Hello, boys and girls,
and welcome to Bible Buzz,
00:00:27.66\00:00:31.39
where we learn
from the B-I-B-L-E.
00:00:31.43\00:00:34.63
B-I-B-L-E!
00:00:34.66\00:00:36.06
And we have fun doing it.
00:00:36.10\00:00:37.63
Hi, my name is Christian Martin,
00:00:37.67\00:00:39.53
and I'm going to be
here hosting this fun
00:00:39.57\00:00:41.50
and exciting event
00:00:41.54\00:00:43.04
together with my sidekick, Neto.
00:00:43.07\00:00:45.31
Let's say "Hi, Neto!"
00:00:45.34\00:00:46.68
Hi, Neto! Hi, Neto.
00:00:46.71\00:00:48.34
Hi, everyone.
00:00:48.38\00:00:49.71
We're so glad
you're with us, Neto.
00:00:49.74\00:00:51.38
Did you have a
good day today so far?
00:00:51.41\00:00:52.75
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:00:52.78\00:00:54.12
I ate lunch. Good.
00:00:54.15\00:00:55.48
And there was food there,
and I ate it, and it was nice.
00:00:55.52\00:00:58.45
Excellent.
00:00:58.49\00:01:00.09
We like nice food, don't we?
00:01:00.12\00:01:02.16
Yeah. Nice food.
00:01:02.19\00:01:03.63
All right, very good.
00:01:03.66\00:01:04.99
Well, we're joined in
today by two awesome teams.
00:01:05.03\00:01:08.76
Let's welcome team
number one, The Cardinals.
00:01:08.80\00:01:13.00
All right, Cardinals.
00:01:13.03\00:01:15.04
We are so excited to
have the Cardinals with us.
00:01:15.07\00:01:17.17
And team number two, The Eagles.
00:01:17.21\00:01:19.81
Let's welcome The Eagles.
00:01:19.84\00:01:21.88
All right, and the Cardinals
and Eagles are joined today
00:01:21.91\00:01:25.98
by those viewing at home,
00:01:26.01\00:01:27.95
and we're so glad
you're with us here today.
00:01:27.98\00:01:30.39
We're going to have a fun time
taking a look at a Bible story,
00:01:30.42\00:01:33.76
and then we're going
to test your knowledge
00:01:33.79\00:01:36.16
to see how well you
remember the details.
00:01:36.19\00:01:38.73
And to help us in this event,
we have three referees with us.
00:01:38.76\00:01:42.23
We're so glad to
have Emily, Callie,
00:01:42.26\00:01:44.77
and Grandma Tina with us.
00:01:44.80\00:01:46.53
Please welcome them.
00:01:46.57\00:01:48.77
All right, we're so
glad they're with us.
00:01:48.80\00:01:51.37
Neto, I think these guys
are ready to get started.
00:01:51.41\00:01:53.94
What do you say?
00:01:53.98\00:01:55.31
Christian, can
you tell us a story?
00:01:55.34\00:01:56.68
I sure can. I was
waiting for you to ask.
00:01:56.71\00:01:59.38
Are you guys ready for a story?
00:01:59.41\00:02:01.05
Yes! All right.
00:02:01.08\00:02:02.95
Well, the story I'm
going to tell you today
00:02:02.98\00:02:05.49
is about a woman named Hannah.
00:02:05.52\00:02:08.36
Hannah was a dear woman
and she had so many things
00:02:08.39\00:02:13.43
to be thankful for.
00:02:13.46\00:02:14.83
But there was one thing,
one thing that she really,
00:02:14.86\00:02:20.47
really wanted very bad.
00:02:20.50\00:02:22.47
Ice cream.
00:02:22.50\00:02:24.37
Something even
greater than ice cream.
00:02:24.41\00:02:27.91
Two ice creams.
00:02:27.94\00:02:29.94
Even greater than two ice cream.
00:02:29.98\00:02:31.41
You know what she wanted? What?
00:02:31.45\00:02:32.85
All her life as
she was growing up,
00:02:32.88\00:02:34.78
she always dreamed
about being a mother.
00:02:34.82\00:02:37.59
She wanted a baby.
00:02:37.62\00:02:39.19
How many of you girls
like to play with dolls?
00:02:39.22\00:02:40.99
You all play with dolls?
00:02:41.02\00:02:42.72
Oh, it's fun to play with dolls.
00:02:42.76\00:02:44.29
Well, Hannah played with dolls,
00:02:44.33\00:02:45.96
but she grew and became a woman.
00:02:45.99\00:02:48.90
She want to have a
baby, but she could not.
00:02:48.93\00:02:53.94
And she would pray to
God, and she would say,
00:02:53.97\00:02:56.50
"God, please, please,
please give me a baby."
00:02:56.54\00:03:00.41
And Hannah
would go to the temple
00:03:00.44\00:03:02.94
several times a day to pray,
00:03:02.98\00:03:05.38
and she would drop
down on the ground,
00:03:05.41\00:03:07.28
and she was earnest about it.
