00:03 It's time to share there is a world out there
00:07 looking for a friend like Jesus, it's time
00:11 to share there is 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.
00:30 Oh, that taste so good, hi, boys and
00:32 girls, oh, there is nothing like a
00:35 delicious glass of water, is it?
00:37 And there is nothing better than a cold
00:39 drink water on a hot day.
00:41 You know how it feels like when you
00:42 are playing, maybe playing ball and
00:44 running so hard you get all hard and
00:46 you are sweaty. Well, after while you
00:48 just can't take it anymore. You have got
00:50 to have a drink of water, so you run for
00:53 the nearest drinking pond and you slippery
00:55 between breathes and you finally,
00:57 ready to play ball again.
01:00 Well, can you imagine living in a world
01:01 without water? I can't. Why you couldn't,
01:04 you couldn't wash your clothes and
01:05 your dishes and your sheets would get
01:07 all grimy and yucky and your hands
01:09 would stay sticky after eating that plum
01:12 or peach, but wait a minute, there wouldn't
01:14 be a plum or peach. They are made mostly
01:17 of water. And boy would you get
01:19 thirsty because there wouldn't be any
01:21 juice because that has mostly water in it
01:24 and by the way, did you know that you
01:27 are made mostly of water too. Well,
01:30 some people used to think that water heal
01:32 diseases and it's true that water is useful
01:34 for washing away the germs that cause
01:36 disease but by itself water doesn't cure
01:39 cancer or diabetes or arthritis,
01:43 nevertheless long ago there was a
01:46 famous pool of water that sometimes
01:48 it was start to gurgle and bubble up and
01:51 many people thought that they could just
01:53 jump into that water while it was moving
01:55 they would be healed of all their diseases
01:57 and one man sat by that pool of water
02:00 for years and years and years and he
02:03 was just ready waiting to leap into
02:05 that water when the water moved.
02:07 But where does healing really come from.
02:10 We're gonna find out today's Bible
02:12 story but first let's visit Ranger Jim.
02:22 Hi, boys and girls, welcome to Nature Time.
02:24 We are glad that you can join us today.
02:25 We are at Knoxville, Tennessee at the
02:26 zoo and we are seeing some wonderful things
02:29 and we have a friend here today,
02:31 Tammy and Tammy what are these
02:33 beautiful birds we are seeing?
02:34 These are Red-Legged Seriema.
02:36 They are from South America.
02:37 They live in Grasslands and you notice
02:40 that they have really nice long legs
02:42 and this is perfectly suitable where
02:43 they live. They actually are predators
02:45 in the wild. They walk through the grasses
02:48 and they can see things from far away
02:49 and it enables them to catch things and
02:52 they have a really interesting method for
02:54 catching and killing their prey, once they
02:56 catch it, they take it somewhere and they
02:58 will do body slams on it which I think
03:00 it's really cool. But what it does it kills
03:03 the prey and it breaks them up because
03:04 birds have no teeth like mammals
03:06 do and they have to swallow things
03:08 whole so it makes it easier
03:09 for them to eat their food.
03:11 So when they catch them like that then
03:13 they just whack it on the ground. Yeah,
03:14 they whack it, whack it, and whack it,
03:16 actually many, many times. And so that
03:18 softens it up, so they can eat it, yes, and
03:20 so their long legs gives him a good view,
03:22 ahead of them, small mammals if
03:23 they would catch mice or voles.
03:24 And they also would kill reptiles, snakes,
03:27 lizards and other birds unfortunately but.
03:30 Yummy, yummy snakes. Yes, yes and
03:32 they actually kills snakes here too, so.
03:35 Anything that it would get in their cage
03:36 by chance would getting in there would
03:38 be in trouble. Correct, if anything they goes
03:40 into their and closer usually does not
03:42 come out. They eat chipmunks, birds,
03:43 snakes, lizards, salamanders whatever
03:46 they can catch. They look like
03:48 very docile bird and doing that.
03:50 Yeah, they are very good nature with us.
03:52 We are able to walk to them, and
03:54 hand feed them, we can actually pick
03:55 them up and put them in crates, when
03:57 we need to move them or away them.
03:58 So they are very good nature birds.
04:00 They just don't anything in their
04:02 enclosure because they are predators
04:03 and they just want to eat it.
