00:03:10.09\00:03:12.79
When we give
ourselves completely to God,
00:03:12.82\00:03:15.82
He can trust us with things
that might normally corrupt us.
00:03:15.86\00:03:19.59
God wants our heart.
00:03:19.63\00:03:21.73
In Jeremiah 29:13 it
says, "And you will seek Me
00:03:21.76\00:03:26.63
and find Me when you search
for Me with all your heart."
00:03:26.67\00:03:30.81
Now how can we give our
hearts and lives fully to God?
00:03:30.84\00:03:34.71
Remember when we discussed
"repentance" in Acts 2:37,
00:03:34.74\00:03:38.85
and Peter's answer to the
question, "What shall we do?"
00:03:38.88\00:03:42.55
Peter responded, "Repent and
be baptized every one of you."
00:03:42.58\00:03:48.26
So a public way of
giving our hearts to God
00:03:48.29\00:03:51.66
is to be baptized.
00:03:51.69\00:03:54.26
Bethany, what did
your baptism mean to you?
00:03:54.30\00:03:58.13
Well, it was my way of
showing everyone around me that
00:03:58.17\00:04:01.14
I wanted to follow
Jesus, so I got baptized.
00:04:01.17\00:04:03.67
Aw, that's wonderful Bethany!
00:04:03.71\00:04:05.97
So if God is speaking to
your heart and you haven't
00:04:06.01\00:04:10.58
been baptized, think
about it and pray and ask God
00:04:10.61\00:04:14.98
to guide you in
this important step.
00:04:15.02\00:04:17.92
So as we spend time
with the King this Sabbath,
00:04:17.95\00:04:20.46
let's ask God to make you
willing to give your heart
00:04:20.49\00:04:23.99
to Him without
holding anything back.
00:04:24.03\00:04:27.26
That's beautiful
Aunty Cecily, thank you
00:04:27.30\00:04:29.16
for sharing that with us.
00:04:29.20\00:04:30.80
God really wants us to
give our hearts to Him.
00:04:30.83\00:04:34.20
I can see that Braedan is here.
00:04:34.24\00:04:37.41
Thank you Braedan for
coming so faithfully every week
00:04:37.44\00:04:40.68
and sharing your musical talent
with us. Thanks Aunty Nat.
00:04:40.71\00:04:42.81
Hi boys and girls,
let's sing some songs!
00:04:43.71\00:04:46.38
"Oh Friend Do You Love Jesus?"
00:04:46.41\00:04:48.55
Braedan, can we please
sing "Wide, Wide as the Ocean?"
00:06:04.06\00:06:06.80
We certainly can.
00:06:06.83\00:06:08.43
Braedan, can we please
sing "Shine Just Where You are?"
00:07:10.26\00:07:13.76
That's a great song,
let's sing it together.
00:07:13.80\00:07:15.60
Thanks Braedan, we sang
some of my favorite songs today.
00:07:54.90\00:07:58.57
And who is going to join
us next for a story? Dr. John!
00:07:58.61\00:08:02.78
Yes, let's find out what
Dr. John has for us this week.
00:08:02.84\00:08:07.02
Hello boys and
girls, it's wonderful to be
00:08:07.05\00:08:10.15
back together again,
and a special welcome
00:08:10.19\00:08:13.19
to the boys and girls in
South Australia in the city of
00:08:13.22\00:08:16.96
Adelaide where this
true story happened.
00:08:16.99\00:08:20.63
And it was about a
little girl called "Sally,"
00:08:20.66\00:08:24.43
and she wanted a budgie.
00:08:24.47\00:08:26.80
Let me tell you a secret...
00:08:26.84\00:08:29.20
Now your mums and dads
might not want you to have a
00:08:29.24\00:08:33.27
budgie, but I'll
tell you how to get one.
00:08:33.31\00:08:35.68
You go to mummy and
daddy; on the first day you say,
00:08:35.71\00:08:39.51
"Can I have a
horse?" They'll say, "No."
00:08:39.55\00:08:43.39
On the second day,
"Can I have a horse?"
