00:01 It's almost time for Kids Time.
00:03 We are going to be late. Its time to share there's
00:06 a world out there looking for a friend like Jesus.
00:12 It's time to share there's a world out there, let's
00:16 tell them that he loves us so. Let's tell them that he
00:21 loves so. Kids time, kids time, kids time.
00:27 kids time, kids time. Hi boys and girls, today
00:32 in our Bible story we will be talking about death.
00:35 When someone dies it's a very sad thing.
00:38 People cry because they will miss that person,
00:41 maybe you've had a pet that died or a grandma,
00:43 grandpa, maybe your friend. Regardless of who dies,
00:46 death is a terrible thing. Aren't you glad that
00:50 Jesus is coming again and there will be no more
00:53 death, instead Jesus is going to raise the people
00:56 who died and he is going to take those who
00:58 loved him to heaven, to live with him forever.
01:00 In heaven, nothing will die, flowers will never
01:03 die, animals will never die and people will never die.
01:06 But while we are still here on earth, we experience
01:09 the results of sin every time someone dies.
01:13 The Bible says that the wages which means
01:15 results of sin is death. But, here is the good news,
01:19 even though Jesus is in heaven he still is able to
01:23 raise people from the dead. Because his disciples
01:26 believe in God's power they were not afraid to
01:28 tell people who are died to wake up, and they did.
01:32 Amazing isn't it. Our Bible story today is about one
01:36 of those times, as you watch remember if
01:38 someone dies its okay to be sad because you'll
01:42 miss them here on earth. But you don't have to be
01:44 sad for long because death is like a dreamless
01:48 sleep, just like Maxwell sleeping right here
01:50 beside me, he doesn't clue of what's going on,
01:53 he is just sleeping away. Well soon Jesus will open
01:57 the graves and the people who love God will be
02:00 alive forever and ever. But, before you hear our
02:03 wonderful story today, it's time for Nature Time.
02:17 Don't you just love a beautiful place like this?
02:20 Hi boys and girls, welcome to Nature Time. You know
02:23 hiking has gotta be one of my favorite outdoor
02:25 activities. Whether I am on a 70 miles trek across
02:28 the Bob Marshall Wilderness carrying a 70 pound pack
02:31 or I am on a Sabbath afternoon hike with
02:33 some primaries or early teens or maybe you
02:37 know some other kids from the church, I love
02:39 every single minute of it. Part of being able to
02:42 enjoy a nature hike or any kind of trip where
02:46 you got to do a lot of walking is being able to
02:48 endure some hardships and some trials.
02:52 One of those hardships of course comes in the
02:54 way of soar feet, sometimes our feet gets
02:56 soar, sometimes we get a little sweaty or
02:58 hot or even thirsty. There are some things
03:02 that we can do though to minimize those hardships.
03:04 I would like to talk just for a few minutes about
03:06 some of those things. First of all in selection
03:09 of a hiking shoe. Now I know that most young people
03:13 especially your age like to hike in tennis shoes.
03:17 Tennis shoes are great unless you gotta carry a
03:19 heavy pack or you're in some kind of rough
03:21 train or rocky stony ground and tennis shoes
03:24 don't offer quite the support that you need.
03:27 Another kind of shoe that doesn't offer the
03:29 right kind of support is what I consider a mall shoe.
03:34 Now I borrowed these from Miss Brenda, you
03:36 should have seen it boys and girls just cross
03:38 this log on our way down into this filming site along the
03:41 beautiful Madison river. Miss Brenda is ready to
03:43 do a little hiking with Ranger Rod.
03:45 Look out, she's getting exercise, this is a
03:47 stretching exercise, you can hear all way backup
03:50 to where we parked the truck.
04:00 This is a very nice shoe, but not what I would
04:03 recommend for an all day hike.
04:07 Before we talk about hiking shoes it's important
04:09 to have the right kind of socks, to whom I say well
04:11 Ranger Rod, what are you doing holding up a
04:13 pair of socks. These aren't just any pair.
04:15 This is a pair of wool socks, wool socks wick
04:18 away the moisture from your feet, keeping them dry.
04:21 It also adds a little bit of cushion, I use a hiker,
04:23 hiker weight wool sock when I hike, all the time.
04:28 As far as hiking shoes are concerned you want
04:31 to get a shoe that's got good support.