04:05 Well I notice a moment ago because
04:08 of the loud traffic that we hear behind
04:10 us on the free way these birds began
04:12 to really call they have a very piercing
04:14 call. Yeah, they have, I think it's
04:16 really nigh call. What they are doing
04:19 is a responding to the traffic noise but
04:21 they also if they hear sirens,
04:22 we have a fire station nearby and they
04:26 actually, it's a kind of an alarm call
04:27 and where they live they are actually
04:29 used by the farmers as sort of an alarm
04:31 clock system. And when predators come
04:33 around at night and try to get into the
04:36 chickens boxes, whatever, they will
04:38 make the same call and it can be
04:39 heard over a mile away. So it
04:41 pretty much wakes up the entire farm.
04:42 A mile, wake up everybody in town. Yes,
04:44 wakes up everybody. They live out
04:46 and usually the farmers are out in the
04:47 country, so there aren't a lot of people
04:48 around, but they wake up everybody in the
04:50 farm. Now are these creatures are
04:52 going to reproduce in captivity here?
04:54 We are really hoping so this is a
04:56 breeding pair. We've just got the female
04:58 last year and we've recently introduced
05:00 it in this winter and we've seen them
05:01 both clucked in sits, which is a nesting
05:04 behavior. So we are really hoping that
05:05 they are going to have babies, yes.
05:07 Have good sign. Now are they quite
05:09 long live creatures or do they live short?
05:11 Yes, they can, they can live like 30 years
05:12 in the wild and they live a lot longer
05:15 in zoos. If you've noticed our female
05:17 has a little bit of a limp and it's because
05:19 she is an older bird and she is on
05:21 medication. Okay, you have good veterinarian
05:23 care. Yes, we do. And what
05:25 have you like this? Yes.
05:26 Now in their native land, are they a source
05:27 of food for people? Yes, they are
05:29 people who will farm them just like
05:30 they do chickens here. They would do that
05:32 and so here at the zoo with good
05:35 veterinary care. These birds
05:36 could live 30, 40 years or so.
05:38 Yes, we have a male who is at least
05:40 30 that we know. At least 30 years.
05:42 Yes. Well, that's wonderful and we
05:44 are glad to learn about that today,
05:45 boys and girls, so Ranger Jim as always
05:48 telling you, our wonderful heavenly
05:49 father made it and He did it right the
05:51 first time. Ranger Jim saying don't forget
05:54 to tell the Jesus that you love Him
05:55 because He really does love you.
06:05 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the
06:07 throne shall feed them, and shall lead
06:09 them unto living fountains of waters:
06:12 and God shall wipe away all tears
06:14 from their eyes. Revelation 7:17.

07:25 Welcome to "Learning Time." Thank you
07:27 for joining us today. Today I've got
07:29 something special to show you.
07:31 Now today I'm gonna use matches
07:33 and you have to be careful.
07:34 You should never be do using matches.
07:36 You cannot try this at home but I want
07:39 to teach you a unique lesson. Alright,
07:41 are you ready? Yeah. Okay,
07:43 I tell you what let's do, let's have the
07:45 front row, let's put our safety
07:47 glasses on. We are working with some
07:49 fire right here and let's see what
07:50 we can get, put your glasses on,
07:52 here we go. I think we're gonna
07:53 be ready. Now what happens
07:55 when we burn paper, tell me? It burns up.
07:59 It burns and what do we get when we burn paper?
08:01 Ashes. Ashes. Have you ever
08:03 burn paper and at the end you
08:05 got ashes? Well, hey, let's go ahead.
08:07 I have my fire proof glove on right here.
08:10 And let's go ahead and light this piece
08:12 of paper on fire and let's just see what
08:15 happens when we burn paper.
08:17 Now it's burns, oh it's warm.
08:19 Can you feel the heat from there?
08:20 Yeah. I am glad we have our safety
08:22 glasses on. Now I am just going to drop
08:24 this in our little tray right here and that's
08:26 going to burn right up. Now is the
08:28 paper going to disappear? No.
08:31 Well, let's find out. I am going to reach
08:32 in and let's just go ahead and grab this.
08:34 Did it disappear? No. Oh no, in fact,
08:38 look what do we have? Ashes!
08:41 We've got ashes, that's interesting, isn't it?
08:43 You know that reminds me of something special.
08:45 Do you know that sometimes you and
08:48 I might sin, you know, have you ever sin,
08:50 you know, the Bible says that all people
08:53 have sinned and come short of the glory
08:55 of God. But you know when we've sin
08:57 we can ask God for forgiveness.
08:59 I've asked God to forgive me for as
09:01 my sins, have you? Oh, that's a good
09:04 thing to do. And you know, what the
09:05 devil does. The devil comes into our
09:07 mind and he says, it's just like this paper.
