Hello there, happy
Sabbath. Come on in.
00:00:01.46\00:00:03.73
We're about to
meet with the King.
00:00:03.77\00:00:05.37
Hello, I'm Aunty Cecily.
00:00:50.71\00:00:52.31
And I'm Aunty Nat.
00:00:52.35\00:00:53.78
And we're so glad
you've come back to join us
00:00:53.82\00:00:55.88
in our worship time.
00:00:55.92\00:00:57.32
And it's great to have
the children with us here.
00:00:57.35\00:01:00.02
How's your week been?
00:01:00.06\00:01:01.62
Yes, Bryce.
00:01:01.66\00:01:02.99
I got to go to my
nana and pops play farm.
00:01:03.02\00:01:05.43
His farm? And
what's on the farm.
00:01:05.46\00:01:07.56
There's chickens,
goats and veggies.
00:01:07.60\00:01:09.90
Oh, that's wonderful.
I love visiting farms.
00:01:09.93\00:01:13.03
And we've also got Teddy
with us again on this sofa,
00:01:13.07\00:01:15.64
it's lovely to
have you with us, Teddy.
00:01:15.67\00:01:19.07
Aunty Nat, could you
please say a prayer for us
00:01:19.11\00:01:21.48
to open our worship time?
00:01:21.51\00:01:22.84
Sure, I'd love to.
00:01:22.88\00:01:24.88
Dearest Heavenly Father,
00:01:24.91\00:01:26.25
we just praise
and thank Your name
00:01:26.28\00:01:27.78
that You've brought us
safely through another week.
00:01:27.82\00:01:30.32
We thank You that we're all here
00:01:30.35\00:01:31.75
to open Your Sabbath with You.
00:01:31.79\00:01:33.86
And we ask a special
blessing on the children
00:01:33.89\00:01:35.99
watching at home,
in Jesus' name, amen.
00:01:36.02\00:01:39.39
Amen. Thanks, Aunty Nat.
00:01:39.43\00:01:41.33
Now, let's see
00:01:41.36\00:01:42.70
what our next key
to the kingdom is.
00:01:42.73\00:01:44.10
Bethany, would
you like to tell us?
00:01:44.13\00:01:45.90
Share God's love.
And what's the text?
00:01:49.17\00:01:52.27
Matthew 20:28. Thanks, Bethany.
00:01:52.31\00:01:54.98
Ellen, could you please
read that for us that text?
00:01:55.01\00:01:57.61
Sure.
00:01:57.65\00:01:58.98
"The Son of man did
not come to be served,
00:01:59.01\00:02:01.48
but to serve,
00:02:01.52\00:02:02.85
and to give his
life a ransom for many."
00:02:02.88\00:02:05.92
Thanks, Ellen.
00:02:05.95\00:02:07.29
Over the past two
Sabbaths we've discovered
00:02:07.32\00:02:09.79
why it is
important to follow Jesus
00:02:09.82\00:02:12.79
and to grow to be like Him.
00:02:12.83\00:02:15.06
One of the important ways
we can follow Jesus' example
00:02:15.10\00:02:19.03
is to share
God's love with others.
00:02:19.07\00:02:21.90
When we share God's love
00:02:21.94\00:02:23.41
through helping
and caring for others,
00:02:23.44\00:02:25.91
really good things happen.
00:02:25.94\00:02:28.61
Those whose
hearts are touched by us
00:02:28.64\00:02:30.95
sharing God's love with them,
have heaven opened to them.
00:02:30.98\00:02:35.52
Also, when we share
God's love with others,
00:02:35.55\00:02:37.82
it helps us to grow
to be more like Jesus.
00:02:37.85\00:02:41.19
So there's nothing
more exciting and satisfying
00:02:41.22\00:02:44.46
than sharing God's love.
00:02:44.49\00:02:46.63
Sharing God's love
can be as simple as
00:02:46.66\00:02:49.13
what these children are doing.
00:02:49.16\00:02:51.40
This girl's
helping somebody vacuuming.
00:02:51.43\00:02:53.97
You know, you
could help somebody
00:02:54.00\00:02:55.67
who's elderly or not well,
00:02:55.70\00:02:57.64
and help them
clean up their house.
00:02:57.67\00:03:00.88
Or you could help
them with the washing up
00:03:00.91\00:03:03.88
or helping them in the garden
00:03:03.91\00:03:05.28
or there's a number of things
you could do, isn't there?
00:03:05.31\00:03:08.35
So when we do things for others,
00:03:08.38\00:03:10.55
God is honored.
00:03:10.59\00:03:12.32
For it says in Matthew 5:16,
00:03:12.35\00:03:14.96
"Let your light
shine before men,
00:03:14.99\00:03:17.39
that they may
see your good works
00:03:17.43\00:03:19.73
and glorify your
Father which is in heaven."
00:03:19.76\00:03:23.26
Later in our Bible study,
00:03:23.30\00:03:25.03
we'll learn of
the service of Elijah,
00:03:25.07\00:03:27.80
and how he humbly stood
for God in a great crisis,
00:03:27.84\00:03:32.47
and help draw the
people of Israel back to God.
