00:03 It's time to share there's a world out
00:06 there, 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. 00:17 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:20 Kids Time, Kids Time, Kids Time. 00:24 Hi boys and girls, just look at this, 00:27 have you ever seen a sword before? 00:30 This one belongs to my friend Trent; 00:31 and he let me bring it today so 00:32 I can show it to you. You probably seen 00:35 pictures of swords or maybe you might have 00:37 visited a museum where swords were on display. 00:40 But the fact is that swords in the modern 00:43 world have become rather antique. 00:46 A reminder of a way of life that we really no 00:48 longer experience, still though we understand 00:51 the significance of swords. 00:54 We know they represent power and might, 00:56 and are weapons with which to fight a battle. 00:59 Whole armies used to fight with swords and 01:02 not so many years ago men used to settle an 01:05 argument by fighting one on one with swords. 01:08 Throughout long years of history people have 01:10 put a lot of trust in swords. 01:13 And you know it's sad but true, 01:16 most people have trusted swords 01:18 more than they have trusted God. 01:21 Today's Bible story tells about some people who 01:23 thought that big men with big swords were 01:26 stronger than God. Can you imagine that? 01:30 They hadn't learned that with God all things are 01:33 possible, and that if God is for us, 01:36 no one can stand against us. 01:38 Do you wonder what Bible story I'm talking about? 01:41 Well, you'll find out soon enough, 01:43 but first we are going to find out from 01:44 Ranger Jim just what a cicada is? 01:55 Hi boys and girls, Ranger Jim saying 01:57 welcome to Nature Time. Look what I have for 01:59 you today, isn't this a beautiful little creature? 02:02 Well, not really. I know boys and girls 02:05 like to use your imagination, 02:06 so would you use your imagination with me today. 02:09 And try to imagine that the day you were born 02:12 this tiny creature hatched 02:14 from a tiny little egg. It looked like a tiniest 02:17 little spider that you can hardly see, 02:20 and it was living underground, 02:21 it burrowed underground and found 02:23 some roots and it began to use his little mouth 02:25 parts and chew on them and suck out the juice 02:28 out of those roots. And when you celebrate 02:31 your first birthday and your mom and dad were 02:33 so proud of you this tiny little creature 02:36 was about 1/32nd of an inch long about that big 02:40 tiny little creature. When you were two 02:43 you'd look at this creature and you'd say, 02:44 hey you didn't grow very much, 02:47 and then your third year when you're getting 02:48 almost grown up, this was still a 02:50 tiny little creature. And then your fourth 02:53 birthday came he was still a tiny little thing 02:56 crawling in around in the ground, 02:58 grubbing around finding new roots 03:00 and sucking the nectar out of them, 03:02 just going about his business. 03:03 By now he had established a system of 03:05 little burrows where he went to this root and to 03:07 that tree, and feeding back and forth and all around. 03:10 And on your fifth birthday he was still a 03:12 little guy, and your sixth birthday he was 03:15 still underground, going around in the dark 03:18 sucking on the roots and enjoying his life, 03:20 his own little system of passage he followed 03:24 when he was looking for food. 03:26 And then something begin to happen, 03:28 he began to grow more rapidly, and on your 03:32 tenth birthday he was 2/3rds this size. 03:38 And on your eleventh birthday he was a little 03:40 bigger, and on your twelfth birthday bigger. 03:44 And when you became a teenager 03:46 boys and girls, this little creature dug a burrow 03:50 up to the surface of the ground and climbed up 03:54 on a plant in the day light for the first time in 03:57 its life, and the tiny little split on the back 04:00 of its shell that it left, it molted for the final 04:03 time climbed out of that lift, this old system, 04:06 the old skeletal system there and he climbed up 04:09 on a branch almost totally white and 04:12 became a totally different insect. 04:14 I'm going to lay this down and show you 04:16 now what it became? This is what it became, 04:21 a beautiful creature, this is called the 04:24 thirteen year cicada, because it takes thirteen 04:28 years of development underground to become 04:31 this, it stayed on that branch for two or three 04:34 days until the skeletal system firmed up and 04:36 became solid. Its wings developed, 04:38 all the veins that you can see here, 04:40 all the orange veins, the blood passing 04:43 there, and they harden up, was able to fly and 04:46 then it flew upon a branch and 04:47 begin to crawl. The male has a special 04:49 system on the bottom of his bottom, 04:51 a way of making a rattling sound, 04:53 and that's the way it attracts all of the lady 04:56 cicadas in the area. And that's not enough 04:58 and so the boys all get together on a tree 05:01 hundreds of them, sometimes thousands of 05:03 them and form a chorus. And you can hear it 05:06 every where in th forest, it's a constant 05:09 roaring, all the male singing and calling to 05:12 the females, and the females come and they 05:14 mate and produce eggs, then the female lays 05:17 eggs on the branch. And then as I told 05:20 you before those eggs hatch and that's the way 05:23 it's perpetuated. Now you may find 05:25 cicadas in the summer time, we have what we 05:27 call the local or dog day cicada and they 05:33 are year, once a year sometimes twice a year 05:36 they're more greenish in color flat. 05:39 They are the common cicada that 05:41 most people would find. When you find these 05:42 they are in great abundance. 