00:08:43.42\00:08:46.22
Third, fourth, fifth, sixth day,
"Can I please have a horse?"
00:08:46.25\00:08:50.09
"No, no, no, no, no and
on the seventh day, you say,
00:08:50.13\00:08:53.40
"Can I have a
budgie?" They'll say, "Yes."
00:08:53.43\00:08:56.83
They'll be so relieved
they're not getting a horse!
00:08:56.87\00:09:00.27
And she got a budgie, little
Sally and her mother said,
00:09:00.30\00:09:05.21
"You can have this
budgie as long as you promise me
00:09:05.24\00:09:08.34
you will look after it."
00:09:08.38\00:09:09.71
"Oh yes, mommy, I'll
look after my budgie,"
00:09:09.74\00:09:11.88
and she was so
faithful for two weeks.
00:09:11.91\00:09:16.35
And then not always
was her cage cleaned out,
00:09:16.38\00:09:21.22
and poor little "Chippy"
was a bit ignored and one day
00:09:21.26\00:09:24.96
mum said, "Sally,
you're not going anywhere
00:09:24.99\00:09:28.66
until you clean the cage."
00:09:28.70\00:09:30.83
So Sally thought, "I'm
in a hurry, I'm going to use
00:09:30.87\00:09:34.84
a vacuum cleaner."
00:09:34.87\00:09:36.91
Now let me tell
you what happened!
00:09:36.94\00:09:40.64
Because she had the vacuum
cleaner, she turned it on,
00:09:40.68\00:09:44.41
and I'm not turning it
on yet because of the noise,
00:09:44.45\00:09:47.02
and just as she
turned it on, her phone rang
00:09:47.05\00:09:51.32
and she was distracted.
00:09:51.55\00:09:53.72
Vacuum cleaners,
mobile phones and budgies
00:09:53.76\00:09:56.86
are not a very good mix.
00:09:56.89\00:09:59.46
And so... and I'll try not
to make it go for too long...
00:09:59.49\00:10:04.43
She was vacuuming and
she was looking the other way
00:10:04.47\00:10:07.60
and not paying attention...
00:10:07.64\00:10:11.34
OH! OH!
00:10:13.41\00:10:17.71
Where's Chippy?
00:10:18.78\00:10:20.82
Well, we better get
Chippy out real fast.
00:10:20.85\00:10:24.99
And she opened the
vacuum cleaner and there was
00:10:25.02\00:10:28.22
poor little Chippy, oh
he was dirty, he was dazed.
00:10:28.26\00:10:33.40
OH, mommy is going to be angry!
00:10:33.43\00:10:35.06
So she got a bowl of
water and she put him in
00:10:35.10\00:10:38.77
and gave him a bath and then
he was looking very bedraggled.
00:10:38.80\00:10:43.34
So she got mommy's hair dryer...
00:10:43.37\00:10:49.14
And poor little
Chippy, he was still alive,
00:10:51.01\00:10:57.95
he was in deep shock
because a vacuum had come
00:10:57.99\00:11:03.12
into his life; he had
fallen into a black hole;
00:11:03.16\00:11:06.90
he was totally shocked and
gave him back to his owner,
00:11:06.93\00:11:13.84
in this case it was
not Sally and you look
00:11:13.87\00:11:16.40
after poor little budgie.
00:11:16.44\00:11:18.27
You know, the newspaper
people heard about this story,
00:11:18.31\00:11:22.94
and they came to the house
and Sally's mommy was there,
00:11:22.98\00:11:27.52
and they said, "How is Chippy?"
00:11:27.55\00:11:32.32
And she gave an answer which
I thought was quite remarkable.
00:11:32.35\00:11:36.86
She said, "Chippy is alright,
he spends a lot of time just
00:11:36.89\00:11:42.80
looking out the window,
but he has lost his song.
00:11:42.83\00:11:48.44
He no longer sings,
he sang all the time."
00:11:48.47\00:11:52.71
And kids, this reminds me
of the children of Israel...