04:33 I like to wear a leather upper on my shoes,
04:35 good support, lots of traction, I even put in
04:38 an expensive insert to keep my foot very
04:41 comfortable, as comfortable as I can get it and so
04:44 I use a boot like this. There is many, many
04:47 varieties of good hiking boots, almost all sporting
04:50 goods stores carry good hikers and you could
04:52 just ask them what size fits best, what kind
04:55 should you get for the kind of hiking you're
04:57 gonna be doing. If it is so important because
05:00 what you don't want to have are blisters, if your
05:02 boots are a little too loose or a little too tight
05:04 either way it makes your foot get too hot.
05:07 And a hot spot creates a blister.
05:10 You want to avoid blisters at all cost.
05:14 We spoke just a movement about tennis shoes, again
05:16 here is a pair that I wear for river crossing of all
05:19 things, its okay if you're gonna be playing in the
05:21 water or if you're gonna be playing on a basket
05:23 ball court, but for a long hike I would
05:26 leave these at home. Just a note on blisters,
05:29 here is a little inside tape. Silver duct tape, it works
05:33 great on hot spots, make sure that you put on some
05:36 tape or put on a little mold skin or some
05:39 blister patch before you get a blister.
05:41 It's important to make sure that as soon as you
05:43 start to feel a hot spot coming on put something on,
05:47 covered up, its miserable to be hiking with soar feet.
05:51 Now I would like to shift over and talk a little bit
05:53 about trekking poles. I know we've mentioned
05:55 trekking poles before on Kids Time.
05:57 But, I wanna show you a couple of different
05:59 varieties that we have and that we use in our family.
06:02 These right here are carbon fiber, they weigh
06:04 almost nothing I mean literally boys and girls
06:06 if you could be here and Ranger Rod handed this
06:08 to you wouldn't think you were carrying anything.
06:10 They're very comfortable for a long day's trek.
06:16 I like to show you another trekking pole that has a
06:18 unique cork handle. Cork handles are very
06:21 popular because they help to keep your hand
06:23 cool and dry and they're very comfortable.
06:27 One of my favorite trekking poles though is,
06:30 one right here that I made for my daughter Alisha
06:32 when she was just a little girl.
06:34 In fact if you look real close there, you can see
06:36 that's got a real comfortable hand grip on it, carved
06:39 custom just for her. You know boys and girls
06:42 even the Bible talks about men using walking sticks,
06:45 shepherds and people who walk long distances
06:47 carry a rod or staff. The Bible even says in
06:52 Psalms 23 that God has a rod and a staff.
06:56 Good hiking, and until next time lets
06:59 all enjoy God's great outdoors.
07:21 David joyfully said to God, I will declare your name
07:25 to my brethren and in the midst of the congregation
07:27 I will praise you. That's found in Psalms 22:22.
07:41 God of great and God of small, God of one and God of all,
07:48 God of weak and God of strong, God to whom all things belong,
07:55 Hallelujah, Hallelujah, praised be thy name.
08:08 God of land and sky and sea, God of life and destiny,
08:16 God of never ending power, yet beside me every hour.
08:23 Hallelujah, Hallelujah, praised be thy name.
08:37 God of silence, God of sound,
08:42 God in whom the lost are found,
08:47 God of day and darkest night,
08:51 God whose love turns wrong to right.
08:58 God of heaven and God of world,
09:02 God of death and God of birth, God of now and days before,
09:09 God who reigns forevermore, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
09:16 praised be thy name, praised be thy name.
09:35 Welcome to learning time. I am glad you join us today
09:38 and by the looks of this table it kinda of looks
09:40 like we're gonna have company for supper. Doesn't it?
09:43 Yes. Yeah and I've got some
09:46 helpers we are not really gonna have
09:48 company at all, but we gonna do a science
09:50 experiment and I have got Hannah.
09:52 Hannah is gonna be one of our helpers today.
09:54 Now Hannah if you could do anything
09:55 around the house what would you like to do.
10:00 I'd probably like to clean things up.
10:03 Clean things up, you like a tidy house. Yeah.
10:06 That's a good thing to have. And then let's see we've got
10:09 Lance over here. Now Lance is gonna
10:10 help us as well. Now Lance, if you
10:12 could go anywhere in the world where would you like to go.