00:03:32.51\00:03:36.01
So as we spend time
with the Kingly Sabbath,
00:03:36.04\00:03:39.11
let's ask Him for a
spirit of love and service
00:03:39.15\00:03:42.42
to bless others in our family
00:03:42.45\00:03:44.69
and our neighborhood
or perhaps at school.
00:03:44.72\00:03:47.46
Let's follow Jesus'
example, and share God's love.
00:03:47.49\00:03:51.99
Thanks, Aunty Cecily.
00:03:52.03\00:03:53.70
Sharing God's love
not only blesses others,
00:03:53.73\00:03:57.03
but is also a blessing to us.
00:03:57.07\00:03:59.33
I can see that Braedan is here.
00:03:59.37\00:04:01.90
And I thank you, Braden,
00:04:01.94\00:04:03.37
for sharing your
music with us today.
00:04:03.41\00:04:06.34
Hi, boys and girls,
let's sing "This is the day."
00:04:06.37\00:04:10.81
This is the day This is the day
00:04:10.85\00:04:14.32
That the Lord has
made That the Lord has made
00:04:14.35\00:04:18.62
We will rejoice We will rejoice

00:04:26.13\00:04:29.86
We will rejoice
And be glad in it
00:04:29.90\00:04:33.70
This is the day, this is the day
00:04:33.74\00:04:37.01
That the Lord has made
00:04:37.04\00:04:41.31
This is the day, this is the day
00:04:41.34\00:04:44.61
That the Lord has

00:04:44.65\00:04:48.92
We will rejoice We will rejoice
00:04:48.95\00:04:52.25
And be glad in
it And be glad in it
00:04:52.29\00:04:56.42
This is the day
That the Lord has made
00:04:56.46\00:05:00.20
We will rejoice
And be glad in it
00:05:00.23\00:05:04.03
This is the day, this is the day
00:05:04.07\00:05:07.37
That the Lord has made
00:05:07.40\00:05:13.07
Braedan, could we please sing
"This little light of mine?"
00:05:13.11\00:05:15.71
We certainly can.
00:05:15.74\00:05:18.41
This little light of mine
00:05:18.45\00:05:21.12
I'm gonna let it shine
00:05:21.15\00:05:23.45
This little light of mine
00:05:23.49\00:05:25.79
I'm gonna let it shine
00:05:25.82\00:05:27.72
Let it shine, let
it shine Let it shine
00:05:27.76\00:05:32.86
Don't let Satan blow it out
00:05:32.89\00:05:35.36
I'm gonna let it shine
00:05:35.40\00:05:37.77
Don't let Satan blow it out
00:05:37.80\00:05:40.17
I'm gonna let it shine
00:05:40.20\00:05:41.94
Let it shine Let it shine
00:05:41.97\00:05:44.41
Let it shine
00:05:44.44\00:05:48.41
Braedan, can we sing
"Shine just where you are?"
00:05:48.44\00:05:51.11
We certainly can.
Let's sing it together.
00:05:51.15\00:05:53.15
Shine, shine, just where you are
00:05:57.69\00:06:02.26
Shine, shine, just where you are
00:06:02.29\00:06:06.56
Send forth the
light into the night
00:06:06.59\00:06:11.00
Shine for the Lord
where you are And again.
00:06:11.03\00:06:15.34
Shine, shine, just where you are
00:06:15.37\00:06:19.84
Shine, shine, just where you are
00:06:19.87\00:06:24.05
Send forth the
light into the night
00:06:24.08\00:06:28.58
Shine for the Lord where you are
00:06:28.62\00:06:33.49
Thanks, Braedan.
00:06:33.52\00:06:34.86
Won't it be wonderful
00:06:34.89\00:06:36.22
when we get to sing
with the angels in heaven?
00:06:36.26\00:06:38.53
And now it's time for
another story from Dr. John.
00:06:38.56\00:06:41.56
Do you want to see
00:06:41.60\00:06:42.93
what Dr. John's
up to in his study?
00:06:42.96\00:06:44.97
Yes.
00:06:45.00\00:06:46.33
Well, let's go
and find Dr. John.
00:06:46.37\00:06:48.74
Hello, boys and girls.
00:06:48.77\00:06:50.21
Isn't it wonderful
to be back together?
00:06:50.24\00:06:52.67
And I want to say
00:06:52.71\00:06:54.04
hello to all the
boys and girls in China
00:06:54.08\00:06:57.11
because when you
have a name like Poon Lim,
00:06:57.15\00:07:01.08
you've got to be Chinese.
00:07:01.12\00:07:02.52
I got a picture of Poon Lim,
00:07:02.55\00:07:05.22
he was quite handsome.
00:07:05.25\00:07:07.49
Well dressed
00:07:07.52\00:07:09.46
but the last picture
I show you in the story,
00:07:09.49\00:07:12.66
he doesn't look nearly
as well dressed as this.
00:07:12.69\00:07:16.33
He worked on a boat
00:07:16.36\00:07:18.67
during the Second World
War so this story happened
00:07:18.70\00:07:22.07
about 70 years ago,
00:07:22.10\00:07:24.24
and he was on a boat
called the Benlomond.