00:11:52.74\00:11:57.65
because they disobeyed God,
God allowed them to be taken
00:11:57.68\00:12:02.25
into captivity
right across to Babylon.
00:12:02.28\00:12:05.49
And there is a text in the
Bible that says, "The people who
00:12:05.52\00:12:09.46
captured them said, "We want
you to sing - we hear that you
00:12:09.49\00:12:12.33
sing very well;
please sing for us."
00:12:12.36\00:12:15.50
But you know, they hung
their harps on a tree down
00:12:15.53\00:12:20.60
by the rivers of
Babylon and the Bible tells us
00:12:20.64\00:12:24.34
that they couldn't sing
because they had disobeyed God,
00:12:24.37\00:12:30.05
and they had been punished.
00:12:30.08\00:12:32.21
Now Chippy didn't do anything
wrong but he had a big shock
00:12:32.25\00:12:36.95
and it took him a long, long
time to learn to sing again.
00:12:36.99\00:12:41.32
And you know, we need to
sing, we are told that when we
00:12:41.36\00:12:45.33
meet Jesus, we'll sing a
beautiful song about Moses
00:12:45.36\00:12:49.30
and the Lamb because Moses
was a faithful prophet of God.
00:12:49.33\00:12:52.77
And we will sing, even
when you are hurt, even when
00:12:52.80\00:12:57.41
you are frightened,
if you follow God, please
00:12:57.44\00:13:01.78
don't stop singing about Him.
00:13:01.81\00:13:04.51
Singing means
your heart is happy.
00:13:04.55\00:13:07.15
And I love that story,
thank you boys and girls.
00:13:07.18\00:13:10.19
Hi boys and girls,
welcome to our Bible study.
00:13:10.52\00:13:12.65
If you haven't got your Bibles
ready yet, go get them now
00:13:12.69\00:13:15.06
so you can follow along with us.
00:13:15.09\00:13:16.66
Sophie, can you
please say a prayer
00:13:16.69\00:13:18.29
for us before we
start our Bible study.
00:13:18.33\00:13:20.26
Dear Father... Help us
to understand what we read
00:13:20.30\00:13:23.06
in our Bibles today.
00:13:23.10\00:13:24.63
Help us give our hearts to You.
00:13:24.67\00:13:26.27
We ask that You please be
especially with the children
00:13:26.30\00:13:30.37
at home and bless them this day.
00:13:30.41\00:13:34.71
In Jesus name... Amen,
Amen. Thank you Sophie.
00:13:34.74\00:13:37.88
Matthew, can you remember what
we studied about last Sabbath?
00:13:37.91\00:13:40.35
David's children. Yes.
00:13:40.38\00:13:42.18
It was a bit of
a mess wasn't it?
00:13:42.22\00:13:43.79
Well today we're going to
look at the life of David's son,
00:13:44.75\00:13:50.46
Solomon, who was
chosen to be the next king.
00:13:50.49\00:13:54.00
Let's go to 1
Chronicles and see what David
00:13:54.03\00:13:57.13
said to his son, Solomon.
00:13:57.17\00:13:58.63
Erin, can you please read
1 Chronicles 28:11 and 19-20.
00:13:58.67\00:14:04.54
"Then David gave his son
Solomon the plans for the
00:14:04.57\00:14:07.61
vestibule, its houses, its
treasuries, its upper chambers,
00:14:07.64\00:14:11.75
its inner chambers, and
the place of the mercy seat..."
00:14:11.78\00:14:15.82
"All this, said David, the Lord
made me understand in writing
00:14:15.85\00:14:20.39
by His hand upon me, all
the works of these plans.
00:14:20.42\00:14:23.89
And David said to his son
Solomon, "Be strong and of
00:14:23.93\00:14:27.60
good courage, and do it;
do not fear nor be dismayed,
00:14:27.63\00:14:31.43
for the Lord God, my
God, will be with you.
00:14:31.47\00:14:35.27
He will not leave
you nor forsake you,
00:14:35.30\00:14:37.51
until you have finished
all the work for the service
00:14:37.54\00:14:40.01
of the house of
the Lord." Thanks Erin.