05:44 My wife and I live on a 40 acre farm, 05:47 in some instances not on our farm but they 05:49 have been instances where they know 05:50 that there are one and a half million cicadas 05:54 to the acre, can you imagine that? 05:57 So that means on our 40 acre farm 06:01 there might be 60 million in an area where 06:05 these are hatching and I got this one by the way 06:07 in Southern Illinois, there was a hatch there 06:10 last year around Southern Illinois, 06:12 Kentucky and all down in that area. 06:15 And there were thousands of them on trees. 06:18 So a more normal population we'd 06:21 find at least a hundred thousand 06:22 of these to the acre. And everything eats 06:24 them the birds eats them, dogs eat them, 06:26 everything eat them. But they cannot effect 06:28 the population of the cicada, 06:30 they're so numerous. They are just a 06:32 wonderful creature to study, there are some 06:34 cicadas boys and girls that take seventeen 06:36 years, they wouldn't become an adult until 06:38 you had perhaps started dating, or graduating 06:41 from the high school, all that time they were 06:43 underground, but they came forth to the 06:45 beautiful sunlight the creature that God intended. 06:47 So, boys and girls we see once again, 06:49 God's wonderful hand in creation, 06:52 so as always. Ranger Jim saying, 06:54 don't forget to tell Jesus that you love 06:56 Him 'cause He really does love you. 07:07 Hello boys and girls, I'd like to introduce 07:09 you to the newest member of the 07:10 Kids Time family. His name is 07:12 Kurt Houghtaling. He's 5 weeks old. 07:17 I have two other sons Adam and Brandon 07:20 and a little girl name Hannah. 07:22 There's a guy in the Bible named Noah 07:24 who had three sons also, and they had a big 07:27 job to do. Their job was to build the 07:30 Ark to save the world. What a large job that is? 07:33 I am glad that we don't have to do that, 07:35 because God's promised He's never going to 07:37 send the flood again. We'd like to sing a song 07:39 for you right now about Noah and his sons. 07:53 Mister Noah built an ark, 07:56 the people thought it was a lark. 07:59 Mister Noah pleaded so, 08:02 but into the ark they wouldn't go. 08:05 And Rain came down in torrents. 08:09 The rain came down in torrents. 08:12 The rain came down in torrents. 08:14 And only eight were saved. 08:18 The animals came in two by two, 08:22 the big giraffe and the kangaroo. 08:25 They were safely stowed away 08:28 on that great and awful day. 08:31 And rain came down in torrents. 08:34 The rain came down in torrents. 08:37 The rain came down in torrents. 08:40 And only eight were saved. 08:44 When you see a rainbow 08:46 When you see a rainbow 08:49 When you see a rainbow 08:52 Remember God loves you. 08:56 Boys and girls, we'd like to teach you 08:58 the actions of this song, 09:01 are you ready? Here we go. 09:02 Mister Noah built an ark, 09:05 the people thought it was a lark. 09:08 Mister Noah pleaded so, 09:11 but into the ark they wouldn't go 09:13 And the rain came down in torrents. 09:16 The rain came down in torrents. 09:19 The rain came down in torrents. 09:22 And only eight were saved. 09:26 The animals came in two by two, 09:29 the big giraffe and kangaroo 09:32 They were safely stowed away, 09:35 Until that great and awful day 09:37 And the rain came down in torrents. 09:40 The rain came down in torrents. 09:43 The rain came down in torrents. 09:45 And only eight were saved. 09:50 When you see a rainbow 09:52 When you see a rainbow 09:55 When you see a rainbow 09:57 Remember God loves you. 12:38 Oh hello, are you packing too? 12:42 You know my name is Joshua, 12:47 and I'm packing not to go into the 12:49 Promised Land, but to go into the wilderness. 12:53 It's a pretty long story, you want to hear it? 12:58 You see, I was one of the 12 spies, 13:01 one of the few, the chosen, 13:03 to get to go out into the Promised Land 13:05 and check it out. And boy, let me tell you, 13:09 it was something great. You know Moses told 13:12 us that it was a land flowing with milk 13:13 and honey and that sounded really good, 13:16 but it is better than milk and honey. 13:18 There's so many awesome things there. 13:21 It is a farmer's paradise, you can grow great 13:25 crops, not even have to work that hard, 13:27 and the climate is just very healthy. 