00:03 It's time to share there's a world out there
00:06 Looking for a friend like Jesus 00:10 It's time to share there's a world out there 00:13 Let's tell them that He loves us so 00:16 Let's tell them that He loves us so 00:20 Kids Time, Kids Time Kids Time, Kids Time 00:26 Hi, boys and girls. 00:27 Do you see what I have in my hand? 00:30 Yes, it's a stone. 00:31 It's nice and round and it's smooth too. 00:35 But other than that it's just an ordinary stone. 00:38 But ordinary things can often be put to extraordinary uses. 00:42 Long ago, stones like this were used as weapons of war. 00:46 Whole armies fought with a device they called a sling 00:49 and this sling, it was made of leather straps 00:52 would hold stones like this, 00:53 about the size of a baseball. 00:55 Trained slingers could hurl these stones 00:58 form their slings with deadly force. 01:00 In today's Bible story you'll hear about a young man 01:03 used an ordinary stone to accomplish a mighty deed. 01:07 Perhaps you already know who I am talking about. 01:09 But I'll let you wait and see if you are right. 01:12 But just as ordinary stones can be used 01:14 to accomplish extraordinary things. 01:16 God can use ordinary people just regular boys and girls 01:20 to accomplish mighty things for Him. 01:22 Perhaps you would like to talk to Jesus today, 01:25 and ask Him to use you in the way that He wants. 01:28 You could be like the stone ready to go 01:30 wherever the slinger want you to go. 01:33 But how much more exciting it is to be a boy or girl 01:36 ready to go where, Jesus, want you to go. 01:38 And that best part is that He won't send you off by yourself, 01:42 He will always go with you as your best friend, 01:45 helping you, loving you, and keeping you safe. 01:49 Now, Ranger Jim, is going to tell us today 01:51 about the Red-tailed Hawk. 02:00 Hi, boys and girls, I am excited again today. 02:02 Beverley, is with us again 02:03 and she brought one of her beautiful 02:05 Red-tailed Hawk for us to see and enjoy. 02:07 Isn't he gorgeous? How old is he, Bev? 02:10 This bird is three years old. 02:11 He is a matured bird, because he does have his red-tail now. 02:14 Oh, I see, is it a male or female? 02:16 This one is a male, the males are much smaller 02:19 than the females with the birds of prey. 02:21 Oh, I see. 02:23 How larger family do they normally have 02:26 when they build a nest? 02:27 How many eggs do they have? 02:28 They have between two and four to the nest. 02:32 Oh, I see, I was reading recently, 02:34 I didn't know that before. 02:35 I learn that this male went out hunting, 02:36 while his wife was incubating the eggs 02:39 and he actually brought food to and fed her 02:40 while she is on the nest caring for the eggs. 02:42 Absolutely, if she were to leave those eggs, 02:44 they would get cold. 02:45 So they do parent together as a team. 02:49 Well, that's neat, sort of like human beings. 02:51 Yes. It works best if dad helps out, okay. 02:52 That's right, well, tell me then, 02:54 when the babies hatched, do both parents hunt, 02:56 or does the mother still stay there to protect the babies? 02:58 When they are still small, they still need some protection 03:01 and some warmth and he will still hunt for both of them. 03:04 But as soon as they have enough feathers on them 03:07 that they can stay warm, 03:08 then she also helps with the hunt, 03:10 because they are ravenous eaters. 03:12 Oh, I see, but until then, the father brings the food 03:14 and the mother tears it up in smaller pieces. 03:16 That's correct. And feeds them one by one. 03:18 I see, so I have heard people say 03:20 that there is no hunter like, a Red-tailed Hawk, 03:22 when he has got a family in the nest. 03:24 That's right. I see, well, then when the birds are larger, 03:27 and they begin to travel with their parents, 03:29 they are taught the hunting techniques, is this true? 03:31 That's correct. 03:32 That by following them in flight, 03:35 they learn from the parent birds. 03:37 I see, I find It rather amusing. 03:39 I was observing last early fall, 03:43 a male is out with the young juvenile following him 03:46 and the juvenile had learned 03:47 that when father screams or give that terrible call 03:50 that they give, sometime rabbits will panic 03:53 and begin to run and this young bird was flying 03:55 along to find his father, 03:56 he was screaming every wing bead. 03:58 He just went continuous yell and screaming, 04:00 looking for food. 04:01 Sometimes that works against them, 04:03 then the rabbits know where they are coming from, 04:05 but yes, they are a little bit of nuisance 04:07 when they are following their parents. 