00:14:40.04\00:14:42.78
So David encouraged his son
to be strong and courageous,
00:14:42.81\00:14:46.88
and be faithful to God.
00:14:46.92\00:14:49.22
David had prepared all
the plans for the building of
00:14:49.25\00:14:51.95
the temple in which were written
under the inspiration of God.
00:14:51.99\00:14:55.52
Let's see what
else David had prepared.
00:14:55.56\00:14:57.39
Caleb, can you read
1 Chronicles 29:3-4.
00:14:57.43\00:15:01.60
"Moreover because I have
set my affection on the house
00:15:02.06\00:15:06.40
of my God, I have
given to the house of my God,
00:15:06.43\00:15:09.64
over and above all that I
have prepared for the holy
00:15:09.67\00:15:12.71
house, my own special
treasure of gold and silver;
00:15:12.74\00:15:15.98
3,000 talents of
gold, of the gold of Ophir,
00:15:16.01\00:15:20.65
and the 7,000 talents of
refined silver to overlay
00:15:20.68\00:15:24.59
the walls of the houses;
00:15:24.62\00:15:26.32
Wow, that was a lot
of gold that David gave!
00:15:26.35\00:15:28.89
A talent was a measurement of
weight that was used back then.
00:15:28.92\00:15:33.60
A talent in today's
measurement is about 33 kilos,
00:15:33.63\00:15:37.73
and if you have a
look on our table there,
00:15:37.77\00:15:40.77
we have a brick that's
been spray-painted with gold,
00:15:40.80\00:15:44.37
and it's exactly 33 kilos.
00:15:44.41\00:15:47.34
So that brick, that
you see there, is a talent,
00:15:47.38\00:15:50.85
but there is
something very special
00:15:50.88\00:15:52.75
sitting on top of
that brick, it's real gold.
00:15:52.78\00:15:55.75
Some has brought that in to
show us and that is beautiful,
00:15:55.78\00:15:58.65
so that is a real gold nugget
00:15:58.69\00:16:00.69
sitting there to
- give you an idea.
00:16:00.72\00:16:02.82
Alright, Abigail can you
read 1 Chronicles 29:6-7.
00:16:02.86\00:16:08.20
"Then the leaders
of the fathers' houses,
00:16:08.23\00:16:10.73
leaders of the tribes of Israel,
the captains of thousands
00:16:10.77\00:16:13.90
and of hundreds, with
the officers over the king's
00:16:13.94\00:16:18.17
work, offered willingly.
00:16:18.21\00:16:19.87
They gave for the work of
the house of God 5,000 talents
00:16:19.91\00:16:25.38
and 10,000 darics of
gold, 10,000 thousand
00:16:25.41\00:16:30.92
talents of silver,
18,000 talents of bronze,
00:16:30.95\00:16:34.09
and 100,000 talents of iron."
00:16:34.12\00:16:37.39
Wow, David made an
appeal to his people and they
00:16:37.43\00:16:40.66
donated precious
materials with a joyful heart.
00:16:40.70\00:16:43.83
They gave an extra 5,000
talents of gold and add to that
00:16:43.87\00:16:47.94
the 3,000 talents already gave,
they had 8,000 talents of gold.
00:16:47.97\00:16:53.61
That amount in today's
value is around about 14 billion
00:16:53.64\00:16:57.01
Australian dollars' worth
of gold - that's a lot of gold!
00:16:57.05\00:17:00.98
Let's go back to 1 Kings.
00:17:01.02\00:17:02.88
Sophie, can you
please read that for us.
00:17:02.92\00:17:05.69
1 Kings 2:10-12, please.
00:17:05.72\00:17:10.23
"So David rested with
his fathers and was buried
00:17:10.76\00:17:13.73
in the City of David.
00:17:13.76\00:17:15.13
The period that David reigned
over Israel was 40 years.
00:17:15.16\00:17:18.60
Seven years he reigned
in Hebron and in Jerusalem
00:17:18.63\00:17:22.67
he reigned 33 years.
