00:01 It's almost time for Kids Time,
00:03 we're gonna to be late.
00:04 It's time to share there's a world out there,
00:08 Looking for a friend like Jesus.
00:11 It's time to share there's a world out there;
00:16 let's tell them that He loves us so.
00:19 Let's tell them that He loves us so.
00:23 Kids Time, Kids Time, Kids Time.
00:30 Hi boys and girls, I once knew a little boy
00:33 who every time he sat down at the dinner table
00:36 with his family. He started worrying about getting
00:38 the biggest piece of pie or whatever else
00:40 was on the table and when he played with friends
00:43 he took the best toys for himself.
00:45 He always wanted the biggest
00:47 and the best of everything.
00:49 This boy forgot a very important Bible promise
00:52 that says, my God shall supply all you need.
00:56 God doesn't want us to be selfish does he.
00:58 Boys and girls God wants us to think of others
01:01 and we don't have to worry,
01:02 because we can claim that Bible promise for ourselves.
01:05 You will hear in our story today about a greedy man
01:08 who would have been a whole lot better off
01:10 if he had remembered that very promise,
01:12 but right now let's get ready for nature time,
01:17 right Max, let's go.
01:24 Hi boys and girls, welcome to nature time.
01:28 Ranger Jim were here in beautiful Western Montana
01:30 and boys and girls we are out here in our beautiful day
01:34 and God's creation. What are we standing in? Water.
01:38 Water, oh it's amazing.
01:41 How many boys and girls like water? Me.
01:43 Do you like water? I love water.
01:46 We're gonna to talk a little bit about water.
01:47 Did you know that all life on this planet
01:52 depends on water. That's right.
01:54 Without water there is no life. No life.
01:57 And there are some very interesting things
01:58 about water. Now some times this water
02:00 isn't like this. Right now, this water
02:02 that we are standing in is beautiful lake out here
02:05 called Hallam Lake. It is in a liquid form,
02:07 which means it's kind of splashy,
02:09 it's fun to swim in, it's fun to play in, right,
02:12 but it's not always in a liquid form
02:14 is it Ranger Jim? It certainly isn't.
02:15 What's another form that water can be in Ranger Jim?
02:17 Well I think some of these boys and girls
02:20 would know what happens when air temperatures
02:22 reaches 32 degrees what happens to water
02:24 it turns into ice doesn't it.
02:26 To ice cubes what have you.
02:28 Let me tell you something that maybe interesting
02:29 to you boys and girls, Ranger Jim
02:31 worked with heavy equipment
02:32 all of my life an in Michigan,
02:34 it gets very cold. We have lot of lakes
02:36 and we put a new development for houses
02:39 and things like that.
02:40 They wanted to put in a beautiful beach,
02:42 we quite often the bottom of the lake is all mucky
02:45 and nasty and what would happen
02:47 when the lake would freeze over solid,
02:49 we had a minimum of 24 inches of ice
02:51 then they would take a dump truck full of sand
02:54 and back it out on the ice and dump the sand
02:58 on the ice, then they would take a small bulldozer
03:01 just like this water would be frozen solid enough
03:04 that a bulldozer could drive on it.
03:05 They go out and spread all of the sand out
03:08 about this deep all along the beach where it's going
03:11 to be a beach then in the spring when the ice begins
03:14 to melt all the sand settles down to the bottom
03:18 of the lake and it's just like what we're standing on.
03:20 And up in up in the UConn Country
03:24 and up in North West territory
03:25 it's near a place called Inuvik
03:28 and that is very cold country,
03:31 the ice frozen there 30 inches deep.
03:33 There is one stretch where, 30 inches deep,
03:36 it's 30 inches deep like this.
03:38 There is one place that's about 67 miles long
03:42 it's one water wave that's frozen solid,
03:44 they go out with big snow plows and they plow this,
03:47 plow this snow out and the big trucks come in
03:50 and they haul all kind of material,
03:53 like you see going down these highways out here
03:55 those trucks over the water.
03:57 And so Ranger Jim you're saying that,
03:58 that ice is so thick and so strong they can bulldozers,
04:02 they can drive trucks they would have gravel in them
04:05 right on the ice. That's correct.
04:06 Isn't that amazing boys and girls
04:07 there is another form that we haven't talked
04:10 about and that is water can come in the form of gas.
04:13 Gas, can you believe it.
04:15 Now, not gas that you would burn in your car.
04:16 Though some people are trying to do develop that,
04:19 but it's important that water can be come a gas,
04:22 because God created it and He made water,
04:24 so that water is always moving, constantly moving.
