00:03 It's time to share there is a world out
00:06 there looking for a friend like Jesus,
00:10 it's time to share there is a world out
00:13 there looking for a friend like Jesus,
00:14 it's time to share there is a world out
00:15 there. 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.
00:24 Hi boys and girls, have you ever heard of Phoenicians.
00:27 The Bible tells us about them and in fact the
00:30 prophet Ezekiel, he talked about the Phoenician
00:33 city of Tyre. Now Tyre was one of the biggest
00:36 and the strongest cities in Ezekiel's time.
00:38 And you know what he predicted that Tyre would
00:41 eventually be attacked by many different nations
00:44 like waves of the sea and that they would be
00:47 completely destroyed and he added one more
00:49 thing. He said that it will be used for the
00:52 spreading of nets by the sea. Well guess what
00:55 today Tyre is nothing more than a pile of bare rocks
01:00 and the fishermen, they spread their nets on
01:03 the ruins. Well history is full of stories that
01:06 demonstrate that the people who wrote the many
01:08 books in the Bible were inspired by God,
01:10 and the story of Tyre is just one of them.
01:13 Well in our Bible story today we're going to
01:16 hear about a famous Phoenician named Lydia.
01:19 And like many Phoenicians she was a successful
01:22 merchant. Now the Greeks called the Phoenicians
01:24 the purple people, because they were know as
01:27 traders of purple. And Lydia was known as a
01:30 seller of purple because she sold beautiful
01:33 purple cloth. Do you know where all that purple
01:36 came from? The Phoenicians got all their purple
01:39 dye from a mollusk found in the Mediterranean
01:42 Sea off the coast. And a mollusk is a little sea
01:45 creature, like a little snail and it sort of makes you
01:48 wonder where we get all of our purple from
01:50 doesn't it? Well, I am sure you'll enjoy hearing
01:53 about what happened to Lydia. But first it's
01:56 time to visit with Ranger Jim.
02:05 Hi boys and girls, Ranger Jim saying welcome to
02:07 Nature Time, we're glad you can join us today,
02:09 we're in Knoxville, Tennessee at the Knoxville zoo.
02:11 And look what we have, isn't this a beautiful
02:14 creature? Nikki tell us what this is?
02:16 This is an American Peregrine Falcon,
02:20 he is gorgeous. Tell us something about him.
02:22 Well, and these birds have a really interesting
02:25 history and they were considered endangered
02:28 back in 1970, they were declared an endangered
02:30 specie. And they believe that DDT, a pesticide
02:33 was the leading cause of their disappearance.
02:35 And it got into their food chain;
02:37 the farmers were using it for a chemical pesticide
02:41 to help reduce the bug population that they had.
02:44 But it got into their water source and their eggs
02:46 became extremely brittle. So that when they went
02:48 to sit on them they would hatch.
02:50 They would crack and they wouldn't be able
02:52 to hatch. Much of them that affected, the eagles,
02:55 did it not? It did, and all those on top of the
02:57 food chain, exactly. Mention that briefly,
02:59 how does that work? Well it gets into the
03:01 water system and the smaller animals begin to
03:04 eat that, they'll eat the bugs and the things like
03:07 that in the water. Then the larger animals will
03:10 start to eat the rodents and it just continues to
03:12 go on and on. Then the higher up the chain
03:13 the more effect it has on it, okay, exactly.
03:15 Tell us something about their flight, it looks like
03:17 he's built for flight. They are, they are actually
03:19 pretty imaging animals, these are the fastest
03:22 animals in the world and they can dive out
03:25 of the sky with speeds of over 200 miles an hour.
03:28 You said 200 miles an hour, yes, amazing, amazing.
03:34 What do they feed on, they like to eat other birds.
03:37 Oh that's unfortunate, but that's what happens, okay.
03:40 Smaller birds, they will, actually they can catch
03:43 a bird about the same size as themselves and
03:45 they love pigeons. They've been reintroducing these
03:48 birds into cities all around the United States
03:50 and Canada. And they love to nest on cliff
03:54 tops out in the wild. So, in the cities they'll nest
03:57 in the really tall skyscrapers.
03:59 Well that's neat, then in Chicago or New York
04:01 upon the ledges you have the Peregrine Falcon.
04:03 And there's a very abundant food source there pigeons
04:07 so, pigeons and so, they really like them.
04:09 And most people don't feel too bad if they eat
04:10 an occasional pigeon, right, exactly.