00:17:22.70\00:17:24.54
Then Solomon sat on the
throne of his father David,
00:17:24.57\00:17:28.01
and his kingdom was
firmly established."
00:17:28.04\00:17:31.21
So David died - do you
know what, we have been through
00:17:31.25\00:17:34.42
an amazing journey with
David, learning about him.
00:17:34.45\00:17:37.92
He lived an extraordinary life!
00:17:37.95\00:17:40.42
Okay, so we're now
going back to 2 Chronicles,
00:17:40.46\00:17:44.56
and Matthew, you're going
to read 2 Chronicles 1:3 and 6.
00:17:44.59\00:17:51.20
"Then Solomon, and
all the assembly with him
00:17:51.23\00:17:54.37
went to the high place that
was Gibeon; for the tabernacle
00:17:54.40\00:17:58.24
of meeting with God
was there, which Moses the
00:17:58.27\00:18:01.58
servant of the Lord
had made in the wilderness.
00:18:01.61\00:18:04.51
And Solomon went up there
to the bronze altar before the
00:18:04.55\00:18:08.28
Lord, which was at
the tabernacle of meeting,
00:18:08.32\00:18:11.42
and offered a thousand
burnt offerings on it."
00:18:11.45\00:18:15.16
Thanks Matthew,
that was well read.
00:18:15.19\00:18:17.19
Solomon at the beginning of
his reign decided to go with
00:18:17.23\00:18:20.46
all the leaders of Israel to the
00:18:20.50\00:18:22.80
original tabernacle at Gibeon.
00:18:22.83\00:18:24.90
Let's see what happened next.
00:18:24.93\00:18:26.37
Mia, can you read 2
Chronicles 1:7-8 and 10, please.
00:18:26.40\00:18:31.51
"On that night God appeared
to Solomon, and said to him,
00:18:31.54\00:18:34.91
"Ask what shall I give you?"
00:18:34.94\00:18:37.08
And Solomon said to God:
"You have shown great mercy
00:18:37.11\00:18:41.28
to David my father, and
have made me king in his place.
00:18:41.32\00:18:47.26
Now give me wisdom and
knowledge that I may go out
00:18:47.29\00:18:53.70
and come in before this
people; for who can judge this
00:18:53.73\00:19:00.60
great people of Yours?"
00:19:00.64\00:19:02.87
Wow, so this is one of the
first occasions that God came
00:19:02.90\00:19:06.54
to Solomon and what was
it that Solomon asked for?
00:19:06.57\00:19:09.74
Wisdom, yes.
00:19:09.78\00:19:11.88
Okay Aunty Cecily, can
you read 2 Chronicles 1:11-12.
00:19:11.91\00:19:16.82
"Then God said to Solomon,
"Because this was in your
00:19:16.85\00:19:20.66
heart, and you have not
asked riches or wealth or honor
00:19:20.69\00:19:24.73
or the life of your enemies,
nor have you asked long life,
00:19:24.76\00:19:29.16
but have asked wisdom
and knowledge for yourself
00:19:29.20\00:19:32.90
that you may judge My people
00:19:32.93\00:19:35.07
over whom I have
made you king; wisdom and
00:19:35.10\00:19:38.91
knowledge are granted to
you and I will give you riches
00:19:38.94\00:19:43.04
and wealth and honor such
as none of the kings have had
00:19:43.08\00:19:47.35
who were before you, nor shall
any after you have the like."
00:19:47.38\00:19:52.32
Wow, so God was happy because
Solomon did not ask for wealth,
00:19:52.35\00:19:56.12
but asked for wisdom
instead and because of this,
00:19:56.16\00:19:59.43
God blessed him with
both wealth and wisdom.
00:19:59.46\00:20:03.40
Let's go back to 1 Kings
3, now during these times
00:20:03.43\00:20:09.10
there were no
courthouses of lawyers.
00:20:09.14\00:20:11.17
If you had a problem,
you went to see the king.