04:08 I see, that at the end of the first fall, 04:10 then they are on their own, they grow up. 04:12 They are pretty much on their own. 04:14 It takes them again though two years 04:15 before they are matured bird looking 04:17 for a territory of their own 04:18 and they are looking for a mate of their own. 04:20 I see, do these birds mate for a life time? 04:22 If it is convenient for them, they certainly will. 04:26 If they loose a mate, 04:28 they sometimes will rapidly choose a new one to provide 04:31 for the new growth of babies coming up. 04:35 Oh, I see, okay, and this animal would live on things 04:38 as large as rabbit's and squirrels. 04:40 Absolutely, they take on very large prey like that. 04:43 Rabbit's and squirrels, but they also take 04:45 whatever they can get, life in a wild is rough. 04:48 They feel only one out of every ten attempts are successful. 04:51 So they will take a mouse, a rat, 04:54 a chipmunk along the way if they can. 04:57 Oh, I see, well, tell me about this, week or two ago 05:00 I observed a Red-tailed Hawk flying along 05:02 and first I thought maybe he had escaped 05:03 with a tether like this, but I got looking more closely 05:05 and he was carrying a snake, do they eat snakes? 05:07 They will eat many different things including snake. 05:10 Some of the old references said, 05:11 they would if they had to, but I am convinced they like snake. 05:15 Oh, I see, so whatever happens to be available 05:17 when he has babies at home in the nest, 05:19 he is looking for it? 05:20 Well, that's greatly to his advantage, 05:22 because many of these hawks are not surviving well 05:25 with the human encroachment, 05:27 but because they do eat different things, 05:29 the red-tail has managed to adapt better. 05:32 I see and so then here in North America, 05:34 he is our largest hawk, isn't he? 05:35 He is one of the largest in this area. 05:37 He is our largest, yes. 05:39 I see, and these birds come to you, 05:40 most of these birds come to you, 05:41 because they are injured road accidents and things of this. 05:45 Many of them are hit by vehicles. 05:48 This particular bird though unfortunately 05:50 had a sadder story, he had been shot. 05:52 I see, someone shot him with the shotgun or rifle. 05:56 Do you think that usually is intentional 05:58 or someone just ignorant of this bird's 06:00 still somewhat near end. 06:01 Actually in this case, we know 06:02 it was an intentional shot, yes. 06:04 That's terrible, isn't it? Yes. 06:05 That's just terrible we can't, 06:06 those of us who see this beautiful creature 06:08 that God has made wonder how someone 06:10 could just shoot this creature. 06:13 So once again, boys and girls, 06:15 we are talking about the creature, 06:16 that God made and when God made it, 06:18 He did a wonderful job. 06:20 Can you see his tail on camera? 06:21 I don t how much you can see on camera, it is just gorgeous. 06:24 And when you see the Ted-tailed Hawk 06:26 wheeling in the air against the blue sky. 06:28 And occasionally he turns just right, 06:30 so the sun glistens on his tail. 06:32 It announces to all the world. 06:34 Here I am. God made me. Just look at me. 06:38 So, God, provides for those things. 06:40 He provides for the hawk. 06:41 He provides for every creature that He made. 06:43 He provide for us, because He loves us. 06:46 We are His creation. 06:47 Boys and girls, remember, Jesus loves you. 06:51 And my Bible says, that even when the tiny sparrow, 06:54 not something as big and beautiful as a hawk, 06:56 but a common ordinary sparrow falls to the ground, 06:59 our wonderful Heavenly Father, 07:01 takes note of that and it saddens 07:03 His great heart of love. 07:04 So don't forget to tell Jesus, you love Him, 07:07 becasue He really does love you. 07:17 Hi, boys and girls. 07:19 When David fought Goliath, 07:21 he did not win that battle by himself. 07:23 Bobby, can you tell us what Psalms 46 verse 1 says, 07:27 "God is my refuge and strength." 07:30 God was his refuge and God was his strength. 07:33 Boys and girls, please join us 07:34 as we sing about that great battle. 