10:15 Mars. Mars, that another
10:17 world isn't it. Now why would you like to go to Mars?
10:20 Because, one of my favorite colors is red.
10:23 Oh! It's called a red planet. Isn't it? Oh and then I have
10:26 Alex over here. Now Alex if you could do anything
10:29 in the summer time or any kind of activity what
10:32 would you choose? To climb trees and build
10:35 the forts outside with my friends.
10:37 Hey that would be exciting to do.
10:38 Wouldn't it? Yeah. Well, hey lets get our
10:40 helpers to come on up here right behind our
10:42 table cloth and all of this table settings.
10:46 And now we have got some things on the table,
10:49 what's this right here. A plate, that's a plate
10:52 and its clean, well its not real clean.
10:54 I wouldn't eat off of this, 'cause we haven't washed
10:56 it but you know its made out of some kind of ceramic
10:58 material and it could break so we're gonna be
11:00 careful, we don't wanna break stuff do we.
11:02 Now hey, have you ever broken anything like plates
11:04 or dishes or glasses. Yeah.
11:06 Yeah. What did you break? A glass.
11:08 A glass. Did you break anything Alex. Uh-huh.
11:10 What? Probably like a glass so. Probably, now
11:13 we kinda forget what we break sometimes.
11:15 You've never broken anything. Have you?
11:17 Yeah. What did you break?
11:18 A plate. A plate. Well we got a
11:21 plate here but I am not sure we're gonna break it.
11:23 Now, I got some beautiful flowers and now and I have
11:26 some water for them but they're artificial
11:27 so it doesn't matter. Anybody have some
11:29 water in there and this is a vase, now the plate
11:32 and the vase they want to stay right there, are
11:34 they moving around. No. Oh no, they are
11:37 just in place. And so are my flowers right here
11:40 because that is what we call a nurture.
11:42 Things that are at rest and all those things are
11:45 rest they want to stay right there.
11:46 Don't they? They will stay there
11:49 until another force acts upon them and so this is
11:52 the whole thing about our science experiment.
11:55 Now for this one I want you to put your glasses on,
11:57 put your safety glasses on. Okay you can put those right
12:00 off over your glasses. Okay. And you know
12:02 what Alex is going to be the man for the day over here.
12:05 Okay. So Alex you stay where your at and lets
12:08 come over here, because you are kind of in the
12:10 splash zone there, just right there and you can watch. Okay.
12:13 Alright. Now Alex is going to do something
12:15 really special. In fact Alex is going to take
12:18 this table cloth and he is gonna try to pull it right
12:21 from underneath the plate and the vase.
12:23 Do you think he can do that. Yes, yeah.
12:27 Sounds like a great experiment.
12:29 But, here is how we're gonna have to do this Alex.
12:32 And by the way you can't try this at home.
12:34 You know why yeah. You could break a lots
12:38 of stuff that would be a bad news thing.
12:40 So we're gonna take this table cloth in our hands right here.
12:42 I'm gonna get this all set up for Alex, okay.
12:46 And then Alex, I want you to hold that just like that.
12:49 Alright. Now and then Alex is going to put his hands
12:52 real close to that table and we're gonna have to
12:54 give him a countdown and we're going to go 5
12:58 and 4, but don't do it we're just practicing.
13:00 Okay. We're gonna go 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and on one
13:05 Alex, you're gonna pull just as fast as you can.
13:08 Kinda back and down and plate and the vase
13:11 are going to do what? What do you think
13:13 they're gonna do? Break.
13:15 Break. Well, how many think are going to break.
13:17 Oh Alex don't break up okay. If Alex pulls really, really
13:21 slow, well they're gonna break?
13:23 But, they want to stay there and so he has to
13:25 jerk the table loth real quick.
13:27 Okay. How about the count down are you
13:29 ready Alex? Are you ready to see this?
13:32 Are you ready to clean up the mess?
13:34 No, there is not gonna be a mess 'cause we're
13:36 gonna do it right. Okay Alex, okay. Let's
13:38 give him a count down, here we go 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
13:44 Wow! Give him a nice hand. Alex, that is so cool.
13:51 Let us now, come back over here guys,
13:53 come back over here. Did you see that? Yeah.
13:56 Remember object at rest want to stay at rest.
