00:03 It's time to share there is a world out there
00:07 looking for a friend like Jesus.
00:10 it's time to share there is a world out there
00:13 let's tell'em that He loves us so
00:17 let's tell'em that He loves us so.
00:24 hi boys and girls
00:26 know it's really hard when someone you loved dies isn't it?
00:29 you know, when Lazarus died, Jesus said that he is only
00:31 sleeping.
00:32 And the bible says that those who are sleeping in the graves
00:35 will rise again to meet Jesus when he comes again at the
00:38 resurrection.
00:40 You know, I had to say good bye to my precious grandma
00:42 who I loved from all of my heart.
00:44 But, you, know, she was sick and she was in so much pain that she
00:47 was actually looking forward to going to sleep in Jesus.
00:51 Because, she knew that the next thing she would see
00:53 when she'll wake up would be the face of Jesus.
00:56 You know, for someone who loves Jesus that doesn't really have
00:59 to be a scary thing, doesn't it?
01:01 But is kind of hard for those of us who were left behind
01:03 because we miss them and it hurts sometimes to
01:06 go on without them.
01:08 One of the saddest tragedies is when a young child dies.
01:12 Oh how the parents mourn when they loose a son or a daughter
01:15 It's like watching a lovely little flower get crushed and
01:18 destroyed before it even had a chance to bloom.
01:22 I'm so thankful boys and girls for the wonderful hope we have
01:24 in Jesus.
01:25 Such tragedies would be impossible to face otherwise
01:28 wouldn't it?
01:30 You know if you've recently lost someone that you love very much
01:33 I don't want you to loose hope because I want you to know this:
01:36 that Jesus loves You so much, and He will heal your broken
01:40 heart.
01:41 Jesus will take care of you and in fact, the Bible says He will
01:45 be your mother, your father, your comforter
01:47 and He will be your closest friend.
01:50 You, know, I'm so homesick for Heaven aren't you?
01:52 I'm homesick for Heaven because in Heaven there's not gonna be
01:55 anymore tears, no more pain, no more death, but each day
01:59 will be more wonderful, more glorious, than the day before.
02:03 I can't wait, can you?
02:05 All right now, let's go to the garden enjoying Nature Dan.
02:16 Welcome boys and girls to my garden.
02:18 and remember today we're kind of talking about some trees
02:20 I've got a lot of helpers here with me, have you seen my tree?
02:23 This is a beautiful tree.
02:26 We call this an ornamental tree.
02:28 Yes, ornamental means pretty, do you guys like pretty trees?
02:34 Yes!
02:35 Do you like ugly trees?
02:36 No!
02:38 We like pretty things and it's one thing that God has given us
02:42 in all this beautiful things on this Earth to look at.
02:45 So we have an ornamental tree.
02:46 Now it's really strange, this is actually a peach tree,
02:51 now a peach tree, I grow peaches on it, in fact I've got some
02:55 peaches that are growing right here, right now.
02:57 But mostly I grow this because it's pretty to look at.
03:01 Now I have some other trees over here, like I've got this one
03:04 right up here which is called a Crape Myrtle tree.
03:07 and that will have beautiful flowers on it in the summer time
03:10 wait till the summer.
03:11 And then over there I've got a big old beautiful Dogwood
03:14 tree.
03:15 Now the dogwood tree has flowers in the spring time
03:18 wait till the fall, that's gonna have beautiful fall colors
03:21 it will turn red like our peach tree is now.
03:25 And then I've got a nice Stuartia tree over there which
03:28 is gonna get beautiful blooms on it, they're like camelia
03:31 blossoms, they're gorgeous, and in the winter time when there's
03:35 nothing on it at all, I have bark, looks like a sycamore bark
03:40 and I have another tree on my property that it's got really
03:43 neat leafs, it's got green and white on it, they call that
03:45 verigated. (???)
03:47 So there are lots of different things, they can make something
03:51 beautiful, in this case we have the color of all these beautiful
03:55 leaves, and in some cases we're gonna have the colors of
03:59 the flowers.
04:00 Like on our magnolia tree.
04:01 Or we're gonna have on our beautiful tree here the Crape
04:04 Myrtle which will have pinks and purples and reds, all kinds
04:09 of beautiful colors.
04:11 I love ornamental trees.
04:13 another favorite tree of mine it's an ornamental, is a thing
04:16 called a Japanese Maple.
04:18 The Japanese Maple comes in all different sizes and types,
04:21 anything from little to all the way really big.
04:24 And a lot of times it has leaves with this kind of color on it.