07:41 Only a boy named David Only a little sling 07:46 Only a boy named David But he could pray and sing 07:50 Only a boy named David Only a rippling brook 07:55 Only a boy named David But five little stones he took 07:59 And one little stone went in the sling 08:01 And the sling went round and round 08:03 And one little stone went in the sling 08:06 And the sling went round and round 08:08 And round and round And round and round 08:10 And round and round and round 08:12 And one little stone went up in the air 08:15 And the giant came tumbling down 08:20 Only a boy named David Only a little sling 08:24 Only a boy named David But he could pray and sing 08:29 Only a boy named David Only a rippling brook 08:33 Only a boy named David But five little stones he took 08:37 And one little stone went in the sling 08:39 And the sling went round and round 08:42 And one little stone went in the sling 08:44 And the sling went round and round 08:46 And round and round And round and round 08:48 And round and round and round 08:50 And one little stone went up in the air 08:53 And the giant came tumbling down 08:59 Boys and girls, the giants will keep falling as long as 09:02 you and God, are fighting those battles together. 09:12 Hi, boys and girls, I want to tell you about a story 09:15 that happened to me when I was a little boy. 09:17 You see, I was a shepherd. 09:19 I didn't grow up in a palace, I watched sheep. 09:22 And you know, a part of the shepherd's job 09:25 is to take care of the sheep 09:26 and protect it from wild animals. 09:29 You see, wild animals they would come 09:32 and they would try to take the sheep 09:33 and kill them and eat them. 09:35 And, you know what, that could be pretty scary 09:38 as a little boy thinking about lions and bears, 09:40 but lions and bears would show up every now and then. 09:44 And I would have to protect the sheep 09:46 from the lions and the bears. 09:48 Well, you know, I learned as a little boy to trust in God. 09:53 From nature, I learned that God would take care of me, 09:57 that He loved me, that He created me, 10:00 that He was my God and then I could trust in Him. 10:03 I would talk to Him out attending my sheep 10:06 and He was so nice to me, 10:08 He would talk back to my heart. 10:10 Well, one day a lion broke out and stole one of my sheep. 10:16 It was scary at first, but I prayed, 10:19 oh, God, please help me, please help me 10:21 and I went after that lion and I killed that lion. 10:25 You see, there was a bear one time 10:28 and it came out and did the same thing 10:30 and God helped me with the bear too. 10:33 Wow, I didn't realize it then, 10:35 but God was preparing me to do greater things for Him. 10:40 You see my father sent a messenger out to me 10:44 to go and find out how my brothers were doing 10:48 at a battle that the children of Israel 10:51 were having with the Philistines. 10:54 And so I packed up a few things, 10:56 my dad send a little gift for my brothers 10:59 and I went off in search of my brothers 11:03 and to see what all about the war. 11:06 Well, you know, I wasn't going alone 11:10 and I thought about, wow, I wonder 11:13 if my brothers are even alive. 11:15 Well, as I finally made it to the battle sight, 11:19 I heard this loud boisterous voice. 11:23 It was scary, oh, it sent shivers up and down my spine. 11:29 And as I got closer, I saw that there was a giant 11:33 on the battlefield across 11:35 from where my brothers were on the hill. 11:38 And I noticed him, He was Goliath. 11:42 I had heard about goliath, he was a giant. 11:46 Goliath, he stood so tall, he was 40 feet high. 11:52 Well, he really wasn't that tall, 11:54 but he seemed like that to me. 11:55 He was huge and he was a giant of a man. 12:00 His spear, his shied, oh, all of his armor 12:04 would make any man fear for their lives. 12:10 But when I heard what he was saying 12:13 and instead of being afraid of Goliath, 12:15 it made me angry, because Goliath was talking about God. 12:20 He was looking at my brothers and kings Saul. 12:23 And he was laughing at them and he was saying 12:26 "I defy your God, I defy all of you children of Israel. 12:35 I dare one of you to come and fight me." 12:40 And if there is one of you that will fight me and kill me, 12:44 then the Philistines will be your servants. 12:48 But, if I kill one of your men, 12:55 then you will be one of our servants. 13:00 There isn't a God in this world that can hurt me. 13:05 I couldn't believe it. No one was moving. 13:10 None of them, Saul, my brothers, 13:14 not one soldier went to fight 13:18 and so I went up to him and I said, why not? 13:22 I will fight him, I will fight Goliath. 13:27 They laughed at me. 13:29 They said I was a little kid, they said I was too small. 13:32 they told me to go home and attend my sheep. 