00:03:07.32\00:03:09.08
She would plead with
God, say, "Please, please!"
00:03:09.12\00:03:13.29
And one day, she was so earnest,
00:03:13.32\00:03:15.52
and she told God, "God,
I will make you a promise."
00:03:15.56\00:03:20.06
She says, "If you
would give me a baby,"
00:03:20.10\00:03:22.33
she says," I promise
00:03:22.36\00:03:24.47
that this baby will
serve in the temple."
00:03:24.50\00:03:29.07
Ah! I think you're right.
00:03:29.10\00:03:31.71
She said that he
would serve in the temple,
00:03:31.74\00:03:34.78
and she made this
promise too, she says,
00:03:34.81\00:03:37.41
"And I promise that I
will never cut his hair."
00:03:37.45\00:03:42.18
Did you guys know that?
00:03:42.22\00:03:43.75
That's what she
prayed. That's what she prayed.
00:03:43.79\00:03:47.06
And so she made these vows.
00:03:47.09\00:03:48.79
And as she was praying,
the priests of the temple
00:03:48.82\00:03:52.99
one day noticed
that, "Oh, who is that?
00:03:53.03\00:03:56.73
Who is that woman praying?"
00:03:56.77\00:03:58.13
Because she was
so agonizing with God
00:03:58.17\00:04:01.24
and Eli, his name was Eli.
00:04:01.27\00:04:03.41
He said... Ooh,
that's the priest, right?
00:04:03.44\00:04:04.94
The priest. He
said, "Oh, that woman...
00:04:04.97\00:04:08.34
That woman is
really praying seriously
00:04:08.38\00:04:10.95
with all of her heart."
00:04:10.98\00:04:12.31
And he told that
woman, "Listen..."
00:04:12.35\00:04:14.08
No, he said that
the rains brought.
00:04:14.12\00:04:15.48
You're right.
00:04:15.52\00:04:16.85
See, these kids are sharp, Neto.
00:04:16.89\00:04:18.22
They know the
story. They know...
00:04:18.25\00:04:19.59
They know the story, yeah.
00:04:19.62\00:04:20.96
Hey, maybe they
should whip in, Neto.
00:04:20.99\00:04:22.92
You and I should
probably sit down
00:04:22.96\00:04:24.66
and have the kids come up
here and tell us the story.
00:04:24.69\00:04:26.03
Let them tell the story. Yeah!
00:04:26.06\00:04:29.46
We'll think about
that for next time.
00:04:29.50\00:04:31.37
All right, so then...
00:04:31.40\00:04:32.73
So then Eli said that woman,
00:04:32.77\00:04:35.37
God is going to
hear her prayers.
00:04:35.40\00:04:37.01
Well, sure enough guess
what, God answered her prayer.
00:04:37.04\00:04:41.08
Hannah had a baby
and she was so happy,
00:04:41.11\00:04:45.01
she was so happy.
00:04:45.05\00:04:46.38
Was that a cute
baby? Oh, extremely cute.
00:04:46.41\00:04:49.18
She made her
heart just full of joy.
00:04:49.22\00:04:52.02
And Hannah remembered,
"Oh, I did make a promise.
00:04:52.05\00:04:56.69
So I must fulfill my promise."
00:04:56.73\00:04:59.39
So what was her promise?
00:04:59.43\00:05:00.76
She took the baby
boy and took him where?
00:05:00.80\00:05:03.43
To the temple. To
the temple, that's right.
00:05:03.47\00:05:05.67
Oh, and she did
not touch his hair.
00:05:05.70\00:05:08.10
And so she
named the boy, Samuel.
00:05:08.14\00:05:12.21
Samuel.
00:05:12.24\00:05:13.58
Do you know what
the name Samuel means?
00:05:13.61\00:05:16.11
Do you know what
the name Samuel means?
00:05:16.14\00:05:17.85
Let's see.
00:05:17.88\00:05:19.21
Samuel means
because God gave him to me.
00:05:19.25\00:05:21.28
Very good, Leah.
God gave him to me.
00:05:21.32\00:05:24.75
Samuel.
00:05:24.79\00:05:26.12
And Samuel grew
up in the temple.
00:05:26.15\00:05:28.92
And he would every
day, he would do chores.
00:05:28.96\00:05:31.26
You have chores, don't you?
00:05:31.29\00:05:34.10
Half of you
don't, half of you do.
00:05:34.13\00:05:35.96
How about you at
home? Do you have chores?
00:05:36.00\00:05:38.10
I'm sure you do.
Kids have chores.
00:05:38.13\00:05:40.44
There's things you got to do.
00:05:40.47\00:05:42.10
When you wake up in the morning,
00:05:42.14\00:05:43.47
there are things you
got to do and Samuel knew
00:05:43.51\00:05:45.94
that there were
chores to be done.
00:05:45.97\00:05:47.68
And Samuel would sweep
the floor in the temple.
00:05:47.71\00:05:50.81
And what else do
you think he did, Neto?
00:05:50.85\00:05:52.48
He probably
polished the furniture.