13:30 We brought back some grapes and they were 13:32 bigger than my head, and they 13:34 tasted out of this world. I was so excited 13:37 because I knew that God would give us this land. 13:41 So we finished spying out the land, 13:43 and when we came back and the people 13:44 saw us far off in the distance. 13:46 And they said, the spies are back, 13:48 the spies are back, and we came and we got 13:51 in front of Moses and he quieted the crowds down. 13:54 And we started giving our report, 13:56 we told them about the land, 13:58 and how it was awesome, and how the farming 14:00 was good, and how the climate was good, 14:02 and we showed them the grapes. 14:04 We brought back a cluster that was so big, 14:07 it had to be carried between two guys on a pole. 14:12 And the people they caught our excitement, 14:14 and they started getting all antsy and ready to 14:16 go on and take the land. And then one of the 14:19 spies raised his hand and said, yeah this is all 14:22 good but, and when he said but something 14:27 in my heart dropped. He said, yeah, 14:30 yeah it's a good land, but there's giants there, 14:35 not just nice, sleepy kind of giants, 14:37 the big kinds with swords larger than my body, 14:41 who like to stomp on little guys like us. 14:43 And he told about the cities, and how they 14:46 were fortified, and how they had huge armies, 14:48 and chariots, and bows and arrows, 14:50 and the people started getting scared. 14:54 They started to forget what God had done for 14:55 us in the past. Then they started to get 14:58 angry, they shook their fists at Moses and they 15:01 say why have you let us out here to be killed? 15:05 We were better off in Egypt. 15:07 Moses tried to calm them down; 15:09 he tried to remind them what God had done for 15:11 us at the Red Sea. How God had provided 15:13 us manna and water in the desert, 15:17 but the people wouldn't listen. 15:20 I got angry, not angry at God, 15:23 not angry at Moses, but angry at the people 15:26 for forgetting about God, and how powerful He was. 15:30 I jumped up on a rock and I said people 15:32 listen, don't you remember what God 15:34 has done for you in the past? 15:36 All we have to do is be strong and courageous, 15:39 and God would give us the land. 15:43 The people got mad at me, 15:46 and they stooped down, they started picking up 15:48 stones and they got ready to throw them at me. 15:52 And I was, I was kind of scared for my life, 15:55 and then all of a sudden then there was a flash 15:58 and we looked and the tabernacle 16:01 was glowing with God's presence. 16:07 The stones were dropped and the 16:09 mumbling stopped, and everyone knew 16:11 deep down that he was in trouble. 16:14 Moses went and he prayed to the God 16:16 for a long time, and when he came 16:18 back he was very sad. He said that God said 16:23 because we did not trust in Him and because we 16:25 had no faith in God that he wasn't going to give 16:28 us the Promised Land just yet. 16:31 We had to go back out into the 16:34 wilderness to learn our lesson. 16:38 Now the people did something really 16:39 strange, God said take the land they said 16:43 no we can't, so God said go to the wilderness, 16:46 and they said no, no way, 16:47 I think we can take the land. 16:49 Moses tried to stop them, I tried to stop them, 16:52 but they wouldn't listen, they grabbed their 16:54 swords and their spears and they said we're 16:56 going to go get the Promised Land. 16:58 The land flowing with milk and honey is ours, 17:02 and they marched out. Later that night when a 17:06 few survivals straggled back, 17:09 my heart crumbled again to see them hurt 17:13 and wounded, and many of our friends not 17:16 there with us any more, made me sad because it 17:19 all could have been not happened 17:22 if we had have listened to God. 17:25 There were many tents that were crying that 17:28 night because they know no longer had a 17:29 father, or an uncle, or a brother because 17:33 they didn't trust in God. And so that's why we're 17:37 heading back out into the wilderness because 17:40 we have to learn our lesson. 17:45 We have to learn our lesson 17:47 to always trust in the Lord. 18:03 I am the way and the truth and the light. 18:09 I am the way and the truth and the light. 18:15 And no one comes to the Father 18:19 except through me, except through me, 18:25 I am the way and the truth and the light. 18:30 I am the way and the truth and the light. 18:36 And no one comes to the Father 18:40 except through me, except through me, 18:46 I am the way and the truth and the light. 18:51 I am the way and the truth and the light. 18:57 And no one comes to the Father 19:01 except through me, John 14 says. 19:17 Thank you to the Bond family 19:18 for that beautiful song. Well boys and girls, 19:21 I'd like to share some e-mails and letters that 19:23 I have been receiving today. 19:25 And I have one particular I'd like to 19:27 share with you it's from my friend Caprice. 19:29 I call her my friend because you know 19:30 Caprice writes to me almost every single 19:33 week, and Caprice, I love you, and I want to 19:35 share your e-mail.