04:28 Boys and girls, I want to encourage you every day.
04:32 To sow the seeds of God's love.
04:42 Beloved, let us love one another for love is of God and everyone
04:48 that loveth is begotten of God and knoweth God. He who does not
04:52 love, does not know God, for God is love.
04:56 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because
05:00 that God has sent us His only begotten son into the world
05:03 that we might live through him.
05:06 1st John 4: 7-9.
05:16 This love that makes us happy,
05:19 this love that smoothes the way;
05:22 It helps us mind, it makes us kind
05:26 To others every day.
05:30 God is love;
05:32 we're his little children.
05:36 God is love;
05:39 we would be like Him.
05:42 This love that makes us happy,
05:46 this love that smoothes the way;
05:49 It helps us "mind," it makes us kind
05:52 To others every day.
05:57 And when this life is over,
06:00 And we are called above
06:03 Our song shall be, eternally,
06:07 Of Jesus and His love.
06:11 God is love;
06:14 we're his little children.
06:18 God is love;
06:21 we would be like Him.
06:23 this love that makes us happy,
06:27 this love that smoothes the way;
06:30 It helps us "mind," it makes us kind
06:33 To others every day.
06:47 Hi boys and girls, welcome to talk time.
06:50 And I am so happy to be here with you because I have
06:54 my friend pastor C. A. with us.
06:56 Hi pastor, how are you?
06:57 Hi, Miss Brenda, it's good to be here today.
06:58 It's so good to have you, I always love it when you're here.
07:01 and I always learn so much, and I just appreciate the way you
07:04 explain things so simply and so easy to understand.
07:07 Well, thank you very much.
07:08 I have lots and lots of letters, from, you know, they come from
07:11 all over the world, and kids ask me questions all the time that
07:14 I know a pastor needs to answer.
07:16 So I'm so thankful you're here and let's get started,
07:19 how about it?
07:20 All right.
07:21 I have, let's see, the first question is: I'm a Christian
07:23 but sometimes I do have bad thoughts or do bad things, I
07:27 think I need some help, what do you think?
07:28 I think they need some help too.
07:31 And there's help for them in the Word of God.
07:33 He addresses this problem in Romans chapters 5 and 7 I know
07:42 And he touches on it in Galatians.
07:44 And Paul says the same thing, he says "Some times I do things
07:47 I know I shouldn't do. "
07:48 sort of things I should do, I never get around to doing.
07:52 There's always this pressure, to do right and sometimes
07:55 I do wrong, and he says I feel kind of bad sometimes, but,
07:58 his hope is in Jesus Christ and we have the same hope that we
08:01 can do all things through Christ who's strengthen us, that's
08:04 Philippians chapter 4 verse 13, it's a very popular text.
08:07 One of my favorite text.
08:08 It's a great, great text and then in Romans chapter 12:1
08:11 he says not to use our bodies as a sacrifice to the Lord
08:16 as a living sacrifice,
08:18 So we can do this things even some times we feel bad we make
08:21 mistakes, Christ can live in us and He can work through us.
08:25 And we can as Paul says crucify our bodies, we can
08:30 get ourselves to the point when we can love Jesus enough
08:33 so that we can push all men down and get those negative thoughts
08:36 out, and keep our minds stayed on Christ,
08:38 that will help us to do better.
08:39 That's a good point, and you know, being a Christian means
08:42 that we're going to be perfect?
08:44 It means we're trying to be perfect, we are perfecting, but
08:47 we're not perfect.
08:48 And the Bible says if we make a mistake we have an advocate with
08:51 the Father, Hebrews tells us that, so that when you make
08:54 a mistake you can go to Christ, you can confess your sins and
08:57 then he says He is faithful and just to forgive.
08:59 So when you make a mistake, go to Jesus, ask for forgiveness,
09:03 He gives you forgiveness and with that forgiveness comes
09:05 strength.
09:06 So, that you can do better the next time.
09:08 I just might have a question of my own for you:
09:10 If we do something and we ask to be forgiven, God forgives us,
09:15 right?
09:16 But what if we keep on doing and we say: well, you know, God
09:18 can forgive us, so we do what we want to do, and then we'll
09:21 just go and be forgiven.
09:23 David has a text, it skips my mind exactly where it is but he
09:26 says: Keep back thy servant from presumptuous sins.
09:30 You know, the bible says: He that is in Christ doesn't sin
09:33 anymore, means you don't keep on sinning, you don't keep
09:36 on sinning, but as grace comes into your life, as forgiveness
09:39 comes into your life, as Jesus comes into your heart, you get
09:43 victory over sin.