00:05:52.51\00:05:54.55
Make sure it was
bright and shiny.
00:05:54.58\00:05:55.92
Wash the dishes. What's that?
00:05:55.95\00:05:57.42
Wash the
dishes. Wash the dishes.
00:05:57.45\00:05:59.89
And I'm sure he helped
00:05:59.92\00:06:02.19
with the duties of the priest...
00:06:02.22\00:06:04.36
Everything that he
had to do. In the temple.
00:06:04.39\00:06:06.63
He followed Eli
wherever Eli went.
00:06:06.66\00:06:09.26
And so Samuel grew up
and did all this work.
00:06:09.30\00:06:12.00
And so these were
long days, and it made him
00:06:12.03\00:06:15.40
very tired at
the end of the day.
00:06:15.44\00:06:17.31
And so they
would go to bed early
00:06:17.34\00:06:19.24
and Samuel would lay
down and close his eyes.
00:06:19.27\00:06:21.98
And one night,
something very strange happened.
00:06:22.01\00:06:25.48
Late at night, Samuel,
all of a sudden woke up
00:06:25.51\00:06:29.25
'cause he thought
he heard something.
00:06:29.28\00:06:31.15
Ah! And he listened.
00:06:31.19\00:06:33.05
Samuel! Samuel!
00:06:33.09\00:06:36.52
And Samuel jumped
out of bed, and he said,
00:06:36.56\00:06:39.26
"Eli is calling me."
00:06:39.29\00:06:40.63
So he ran to Eli, and he
said, "Eli, Eli, wake up.
00:06:40.66\00:06:44.43
Didn't you just call me?"
00:06:44.47\00:06:46.60
And Eli said, "No, Samuel, no.
00:06:46.63\00:06:50.31
Back to bed, boy,
just go back to bed."
00:06:50.34\00:06:52.97
So he did. He was obedient.
So he went back to bed.
00:06:53.01\00:06:56.01
And a few moments
later, same voice, "Samuel!
00:06:56.04\00:07:00.82
Samuel!" He
jumped out of bed again.
00:07:00.85\00:07:03.69
Eli must have
changed his mind he thought.
00:07:03.72\00:07:06.25
So he ran to Eli, and he said,
00:07:06.29\00:07:08.46
"Eli, Eli, you're
calling me again."
00:07:08.49\00:07:12.66
And Eli said, "No, I'm not.
00:07:12.69\00:07:16.26
You must be hearing
things. Go back to bed, boy.
00:07:16.30\00:07:19.03
Go back to bed."
00:07:19.07\00:07:20.97
And guess what, it happened
once, twice, three times.
00:07:21.00\00:07:25.74
Samuel heard the same
voice, and he returned to Eli.
00:07:25.77\00:07:30.25
And he said, "Eli,
I'm not going crazy.
00:07:30.28\00:07:33.01
I've heard you call
me three times now."
00:07:33.05\00:07:36.12
And Eli thought, I think
I know what is happening.
00:07:36.15\00:07:41.52
And he told Samuel,
"Samuel, I tell you what,
00:07:41.56\00:07:46.03
when you hear the voice again,
I want you to stay in your bed,
00:07:46.06\00:07:51.77
but I want you to
look up towards heaven,
00:07:51.80\00:07:54.54
and I want you to, say,
'Lord, speak, I'm listening.'
00:07:54.57\00:07:59.44
And just listen for
a still small voice.
00:07:59.47\00:08:03.35
Will you do that, Samuel?"
00:08:03.38\00:08:05.48
Okay, Eli, that's what I'll do.
00:08:05.51\00:08:07.52
And so he went back
to bed and sure enough,
00:08:07.55\00:08:09.98
a few moments later, he
heard that same voice, Neto,
00:08:10.02\00:08:13.66
"Samuel, Samuel!"
00:08:13.69\00:08:15.99
And Samuel looked up
towards heaven, and he said,
00:08:16.02\00:08:18.39
"Lord, I'm listening."
00:08:18.43\00:08:21.76
And he was quiet, and he
heard a still small voice.
00:08:21.80\00:08:26.43
And God, boys and
girls, gave Samuel
00:08:26.47\00:08:30.07
an important message
00:08:30.11\00:08:32.21
because when you listen
to God, He will speak to you.
00:08:32.24\00:08:36.04
When we...
00:08:36.08\00:08:37.41
When we open our
ears of faith, and we say,
00:08:37.45\00:08:41.12
"Lord, do you have something
that you want to tell us?"
00:08:41.15\00:08:44.55
God speaks in
many different ways,
00:08:44.59\00:08:47.32
and God spoke to Samuel.
00:08:47.36\00:08:49.82
That's our story for today.
00:08:49.86\00:08:51.19
And, boys and girls, if
you're at home, stay with us
00:08:51.23\00:08:54.30
'cause when we come back,
00:08:54.33\00:08:55.83
we're going to take
a quiz on this story,
00:08:55.86\00:08:58.43
and we're looking
forward to seeing you soon.
00:08:58.47\00:09:00.37