04:28 It goes through a cycle where becomes again a gas,
04:31 it comes out of the ocean as a gas,
04:33 it moves as a gas in a cloud over top of these
04:37 beautiful mountains like we have here in
04:38 Western Montana. Right. In it falls as snow.
04:42 There we go. It falls as precipitation. Right.
04:44 And then it melts and it runs back into the rivers
04:47 and goes back out to the ocean.
04:48 Now you might be wondering,
04:50 if it keeps during that over and over again
04:52 they must be a lot of water on this earth,
04:54 because we see a lot of water here
04:56 over 70 percent of the earth's surface
04:59 is covered with water. 70 percent.
05:01 Isn't that something 70 percent,
05:03 almost 3 percent of the earth surface is covered
05:06 in ice like we were talking about before
05:08 that would be on the polar caps,
05:09 both at the north pole and the south pole,
05:11 those are, those are frozen ice packs,
05:14 there are huge many, many hundreds of miles wide
05:17 and so the earth has so much water around it.
05:19 Also, not only is the word earth
05:21 covered with much water
05:23 but inside the human body is full of water.
05:26 You know that many people are as up to
05:29 as high as 78 percent water. Right.
05:32 Isn't that something? Now, even though
05:34 we are made almost completely out of water
05:39 many, many people don't have the water
05:41 that they need to drink.
05:42 Water is used for many things.
05:44 We use water to water our gardens,
05:46 we use water to grow big healthy strong trees.
05:49 We use water to wash our car or to wash our bodies,
05:53 right, but we also like to drink water.
05:55 Boys and girls because of pollution that gets in water,
05:58 five million people every single year
06:01 die from polluted water. Isn't terrible,
06:05 we need to take good care of our water.
06:07 This earth has lots and lots of water,
06:09 but it doesn't have very much water
06:11 that safe to drink.
06:12 Obviously we can't drink the ocean water,
06:14 it's too salty, you'd spit it right out.
06:16 It is terrible. Right.
06:18 And we can't drink muddy water,
06:20 we've been waiting around here.
06:21 See how we have this water all
06:22 sloshed up a little bit,
06:24 can you see how that's not real clear,
06:26 we wouldn't want to drink that without putting
06:28 it through a water filter first would we.
06:30 That's right. Now we could get some harm bugs
06:32 or something. Boys and girls,
06:34 water is so important not just
06:36 for the outside of our bodies,
06:37 but it's very important for the inside of our bodies.
06:39 Again it's important for all forms of life
06:42 that exist on this earth.
06:43 Not only as water important for all
06:46 forms of life, Ranger Jim that exist on this earth,
06:49 but Jesus is more important even than water
06:53 for all forms of life, that is on this earth, Amen.
06:56 Not only did Jesus create all forms of life,
06:58 but Jesus sustains all forms of life
07:02 and that word simply means he keeps it alive
07:05 all through the day, all through the night.
07:07 I just love Jesus for doing that.
07:09 I love life and I enjoy the beautiful things
07:12 that he has made for me and so when we enjoy
07:16 these beautiful things let's think about the fact
07:18 that we couldn't exist without water,
07:20 we can't exist without Jesus. Amen.
07:23 Until next time this is Ranger Rod
07:26 and Ranger Jim saying let's all enjoy
07:29 God's great outdoors.
07:43 You said You'd come and share all my sorrows,
07:51 You said You'd be there for all my tomorrows;
07:59 I came so close to sending You away,
08:06 But just like You promised You came here to stay;
08:14 I just had to pray!
08:19 And Jesus said, "Come to the water,
08:25 stand by My side,
08:28 I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied;
08:38 I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried,
08:49 And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died."
09:00 Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by My side,
09:09 I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied;
09:18 I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried,
09:29 And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died."
09:49 Welcome to learning time.
09:50 I am glad you've joined us today.
09:52 We've got an interesting experiment to do.
09:54 And I've got a few helpers over here.
09:57 DW is over there, DW, have you ever been in snow?
10:00 Yes. Oh hey we're gonna to do an experiment
10:03 that deals with snow today.
10:05 And we have Kerry over here.
10:06 Kerry, have you ever played in the snow. Yes.
10:09 Oh what did you do in the snow?
10:11 One time I made like a snow lump.
10:13 Oh cool, a snow lump. Hey that sounds like fun to me.
10:17 And I've got Stacy. Stacy have ever been in the snow?
10:21 Yeah. Have you ever slid in the snow? Yeah.
10:23 Yeah well today I'm gonna to have all three of you
10:25 come up here because we've got an experiment
10:27 to do on my table over here
10:29 and we've got some safety glasses.