13:35 Well, I told them about the lion, 13:38 I told them about the bear. 13:40 I reminded them about how powerful our God is? 13:44 How our God brought his children out of Egypt. 13:49 I reminded them that our God parted the Red Sea. 13:55 They laughed at me. King Saul, he heard about it. 13:59 He sent for me and I went in before the king. 14:03 And I said, king, I will go, I will fight Goliath. 14:08 I can't do it myself, but I know that God will be with me. 14:12 He will kill that Goliath. 14:16 It's not a problem for Him. 14:19 Saul looked at me, he said, son you are really small. 14:23 I know I should be the one to do it, 14:25 but may be he saw the faith that I had. 14:29 I'm sure he did, because he put his own armor on me 14:34 and he sent me off with his blessing to go fight Goliath. 14:38 I headed down the hill, but the armor was so heavy, 14:42 I could hardly move. 14:44 Saul was a pretty big guy himself, 14:47 lot taller than me and I was just a boy. 14:51 And I turned around and I started to head back, 14:54 I looked at my brothers and they were laughing, 14:57 so was everybody else. 14:58 They thought that I have given up 14:59 that I had seen, Goliath, and that he was too big 15:03 and that I was chicken, but that wasn't ended all. 15:07 I removed the armor and I said King Saul, 15:10 I can't fight with these. 15:13 God, he doesn't need me to wear this kind of stuff, 15:17 He can protect me. 15:18 It doesn't matter if you are small, 15:20 or if you are big, God will protect me. 15:23 It's His battle, He will win, He will fight through me. 15:27 And so I took my stuff and I took my slingshot 15:32 and I headed down to the brook 15:35 between the Philistines and the Israelites. 15:39 I bent down and I picked up five smooth stones. 15:46 The stones, they were the right size and shape all right, 15:49 I had practice with them, I knew that they would work. 15:54 But still, God would have to guide that stone. 15:57 I couldn't do it on my own. He had too much armor. 16:02 I put the stones in my pocket. 16:05 And I didn't know how God was going to deliver me, 16:08 but I just knew He would. 16:11 So I headed toward Goliath 16:14 and I stopped and Goliath looked at me. 16:17 And he looked down at me and he couldn't believe 16:20 that I have been sent, he started to curse me. 16:24 He acted as if that I was just a little kid and he said, 16:28 what am I a dog that you would 16:30 send this little boy after me? 16:34 After cursing me, he said that he would cut my head off. 16:37 He defied God again and he was so angry 16:43 and that's when I spoke back at him. 16:46 I looked at him and I said, Goliath, 16:49 this day you and all of Israel and the Philistines 16:54 will know that there is a God in Heaven. 16:57 He is the Creator God. 16:59 He will destroy you this day. 17:03 I will cut off your head and the birds will devour you. 17:12 Wow! Goliath, he got mad, he was so mad 17:17 that he took his hand 17:20 and he lifted up his helmet just enough. 17:24 And I prayed, oh, God, what would I do? 17:27 He started to run at me and as he was running at me, 17:31 I took one of my stones and I put it in my sling 17:35 and I started to sling, go round and round with my sling 17:39 and I went charging after Goliath. 17:42 Everybody was watching, this little boy would be killed, 17:46 that was on the minds of everyone. 17:48 And as he was charging after me, 17:50 and I was running after him, 17:52 I let go the sling and that stone flew through the air 17:58 and it hit its mark right on Goliath's forehead. 18:02 It made an impression in his forehead and it dent. 18:06 Goliath staggered, it was quiet, 18:10 the Philistines and the Israelites were silenced 18:13 as Goliath staggered, and he fell forward. 18:21 I didn't know if he was dead or not, I didn't care. 18:23 I knew that if I was going to defeat this giant. 18:29 God put it in my heart to go and take his sword 18:32 and with all my might I ripped out of his sword 18:37 and I cut off his head. 18:41 All of the Israelites, they rushed down 18:45 and they began to fight and-- 18:48 the Philistines, they began to run. 18:52 I want you to know, boys and girls that, 18:54 that day the children of Israel 18:59 were known as the people of God. 19:03 The Philistines ran. And just like, God, 19:08 helped me that day, God will help you. 19:20 [Music] 22:14 In today's Bible story, we discovered that Goliath's 22:17 armor couldn't protect him from a boy, 22:19 who trusted God. 22:21 But the Bible tells us about another kind of armor, 22:23 that can protect us against anything 22:25 that devil may throw at us. You know what it is? 22:28 That armor is described here in the Bible, 22:31 it's the Book of Ephesians Chapter 6 22:33 and it's verses 13 to 17. 