00:07:24.27\00:07:28.08
He was second steward,
00:07:28.11\00:07:30.61
and he was having
breakfast one day,
00:07:30.65\00:07:34.15
and he didn't realize
00:07:34.18\00:07:36.48
that a submarine had
been following the boat
00:07:36.52\00:07:40.62
and aimed a
torpedo and fired it.
00:07:40.66\00:07:45.09
And Poon Lim was
having breakfast.
00:07:45.13\00:07:47.83
And all of a sudden,
00:07:47.86\00:07:49.46
there was a massive bang,
00:07:49.50\00:07:53.17
and he was blown off his seat
00:07:53.20\00:07:57.11
into the water.
00:07:57.14\00:07:59.91
And when he got to the
surface and looked around,
00:07:59.94\00:08:03.45
he was the only person
there, the only survivor.
00:08:03.48\00:08:07.58
He couldn't swim,
00:08:07.62\00:08:09.08
at least, he
thought he couldn't swim,
00:08:09.12\00:08:11.15
he dog pedaled.
00:08:11.19\00:08:12.85
And he got on to a life raft.
00:08:12.89\00:08:15.72
And we actually have a
picture of his life raft.
00:08:15.76\00:08:20.76
Just a little float and a roof.
00:08:20.80\00:08:24.77
He had just a little bit
of water and some biscuits,
00:08:24.80\00:08:27.47
they only lasted
a couple of days.
00:08:27.50\00:08:30.11
And then he got nothing.
00:08:30.14\00:08:31.91
Every time it rained,
00:08:31.94\00:08:33.91
he would gather the water there,
00:08:33.94\00:08:36.38
and the canvas.
00:08:36.41\00:08:38.18
He started to get hungry
00:08:38.21\00:08:39.55
so he undid a bit of the canvas,
00:08:39.58\00:08:42.72
and he made a fishing line.
00:08:42.75\00:08:45.25
And he got a bit of a torch
00:08:45.29\00:08:47.09
and he bent the wire round
00:08:47.12\00:08:50.13
and he made a fishing hook.
00:08:50.16\00:08:52.26
And he dangled
it over the water,
00:08:52.29\00:08:54.63
but no fish were biting.
00:08:54.66\00:08:56.30
Why weren't the fish biting?
00:08:56.33\00:08:59.17
What do you need?
00:08:59.20\00:09:00.90
Bait. Right.
00:09:00.94\00:09:02.87
He had no bait.
00:09:02.90\00:09:04.31
What do you do
when you got no bait?
00:09:04.34\00:09:09.24
He finally decided
00:09:09.28\00:09:10.61
he was going to have
to use part of his body.
00:09:10.65\00:09:16.18
Which part would you use?
00:09:16.22\00:09:18.25
He had a knife
made from a bit of tin.
00:09:18.29\00:09:21.99
There's always the ear.
00:09:22.02\00:09:23.36
There's always a toe.
00:09:26.33\00:09:29.00
He decided on a little finger.
00:09:29.03\00:09:32.80
And so he looked at it.
00:09:32.83\00:09:35.60
Goodbye finger.
00:09:35.64\00:09:37.64
Put it in his mouth
00:09:37.67\00:09:40.78
and it was gonna
be really painful.
00:09:40.81\00:09:43.71
All of a sudden he
heard a flap of wings
00:09:43.75\00:09:46.95
and it was a seagull,
00:09:46.98\00:09:48.65
landed just out of reach.
00:09:48.68\00:09:51.39
Very carefully he put his hand,
00:09:51.42\00:09:54.39
it took him nearly half an hour.
00:09:54.42\00:09:56.32
Slowly, slowly,
and he grabbed it.
00:09:56.36\00:09:59.23
You got afraid.
00:09:59.26\00:10:00.73
You didn't get a
biggest fright as a seagull.
00:10:00.76\00:10:04.13
It might sound a bit
yucky but he drank the blood,
00:10:04.17\00:10:08.04
he now had bait and
he started to catch fish.
00:10:08.07\00:10:12.97
And he kept a bit
of bait every time
00:10:13.01\00:10:16.11
and he fished some more.
00:10:16.14\00:10:18.01
And every time it rained,
00:10:18.05\00:10:19.38
he would gather a bit
00:10:19.41\00:10:21.22
and he was on that boat,
00:10:21.25\00:10:23.99
that little life raft by himself
00:10:24.02\00:10:26.69
for 133 days.
00:10:26.72\00:10:30.06
He set a world record
00:10:30.09\00:10:33.60
and he finally was
picked up by some fishermen
00:10:33.63\00:10:37.10
on the far side of the ocean.
00:10:37.13\00:10:40.07
Remember how handsome
he was at the beginning?
00:10:40.10\00:10:43.47
He's grown a beard.
00:10:43.51\00:10:45.51
And his clothes are ragged
00:10:45.54\00:10:47.68
but because he was so smart,
00:10:47.71\00:10:51.08
he was able to
walk ashore unassisted
00:10:51.11\00:10:56.02
and when he got home
00:10:56.05\00:10:57.39
because of his
ability not to panic,
00:10:57.42\00:11:02.29
he was taken to England.