09:10 Do you think that, that paper is gone
09:12 when we burned it up, no, it's not gone,
09:14 we have ashes, and Satan says look
09:16 at that your sins are forgiven.
09:18 They are all messy and they are all look
09:20 it's not forgiven. Satan puts doubt in
09:22 our mind. Now does God really forgive
09:25 us of our sins? What do you think?
09:27 Yes. Well, I think so too. Let's look at
09:30 how it really works. Now I've got
09:33 another piece of paper right here,
09:34 and I'm gonna get my match ready,
09:36 let's burn this piece of paper.
09:38 Let's find out what happens?
09:40 When God forgives our sins, he absolutely
09:45 erases it. He gets rid off it and let's
09:48 find out. Are you ready? How about
09:50 3, 2, 1. 3, 2, 1. And light this
09:54 on fire, and let's see what happen?
09:56 Where is the paper? Look the paper
10:00 is gone, and when you and I confess
10:02 our sins God forgives us. He forgive them.
10:06 Then he puts them in the depths
10:08 of the bottom of the sea you can't
10:09 get their anymore. He takes them and
10:10 puts some as far as the east is from the west,
10:13 you can't even get there. Aren't
10:15 you happy that happens? Yes.
10:18 Well, I tell you what, next time when
10:20 Satan puts doubt in your mind that
10:22 your sins are not forgiven I want you to
10:25 remember that last piece of paper.
10:27 Our sins are absolutely forgiven.
10:29 They are forgotten and God is true
10:32 to his promise, isn't that great? Yeah.
10:35 Oh, yeah. Remember when we learn
10:38 about science we learn more
10:40 about our creator God.
10:58 Good. Oh do you like that. Yes.
11:02 Which one, should we get this one?
11:04 You want to put it in the basket. Oh hah.
11:08 Robin, Robin, Robin, Robin, you won't
11:11 believe what happened? What happened,
11:12 why you are running? What did you seen?
11:15 I saw with my own eyes. You won't
11:16 believe it. I just can hardly tell you.
11:17 I saw your friend, your friend.
11:20 Jacob! By the pool of Bethesda. Yes.
11:24 Jacob is so saint, he has been there
11:26 for 38 years. He hasn't been able,
11:30 He is not there. What do you mean
11:31 he is not there? I was just there
11:33 yesterday and he was there.
11:34 I am telling you he is not there
11:36 anymore. I saw with my own eyes.
11:38 Well, who took him away? You gonna
11:42 love this. This isn't funny.
11:44 He is wonderful? Guess what
11:47 happened? Tell me.
11:49 I was there. All the people were laying
11:52 there and the water moved.
11:54 Do you know how when the
11:55 water moves everybody
11:56 Did he get into the water? No, he didn't
11:58 get into the water. He can't even move
12:00 anymore and as he would looked
12:02 I saw he looked sad and all of a
12:05 sudden I saw Jesus come in and he
12:09 looked at all those people and sadness
12:12 was in his eyes, and he looked over
12:15 your friend laying by the pool but not
12:18 even able to move, and he went
12:21 over to him and he said, rise
12:25 take up your bed and walk.
12:27 He did? Yes. To Jacob? Yes.
12:32 He was worst one right here? I know it
12:35 and Jacob looked at him and I saw hope
12:39 come into the eyes, your friend, your
12:43 best friend and as he was there, looking
12:46 at Jesus, I saw him get up, he sat up. He sat up.
12:51 Yes, he sat up. Yes, he sat up.
12:53 Yes, he did in 38 years and Jesus
12:56 reached near to him and he took his
12:58 hand and he is like this and Jesus
13:01 helped him up and all of a sudden he
13:04 started saying praise God, praise God,
13:07 and he could move his limbs and everything
13:10 and Jesus said, take up your bed and walk.
13:13 That's so exciting; I wish I have seen that.
13:18 I do, it was wonderful. He rolled up his bed
13:20 and he walked. He walked. He walked.
13:23 Yes, he walked and you know what
13:26 day it was yesterday? It was a Sabbath day.
13:30 Yes, and he took his bed up and he walked.
13:33 On the Sabbath day. Yes, he was
13:36 just healed on the Sabbath Day.
13:37 On the Sabbath! He ran into the temple.
13:40 And you know what? They were excited
13:43 about that all they could see was that
13:45 he had his bed rolled up. So ready to walk.
