00:03 It's time to share there's a world out there,
00:06 Looking for a friend like Jesus. It's time to share
00:11 there's a world out there; let's tell them that
00:14 He loves us so. Let's tell them that He loves
00:18 us so. Kids Time, Kids Time, Kids Time.
00:25 Hi boys and girls. I just have something in my hand
00:27 that you might recognize, in fact just some coins.
00:30 Look at all these coins, I have some dimes and quarters
00:33 and nickels and pennies even. And you know what
00:38 sometimes when you are playing around in your
00:40 house or maybe even at someone else's house
00:42 you might come across to coin or two that's fallen
00:44 on the floor or maybe it's lying on the counter.
00:47 But maybe you might think well it might just be
00:49 a penny or a nickel not worth very much money is it.
00:53 But have you ever been tempted to just pickup
00:55 that money when no one is looking and just maybe
00:57 slipped it into your pocket. Well, I'm sure you probably
01:01 been faced with that kind of temptation at sometimes
01:03 right. And it's easy to think oh it's just the little bit
01:06 of money and no one is gonna miss it anyway
01:08 and I'm right as well just make it mine.
01:10 Well, I know a little boy named Taylor who found
01:12 a few coins in the laundry room of his one day.
01:16 Now, he really wanted to keep that money for himself.
01:19 After all, he had two sisters and they had purses
01:21 and they carried around all their coins in their purses
01:23 and you know what he thought I would like to have
01:27 some money to and my grandma just gave me a
01:29 valet and you know what I don't have any money
01:32 in that valet. Well, I think I'll just keep that coin
01:34 and put it right into my valet and it doesn't matter
01:37 if probably nobody else money they are not gonna
01:40 miss this anyway. Well Taylor carried that money
01:43 around into this pocket all morning on and it made
01:45 him so unhappy and so sad that you know what
01:48 he did, he finally went to his mother and he handed
01:50 her the coin and he said you know what mom,
01:52 I found this in the laundry room and he confessed.
01:55 You know what, I'm so sorry I was gonna keep it,
01:59 I just couldn't. I'm really sorry will you forgive me.
02:02 You know, his Mom was so happy not because
02:04 she has the money back 'cause it really wasn't worth
02:07 that much, but she was really happy because her boy
02:10 was honest with her. You know she said Taylor
02:12 you have something more valuable than all the money
02:15 in the world. And he looked at her and like what
02:18 is she talking about. And his mom told him you have
02:21 a good conscious. And a good conscious is the gift
02:25 that you received when you meet Jesus and its worth
02:28 more than all the money in the world. Well in today's
02:32 Bible story, you'll hear about a man who met Jesus
02:34 and you'll hear how Jesus changed his heart and you'll
02:37 read the whole story in Luke 19, I like you to save
02:40 that in your Bibles write that down, so you can
02:42 look it up. Because you're also gonna find out how
02:44 Jesus gave him the gift of a good conscious and
02:48 that's going to be an interesting story today
02:50 I can promise you that, but first let's see
02:52 what Ranger Jim has for us today.
03:01 Hi, boys and girls Ranger Jim saying welcome
03:03 to Nature Time. We're glad you can join us today,
03:06 we are at beautiful Raccoon Mountain Caverns
03:08 near Chattanooga, Tennessee and it is a
03:11 spectacular place to be we have enjoyed it so much.
03:14 And my friend is going to tell us something about.
03:16 These Fossils what are these?
03:19 Yes, these are called Crinoid Fossils and our cave
03:24 the limestone from which it formed is made up mostly
03:28 of the Crinoid Fossils. These animals for a longtime,
03:33 scientists thought they were extinct and it wasn't until
03:37 about 15, 20 years ago that National Geographic
03:41 actually found some alive on the bottom of the
03:44 pacific ocean and they called them sea lilies when they
03:48 first found them because they looked like real pretty
03:51 plants they had stem looking thing that came up and
03:54 they had these real pretty leaf looking things that they
03:57 wave through the water. So they thought they were
03:59 plants come sea lilies then they got to studying them
04:03 and found out they were actually the same thing
04:05 as these Crinoid, so what they thought
04:07 once was extinct is not really.
04:11 And so they've found them after surviving and they are
04:13 growing like, are they small. They could be small,
04:17 but the longest one that found of grown over 70
04:20 feet long. 70 feet, that's amazing. Huge. Yes.
04:24 How are they range on the bottom of the ocean.
04:26 Well, they stand up from the bottom of the ocean.