00:11:02.32\00:11:04.39
And he stood before
the King of England,
00:11:04.43\00:11:07.96
who gave him the
British Empire medal
00:11:08.00\00:11:11.83
for being smart,
00:11:11.87\00:11:13.60
and they got him to
write a book on survival.
00:11:13.64\00:11:17.47
But you know why he lived?
00:11:17.51\00:11:20.98
Not just because he was smart.
00:11:21.01\00:11:23.85
He lived because
he always believed
00:11:23.88\00:11:28.25
that he would live.
00:11:28.28\00:11:30.45
It is called faith.
00:11:30.49\00:11:32.62
He said, no matter what happens,
00:11:32.65\00:11:34.32
I will never ever
give up the thought
00:11:34.36\00:11:37.69
that I will be saved.
00:11:37.73\00:11:39.93
Now, there's a
lesson there for us.
00:11:39.96\00:11:43.30
We don't want to
ever give up believing
00:11:43.33\00:11:46.30
that we'll be saved
by the Lord Jesus Christ
00:11:46.33\00:11:48.77
'cause many people die,
00:11:48.80\00:11:50.17
because they
haven't got their faith.
00:11:50.21\00:11:52.27
Thank you, boys and girls.
00:11:52.31\00:11:54.14
Hello, welcome back.
It's time for our Bible study.
00:11:54.18\00:11:56.88
I hope you have
your Bibles ready
00:11:56.91\00:11:58.28
so you can follow along with us.
00:11:58.31\00:12:00.12
Mia, can you
please say a prayer for us
00:12:00.15\00:12:01.92
before we commence our study?
00:12:01.95\00:12:04.15
Dear Father,
thank You for our Bibles
00:12:04.19\00:12:06.65
in which we can
learn so much about You.
00:12:06.69\00:12:09.79
Help us to understand
what we read in our Bibles,
00:12:09.82\00:12:13.73
please be with the children
who are joining us at home.
00:12:13.76\00:12:17.00
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:12:17.03\00:12:18.37
Amen. Thank you, Mia.
00:12:18.40\00:12:20.74
Now, Erin, what did we
learn about last Sabbath?
00:12:20.77\00:12:23.24
That the kingdom of
Israel split in two,
00:12:23.27\00:12:26.41
after King Solomon died.
00:12:26.44\00:12:27.78
Yes it did, didn't it?
00:12:27.81\00:12:29.14
And who was the wicked king
that brought in Baal worship?
00:12:29.18\00:12:31.58
King Ahab.
00:12:31.61\00:12:32.98
And who was the
prophet that God sent?
00:12:33.01\00:12:35.15
Elijah. Elijah.
00:12:35.18\00:12:36.55
Thank you, Erin.
00:12:36.58\00:12:38.49
Well, now
Elijah was a wanted man
00:12:38.52\00:12:41.69
and King Ahab had people
out looking for him everywhere.
00:12:41.72\00:12:47.23
But at this time
remember there was a drought
00:12:47.26\00:12:49.96
and it was very severe and
we left off last week study
00:12:50.00\00:12:54.00
with God directing
Elijah to go up to Zarephath
00:12:54.04\00:12:57.37
which was up in Phoenicia.
00:12:57.41\00:12:58.77
Can you just show us
where that is, Aunty Cecily?
00:12:58.81\00:13:01.04
Way up there.
00:13:01.08\00:13:02.88
Thank you.
00:13:02.91\00:13:04.25
Now, Erin, you're gonna
commence our reading today.
00:13:04.28\00:13:06.61
Can you please
read 1 Kings 17:10-12?
00:13:06.65\00:13:10.79
"So he arose and
went to Zarephath.
00:13:10.82\00:13:13.19
And when he came to
the gate of the city,
00:13:13.22\00:13:16.06
indeed a widow was
there gathering sticks.
00:13:16.09\00:13:18.69
And he called to her and said,
00:13:18.73\00:13:20.50
'Please bring me a little water
in a cup, that I may drink.'
00:13:20.53\00:13:24.17
And as she was going to get
it, he called to her and said,
00:13:24.20\00:13:27.40
'Please bring me a
morsel of bread in your hand.'
00:13:27.44\00:13:30.14
So she said, 'As
the Lord your God lives,
00:13:30.17\00:13:32.87
I do not have bread,
00:13:32.91\00:13:34.24
only a handful
of flour in a bin,
00:13:34.28\00:13:36.44
and a little oil in a jar,
00:13:36.48\00:13:38.28
and see, I am
gathering a couple of sticks
00:13:38.31\00:13:40.88
that I may go in and prepare
it for myself and my son,
00:13:40.92\00:13:44.45
that we may eat it, and die.'"
00:13:44.49\00:13:46.15
Oh, dear. Things are not good.
00:13:46.19\00:13:48.92
Elijah told her not to be afraid
00:13:48.96\00:13:51.36
and reassured her
00:13:51.39\00:13:53.09
that her food would not run out.
00:13:53.13\00:13:54.86
Caleb, can you
please read verses 15 to 16?