04:12 Alright tell me now when they're nesting
04:14 how many eggs would they lay? I think they lay
04:17 about two to four eggs, it just depends.
04:20 Do both mother and father feed or,
04:22 actually I am not sure about that,
04:26 I couldn't tell you right off about which one
04:28 and I do believe mostly the mother would feed
04:30 but the father does occasionally help with
04:32 the mother or so. I would think that was
04:34 probably true with them too that, and then,
04:36 then when they're young fledged, do they stay
04:38 in the general area then of the parents are?
04:40 They do somewhat for a certain of time and
04:43 then they'll find their own area. And we actually
04:45 in downtown Knoxville have an area that we
04:49 have two that come back every single year and nest,
04:51 wonderful and then bird lovers are there to
04:54 watch and gather round the cloud of them like that.
04:57 Now do they have any natural enemies
04:59 or predators that would feed on them other than
05:01 man or. Well man is the number one predator
05:04 for them and they have to be pretty careful,
05:07 they're pretty fast so they don't have too many
05:09 predators but and the great horned owls might
05:12 try to get them if they're available.
05:14 It's mostly when they're young that they have
05:16 the hardest time and only about 80 percent
05:18 of birds make it through their first year,
05:21 so it's mostly, that's a tragedy because we find
05:25 that in songbirds and many other birds and
05:28 migration radio towers, television towers
05:30 and things like that. And most people don't
05:32 realize boys and girls how many collisions that
05:34 birds do have with wires and guy-wires on antennas,
05:38 smoke stakes and things like that in migration
05:41 that always saddens me, so we get around
05:43 smokes stack like that and see these tiny
05:45 beautiful little warblers that are in transition,
05:47 migrating and fly into things like that.
05:50 But this bird, it is carnivorous right it
05:53 lives on other birds like that. And you are just
05:56 beautiful, he has a nice song, doesn't he,
05:59 he sings like that, yes. Well it strikes fear
06:01 in the hearts of some birds. Right now let me
06:05 get this, we're getting this boys and girls from
06:07 an expert and this lady knows what she is talking
06:10 about, this bird can dive out of the sky at 200
06:14 miles an hour. They've actually been clogged
06:16 about 270, so over 200 miles an hour.
06:20 That is just unbelievable. We mentioned earlier
06:23 though that they had, that their story was
06:25 tragic that were placed on the endangered
06:27 species list but as of August 1999 they've
06:30 been taken off the endangered species,
06:32 alright, so that is a definite step in the right
06:34 direction. They're now just considered a
06:36 threatened species, but they still need the
06:38 assistance and they need us to be carefully
06:40 share the earth with them, exactly.
06:42 Oh wonderful, boys and girls, Ranger Jim telling
06:45 you don't forget to tell Jesus that you love him
06:47 because he really does love you.
07:00 Hey kids have you ever wondered about what
07:02 the pastor was preaching about?
07:03 One night a man came out to pastor Ackley.
07:06 He didn't understand about Jesus rising from
07:08 the dead and so he wondered why he should
07:09 serve somebody who is dead. Pastor Ackley
07:12 was so happy to explain that Jesus wasn't dead
07:14 but he is alive. Later as he was reading his
07:16 Bible Pastor Ackley understood in a new
07:19 way the words he is risen. Always ready
07:21 for new sermon ideas and songs, he wrote down
07:24 the words to the song he lives. The thought
07:27 of Christ being alive made the words come quickly
07:29 and easily. Just remember boys and girls
07:33 no matter what Satan did to Jesus on
07:35 that cross. Satan lost, Jesus won, he lives.
07:45 I serve a risen Savior, he's in the world today;
07:49 I know that he is living whatever men may say;
07:53 I see his hand of mercy; I hear his voice of cheer,
07:57 And just the time I need him, he's always there
08:02 He lives, he lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
08:06 He walks with me and talks with me
08:09 along life's narrow way.
08:11 He lives, he lives, salvation to impart!
08:16 You ask me how I know he lives?
08:21 He lives within my heart.
08:30 Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian,
08:32 Lift up your voice and sing.
08:34 Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ the King!
08:38 The hope of all who seek him, The help of all who find,
08:42 None other is so loving, so good and kind.
08:47 He lives, he lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
08:51 He walks with me and talks with me
08:54 along life's narrow way.
08:56 He lives, he lives, salvation to impart!
09:01 You ask me how I know he lives?
09:06 He lives within my heart.