Even in Russia, 22:43 that's a long way from my home, 22:45 this is our friend Julia and she's going to 22:47 interpret for us today. And I have this 22:49 precious little friend next to me and your 22:52 name is Naschia. Naschia, can you tell 22:55 me, what do you do to share Jesus? 22:58 [Foreign Language] 23:07 I sing songs. You sing songs Naschia. 23:10 Would you like to sing a song today for us? 23:13 [Foreign Language] 23:15 What would you like to sing? 23:16 [Foreign Language] 23:19 About the planes. About the planes, 23:20 I don't know this song; 23:22 do you know this song Julia? 23:23 Oh yes, I know this song and the song says, 23:27 everyday planes fly somewhere. 23:30 Everyday trains go somewhere, 23:32 and me, wherever I go, wherever I am in a 23:36 plane or a train I want to be with Jesus. 23:39 Oh that sounds like such a nice song, 23:41 Naschia, would you like to sing that for us today? 23:45 Shall we invite all your 23:46 friends to help you sing it? 23:47 [Foreign Language] 23:48 Okay, let's sing this song and I understand 23:50 there's emotions in this song, right, 23:52 maybe you can teach them to me, can we do it. 23:54 [Foreign Language] 23:56 Okay, let's sing the song. 23:57 [Foreign Language] 24:16 Thank you for that beautiful 24:17 song kids I really enjoyed it. 24:19 Well I have a letter here I'd like to share with 24:21 you, and this is from my friend William. 24:23 And here's William's picture, 24:25 he's from Fletcher, North Carolina. 24:27 And some of you might recognize William 24:29 because William had played his trumpet 24:31 here on Kids Time before, and I have to 24:32 tell you I just love William. 24:35 Do you know he's got a smile on his heart, 24:37 and if you watch closely he's smiling 24:39 even while he's playing that trumpet? 24:41 And it just warms my heart, it says, 24:43 his letter says dear Miss Brenda, 24:45 my name is William and I am 10 years old. 24:47 Recently I went golfing with my dad and my 24:49 grandpa, and I drove the car and washed the 24:51 balls without being asked to just because 24:54 I wanted to help, you know that that sounds 24:55 like Williams. The Bible says be kind and 24:58 affectionate to one another with brotherly 25:00 love and honor giving preference to one and 25:02 other, Romans 12:10. I'm thankful that Jesus 25:05 died on the cross for me, when I think of 25:07 what he did for me that makes me want to help 25:10 others, sincerely Williams. 25:12 Well thank you so much for your letter 25:14 William, and yes it does, when we do 25:16 something for others, it shows we do have Jesus 25:19 in our heart. And this letter is from 25:21 the Dominican, and see this nice card he has, 25:27 isn't that beautiful? And he says, 25:29 the picture in the front is the farmer going to 25:31 pick bananas on his farm. And a good farmer 25:34 takes good care of his farm, just like a good 25:36 shepherd takes good care of his flock. 25:39 God takes good care of His sheep that's you and I. 25:42 And let's see, he says his favorite text is 25:45 Proverbs 20 verse 1, anyone shouldn't look it 25:47 up, he doesn't want to tell you so Proverbs 20 25:49 verse 1, go get your Bibles and look that up 25:51 boys and girls. And let's see what's his favorite? 25:54 He says, dear Miss Brenda, hi how are you 25:57 I love to see your program on 3ABN. 25:59 I watch you everyday and I love Praise Time, 26:02 and Story Time and I love, just love those 26:05 Kids Time programs, your friend from the 26:07 Dominican, Ezekiel. And thank you so much 26:10 Ezekiel for your letter. And I want you to keep 26:12 on watching and just share Jesus with 26:15 someone today won't you, because Jesus is 26:17 coming soon. And boys and girls, 26:19 that's all the time we have today. 26:21 I want you to smile at someone today, 26:23 tell them Jesus loves them, He is coming soon. 26:25 And remember it's Kids Time to share Jesus. |