13:59 sure am glad otherwise we would have a
14:01 problem, wouldn't we? I did it too. Now, you know
14:04 those are what we call natural laws, you know
14:06 God made lots of natural laws for us and we have
14:10 to obey them and all of these objects, obey the
14:13 laws of God which is really kind and cool.
14:16 You know boys and girls I want to thank my helpers
14:19 could you give him a nice hand.
14:20 Wow, Alex did a great job and remember every
14:25 time we learn about science we're learning
14:28 more about our creator God.
14:40 Since Dorcas has passed away things have been
14:42 in such distress. You know she is so
14:44 close for the people, she helped people with the
14:46 sick, she did so many things for everybody
14:49 and Peter we're just so glad you have come to
14:51 Joppa to bring comfort to the people.
14:54 I am sure that the Lord will comfort these people.
15:05 She made this for grandson. She loved us so much.
15:11 She made me food, she send me food. Oh! Tabitha,
15:16 who did this. Poor girl, may Lord be with you,
15:19 be a good cheer. God bless. The Lord is good,
15:28 he understands, he has given us great
15:31 encouragement that he will care for us and so
15:34 we need to just talk to the lord about it and
15:37 I would like to talk to Lord, so if you don't
15:41 mind I would like to ask you if you would leave
15:44 for a few minutes. Yes, we will.
15:46 All of you would leave.
16:17 God, you are the only one that can give back
16:20 life, its all within your hands, we know that
16:26 through your power you spoke and men and women
16:30 came into existence and so I call upon you in the
16:34 name of your son Jesus Christ that you would
16:37 restore her life. Dorcas arise.
16:48 You are the Apostle Peter. Yes, Dorcas. How did you
16:53 get in my room? 'Cause the last thing that I remember
16:59 was that the widows were here and I was helping
17:02 the children and I, my God I am feeling so dizzy.
17:09 What happened? A couple days ago you died.
17:13 I died. You died. Well, I didn't feel anything.
17:17 I don't remember anything. No, in fact it tells us very
17:22 clear in the scripture that when a person dies they
17:26 don't know anything. That scriptures are true.
17:29 I didn't know anything. It's like when you go to
17:32 sleep you don't dream. That's true. And then
17:36 what has happened is the Lord Jesus Christ has called
17:41 you back to life. Oh! Thank you Jesus.
17:46 Thank you for giving me another chance to
17:49 somebody, oh! That is so wonderful.
17:54 When he calls you back to life you see everything
17:58 comes back you can remember, you can remember you're
18:01 friends, you can remember what happened before because he
18:04 has given you back your life. God is so wonderful,
18:08 thank you for giving me back my life thank you.
18:11 Oh Thank you. I feel so good. I don't feel dizzy anymore.
18:20 Oh! Thank you Jesus. Thank you for coming Peter.
18:24 And your friends were just here and I am sure they
18:27 would like to see you. Oh I would loved to
18:29 to see my friends. Oh! I'm alive. All of you
18:33 that were there come back, come back. Oh! Praise God,
18:39 oh, its so good to see you. You're alive, praise God,
18:45 it's wonderful. Praise God. Oh my God, Jesus. Oh!
18:53 I'm breathing, you're because this is what finest
18:56 thing of God's word. When you said, Jesus
18:59 said I am the resurrection of your life and so God has
19:03 given her back her life to her.
19:05 Yes God. Tell them Peter, tell them what, who did this?
19:14 Well, you see this is what Jesus promised us.
19:18 He promised, he said I'm the resurrection of life,
19:21 he that believes in me even though he may die yet he
19:25 shall live and so he has given Dorcas back her life.
19:29 Oh! Thank you Jesus. Praise God. Praise God.
19:39 I was showing everyone the things that you have made.
19:43 Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
19:47 I praise you Jesus for this
19:49 opportunity to live for you again.
21:32 Hi boys and girls, its time for
21:34 Ms. Brenda's book of the day. And today's book is by
21:38 Jerry D. Thomas its called Shoebox Kids Bible Stories.
21:43 And it says favorite children's author Jerry
21:45 D. Thomas brings you a brand new series on getting
21:48 to know God. In every chapter there's a double story
21:52 first one from the Bible then a story from today showing
21:55 a lesson that the Bible story can teach us.