22:35 I am going to read it for you. 22:36 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, 22:40 that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, 22:43 and having done all, to stand. 22:46 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, 22:49 and having on the breastplate of righteousness, 22:52 And your feet shod with the preparation 22:54 of the gospel of peace, 22:56 Above all, taking the shield of faith, 22:59 wherewith ye shall be able to quench 23:01 all the fiery darts of the wicked. 23:03 And take the helmet of salvation, 23:06 and the sword of the Spirit, 23:07 which is the word of God." 23:10 But just what is this armor anyway. 23:13 To find out, let's take a brief look 23:15 at the person who wrote these words. 23:18 They were written by the Apostle Paul 23:20 that was one of Jesus' disciples. 23:22 Now, Paul, was a city fellow 23:24 and some Bible writers lived in the country, 23:26 and they wrote about, you know, 23:27 trees, and flowers, and fishermen, and farmers. 23:31 But, Paul, wrote about the things 23:32 that he saw around him too. 23:35 But he was often in Rome and Jerusalem, 23:37 and other cities and the things 23:39 he saw were wrestling matches, 23:41 and marathon runners, and Roman soldiers. 23:44 In fact, Paul had been thrown into prison 23:46 more than once for just being a Christian. 23:49 He was guarded by Roman soldiers wearing armors, 23:52 so he had lots of opportunity to study 23:54 every piece of it, didn't he? 23:56 And since, Paul love Jesus, he always thinking of others. 24:00 And trying to think of ways to understand, 24:02 what it meant to be a Christian 24:04 and how to live a Christian life. 24:06 So he decided to compare a soldier's armor 24:09 to the ways the Christian fights against the devil. 24:13 That was a nice idea, wasn't it? 24:15 Paul, knew that Christians would have to fight 24:17 a war against the devil. 24:19 And he wants every one of us to join the Christian army. 24:22 Won't you fight on Jesus' side? 24:24 I think rest in God's armor today. 24:27 Now do you know what time it is? 24:29 You guessed it, it's mailbox time. 24:32 Let's check our letters and see if we have any mail today. 24:36 Let's see, I open the mail. 24:39 I do, I have some letters. 24:42 I wonder if there is one from you. 24:44 Right here. Oh, nice, see that nice purple envelope. 24:48 See how many we have here. 24:51 One from Russia, and also one from Florida and Texas, 24:59 and you know there is even one from New Zealand. 25:01 Oh, I love getting letters from all over the world. 25:05 Boys and girls, I love to get letters 25:06 from wherever you are telling me ways you share Jesus. 25:11 Let me open a couple of them 25:12 and share with you right now. 25:15 This one is from Slone and he lives in Texas. 25:19 Let's see what Slone has to say. 25:22 Slone send us a picture. 25:24 Oh, let's show to boys and girls right here, 25:26 can you see the picture of Slone. 25:29 Let's see what Slone has to tell us. 25:31 He says, dear Brenda, one way I can witness for Jesus, 25:35 is to go to sing at people's houses 25:37 and I give them vegetarian recipes. 25:40 I am nine years old and I go to school in Texas, love Slone. 25:44 Slone, thank you so much for that letter. 25:46 That is a wonderful way to witness, isn't it? 25:48 Because when we eat healthy, 25:51 it makes Jesus happy, doesn't it? 25:53 Let's see what else we have. 25:55 Another letter we have here from. 25:58 Oh, I got a little picture of a sun and it's from Amy. 26:01 It says, I am six years old and I share Jesus 26:04 when I walked to my friend's dog, because she was sick. 26:08 It was really my mom's friend, but I still did it. 26:11 I think Jesus is happy, love Amy. 26:15 PS can I can I have a book. 26:18 Yes, Amy, when you send me a sharing time letter, 26:21 we will send you our Kids Time Activity Book. 26:23 All you have to do is write tell me 26:25 how you shared Jesus 26:26 and we will definitely send you a book, Amy. 26:29 You know, it's a wonderful thing you did 26:31 by walking your friend's dog, 26:34 even if it was your mom's friend, wasn't it? 26:36 We always want to share Jesus wherever we are everyday. 26:40 Boys and girls, that's all the time we have today. 26:43 Until next time remember Jesus loves you 26:46 and it's Kids Time to share Jesus. |