04:30 They have a hold fast that looks like a root system
04:32 and this is part of where they got confused with was it
04:35 a plant or was it an animal. It goes up like this okay
04:40 the stem looking part. It's actually its digestive system
04:44 going to down the center of this and then on
04:47 top they have the tentacles that they were just
04:49 filter feeding. Alright now explain to me what is filter
04:52 feeding mean alright. That means they couldn't
04:55 move around, they just waved the tentacles around
04:58 them whatever happen to come near there
05:00 tentacles that's what they closed up on and ate.
05:03 So it could be plankton. Alright, that's how they
05:06 survive in the ocean and in and then this is fossil,
05:09 this is the early remains of those creatures
05:11 that we find on the sea. Yes. When they die they
05:14 fall over. Usually they break into smaller pieces and
05:18 overtime get some pieces of that and clay that mix with
05:24 sand and gets crushed into rock.
05:27 From into the limestone like and so when boys and girls
05:30 they have maybe out if they find a stone that has
05:33 a fossil in it, oh, absolutely in this area you can go
05:38 out in the parking lots pick up the little pieces of
05:42 gravel find crinoids in them. One of our local
05:45 school playgrounds the children go out,
05:47 go fossil hunting on the play ground.
05:49 Isn't that neat and some boys and girls if they live
05:51 in Michigan and some of the Great Lake States
05:53 they might go out and find Petoskey stones
05:56 and things like that. Yes, absolutely.
05:58 That's a neat thing that boys and girls can do that
06:00 you could occupy yourself with and if you really
06:03 our age till that or book that you could get who
06:05 enlighten yourself about fossils and add that
06:08 as a new hobby couldn't you. Yes.
06:10 Now, I have one question over here buddy,
06:13 there are so many beautiful things here in the cave
06:15 and I wanted to ask you about that.
06:16 I see some green things here, some green formations
06:20 that I see what are those green things that I see?
06:23 Okay normally in cave we don't have anything green.
06:27 The green in this area is because of moss were
06:31 very, very close to the surface here there is only
06:34 about 20, 25 feet of ground between the ceiling here
06:39 in the outside surface and so as rain water comes
06:42 down through the soil it's picking up moss spores
06:45 that actually hang on the ceiling and can grow just
06:50 from our lights in the back part of the cave
06:53 we have no green and it pulls the water it needs
06:56 from the air because the cave is really humid.
06:59 Amazing isn't that. So that edges the ring color
07:01 to the cave. Yes. Just wonderful boys and girls.
07:04 We've enjoyed it so much. So, boys and girls as always
07:07 this is Ranger Jim saying don't forget to tell Jesus
07:10 that you love him because he really does love you.
07:22 Well, I know that the Lord is great and that
07:24 the Lord is above all. Psalms 135:5.
07:40 Above all powers above all kings
07:46 Above all nature and all created things
07:52 Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
07:59 You were here before the world began
08:04 Above all kingdoms above all thrones
08:11 Above all wonders the world has ever known
08:17 Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
08:24 There's no way to measure what You're worth
08:31 Crucified laid behind a stone
08:37 You lived to die rejected and alone
08:42 Like a rose trampled on the ground
08:49 You took the fall and thought of me Above all
09:01 Above all powers above all kings
09:07 Above all nature and all created things
09:14 Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
09:21 You were here before the world began
09:26 Above all kingdoms above all thrones
09:33 Above all wonders the world has ever known
09:39 Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
09:45 There's no way to measure what You're worth
09:53 Crucified laid behind a stone
09:59 You lived to die rejected and alone
10:05 Like a rose trampled on the ground
10:11 You took the fall and thought of me Above all,
10:24 You took the fall and thought of me Above all.
10:46 Welcome to Learning Time. Hey I'm glad you are
10:48 here today. Today, we're gonna to do a special
10:51 experiment. It's all about air. Do you like air? Yes.
10:55 How many of you like air. Well how many have air today.
10:58 Oh, me I've had lots of air today. I've got a special
11:01 helper John is gonna help me with this experiment.
11:03 John do you like air? Yeah, what do you do with air?
11:06 Breathe it in. breath. Do you breathe air. Yes.
11:09 Today, we're gonna, let's use some cups and you know
11:12 and at home today you can to do this experiment
11:14 to do and this is a fun experiment to do.
11:17 I've got two cups right here and they are plastic
11:18 and if we drop them they won't break that's a good
11:20 thing right. Okay, don't use your nice glass cups
11:25 because they will break. And so we're gonna pour some
11:27 air John are you ready? Okay, just do
11:29 what I'm doing it, we're gonna take some,
11:31 what's in these cups. Air. There is air inside of the
11:35 cups. So, let's pour some air into this,
11:38 can you pour just little bit, I want to pour some
11:39 on here. You think it's full. Well, I think it was full
11:44 before we ever started because they were
11:46 both full of air right. Hey let's do an experiment,
11:49 we've got an aquarium you now if you don't have
11:51 fish you know you can do it with your aquariums.