09:23 Welcome to learning time, I'm glad that
09:26 you've joined us today. Has anybody ever asked
09:29 you an impossible task to do, has anybody ever
09:33 asked you to do something that was impossible?
09:35 Well sometimes people ask us things and sometimes
09:39 we have problems that are just too hard for us
09:41 to solve. I've got a problem for you to try
09:43 to solve today. Now everybody has a pair
09:46 of scissors. If you have some scissors
09:48 and a piece of paper you can try this too at
09:50 your home because this is really fun and it's really,
09:53 really good science. Now I want you to hold
09:55 your paper up like this, and with our scissors
09:58 today we're gonna try to put a hole.
10:01 We're gonna cut a hole in a piece of paper big
10:04 enough, so that you can walk right through it.
10:07 In fact I've got Jesse right here.
10:09 Jesse is gonna help me and Chloe, and Jesse
10:12 is going to walk through a hole in a sheet of paper
10:15 that Chloe and I are going to hold and that's
10:18 going to be exciting. But first I want you
10:19 to try it, so why don't you try to cut a hole
10:22 in a piece of paper big enough for you to fit
10:26 right through it can you that, go ahead cut it.
10:28 Make that hole as big as you can and we are gonna
10:31 see if they can do this, because this is a great
10:34 project in engineering and design.
10:37 So we're just gonna cut this, we'll gonna make
10:39 that hole as big as we can, how are you doing,
10:42 you're doing good. Who's got their hole ready
10:44 already? Who's got it ready? Anybody got it ready?
10:47 I want to see you a hole, who's got it.
10:50 You got a hole over there; oh I am seeing one
10:53 over there. Oh look at there I can see you
10:55 through that hole, he is got a hole that he could
10:57 put his whole face right through but you know
10:59 what Jesse's got a walk through that hole in that
11:03 piece of paper. So how we are doing,
11:06 can I see yours? Let's take a look at Chloe's,
11:08 look at Chloe's, this is interesting.
11:10 Let's see can I walk through this,
11:12 I can get my head through there Chloe
11:14 I am not going to be able to do that,
11:16 so I'll tell you what? Let's see if we can
11:18 get Jesse, Jesse, can you walk through that.
11:19 It's not gonna, oh it's not gonna work,
11:22 it's not big enough. You know some times our
11:24 problems seem to be too hard for us.
11:27 And so you know how we solve those kind of hard
11:30 problems. We ask for help and somebody can
11:33 help us with those problems. And I got
11:35 a sheet of paper right here on my sheet of paper,
11:39 I have a plan, I have lines and dots and
11:43 if you're cut on the lines and if you fold on
11:47 the dots you'll be able to do what I did just
11:50 before this program. And here's my sheet of paper,
11:53 I am gonna hold it up, so that you can kind of see
11:55 this. I am gonna take the sheet of paper right off
11:59 of this index thing and let's see if this is big
12:03 enough and Chloe, Why don't you to hang on to
12:05 that part of it right there, okay and put your foot
12:09 kind of, oh oh, it just tore didn't it?
12:11 Well we'll put it right here, we're gonna glue
12:13 this thing back together, I'm gonna step on this
12:15 part right here alright and we're gonna hold it open.
12:18 Now Jesse can you walk through this piece of paper,
12:21 yeah, well go ahead, just step right through that.
12:24 Hey, give Jesse a hand, this is great.
12:27 If you ever want to do something that seems
12:30 to be impossible like making a hole in one
12:33 sheet of paper that sounds like its impossible
12:36 doesn't it? But it's not if you've got the pattern,
12:39 if you got the plan. You know there are people
12:42 that can help you, there are people that can
12:45 help me with our problems, all we have to do is ask
12:47 them. This is a great exercise in engineering
12:51 and design, isn't it? Oh yeah and you know
12:55 boys and girls who is the best person that
12:58 we can take our problems to? God.
13:01 Well it's Jesus because he can solve all our
13:03 problems if we just tell him about it he wants
13:06 to help us and he wants to take all of
13:08 our problems, that is what I really appreciate
13:12 about Jesus. Remember when we learn science
13:16 we're learning something new about our creator God.
13:36 Oh sir, sir, would you like to buy some pretty fabric.
13:41 Oh, I'm sorry, I can't but this fabric reminds
13:46 me of someone. Does it? Yeah.
13:48 Tell me about it, what is your name?
13:49 Oh I'm Claudia and you are? My name is Paul.