00:13:54.90\00:13:59.33
"So she went away
00:13:59.37\00:14:00.74
and did according
to the word of Elijah,
00:14:00.77\00:14:03.37
and she and he and her household
00:14:03.41\00:14:05.47
ate for many days.
00:14:05.51\00:14:06.98
The bin of
flour was not used up,
00:14:07.01\00:14:08.88
nor did the jar of oil run dry,
00:14:08.91\00:14:11.41
according to
the word of the Lord
00:14:11.45\00:14:13.01
which He spoke by Elijah."
00:14:13.05\00:14:15.45
What an amazing
miracle God performed.
00:14:15.48\00:14:18.65
Now after some time
00:14:18.69\00:14:21.86
the widow's only son got sick
00:14:21.89\00:14:24.23
and he died and she cried
out in great distress to Elijah.
00:14:24.26\00:14:28.70
Let's see what Elijah does.
00:14:28.73\00:14:30.23
Bethany, can you please read
00:14:30.27\00:14:31.73
1 Kings 17:21-22?
00:14:31.77\00:14:35.77
"And he stretched himself
out on the child three times,
00:14:35.80\00:14:38.71
and cried out to
the Lord and said,
00:14:38.74\00:14:40.84
'O Lord my God, I pray,
00:14:40.88\00:14:42.84
let this child's
soul come back to him.'
00:14:42.88\00:14:45.25
Then the Lord heard
the voice of Elijah,
00:14:45.28\00:14:47.18
and the soul of the
child came back to him,
00:14:47.22\00:14:49.18
and he revived."
00:14:49.22\00:14:50.55
Wow, so God through Elijah
raised the widow's son to life.
00:14:50.59\00:14:55.19
1 Kings 18:1 tells us
00:14:55.22\00:14:58.63
that the drought
lasted three years.
00:14:58.66\00:15:01.83
And God told Elijah to go
present himself to King Ahab,
00:15:01.86\00:15:06.50
which would have been
somewhere down at Samaria.
00:15:06.53\00:15:09.30
Can you please show
us Samaria, Aunty Cecily?
00:15:09.34\00:15:11.57
There we go, on the map.
00:15:11.61\00:15:13.34
Okay, Sophie,
can you please read
00:15:13.38\00:15:15.38
1 Kings 18:17-19?
00:15:15.41\00:15:18.81
"Then it happened,
when Ahab saw Elijah,
00:15:18.85\00:15:21.75
that Ahab said to him
00:15:21.78\00:15:23.12
'Is that you, O
troubler of Israel?'
00:15:23.15\00:15:25.45
And he answered, 'I
have not troubled Israel,
00:15:25.49\00:15:28.12
but you and your
father's house have,
00:15:28.16\00:15:30.09
in that you have forsaken
the commandments of the Lord
00:15:30.13\00:15:33.26
and have followed the Baals.
00:15:33.29\00:15:35.26
Now therefore,
00:15:35.30\00:15:36.63
send and gather all
Israel to me on Mount Carmel,
00:15:36.67\00:15:39.70
the four hundred and
fifty prophets of Baal,
00:15:39.73\00:15:42.57
and the four
hundred prophets of Asherah,
00:15:42.60\00:15:45.14
who eat at Jezebel's table.'"
00:15:45.17\00:15:46.81
So where was Elijah
wanting everyone to go?
00:15:46.84\00:15:50.31
Mount Carmel.
00:15:50.35\00:15:52.25
Aunty Cecily, can
you please show us
00:15:52.28\00:15:54.08
where Mount
Carmel is on the map?
00:15:54.12\00:15:55.92
Way up there on the point.
00:15:55.95\00:15:57.82
So King Ahab summoned all
of Israel to Mount Carmel.
00:15:57.85\00:16:02.29
Elijah spoke to
the false prophets
00:16:02.32\00:16:04.33
and proposed a test
00:16:04.36\00:16:06.56
to see who was the true God.
00:16:06.59\00:16:08.90
Let's see what he said to them.
00:16:08.93\00:16:10.37
Matthew, can you please read
00:16:10.40\00:16:12.23
1 Kings 18:25-26?
00:16:12.27\00:16:15.90
"Now Elijah said to
the prophets of Baal,
00:16:15.94\00:16:18.77
'Choose one bull for yourselves
00:16:18.81\00:16:20.74
and prepare it
first, for you are many,
00:16:20.78\00:16:23.35
and call on the
name of your god,
00:16:23.38\00:16:25.85
but put no fire under it.'
00:16:25.88\00:16:28.35
So they took the
bull which was given them,
00:16:28.38\00:16:30.92
and they prepared it,
00:16:30.95\00:16:32.32
and called on the name of Baal
from morning even till noon,
00:16:32.35\00:16:36.16
saying, 'O Baal, hear us!'
00:16:36.19\00:16:38.23
But there was no
voice, no one answered.
00:16:38.26\00:16:41.83
Then they leaped about the altar
00:16:46.53\00:16:48.74
which they had made."
00:16:48.77\00:16:50.11
Yeah, well done, Matty.