11:52 You can make a terrarium out of them or you can do
11:56 some of these science experiments that we're gonna
11:58 do today. Now I have this, what is this?
12:02 It's a paper towel. Now, I'm gonna take this paper
12:04 towel and John I'm gonna to put it in the bottom
12:06 of one of your cups right here. Okay,
12:08 now I want you to put that cup in the water without
12:12 getting the paper towel wet. Can you do that?
12:16 Well let's try. Hey let's see what gonna happen
12:17 right here. We're gonna look right down inside
12:19 of this container right here and there it goes,
12:21 the cup is going right in the water and you think
12:24 the paper towel is wet. No, what we're gonna
12:27 find out when John brings it out okay bring it out
12:29 here and let's check it out, let's see if the paper
12:31 towel is wet. Is it look wet? No, no let me reach,
12:35 let me reach inside here with my fingers,
12:37 we can get his paper towel out. We're gonna drag
12:38 this paper towel, does that look like a wet towel?
12:42 No, no it's dry and there was air we trap,
12:45 John trap some air inside the cup and so it was
12:48 protected wasn't it from getting wet. Well,
12:50 so we know that we can put air in a cup and
12:53 put it under water and still have air in the cup.
12:56 Now, John here is what we have to do.
12:58 We're gonna take and try this cup right here
13:00 and I want you to fill this cup up with water can
13:04 you do that? So, he is gonna put it right underneath
13:06 the water and it just fill, did you see it filling up.
13:09 Yes the air went out the water came in,
13:12 air and water can't be in the same place at one time.
13:15 It's really difficult okay. Now turn that cup upside
13:17 down okay in this left hand. And he has got this
13:20 cup and it just has air in it. Now if he is real careful,
13:23 he will be able to turn that cup upside down put
13:25 it right in the water it's going right underneath.
13:28 And now he is going to pour the air out of this cup
13:31 in his right hand. And that air is going to go right
13:34 into the cup in this left hand.
13:37 You see those air bubbles. Yes, that's air that was
13:39 trapped inside of that cup. And it's going to fill up
13:43 or cup almost to the top or the bottom in this case
13:47 with air. That's interesting, now let's go ahead
13:50 and why don't you take this cup out,
13:53 can you take this cup out and see what happens
13:57 what was in there. It was full of water first it was
13:59 full of air. Now we has air in this cup right here,
14:02 so why don't you bring that one up to and it still
14:04 has air and have you ever pour water like that?
14:08 Oh, we pour water all the time, but have you ever
14:10 poured air? No, you can do that, you can put this
14:13 in your bath tub. How many of you take a bath,
14:17 at least once a week or so. And you can do that
14:19 right in your sink if you have a big sink.
14:21 We can actually pour air under water and that's a fun
14:25 thing to learn isn't it. That's interesting.
14:27 What about this little paper towel?
14:30 When the paper towel was in the cup did it stay dry?
14:32 Yes, you try that again John. Stick that underneath
14:34 there and let's see if it will stay dry.
14:36 You know that paper towel reminds me of you and I.
14:39 You know, you know we are Christians aren't we.
14:41 And you know God wants us to be in the world,
14:44 water represents the world and this will lot of bad
14:47 things in the world isn't there.
14:48 Yeah, that Christians shouldn't be involved with.
14:50 And you know what God is gonna to protect us
14:52 from those bad things just like that paper towel
14:55 is really dry and it's not getting wet.
14:58 It's just like you and I as a Christian.
14:59 God will protect us from the bad things that the world
15:02 has to offer us. And then we can just come right
15:04 out of the world because someday God is gonna
15:06 to take us to a better place isn't he. That's right,
15:09 and you know what we're not gonna be affected
15:10 by those things of the world are we at all.
15:13 No, we're gonna be affected we are just going to
15:15 be the same Christian as we were before and
15:17 we're not gonna be wet by the bad things at the earth
15:20 can give us the world can be a bad place at times
15:23 can it. But God will give us that power is just like that
15:26 experiment. Hey, I want you to do that experiment
15:28 at home and remember when we learn something
15:32 new about science we are learning
15:34 something new about our creator God.
15:59 Hey, it's good to see you. Joe, how are you,
16:01 good to see you too. I wanted to talk
16:03 to you last week, but you disappeared on me.
16:06 I obviously spend a lot of time with my family since
16:08 Jesus came to Jericho. Did you know that Jesus
16:11 healed grandfather eyes? He did, yeah,
16:13 Jesus has been healing so many people lately right,
16:16 right that man over there, he used to be on crutches,
16:19 he was lame and this week he is walking as though
16:21 he never had a problem. Oh yeah, I remember him
16:24 he used to be so weak and bad. He looks so much
16:27 younger when he stands up tall.