13:53 Paul. Yes, from Tarsus. Oh Are you the Paul
13:57 the Apostle, yes, yes. Oh well it's nice to meet
14:00 you Paul. Thank you, thank you.
14:02 This material reminds me of a lady named Lydia
14:06 from Thyatira, really I, selling purple.
14:10 I think I've heard about Lydia yes. Oh a lady,
14:13 do you know her well? Yes, yes.
14:15 We were visiting the village of Thyatira, yes,
14:19 traveling through. It was on Sabbath where we
14:22 walked out to the river. Oh it's so pretty at the
14:25 river, beautiful, its beautiful place.
14:27 And a great place to spend the Sabbath, yes,
14:30 what happened? Lydia was there with several
14:32 other ladies, we went over, sat down and just
14:37 started talking with them, yes. She asked me where
14:42 I was from, I told her, yes. But then I started
14:47 telling her the most important thing I know.
14:49 What was that? That is about Jesus Christ.
14:53 I've heard about him, I don't know much
14:57 but I've heard he's a good man,
14:59 I would love to tell you about him, would you?
15:02 Yes. He grew up in Nazareth, he was in a
15:06 carpenter shop, yes, and then he left the
15:11 carpenter shop went out into the wilderness.
15:14 Why did he do that? He needed time alone with
15:17 his God, you know in a busy village sometimes
15:20 you need to get away. Well he stayed away for
15:23 over 30 days, 40 days to be exact, so long,
15:27 so long. Called 12 men to become disciples and
15:31 then this Jesus went around the villages,
15:35 healing the sick, healing the blind, raising the
15:39 dead Claudia. No, it was really true, it's all true.
15:44 I heard things like that but I didn't know
15:46 if I should believe it or not you know.
15:48 Then you probably also heard that they took
15:51 him out and crucified him, yes, I did hear about that.
15:54 His disciples ran, but on Sunday he rose from
16:00 the tomb, he had conquered death,
16:03 the 12 disciples that had run in every direction
16:06 were now in the downtown village and telling about
16:08 him, is it really true? Yes, it is, I mean I had
16:11 heard something like that, yes. It's really true?
16:13 And I saw him myself, I was on a horse on the
16:16 way to Damascus, he blinded me and now
16:19 I'm his follower I can see and I can't wait until
16:23 he returns. I got to know more about this Jesus,
16:27 Lydia was the woman who was the most hospitable.
16:33 I want to tell you more Claudia;
16:34 oh I would love to hear more. Thank you. Paul,
16:39 yes, why don't you stay in our village?
16:43 Wherever they ask us to stay, we stay until
16:45 they throw us out, oh, we love to.
16:48 Then I can know more about this Jesus.
16:51 I'll see you tomorrow Claudia, okay thank you,
16:54 bye, bye. Thank you, thank you,
16:55 goodbye now, bye, bye.
17:12 He is Lord, He is Lord!
17:21 He has risen from the dead, and He is Lord!
17:32 Every knee shall bow, Every tongue confess,
17:43 That Jesus Christ is Lord He is Lord, He is Lord!
18:02 He has risen from the dead, and He is Lord!
18:13 Every knee shall bow, Every tongue confess,
18:24 That Jesus Christ is Lord.
18:42 Hi boys and girls it's time for Miss Brenda's
18:48 book of the day. And we have Skeeter the
18:51 Wildly Wacky Raccoon and its by VeraLee Wiggins,
18:55 it's Julius and Friends book four.
18:57 And let me just share this with you.
18:59 Skeeter! What are you doing now?
19:02 When Chris adopts an abandoned baby raccoon,
19:05 he finds out how much fun and how much trouble
19:08 a raccoon can be. From a tiny baby whose eyes
19:11 aren't open, to a busy and curious raccoon
19:14 whose eyes never seem to close,
19:16 Chris's pet keeps the whole family busy.
19:19 Skeeter, come back here with my crystal
19:21 peacock! Skeeter, stop changing the channels
19:24 on the TV! When Chris's brother begins to feed
19:27 other wild raccoons at the creek, Chris just knows
19:30 that these wild raccoons will lure Skeeter away
19:33 from him. What can he do to make his water-loving,
19:36 TV-watching, gross-bug- chewing friend stay with
19:40 him? Find out when you read Skeeter
19:43 the wildly wacky raccoon and you are gonna have
19:46 a lot of fun reading this book boys and girls.