10:31 You know every time we do an experiment
10:32 and we're using chemicals that things
10:35 that might break or things that might blow up
10:36 or fire and everything like that.
10:38 We're going to need some safety glasses.
10:40 So why don't you go ahead and put those on. Wow!
10:43 They look great with those glasses don't they? Yes.
10:46 We got to protect our eyes.
10:48 now I've got something in this beaker right here,
10:50 this what we call a beaker
10:51 and what is that look like guys.
10:53 Was that look like? It looks like powder that's right.
10:56 It's instance snow. Well I like things that are instant.
10:59 You know if something's instant it happens
11:01 real quick or slow? Quick, Oh! real quick, sure.
11:05 Well all we have to do in order to make snow
11:08 out of these little dry little pieces of chemicals
11:11 that's really what this is, is to add what to it,
11:15 what do you suppose we're gonna to add to that? Water.
11:16 That's right water. Now, is snow made out of water.
11:20 Oh yeah, that it does because we have snow,
11:24 we have rain right. We have sleet some times yeah,
11:27 and hail can be very destructive can't it.
11:30 Okay so all we're gonna to do
11:31 is we are going to hydrate
11:33 or add water to this dry stuff
11:36 and you three are here to observe it.
11:38 You know sometimes we observe with our eyes
11:40 don't we. And we see that's why we're gonna to do
11:42 and our ears too. I'm not sure we might hear
11:45 something, what might we hear?
11:48 Water being poured yeah that would be good.
11:51 We could kind of feel the water
11:52 you want to feel the water?
11:53 Cool you want to get wet okay
11:56 there you go right there, right.
11:58 Now what we're gonna to now is we're gonna to add
12:00 some water and we're gonna put it in this
12:02 chemical are you ready? Yes.
12:05 Okay, are you ready to observe? Yes.
12:07 Okay and let us know what you saw
12:08 and we're gonna to do we're gonna to need a countdown
12:10 3, 2, 1. Are you ready? Yes.
12:13 Okay here we go on countdown
12:15 3, 2, 1, we're gonna to pour this all in there
12:19 and look at the reaction and see what can happen
12:22 right here, okay take a look, lets look at it,
12:24 what's happening is that what
12:26 is something happening down here right there?
12:28 Its bubbling. Its bubbling, look what is happening
12:32 oh look what's going on. Is it snowing,
12:39 were filling that up with snow
12:40 wow would you like to try it on.
12:42 Yeah, maybe we can make a snow man,
12:44 wouldn't that be cool? Yeah.
12:45 It would be really, really cool and what is happening
12:48 oh look at that. Is it fluffy.
12:51 Oh it's really fluffy is that feels like snow.
12:54 Oh no because it's softer than snow.
12:58 Is it softer than snow.
12:59 Oh why don't you grab me a handful.
13:01 Can you grab a handful? Cool, is it soft
13:04 and it's so neat yeah I too. Wow, let's go,
13:08 shall we pour some of this out
13:10 and you now what it makes a whole big whole pile of snow
13:14 and it's right here.
13:15 And more of it comes out it gets colder.
13:18 It's cold isn't it. Yeah, it's just like snow.
13:20 Well what do we are having here?
13:21 Actually what we have in here is a very,
13:24 it's a super absorbent and it really absorbs the water.
13:28 It absorbs about a 100 times its own weight
13:31 in water and it's fluffy and nice,
13:33 but we can't make a snow ball it won't pack up
13:36 and make a snow ball but we can slide on it.
13:38 That would be fun wouldn't it. Oh that's nice and soft
13:42 and fluffy and it won't melt that's the best thing
13:44 in the middle of the summer time you can make this
13:46 and it won't melt then you can have fun of it is
13:49 that cool or what? Well,
13:50 inside hear what we have is really
13:52 it's related to the chemicals
13:55 that are in baby diapers,
13:56 you don't have baby diapers at home? Yeah.
13:59 Yeah, no. Well, that's what we have.
14:01 It's all related to baby diapers
14:04 and look how much snow that makes, isn't that cool.
14:07 Oh man in it's really soft isn't,
14:10 but one thing we know is that you know
14:12 that reminds me of snow.
14:13 Is snow mentioned in the Bible? Yeah.
14:16 Have you ever yeah it's mentioned in the Bible.
14:18 You know it says in the Bible that are,
14:20 though are sins be as scarlet,
14:22 whenever scarlet is mentioned in the Bible
14:24 it's probably something not good right.
14:26 Sins aren't good, it says though our sins
14:28 be as scarlet they shall be as white as what? Snow.
14:32 Snow, oh hey I want my sins to be as white as snow.
14:34 Do you want your sins to be as white as snow? Yes.