13:49 I know he can walk and you know what,
13:51 I just, I followed him, I followed him
13:54 to the temple and then Jesus came into
13:56 the temple and he recognized that was
13:59 who would heal to him and he came up to
14:00 Jesus and he just fell at his feet and he
14:03 just thanked him and Jesus raised him up
14:06 and he said, don't sin anymore, he said,
14:09 this is the worst thing happened to you,
14:11 and then he just smiled and Jesus gave
14:14 him a big hug and he just went saying
14:16 praise God, praise God, and he went
14:19 running out of the temple. Look, I am
14:21 sorry but I have to go. I have to tell
14:23 my family about this, but
14:24 I knew you wanted it first.
14:25 Oh, I am gonna tell everyone.
14:28 I know tell everybody. I've got to
14:29 tell the rest of my family.
14:30 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus healed him.
14:35 He walked. Did you hear that?
14:37 He walked. Did you hear that?
14:40 Well, you get hurting leg.
14:42 Why don't you go and see Jesus,
14:44 if he can make people walk.

18:40 is writing to me today, oh,
18:41 and I've got a picture for you,

18:46 little girl. She got kind of a pretty
18:49 black top on and a pink skirt says,
18:51 dear Miss Brenda, my name is Kendra,
18:53 I am 8-years-old. I am in the second grade.
18:56 It says, I bring my friends to church
18:58 and I read devotional to my little
19:00 brother Jacob. I have two brothers.
19:02 One is two-years-old and one is
19:04 10-weeks-old. Well, that's just
19:06 little one, isn't it? It said, I love them
19:08 as much as I love Jesus. I would like to
19:11 sign up for Kids Club, your friend Kiedra.
19:15 Well, isn't she adorable? And then
19:20 I have one here from Christina and
19:22 she is from Loma Linda, California.
19:24 Let's see what Christina has to say,
19:26 way out there in Loma Linda. Oh,
19:30 we have another picture. Oh,
19:32 she has got a beautiful red rose
19:35 in her hair, isn't that pretty,
19:36 boys and girls? It says, dear
19:37 Miss Brenda. I share Jesus at school.
19:40 There are lot of kids in my class that
19:41 don't know the truth about Jesus.
19:43 So I try my best by telling them that
19:46 Jesus is coming soon, but they don't
19:48 really believe me, but I still try to
19:50 tell them. Thank you from Christina.
19:53 I would like to join Kids Club. Well,
19:56 Christina I would love to have you
19:57 join Kids Club. And even though your
20:01 friends at school you seems like you
20:04 are not making any head way and you
20:06 just not getting it, I want you to keep
20:08 trying, don't give up just be
20:09 a good Christian example and pretty
20:11 soon there you're gonna see Jesus
20:13 in you. Right now though I am gonna
20:16 take you far away to another
20:19 country and let's see if you can guess
20:21 where this is? Hi I am Pratisha,
20:26 studying 6th class in SDA school,
20:28 Boboli in Andhra Pradesh in India.
20:32 Though I am a Hindu, I love Jesus
20:34 because he is a true God.
20:36 I want to share this truth with
20:38 my friends, relatives and parents and
20:40 other friends. I think you will all
20:43 believe the Jesus because he is a
20:46 true God. If you pray truly to the God,
20:50 he gives reward for what you want.
20:56 You shouldn't have selfishness.
21:00 Well that's right Jesus is a true God
21:02 and if you guessed India, you were right.
21:05 Well I have a letter here from Africa
21:08 and it says it's from Botswana, Africa and
21:12 I thought a couple of pictures I'm gonna
21:14 show you first, here is one little picture
21:16 and it's, he is got a cross there with him
21:20 looks like there all dressed up and then
21:22 lets see we have another picture here
21:26 with a little girl and a boy on a rock,
21:28 and let's show you that one and looks
21:34 and try to get there over and you can
21:35 see how is that, and let's see what
21:38 the letter says, okay. It says, dear
21:40 Miss Brenda greetings in the name
21:42 of Jesus I have asked my mom to
21:44 write for me I think God for all the good
21:46 work you do at 3ABN, I also thank God for
21:49 3ABN. It has been a very good programs
21:52 and I pray that God may bless
21:54 you and provide your needs.
21:55 I ask that you register me for the kids
21:59 club I would be very happy to receive
22:01 the Bible study lessons and the activity
22:05 book I like Ranger Jim very much.