19:49 You know we are also gonna have a lot of
19:51 fun in the program today and I'm so excited to share
19:53 with you some friends that are visiting here
19:56 all the way from Sweden and I'd like you to meet
19:58 them right now. This is Emmy and Emmy,
20:01 this is your mom Ann Christine. Now you don't
20:05 speak English, do you? And mom you're gonna
20:09 have to translate for me so she knows what
20:10 I am saying so, she doesn't speak English,
20:13 so her mom is going to translate right?
20:15 Yes. So Emmy, I want you to tell the boys
20:18 and girls what do you do? First of all let's
20:20 find out where in Sweden do you live?
20:22 [Foreign language]
20:26 In Burlov, outside Malmo, the southern part of
20:29 Sweden. The southern part of Sweden,
20:31 and have you enjoyed your visit to the United States?
20:35 [Foreign language]
20:38 Yeah, yes, very fun. Very fun, well that's good.
20:41 Well, I want to know, what you do in
20:44 Sweden to share Jesus? [Foreign language]
20:58 I have friends. [Foreign language]
21:08 And they ask a lot of questions why I go to
21:10 church, because normally children don't
21:12 go to church, Okay. [Foreign language]
21:22 And I have two friends and one is called Felise
21:24 and the other one is called Josephine
21:28 [Foreign language]
21:35 Once my friend Felise called me to ask
21:38 if she could sleepover at my house.
21:40 [Foreign language]
21:49 And we asked our parents if she could
21:51 sleepover from Saturday to Sunday.
21:53 [Foreign language]
21:56 But that did not work out. [Foreign language]
22:00 So instead she slept over from Friday to Saturday.
22:03 [Foreign language]
22:07 She followed us to church on the
22:09 Sabbath morning, on Saturday morning.
22:11 [Foreign language]
22:14 And we went to children's Sabbath school together.
22:16 [Foreign language]
22:22 And she learned a lot that she did not know before.
22:25 [Foreign language]
22:29 And then next weekend my other
22:30 friend Josephine called. [Foreign language]
22:36 And she also wanted to sleepover at my house.
22:38 [Foreign language]
22:44 And she could choose if she wanted to sleepover from
22:46 Friday to Saturday and come to church
22:49 or from Saturday to Sunday. [Foreign language]
22:55 And she chose from Friday to Saturday.
22:57 [Foreign language]
23:01 And she came to the children's Sabbath school.
23:03 [Foreign language]
23:09 And she also learned things and had fun.
23:12 Do you think your friend will come again?
23:13 [Foreign language]
23:17 She has been back. She has been back, and she,
23:20 well you know what you're gonna have
23:21 to just keep inviting her back.
23:23 [Foreign language]
23:26 I will do that. Yes, well I want to thank you so
23:29 much for being part of the program and
23:31 would like to stay and help me read some letters.
23:34 [Foreign language] Yes, we'll love that.
23:40 Okay well I might have some pictures you can
23:41 help me with, if we have any pictures,
23:43 you can help me hold them up, okay.
23:44 [Foreign language]
23:46 Let's see this one is from Riverside, California,
23:48 and let's see what this says. It says dear
23:51 Miss Brenda, I've already been signed up
23:53 and I have an activity book but we've been
23:55 hoping that you could please pray for a family
23:58 who lost their daughter, she was hit by a pickup
24:01 truck and had fatal head injuries.
24:04 The family is the Puska family, please pray
24:07 for them Miss Brenda, sincerely Cassie.
24:10 Well Cassie, I'm glad that you wrote me
24:13 and ask me, you know prayer is a very powerful
24:16 thing, and it's a sad thing when we lose someone
24:18 close to us isn't it? So boys and girls I would
24:20 like you to pray, everyone pray for Cassie,
24:23 for this family, the Puska family that had a
24:27 fatal injury there, I don't know. Like it said,
24:31 well they lost their daughter who was hit
24:33 by the truck. So we do want to pray for that family,
24:36 would you please. And thank you Cassie for
24:39 writing to us and telling us about it.
24:41 Let's see this letter is from Monique and it's
24:44 from Napa, Iowa. Let's see what Monique has to say,
24:49 she says hi Miss Brenda, my name is Monique
24:53 and I like watching your show, it inspires me to
24:55 learn more about the word of the Lord.
24:58 Could you please make me a part of your kids club
25:01 and send me an activity book, thanks, Monique.
25:03 Yes, Monique, I would love to do that and you know
25:06 what you will learn more about Jesus boys and girls.