00:16:50.14\00:16:51.47
So the false
prophets prepared an altar
00:16:51.51\00:16:54.54
to their so called Baal god
00:16:54.58\00:16:56.68
and called out
to him all morning
00:16:56.71\00:16:59.95
to come and
consume their sacrifice.
00:16:59.98\00:17:02.55
Did he show up?
00:17:02.58\00:17:03.92
No. No.
00:17:03.95\00:17:05.29
Let's see what
Elijah said to them.
00:17:05.32\00:17:06.86
Mia, can you
read 1 Kings 18:27-29?
00:17:06.89\00:17:11.99
"And so it was, at noon,
00:17:12.03\00:17:13.36
that Elijah
mocked them and said,
00:17:13.40\00:17:15.26
'Cry aloud, for he is a
god, either he is meditating,
00:17:15.30\00:17:19.33
or he is busy, or
he is on a journey,
00:17:19.37\00:17:21.90
or perhaps he is
sleeping and must be awakened.'
00:17:21.94\00:17:25.44
So they cried
aloud, and cut themselves,
00:17:25.47\00:17:27.61
as was their custom,
with knives and lances,
00:17:27.64\00:17:31.45
until the blood
gushed out on them.
00:17:31.48\00:17:34.15
And when midday was past,
00:17:34.18\00:17:36.48
they prophesied until
the time of the offering
00:17:36.52\00:17:40.19
of the evening sacrifice.
00:17:40.22\00:17:41.96
But there was no
voice, no one answered,
00:17:41.99\00:17:44.19
no one paid attention."
00:17:44.23\00:17:46.23
Wow, so those false
prophets got themselves
00:17:46.26\00:17:48.80
so worked up around their altar,
00:17:48.83\00:17:50.67
they actually cut
themselves and screamed
00:17:50.70\00:17:52.97
and carried on until they
were absolutely exhausted.
00:17:53.00\00:17:56.60
Their behavior really
shocked the Israelites
00:17:56.64\00:17:59.51
and they've finally realized
what they had been worshipping.
00:17:59.54\00:18:03.68
If we were to read on
00:18:03.71\00:18:05.05
Elijah called the
people to come close to him,
00:18:05.08\00:18:07.88
and he quietly and
reverently prepared his altar,
00:18:07.92\00:18:11.09
he got three lots of water
00:18:11.12\00:18:13.02
and poured it all
over the sacrifice.
00:18:13.05\00:18:15.79
Let's see what happened.
00:18:15.82\00:18:17.16
Aunty Cecily,
can you please read
00:18:17.19\00:18:18.86
1 Kings 18:36-37?
00:18:18.89\00:18:22.96
"And it came to pass,
00:18:23.00\00:18:24.33
at the time of the offering
of the evening sacrifice,
00:18:24.37\00:18:28.24
that Elijah the
prophet came near and said,
00:18:28.27\00:18:31.97
'Lord God of
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel,
00:18:32.01\00:18:35.84
let it be known this day
that You are God in Israel
00:18:35.88\00:18:39.98
and I am Your servant,
00:18:40.02\00:18:42.02
and that I have done all
these things at Your word.
00:18:42.05\00:18:46.39
Hear me, O Lord, hear me,
00:18:46.42\00:18:48.89
that this people may know
that You are the Lord God,
00:18:48.92\00:18:53.33
and that You have turned
their hearts back to You again."
00:18:53.36\00:18:57.57
Now, did Elijah leap
and yell around his altar?
00:18:57.60\00:19:00.90
No. No.
00:19:00.94\00:19:02.27
He just knelt
down and prayed to God.
00:19:02.30\00:19:04.54
Erin, can you please
read 1 Kings 18:38-39?
00:19:04.57\00:19:09.78
"Then the fire of the Lord fell
00:19:09.81\00:19:11.51
and consumed
the burnt sacrifice,
00:19:11.55\00:19:13.78
and the wood and
the stones and the dust,
00:19:13.82\00:19:16.15
and it licked up the
water that was in the trench.
00:19:16.18\00:19:19.12
Now when all the people saw
it, they fell on their faces,
00:19:19.15\00:19:22.39
and they said,
'The Lord, He is God!
00:19:22.42\00:19:24.66
The Lord, He is God.'"
00:19:24.69\00:19:26.03
Wow.
00:19:26.06\00:19:27.40
So God accepted the sacrifice,
00:19:27.43\00:19:28.90
and God's fire
came down from heaven,
00:19:28.93\00:19:31.97
and He even burnt up
the stones and the water.
00:19:32.00\00:19:35.67
All of Israel finally repented
00:19:35.70\00:19:37.81
and acknowledged
God as the true God.
00:19:37.84\00:19:41.14
Even though the false prophets
witness the great power of God,
00:19:41.18\00:19:45.11
they still chose not to repent
and they died for their sins.
00:19:45.15\00:19:49.45
If we were to continue to read,
00:19:49.48\00:19:51.02
Elijah went and prayed to God
to send the long awaited rain.
00:19:51.05\00:19:55.42
Let's see what
Elijah told his servant.
00:19:55.46\00:19:58.33
Caleb, can you please
read 1 Kings 18:43-44?