22:07 I have included pictures. I can hardly
22:11 read the writing, where I was in the
22:14 passion play at Church. Oh that's what
22:18 that was when he was by that
22:19 cross and it says, I love Jesus and
22:21 share him by singing and saying my memory
22:24 verse in church and I like doing that
22:26 very much. He says please write to
22:29 me Tardis. Well thank you so
22:32 much Tardis for that letter and
22:34 also for sending the pictures
22:35 I enjoyed that I know the boys
22:36 and girls did too and keep sharing Jesus,
22:39 won't you? Alright, we have one here
22:42 from Saint Lucia in the West Indies
22:44 and see what this letter says
22:46 oh I've got another picture and this one
22:49 is from really cute little boy.
22:51 Let's see who is this is from, it says,
22:54 dear Miss Brenda greetings
22:55 to you and your friends and
22:57 family in the name of Jesus, the soon
23:00 coming son of God. I am a constant
23:02 listener of kid's time and I love it
23:06 very much. It brings me close to God
23:08 and I want to join Kids Club, please
23:10 and learn about Jesus, to do the
23:11 Bible studies. I love Jesus with all
23:13 my heart and my neighbors.
23:15 I was shared Jesus with them too,
23:18 and all the children in the world.
23:19 It says, yours in Christ, Ezra,
23:21 and it said, I sent you my picture. Yes,
23:24 you did Ezra and you know,
23:26 I am so happy to hear that you love Jesus
23:28 with all your heart and I want you
23:29 to keep sharing with others, will you? Okay,
23:35 let's see we have one here from Kenya.
23:37 Let see who is writing us from Kenya.
23:40 It says, dear Miss Brenda, my name
23:42 is Cynthia and I am 9-years-old.
23:46 I have two sisters. One big sister
23:48 and one small sister, their names are
23:51 Lauren and Jean. I preach to others
23:53 on the Bible so they can understand.
23:57 Please would you tell buddy and Katie
24:01 that I love their part very much on TV,
24:04 I like story time very much too,
24:06 and I would like to join Kids Club.
24:08 I really love Kids Time, yours faithfully,
24:12 Cynthia. Well, thank you Cynthia
24:14 and I am glad you wrote to me and
24:16 I am glad you enjoying the program and
24:18 maybe you could invite your friends to
24:19 come over and watch it with you.
24:21 That will be one way you can share Jesus,
24:22 isn't it? Let's see we have a e-mail here.
24:25 Dear Miss Brenda, my son Romano
24:27 was 1 year and 5 months and we
24:28 enjoy watching Kids Time together.
24:30 Can you please send him an activity book
24:32 for my son and allow him to join
24:34 the Kids Club. He is learning to write
24:38 by making markings on a paper
24:40 and he is also learning to play the piano.
24:42 Well, that's pretty young for that age,
24:44 isn't it? It says, I started to play
24:46 the piano when Romano was just
24:48 last year. Romano has been watching me.
24:50 Now he sits on his chair and plays, claps
24:53 with his two hands when I play.
24:54 Romano was also learning to talk and
24:56 sometimes we preach prayers of Jesus.
24:58 Please pray for him that he will grow
25:01 up to love Jesus. And so God bless you.
25:04 Romano's mummy. Well, thank you
25:06 so much and you know we are just
25:07 so glad that even as a young,
25:09 when they are very, very young
25:11 it's never too early to teach your
25:13 children love Jesus, is it? Let's see
25:15 who I have here. It's always hard
25:18 to decide just exactly which letter to read.
25:20 This one another letter from the
25:22 West Indies and let's see what
25:24 this letter says? I love this letters
25:28 boys and girls. I want to encourage
25:30 you too, not only send letters but
25:31 send me some videos. If you have
25:33 something special you've done to
25:35 share Jesus, send me a video and
25:37 I will put it on that Kids Time.
25:39 It says dear Miss Brenda, my name
25:41 is Adira and I have a 3-years-old sister.
25:47 Her name is Addissa and we are
25:49 young but we really love Jesus
25:51 and we share Jesus by passing out
25:55 Bible stories in our community and
25:57 by praying for the sick people.
25:59 We also enjoy watching the Kids
26:01 Time programs on 3ABN.
26:02 We would also like to join Kids Club.
26:04 We love very much, love Adira and Addissa.
26:08 Well, thank you so much for your letter
26:10 and I am glad that you are enjoying the
26:11 program and yes, I will get you some
26:13 activity books out to you, and I will
26:15 sign you up for Kids Club.
26:17 You know, boys and girls I would
26:18 like to encourage you to join Kids Club
26:20 because you will receive Bible studies
26:22 in the mail. There are all kinds of Bible
26:24 stories and there are quizzes.
26:25 It's lot of funs and I will send you little
26:27 surprises and think about join today,
26:29 won't you? Well, that's all the time we had,