16:30 And isn't that the lady over there that couldn't hear.
16:32 We just yell at her to be heard. Yeah that's right.
16:36 Jesus healed hurt too ha. Yeah, but you know what.
16:41 That's not all of it, there is even a bigger miracle
16:43 that's happened that Jesus has done.
16:45 You will never guess who is changed, who. Zacchaeus,
16:50 Zacchaeus the tax collector. You know the one,
16:55 Zacchaeus is a changed man. He met Jesus,
16:59 how about I tell you about, let's sit down. Okay.
17:03 Come on tell me the story. So, it was a week ago
17:06 and the crowds were coming through the city streets
17:09 with Jesus following behind. And they were just
17:12 swarming around him everywhere there were,
17:15 there were people just all around Jesus and well
17:19 I want to see him I climbed up a tree,
17:21 you know the one we always climb next to the fish
17:23 shelters tent. So, I was climbing up the tree look
17:26 out and I saw the people all around Jesus and the
17:29 people coming in from behind and,
17:30 and they were just swarming and crowding in and he
17:33 had so many people calling for him,
17:34 but he seem to have one person he was looking for.
17:38 Zacchaeus, Zacchaeus, but that's all of it,
17:42 because I was up on our tree and I was looking
17:44 out at Jesus, and all the sudden I felt the tree
17:47 move and the branches were rattling and I looked
17:50 down who do you suppose was climbing the tree.
17:53 Don't tell me it was Zacchaeus,
17:54 it was though it was Zacchaeus and his
17:57 fancy robes and his nice knitting;
18:00 he was climbing up the tree. So you are telling me
18:02 that Zacchaeus is climbing a tree in his best clothes
18:06 like a kid. Exactly, that's what I'm telling you.
18:09 Zacchaeus was climbing up the tree and Jesus
18:12 was walking and next thing I know Jesus had stopped,
18:16 but he stopped right underneath our tree.
18:20 That he talked to you? Well, well, no, he
18:22 didn't talk to me, but he talked to Zacchaeus.
18:25 He said Zacchaeus come down for today I'm
18:29 going to eat with you at your house.
18:32 Jesus said that to Zacchaeus, he did.
18:35 He told Zacchaeus, a tax collector, a sinner that he
18:39 was going to eat with him. Doesn't Jesus know
18:41 what a fake he is? He steals money from people,
18:44 he charges everyone more than he suppose to.
18:46 That's true everybody knows it, and everybody
18:51 is bothered by accept for Jesus. Jesus, Jesus
18:54 told him to come down and Zacchaeus did he
18:56 came down out of the tree and he said,
18:59 the Son of man has come to seek and to save that
19:01 which is lost. It seems like Jesus has isn't
19:04 bothered by the fact that Zacchaeus is a sinner.
19:07 It seems like; he wants to do something to help him.
19:11 Wow, so Jesus can heal people, people spirit
19:16 too? Well yeah, not only did, he heal like the
19:20 man's leg or your grandfather's eyes,
19:23 but his change people's hearts.
19:25 He has made them different. Wow, that's an amazing
19:28 story. In that though, Jesus has changed people
19:33 and it's just amazing what he has done in
19:35 Zacchaeus's life. While Zacchaeus is going around
19:37 and he is giving away half his money to the poor
19:40 and to anyone he reunites four times as much as
19:44 giving back to them. It's amazing that to see the
19:47 change in Zacchaeus. Hey, do you wanna see
19:49 the place, where that change took place.
19:52 Sure why don't we go over to the tree and show me
19:54 just what happened. Hey you wanna come too.
19:56 Let's go. Let's go. So, he was changed
19:59 not only his spirit, but his life.
20:11 Zacchaeus was a wee little man
20:15 And a wee little man was he
20:18 He climbed up in a sycamore tree
20:22 For the Lord he wanted to see
20:26 And as the Savior passed that way
20:30 He looked up in that tree
20:34 And He said, "Zacchaeus, you come down!
20:38 For I'm going to your house today
20:42 For I'm going to your house today"
20:48 Zacchaeus was a wee little man
20:52 And a wee little man was he
20:56 He climbed up in a sycamore tree
20:59 For the Lord he wanted to see
21:03 And as the Savior passed that way
21:07 He looked up in that tree
21:11 And He said, "Zacchaeus, you come down!
21:15 For I'm going to your house today
21:19 For I'm going to your house today"
21:26 Zacchaeus was a wee little man
21:29 And a wee little man was he
21:41 It's time for Ms. Brenda's Book of the Day.