09:45 So those things you used to try and stumble over you don't
09:47 do that anymore.
09:48 You can step over them now, because Jesus is in your heart
09:51 and you don't do those things anymore.
09:53 My dad as you know is a pastor and I can remember him preaching
09:56 in so many of his sermons that Jesus will save us
09:59 from our sins.
10:00 Not in our sins.
10:03 We have another one here "I saw my friend steal a pack
10:06 of gum when we were at the store.
10:08 I didn't say anything and it really didn't cost that much
10:11 I know that stealing is a sin, and I didn't steal, but I didn't
10:15 say anything either, was I sinning too?
10:18 That's one of those sins of omission.
10:24 It's not enough to be there, you need to let your light to
10:28 shine.
10:29 So that means that if a person is making a mistake,
10:33 you have a responsibility to them, to tell them about
10:35 the mistakes, you've got to be very, very careful, because
10:38 people don't like to be corrected.
10:39 They don't like to be told that they're wrong so you have to
10:42 do it in love, some times you may not even want to do it at
10:44 that moment.
10:46 You may want to wait a little while to say, you know, that
10:48 was not a good thing that you did.
10:50 That was not a good thing and we need to pray about that
10:53 and ask God for forgiveness.
10:54 And then you've done your responsibility.
10:56 Your responsibility is to let Jesus shine in your life.
10:59 And sometimes means telling people that they've done
11:02 something that wasn't quite good.
11:03 Do you thing he should go back to his friend now even at
11:05 this point maybe and say something to him?
11:07 I think he should because if you say nothing, your friend
11:11 may feel like you don't have a problem with it and you
11:14 like it.
11:15 So you need to say something because your friend will know
11:17 how you feel about it, and then if he is conscious about it,
11:20 he knows that they can't do that in your presence, because
11:23 it's not something that you like.
11:24 That's a very good point, and you know what, that's a wise
11:28 advice, wise advice.
11:29 We have so many questions, I wish we had time, but I want to
11:32 thank you, for being with us today, and I appreciate
11:34 you being here, pastor.
11:35 You know what, boys and girls, if you have a question for
11:37 pastor C.A. I'd like you to send those questions to me here at
11:41 Kids time and I'll make sure your questions get answered
11:43 because your questions really are important to us.
11:46 And they're important to Jesus.
11:57 When He cometh, when He cometh
12:01 To make up His jewels,
12:04 All His jewels, precious jewels,
12:07 His loved and His own.
12:10 Like the stars of the morning,
12:14 His bright crown adorning,
12:17 They shall shine in their beauty
12:20 Bright gems for His crown.
12:23 Little children, little children,
12:26 Who love their Redeemer,
12:30 Are the jewels, precious jewels,
12:33 His loved and His own.
12:36 Like the stars of the morning,
12:39 His bright crown adorning,
12:42 They shall shine in their beauty,
12:45 Bright gems for His crown.
13:05 Calm down, calm down and tell us what's happening
13:09 Oh, yes, He's alive
13:10 Rebecca, what is happening?
13:11 You remember the little Seth who lives two doors down from me.
13:15 Oh, yes, yes.
13:16 The precious boy that she loves, the only one she has remaining
13:20 you know, she's widow, and the precious boy has been
13:23 the light of her life.
13:25 And you remember the prophet Elijah who came to her during
13:29 the recent famin and they have been hiding
13:33 from Ahab.
13:34 Yes, Ahab has was seeking to destroy him.
13:36 But the Lord took him to a brook and he stayed there
13:39 And he drank from that water until it dried.
13:43 But then He said: Go to the widow, and she will feed you and
13:47 you remember that the widow said - But I only have a little flour
13:51 and a little oil left, and after I make this bread, my son and I
13:56 will die.
13:57 We were all hungry then.
13:58 She taught for sure that they will die together right at
14:01 that time.
14:02 But, Elijah said, don't fear the God almighty, He will
14:07 provide the flour and the oil.
14:10 and your life will be sure.
14:12 Yes and it was.
14:14 And the family continued to feed on it.
14:17 And now, and now the tragedy,
14:20 suddenly, it was like sun stroke something happened to the young
14:23 boy, and he fell, dead, dead.
14:28 And she was saying, how can this be, I listened to God, I obeyed
14:33 God and now my son is dead?
14:36 And she ran to Elijah and she said Elijah, my son has died.
14:41 And what did he do?