14:37 Oh yes, I want my sins to be covered
14:39 and to be as white as snow and that's really a promise
14:42 and I'm thankful for that.
14:44 Well, remember boys and girls whenever
14:47 we learn more about science we're learning more
14:50 about our creator God.
14:57 It's so expensive, I just noticed the price
15:00 of this apple, it's so expensive, I don't know
15:01 I can't buy it any more.
15:03 It just feels like the market place
15:04 is becoming more and more greedy.
15:06 Absolutely I don't why. Human nature I guess.
15:10 I'm seeing greed everywhere,
15:11 have you heard about Gehazi.
15:13 I just you know heard his name,
15:15 but something did happen right.
15:17 Gehazi is the prophet of Elisha.
15:18 Remember not too long ago Naaman who was the soldier
15:22 from the neighboring country.
15:24 Oh yeah everybody's heard that.
15:25 Well he had leprosy and he came. Yeah beautiful story.
15:27 Well, when it was over. He wanted to pay Elisha.
15:30 He said here I've got all these nice clothes,
15:32 this silver, I want to pay you and Elisha
15:36 said no, no, no. Nothing at all, not even one.
15:38 That's right. He didn't want anything and Naaman.
15:41 Man of God, man of God, absolutely.
15:43 That's right and Naaman so just he left
15:45 and as he left Gehazi looked at that stuff
15:48 and he said. That's what I wanted to hear
15:50 what happened. I want that
15:52 and he coveted it in his heart
15:54 and as soon as Naaman had gone over the hill.
15:58 Gehazi went behind the house
15:59 like he was going to do a chore
16:01 and Elisha was inside and Gehazi ran
16:04 as fast as he could. And he took a shortcut
16:06 and he came out and he saw Naaman out in front of him
16:09 and then he said wait stop, stop
16:10 and he came up to him and he was all out of breath
16:13 and Naaman jumped down,
16:14 he said is there something wrong, is Elisha okay.
16:17 And he said yes the prophet is fine,
16:19 but we just had two boys come from the school
16:22 of the prophets and they need some clothes.
16:25 That was not true right.
16:27 And they need some money, that was a lie,
16:29 you're right. Ho total lie and Naaman said oh please
16:32 here take this and he gave him more than he asked for.
16:35 And Gehazi thought I made some money off of this,
16:40 so he took the clothes and the silver
16:42 and he went to a special place and he hid them away
16:46 and then he came back into the house where Elisha was
16:48 and Elisha said Gehazi where have you been?
16:52 And Gehazi said oh I didn't go anywhere.
16:56 He lied again. Second time. Second time.
16:59 To the prophet. But the prophet knew.
17:03 God had told Elisha and Elisha looked at him
17:05 and he said Gehazi, why did you lie.
17:09 He was lying to prophet.
17:10 Why did you take that stuff.
17:12 He said the leprosy that cursed Naaman's family
17:15 will now curse yours.
17:18 And right away Gehazi looked at his hands
17:21 and they were white with leprosy.
17:24 That's so sad. It's really sad. And he ran away.
17:26 However I think there is a lesson for all of us there.
17:30 What lesson do you see.
17:32 I see something about greed and lying,
17:34 lying to the prophet of God.
17:37 He was greedy and so there is a costly defect
17:43 kind of a thing there.
17:44 He thought he would be able to get away.
17:45 He thought I could lie and steal their stuff
17:48 and no one will know, but God knows God watches.
17:52 He sees everything, some with.
17:54 I'm glad God is watching. It's not worth it.
17:56 No it's not. Makes me not be greedy.
17:59 No sir, God will take care of me.
18:00 I don't have to lie and steal.
18:02 He will take care of me.
18:03 He will supply our every need there.
18:06 Praise the Lord, praise the lord.
18:07 My friend nice to see you again. Shalom, shalom.
18:09 Happy Sabbath.

18:41 Your glory fills the heavens

20:23 Hi boys and girls, It's time for Ms. Brenda's
20:26 book of the day. And today's book boys and girls
20:31 is called God's big idea.
20:33 This is a wonderful devotional book
20:35 that you can read one every the single day
20:38 and it strengthens your walk with Jesus.
20:40 A great worship book, God's big idea.
20:43 In fact this book is going to be a special gift
20:46 for Ms. Brenda to all the boys and girls
20:48 that are here with me today,
20:49 because I want to welcome the
20:51 Adventist Christians School in Tennessee.
20:53 Thank you boys and girls for being here with me today.
20:56 Thank you Ms. Brenda and boys and girls
20:58 why are you here? What is the biggest reason
21:00 you're here today? To share Jesus.
21:03 To share Jesus that's right.