00:20:11.21\00:20:14.31
So here we have case
of two women who have both
00:20:14.34\00:20:16.95
recently had a baby and
lived in the same house.
00:20:16.98\00:20:20.82
One night one of the
babies died and the mother
00:20:20.85\00:20:23.95
switched her dead baby
with the live one, while the
00:20:23.99\00:20:26.99
other mother slept.
00:20:27.02\00:20:28.49
Let's see what happened
when this mother woke up.
00:20:28.52\00:20:31.53
Erin, can you
read 1 Kings 3:21-22.
00:20:31.56\00:20:35.66
"And when I rose in the
morning to nurse my son,
00:20:35.70\00:20:39.03
there he was, dead.
00:20:39.07\00:20:40.54
But when I had examined
him in the morning, indeed,
00:20:40.57\00:20:43.44
he was not my
son whom I had borne.
00:20:43.47\00:20:45.87
Then the other woman
said, "No, but the living one is
00:20:45.91\00:20:50.61
my son and the
dead one is your son."
00:20:50.65\00:20:52.85
And the first woman
said, "No, but the dead one is
00:20:52.88\00:20:55.85
your son and the
living one is my son."
00:20:55.88\00:20:58.19
Thus they spoke
before the king."
00:20:58.22\00:21:00.26
So they're arguing over
whom the dead son belonged to.
00:21:00.29\00:21:03.69
Let's find out
what King Solomon does.
00:21:03.73\00:21:05.79
Caleb, can you
read 1 Kings 3:24-25.
00:21:05.83\00:21:11.33
"Then the king
said, "Bring me a sword."
00:21:12.03\00:21:14.14
So they brought a sword before
the king and the king said,
00:21:14.17\00:21:17.47
"Divide the living child
in two, and give half to one,
00:21:17.51\00:21:20.64
and half to the other."
00:21:20.68\00:21:22.01
Wow! Abigail, can
you read 1 Kings 3:26-27.
00:21:22.04\00:21:28.22
"Then the woman whose son
was living spoke to the king,
00:21:28.25\00:21:32.45
for she yearned with
compassion for her son;
00:21:32.49\00:21:37.19
and she said, "O my lord,
give her the living child,
00:21:37.23\00:21:40.50
and by no means kill him."
00:21:40.53\00:21:42.96
But the other said, "Let
him be neither mine nor yours,
00:21:43.00\00:21:47.00
but divide him."
00:21:47.04\00:21:48.37
"So the king answered and
said, "Give the first woman
00:21:48.40\00:21:50.97
the living child and by no means
kill him, she is his mother."
00:21:51.81\00:21:57.05
So the real mother didn't
want her baby to be killed,
00:21:57.08\00:21:59.81
and to save him, she
was willing to give him up
00:21:59.85\00:22:02.65
and give him to the other woman.
00:22:02.68\00:22:05.15
King Solomon recognized this and
gave the mother her baby back.
00:22:05.19\00:22:09.22
After this, all
Israel recognized the wise
00:22:09.26\00:22:12.86
judgments of Solomon.
00:22:12.89\00:22:14.40
Let's go over to our
memory verse in James 1:5,
00:22:14.43\00:22:17.43
and let's read it together.
00:22:17.47\00:22:18.90
And for the children
at home, James is found
00:22:18.93\00:22:21.04
in the New Testament.
00:22:21.07\00:22:22.60
Okay, let's read that...
00:22:22.64\00:22:24.31
If we pray to God and ask
for wisdom like King Solomon,
00:22:36.32\00:22:40.62
God will grant
us wisdom as well.
00:22:40.66\00:22:44.03
What an amazing promise!
00:22:44.06\00:22:45.39
Sophie, can you please read our
00:22:45.43\00:22:47.43
last verse in 1
Kings 4:29-30 and 34.
00:22:47.46\00:22:53.13
"And God gave Solomon
wisdom and exceedingly great
00:22:53.17\00:22:57.01
understanding and
largeness of heart like the sand
00:22:57.04\00:23:00.48
on the seashore.