21:57 Isn't that wonderful. Boys and girls, I really
22:00 encourage you to purchase this book.
22:02 Jerry D. Thomas is personal friend of mine.
22:04 I know his work, he is a fabulous author and
22:07 I encourage you to read the book, learn the
22:09 Bible stories and get closer to Jesus.
22:12 But, today I want to introduce you to someone
22:13 very special that's with me I want you to meet
22:16 Rebecca. Hi Rebecca, I am so glad you came into Kids Time
22:19 and I am so glad you're here and tell me what
22:22 do you do to share Jesus. Well, Ms. Brenda, I would like
22:24 to share Jesus with you by giving you this little gift.
22:27 You would! Oh! This is beautiful, this is the nice
22:30 handy bag that Ms. Brenda can use when I am coming
22:33 to in from the set. I can see a place in here for
22:35 my water bottles and is there something inside? Yeah.
22:38 Oh there is okay let me see, I loves surprises.
22:41 Don't you boys and girls. Oh! Look this must be a
22:46 special T-shirt. Can you see that, look at that
22:51 boys and girls and what, can you read it for them?
22:54 It says "be the bridge love, pray, study and witness."
22:58 This is wonderful, tell me about this in your
23:01 I see yeah it's a same thing like you're wearing.
23:03 Only mine is in red and how do you Ms. Brenda
23:05 loves red, I wear red a lot. I love it. So tell me
23:10 what is that about this T-shirt. Well our conference,
23:13 the Great New York Conference in 2009,
23:15 that was our theme for the year. Oh it was. So you are
23:19 from the New York greater conference and that's awesome
23:23 so now you that's a wonderful thing to do
23:24 isn't it to pray, study and witness.
23:27 I think that's wonderful. You have something
23:29 sitting beside you that looks very pretty, what is that?
23:31 Yes, it's an citrus fruit basket. Okay and how
23:36 do you share Jesus with that? Well our Christian school
23:39 usually sells oranges around Christmas time and my family
23:42 buys a lot of those so we can wrap them and put them
23:45 in basket with a little card that has the scripture
23:47 verse on it and then we give it to the neighbors
23:50 on our block and write a Bible verse, so that we
23:54 can share Jesus with them that way. Okay now have you
23:56 had any wonderful experiences doing that.
23:58 Oh, yes there is this elderly man across the
24:00 street and he seemed to not have a lot of visitors.
24:04 So when we brought him the oranges one
24:06 time he was very happy and said that a lot of
24:09 people don't have citrus fruits around
24:10 this time of year. So and he said he was
24:13 happy that someone cared and brought him oranges.
24:17 Have you found that there is any chance to
24:18 even talk about Jesus when you give it?
24:21 Yes, there was a neighbor down the street and she was a
24:25 Christian but not a Seventh Day Adventist,
24:27 so we were talking about how Jesus came
24:30 to save the world and how he gave his only begotten
24:34 son and how much he loved us. And was she
24:36 receptive or she was the have you had someone says,
24:38 I don't wanna hear about Jesus, I mean
24:40 have you had anybody be mean to you when
24:41 you're, its kind of hard to be mean when you're
24:43 giving them something nice isn't it? Yeah.
24:45 There, no one was really mean, they were just listening
24:48 and saying that's very nice. So you could tell that they
24:51 were receptive and you know when we do something
24:54 wonderful for them too, even Jesus when he ministered
24:57 to people he took care of the physical needs first.
24:59 Didn't he? He healed the sick, he fed them, he you know
25:03 comforted them and so I think that he set a very
25:07 good example for each of us that we are suppose
25:09 to go out and help our fellowman. Aren't we? Yeah.
25:12 That's awesome and so would you
25:13 encourage other boys and girls to do this?
25:15 Yes. It's been a positive experience for you. Yes.
25:18 Oh that's wonderful. What do you want to do
25:20 when you grow up? I want to become
25:22 a veterinarian. A veterinarian.
25:24 And so you must love animals. Let me tell you have you
25:27 ever seen a dog as sleepy as Maxwell.
25:29 Look at Maxwell, just sleeping down there.
25:31 And what would you do for a sleepy dog like that, huh?
25:36 Give him staying awake pill. I don't know I think God
25:41 allowed us to have this wonderful peaceful dog.