21:05 Now I want you to introduce our teacher
21:06 of the school Ms. Mader and Ms. Mader,
21:09 let me ask you what does your school
21:11 you are doing something wonderful as a group
21:13 at school to share Jesus, tell us about it?
21:16 What we are doing is to connecting technology
21:19 with Bible and we are illustrating it
21:25 with different props and stuff
21:27 and putting it into a DVD form editing teaching
21:31 the children to edit and then we're gonna
21:33 to take this DVD out into the community
21:35 and share Jesus that way.
21:38 Wow, that's awesome so all the kids are involved
21:41 in this, how much hands on
21:42 this is something that you're really doing it
21:44 by yourself in the evening or is this something
21:46 the kids are really doing.
21:47 This is a project in school,
21:49 where they take different Bible stories
21:52 one of our Bible story is
21:54 Shadrach Meshach and Abednego.
21:56 We've done Noah's Ark, we've done Gideon
21:59 and the battle with the Midianites
22:01 and they create a set, it maybe a box with puppets.
22:06 It is something like this one over here.
22:08 This is when we did Psalms 91,
22:10 where they created illustrated different parts
22:14 or verses of Psalms 91
22:16 and then they would say their verse,
22:19 so we'd film each one coming in and out
22:22 and then editing, editing it,
22:25 but the purpose is as we go
22:28 that the children are learningto make the sets,
22:32 they are learning to film
22:34 that what they have created
22:36 and then they will edit it as well.
22:39 So they are learning the process.
22:40 That's wonderful. Now you have a video clip of that
22:43 don't you for the Psalms. Yes we do for Psalms 91.
22:46 Okay let's take a look at that right now. Okay.
22:50 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
22:52 Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
22:56 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge
22:59 and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."
23:02 He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowl
23:05 And from the perilous pestilence.
23:08 He shall cover you with His feathers,
23:10 And under His wings you shall take refuge;
23:13 His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
23:15 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night.
23:20 Wow, that looks really scary to me.
23:24 The kids had so much fun bringing reality
23:27 to the Bible. It's look like the real lightening
23:29 Storm didn't it kids.
23:30 We tried, we really tried in a closet flashing
23:33 the lights and everything, we had a lot of fun doing it.
23:36 And they are memorizing the passages to the Bible
23:40 and we just want to give reality to share Jesus.
23:43 We want to show.
23:44 We have one more clip you brought to us.
23:45 Now what is that about?
23:46 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
23:49 and this is a clip where the children have put together
23:52 a set and they use fishing line to move the characters
23:55 and they are telling the Bible story.
23:58 Okay let's take a look.
23:59 You are making me angry so into the fiery furnace
24:04 you go Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
24:08 In that fiery furnace were four oh, oh, oh
24:13 we only put Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
24:15 God's love will always flow, flow and flow.
24:19 He will keep you safe as you go, go,go like
24:24 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. The end.
24:30 Now that looked like a whole lot of work was it?
24:32 It was, the children worked very hard.
24:35 They created the set, they colored,
24:37 they decided how they were going to move
24:40 their characters around. So they did,
24:42 they worked very hard in creating the story.
24:44 And now the young man behind you
24:46 can you pass that to your teacher,
24:47 what are we are looking at here
24:48 and what is your name? My name is Brandon.
24:51 And Brandon what we looking at here Brandon?
24:53 We are looking at one of our Gideon things,
24:55 we did it, me and Lucas did it together.
24:57 Is that out of Legos? Yeah, I was going to say
24:59 that it looks like my grandson
25:01 Michael loves Legos?
25:02 I borrowed them from my old teacher.
25:04 You did, and so you just make,
25:07 what did you make from Gideon here?
25:08 We this is where the, supposed to be the part
25:12 of the scene of the Midianite Army,
25:14 but we didn't have enough men
25:16 so we just had to rearrange it.
25:18 Rearrange it, well that works.
25:20 Well this looks so creative.
25:22 Now tell me about all the ways you use.
25:23 Now here you actually all the kids
25:26 are involved in production and building the sets,
25:28 deciding what the stories are,
25:30 that's are quite a feat.
25:32 They get to choose and Lucas and Brandon
25:34 did chose the story of Gideon
25:35 and the battle with the Midianites.
25:37 and what they did is they created the different sets,
25:40 took the camera, filmed each segment as they moved
25:44 the characters or the Legos around
25:46 and then when they were done
25:49 they put it into the Imac computer
25:52 and then they voiced over the story.
25:54 Well thank you so much sharing
25:56 so many great ideas with us.
25:58 And you certainly brought my horizons
26:00 and I want to thank all you kids for coming