00:19:58.36\00:20:03.70
"And said to his servant,
00:20:03.73\00:20:05.37
'Go up now,
look toward the sea.'
00:20:05.40\00:20:07.80
So he went up and looked,
and said, 'There is nothing.'
00:20:07.84\00:20:11.11
And seven times
he said, 'Go again.'
00:20:11.14\00:20:13.38
Then it came to
pass the seventh time,
00:20:13.41\00:20:15.54
that he said,
00:20:15.58\00:20:16.91
'There is a cloud, as
small as a man's hand,
00:20:16.95\00:20:18.85
rising out of the sea!'
00:20:18.88\00:20:20.55
So he said, 'Go up, say to Ahab,
00:20:20.58\00:20:23.79
'Prepare your chariot,
00:20:23.82\00:20:25.15
and go down before
the rain stops you.'"
00:20:25.19\00:20:27.36
Wow.
00:20:27.39\00:20:28.72
So Elijah prayed how many times?
00:20:28.76\00:20:30.93
Seven.
00:20:30.96\00:20:32.29
Seven times before his
servants came back and told him
00:20:32.33\00:20:35.80
that he could
see a dark rain cloud
00:20:35.83\00:20:37.97
in the distance.
00:20:38.00\00:20:39.33
Elijah persevered in
prayer and didn't give up.
00:20:39.37\00:20:42.94
Let's have a look
at our memory verse
00:20:42.97\00:20:44.81
in Colossians 4:2.
00:20:44.84\00:20:46.68
And for the boys
and girls at home
00:20:46.71\00:20:48.04
Colossians is in
the New Testament.
00:20:48.08\00:20:50.35
Let's read that together.
00:20:50.38\00:20:52.21
"Continue earnestly in prayer,
00:20:52.25\00:20:55.18
being vigilant in
it with thanksgiving."
00:20:55.22\00:20:59.15
So we are also
encouraged to pray
00:20:59.19\00:21:02.52
and not to give up.
00:21:02.56\00:21:04.23
Well, the rains came
and the drought was broken.
00:21:04.26\00:21:07.56
When King Ahab told Jezebel
that her prophets had failed,
00:21:07.60\00:21:11.77
she was furious.
00:21:11.80\00:21:14.54
Jezebel was so angry
00:21:14.57\00:21:16.10
that she threatened
to have Elijah killed.
00:21:16.14\00:21:18.97
When Elijah heard the news,
00:21:19.01\00:21:20.74
he ran all the way to Beersheba.
00:21:20.78\00:21:24.01
Let's have a look at on our map,
00:21:24.05\00:21:25.41
Aunty Cecily, can
you show us Jezreel
00:21:25.45\00:21:28.12
and he ran all the
way down to Beersheba,
00:21:28.15\00:21:31.15
which is about 140 kilometers.
00:21:31.19\00:21:33.79
Where he left his servant
00:21:33.82\00:21:35.22
and then he went a day's journey
00:21:35.26\00:21:37.63
out further in the wilderness.
00:21:37.66\00:21:39.43
Bethany, can you
please read 1 Kings 19:5-6?
00:21:39.46\00:21:44.20
"Then as he lay and
slept under a broom tree,
00:21:44.23\00:21:46.57
suddenly an angel touched
him, and said, 'Arise and eat.'
00:21:46.60\00:21:50.11
Then he looked,
00:21:50.14\00:21:51.47
and there by his head
was a cake baked on coals,
00:21:51.51\00:21:55.24
and a jar of water.
00:21:55.28\00:21:56.81
So he ate and
drank, and lay down again."
00:21:56.85\00:21:59.51
Thanks, Bethany.
00:21:59.55\00:22:00.88
So God in His mercy sent an
angel to minister to Elijah.
00:22:00.92\00:22:04.85
Verse 7 tells us the
angel fed Elijah a second time.
00:22:04.89\00:22:09.52
The food the angel
gave Elijah was so good
00:22:09.56\00:22:13.19
that it
sustained him for 40 days,
00:22:13.23\00:22:15.76
as he traveled to Mount Horeb,
00:22:15.80\00:22:17.80
or Mount Sinai as it is known.
00:22:17.83\00:22:20.30
Here God spoke to Elijah
00:22:20.34\00:22:22.64
and told him that he had
more work for Elijah to do.
00:22:22.67\00:22:26.64
Even though Elijah ran away,
00:22:26.68\00:22:28.94
God still loved him
00:22:28.98\00:22:30.95
and still wanted
to work through him.
00:22:30.98\00:22:33.42
Let's have a look
at our torchlight,
00:22:33.45\00:22:35.12
Mrs. White's writings
to see what those shine
00:22:35.15\00:22:37.59
on what we've been reading.
00:22:37.62\00:22:39.25
Sophie, can you
read that for us please?
00:22:39.29\00:22:42.29
"He who was Elijah's
strength is strong to uphold
00:22:42.32\00:22:45.63
every struggling child
of His, no matter how weak.
00:22:45.66\00:22:48.86
Of everyone He expects loyalty,
00:22:48.90\00:22:51.07
and to everyone He grants
power according to the need.