00:23:00.51\00:23:01.84
Thus Solomon's wisdom
excelled the wisdom of
00:23:01.88\00:23:05.45
all the men of the east
and all the wisdom of Egypt.
00:23:05.48\00:23:09.45
And men of all nations
from all the kings of the
00:23:09.48\00:23:12.62
earth who had heard of
his wisdom came to hear the
00:23:12.65\00:23:16.59
wisdom of
Solomon." Thanks Sophie.
00:23:16.62\00:23:19.23
God really did
answer Solomon's prayer.
00:23:19.26\00:23:21.86
Let's look at our torch
light, Mrs. White's writings
00:23:21.90\00:23:24.63
to see what they
shine on these verses.
00:23:24.67\00:23:27.07
Mia, can you
please read that for us.
00:23:27.10\00:23:29.14
"The name of Jehovah
was greatly honored during
00:23:29.17\00:23:32.11
the first part
of Solomon's reign.
00:23:32.14\00:23:34.98
The wisdom and righteousness
revealed by the king
00:23:35.01\00:23:37.98
bore witness to all
nations of the excellency
00:23:38.01\00:23:42.18
of the attributes
of God whom he served.
00:23:42.22\00:23:46.05
For a time, Israel was
as a light of the world
00:23:46.09\00:23:51.56
showing forth the
greatness of Jehovah."
00:23:51.59\00:23:53.93
Wow, so Solomon's wisdom
was always to glorify God.
00:23:53.96\00:23:59.73
Thank you boys and girls
for reading along with us.
00:23:59.77\00:24:02.10

00:24:42.74\00:24:45.05
Auntie Nat, what are we
going to learn about next week?
00:24:45.08\00:24:47.68
Sure, yes, next week -
next Sabbath, we are going to
00:24:47.72\00:24:51.49
study about a
very special building
00:24:51.52\00:24:53.62
that King Solomon built.
00:24:53.66\00:24:55.02
Have a look in your Bibles
and see if you can work it out.
00:24:55.06\00:24:57.93
Aunty Cecily, can we
go over our memory verse
00:24:57.96\00:25:00.46
that we learnt in our
Bible study today? Yes.
00:25:00.50\00:25:02.53
Would you like to say
that all together? James 1:5...
00:25:02.56\00:25:07.27
Guess what kids?
00:25:20.68\00:25:22.02
We've come to the end of
another worship time and it's
00:25:22.05\00:25:24.82
gone so quickly today!
00:25:24.85\00:25:26.72
Bethany, what did you
learn about the king today?
00:25:26.76\00:25:29.22
That we pray for wisdom
just like King Solomon did.
00:25:29.26\00:25:31.83
Yes, we sure can and it's
a prayer God loves to answer.
00:25:31.86\00:25:36.16
Auntie Cecily, do
you think we're ready
00:25:36.20\00:25:37.63
to sing our goodbye song?
00:25:37.67\00:25:39.13
I do, would you like
to turn around and sing
00:25:39.17\00:25:41.44
to the boys and girls at home?
00:25:41.47\00:25:43.74
May God bless you and
keep you and fill your
00:25:49.44\00:25:56.85
heart with love.
00:25:56.89\00:25:59.79
May God guide and protect you
00:25:59.82\00:26:04.66
and watch you from above.
00:26:04.69\00:26:10.07
As Sabbath after Sabbath
00:26:10.10\00:26:15.17
we greet the Day of Rest,
00:26:15.20\00:26:20.11
The day the King of Glory
00:26:20.14\00:26:25.35
has sanctified and blessed.
00:26:25.38\00:26:30.52

My favorite story in
the Bible is Noah's Ark
00:26:50.57\00:26:54.54
because he obeyed God,
00:26:54.58\00:26:56.21
and all the animals
were saved in the ark.
00:26:56.24\00:26:59.21
My favorite story in the
Bible is about the 12 spies,
00:27:00.55\00:27:03.75
and how Caleb and Joshua
stood up in front of everybody.

00:27:09.96\00:27:13.06