14:42 Oh, that man of God, that man of God, he said:
14:45 Oh Lord, God almighty, the living God, and he prayed
14:50 not just once, not just twice, but three times he prayed
14:55 over the boy, it was so amazing that I still can't believe it
15:00 I saw it with my own eyes, but the boy opened his eyes.
15:04 Opened his eyes? Are you sure that he was dead?
15:11 Listen to me, listen to me, everybody, he was cold, his
15:16 body was stiff, he was dead like all that we morn over.
15:21 And the mother was grieving and I was crying, and I thought
15:25 for sure, how could this be fall on her, she believed God...
15:28 All that she' gone through, she trusted him, do you know that
15:32 God calls us all to trust in Him?
15:35 To believe what our faith could do, and then He would provide
15:40 And He provided.
15:41 And do you know that when her little boy opened his eyes she
15:45 left out a scream of joy.
15:48 Oh God almighty, You have raised my son, praise God he is
15:53 with me.
15:54 It was a beautiful moment.
15:55 Where are they now, can we see them?
15:57 They're at the house, I left running to tell you all
16:01 I want everybody to know.
16:03 I want to see this boy.
16:06 Come, let's go see him.

21:20 I would like that very much
21:22 Now you brought some one very special here today, who did you
21:24 bring with you?
21:25 David.
21:26 And who is David?
21:27 He's your big brother isn't he?
21:30 And I think that David does something special to share Jesus
21:33 here's your prayer book back
21:34 David what do you do to share Jesus?
21:36 I share Jesus by going on a mission trip.
21:40 I went to the South American country of Peru.
21:44 Where I and about 30 people help to build a multi purpose
21:49 building that could be a school or church for the local people
21:53 Let me ask you this:
21:54 What kind of work do you actually do yourself?
21:57 I help carry the blocks to build the walls.
22:00 Was that pretty heavy?
22:01 Yes, it was a lot of hard work, it was really hard.
22:04 Did you get to do any
22:07 preaching when you were over there, did you get to actually
22:10 say to people about Jesus?
22:12 No, I didn't get to do anything like that, but I did get one day
22:15 and help a dentist pull people's teeth and they
22:18 and they passed out?
22:21 And when you said you have pulled their teeth what part
22:23 did you take in that?
22:24 I would help the passed out, or I would give the dentist
22:28 the tools that he needed and when he would finish with them
22:31 I would wash them and clean them for the next patient.
22:33 I could tell you. miss Brenda went as a missionary nurse
22:36 to Mannington for a month and with my sister Linda, and we
22:40 did have a dinner starter trip and I know that at the end of
22:43 the day we had buckets worth of teeth, it was a lot of teeth
22:47 they've pulled, so that was a big job.
22:48 Let me ask you this:
22:50 You've brought some pictures with us, let's put them up on
22:52 screen right now and let's see, tell me what are we looking at
22:55 right now?
22:56 Ok there, we are working at the front wall of the building
23:01 and there, they're kind of in the middle of laying block
23:06 Ok, and what's this next picture?
23:08 That's another one of the wall,
23:11 and we're getting a little bit higher there,
23:13 Ok, higher, so you're getting finished and we have the next
23:16 picture.
23:17 And there that is a picture of my dad laying block on the
23:20 back wall.
23:21 So your family went over there as a family?
23:23 Well my dad and two of my brothers and I.
23:26 Ok and what is this here?
23:27 There I am sifting sand for the mortar that goes between
23:31 the block.
23:32 That looks like a heavy job to me.
23:33 It was a lot of hard work.
23:35 And then what's happening here?
23:37 There's the dentist pulling a tooth that I helped.
23:39 And you were handing the instruments?
23:41 Yes.
23:42 And there's a girl shining a flashlight, looks like.
23:43 There's an assistant also.
23:45 Wow, David that sounds like an exciting trip.
23:47 Would you want to do it again?
23:49 Oh, yes.
23:50 It was a lot of fun.
23:51 And did you have good food to eat over there?
23:53 What kind of food did they have for you?
23:54 We had a lot of fruits like papaya and mango,
23:59 and we had potatoes and a plant called yucca that's similar
24:04 to potatoes
24:05 Was that good?
24:06 Yes
24:07 Oh good.
24:08 A lot of rice and beans also.
24:10 Well you guys had a lot more food than we did, we ended up
24:12 but just rice and beans.
24:14 So anytime we can share Jesus in a such a special way to our
24:18 brothers and sisters, wherever we are, especially right next
24:22 to home or away from home it is important to do, and I'm
24:25 proud of you for doing that.
24:26 Brendan thank you for also for bringing your
24:28 brother here to tell us about that.