00:22:51.10\00:22:54.10
In his own strength
man is strengthless,
00:22:54.14\00:22:56.40
but in the might of God
00:22:56.44\00:22:57.77
he may be
strong to overcome evil
00:22:57.81\00:23:00.04
and to help others to overcome.
00:23:00.08\00:23:02.74
Satan can never
gain advantage of him
00:23:02.78\00:23:05.65
who makes God his defense."
00:23:05.68\00:23:07.68
Thanks, Sophie.
00:23:07.72\00:23:09.05
What an encouragement to us.
00:23:09.08\00:23:11.55
Thank you, boys and girls,
for reading along with us.
00:23:11.59\00:23:13.79
We have a devotional available
that goes into more depth
00:23:13.82\00:23:16.42
in what we studied today.
00:23:16.46\00:23:18.03
Here's how you can get that.
00:23:18.06\00:23:20.13
Hey, boys and
girls, as Aunty Nat said,
00:23:20.16\00:23:21.96
you can get
your own devotionals.
00:23:22.00\00:23:23.50
Yes, you can download them free

from our website

00:23:24.90\00:23:27.40
And, Anna, we can't
forget to tell the kids
00:23:27.44\00:23:29.27
to check out Teddy's blog.
00:23:29.30\00:23:30.77

behind the scene photos
00:23:30.81\00:23:32.44
of filming the program.
00:23:32.47\00:23:33.81
Yes.
00:23:33.84\00:23:35.18
And we also have
some photos of Teddy going

So hop online today!
00:23:50.16\00:23:52.46
Thanks, Kate and
Anna. Yes, boys and girls.
00:23:52.49\00:23:54.83
we love to hear from you,
drop us an email and say hello.
00:23:54.86\00:23:59.07
Aunty Nat, can you tell us
what we're going to be studying
00:23:59.10\00:24:01.14
about next week?
00:24:01.17\00:24:02.50
Yes, sure.
00:24:02.54\00:24:03.87
Next Sabbath,
00:24:03.91\00:24:05.24
we're going to study
about a few different things.
00:24:05.27\00:24:06.81
One of the things
we're going to look at
00:24:06.84\00:24:08.31
is someone going to
heaven in a fiery chariot.
00:24:08.34\00:24:11.38
Can you guess who that was?
00:24:11.41\00:24:13.05
Come back next Sabbath
and we will study about that.
00:24:13.08\00:24:15.95
Aunty Cecily, shall we
go over our memory verse
00:24:15.98\00:24:17.82
that we learned
in our study today?
00:24:17.85\00:24:19.39
Yes, let's say it
all together children.
00:24:19.42\00:24:21.79
Colossians 4:2,
00:24:21.82\00:24:24.46
"Continue earnestly in prayer,
00:24:24.49\00:24:27.73
being vigilant in
it with thanksgiving."
00:24:27.76\00:24:32.47
Ellen, we've come to the
end of another worship time.
00:24:32.50\00:24:35.40
What did you learn
about the King today?
00:24:35.44\00:24:37.97
We can share God's love
00:24:38.01\00:24:40.81
by helping others.
00:24:40.84\00:24:42.28
Yes.
00:24:42.31\00:24:43.65
And that's what Jesus did
when He came to this earth.
00:24:43.68\00:24:46.65
Jesus came to serve.
00:24:46.68\00:24:48.18
That's why Jesus'
sacrifice was so great.
00:24:48.22\00:24:51.72
Aunty Cecily,
are we ready to sing
00:24:51.75\00:24:53.09
our blessing song to
the children at home?
00:24:53.12\00:24:54.89
Yes.
00:24:54.92\00:24:56.26
Would you like to turn around
00:24:56.29\00:24:57.63
so we can sing to
the children at home?
00:24:57.66\00:24:58.99
May God bless you
00:25:05.30\00:25:07.87
And keep you
00:25:07.90\00:25:10.47
And fill your heart with love
00:25:10.51\00:25:15.51
May God guide and protect you
00:25:15.54\00:25:20.72
And watch you from above
00:25:20.75\00:25:25.89
And Sabbath after Sabbath
00:25:25.92\00:25:30.99
We greet the day of rest
00:25:31.03\00:25:36.13
The day the King of glory
00:25:36.16\00:25:41.30
Has sanctified and blessed
00:25:41.34\00:25:46.44
Goodbye my friend
till we meet again
00:25:46.47\00:25:51.61
For another day with the King
00:25:51.65\00:25:57.29
Goodbye! See you next Sabbath!
00:25:57.32\00:25:59.75
My favorite story in
the Bible was Noah's Ark
00:26:06.59\00:26:09.60
because he obeyed God
00:26:09.63\00:26:11.33
and all the animals
were saved in the ark.
00:26:11.37\00:26:15.94
My favorite story in the
Bible is about the 12 spies,
00:26:15.97\00:26:18.81
and how Caleb and Joshua
stood up in front of everybody.
00:26:18.84\00:26:21.94
My favorite story in the Bible
00:26:25.31\00:26:26.78
is Mary and
Joseph and baby Jesus,
00:26:26.82\00:26:29.18
'cause He's the
Savior of the world.
00:26:29.22\00:26:31.42
