00:01 It's almost time for Kids' Time, we're gonna 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 00:24 Kids' Time, Kids' Time, Kids' Time, Kids' Time 00:32 Hi, boys and girls. In our Bible story today 00:34 we're going to meet a man who changed his mind. 00:38 Now that may not sound like a very exciting thing to you 00:41 but let me tell you for this man it was. 00:44 You see some people change their minds all the time 00:47 and we call that being wishy washy 00:50 and we're not surprised when these people change their minds 00:53 in fact we're kind of surprised when they don't. 00:55 But this man was not a wishy washy man, 00:58 in fact he was very smart and he was certainly-- 01:01 was right about everything 01:02 and there was no change in his mind. 01:04 One other thing this man was certain about was that 01:07 anyone who believed in Jesus was crazy 01:10 and dangerous and should be killed. 01:12 Jesus followers knew exactly who he was and they were 01:15 afraid of him in fact they were so frightened that Christians 01:19 everywhere hid whenever this man came to town. 01:22 But one day this man who was certain about 01:26 everything, he changed his mind. 01:29 That's right he just changed his mind. 01:32 Now what could change the mind of a man like that, any ideas? 01:36 Well, we'll find out a little later on in the program 01:39 but right now let's get ready for Nature Time. 02:03 Man this is so awesome. Love this part of the world. 02:22 Hi, Kids welcome to Nature Time. 02:24 Man, is it quite out here this morning, this is awesome. 02:28 Now I'm at Campau Sable, Greenland, Michigan. 02:31 And this is really neat this is one of my favorite times 02:35 in the morning when it's quiet I love this, I love canoeing. 02:39 You know what I can hear a locust right now. 02:41 You can hear it in the trees maybe 02:43 if you're real quiet and you can hear it too. 02:45 You know we have a lot of fun in nature 02:48 but to me this is where we start, we can talk with God, 02:53 He can hear us all the time you know that. 02:56 You know, why that Mathew says it 02:57 "My sheep hear my voice" well, how it does? 03:00 God's sheep us, you and I hear his voice. 03:03 I'll tell you there's a story in First Kings chapter 19 03:08 that's one of my favorite stories that's about Elijah. 03:10 You know what Elijah had done such a great job, 03:13 You know, saying how long do you hop between two nations. 03:16 Remember that story when fire came down and burn 03:19 those altars up and water around it, remember that. 03:22 Well, guess what right after that he got 03:25 scared of Queen Jezebel, I can't believe it but he did, 03:27 she must have been something and so he took off 03:29 for like 40 days, he's running gets tired out 03:32 he started feeling sorry for himself 03:34 and so goes into this cave and he gets into this cave 03:37 and you know what, he is talking Lord O Lord, 03:40 there's nobody like me there is been nobody standing up for you 03:43 and the Lord said, hey Elijah, just do me a favor, 03:45 I want you to go out on the mouth of the cave. 03:47 So he does and as he goes out, a big fire comes around 03:51 and the Lord says, you know Elijah, I'm not in that fire. 03:54 And after fire he goes and then there is 03:57 this great big wind storm. He said, I'm not in the wind. 04:00 And then after the wind there is this earthquake 04:03 its loud it making plenty of noise and he said, 04:05 I'm not in that noise. 04:07 You know what he said then, he said, Elijah you need to learn 04:11 to listen to my still small voice because 04:13 I'm the delicate whispering voice. 04:15 And boys, in Isaiah 30:15 says, 04:17 the quietness should be our strength. 04:19 And so that's why we can do all sorts of things, 04:22 as I look out here in nature, we can do all kinds of fun 04:25 and this is where we can really have 04:26 that special moment with God. 04:28 And you know what right now, I'm gonna get back out there 04:31 and do that so, kids, nature is God 04:34 second book get out there take a look. 04:37 I'll see you later. Bye. 04:53 Wow this is so cool. 06:08 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine 06:14 Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine 06:19 Heir of salvation, purchase of God 06:25 Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood 06:30 This is my story, this is my song 06:35 Praising my Savior all the day long 06:40 This is my story, this is my song 06:46 Praising my Savior all the day long 06:51 Praising my Savior 06:57 all the day long 07:20 Welcome to Learning Time. Glad you joined us today. 07:23 We've got an interesting science lesson and if you have 07:26 some of this stuff you can do it too at home. 07:29 But I've got some helpers, I've got three, 07:32 I've got Caleb over here now, Caleb, I understand that 07:35 you have earned some money in an interesting way. 07:37 Yes I have, there's a man in our church 07:40 I work on pianos with and I also mow lawns. 07:42 Hey, that's a great way of earning some extra money. 07:45 We have Cynthia over here now, Cynthia, 07:47 your name is a pretty name I like your name. 07:49 Do you know what it means? 07:50 Cynthia means cheerful. 07:52 Cheerful, and I think you are a cheerful person as well. 07:55 And we have Gabriel over here, now, Gabriel, 07:57 I understand that you like to snow ski, right? 07:59 Right. But something happened that was interesting, 08:01 you wanna tell us about that? 08:03 Well, I skied over a squirrel. A squirrel! How did that happen? 08:08 We were going down a pathway and it ran in front of me 08:11 and ran back and I just skied over it, it was fun though. 08:15 Well, good. Well, I think squirrels have 08:18 the ride away probably, don't they? 08:20 Hey, let's get all of our helpers up here. 08:22 Let's see what kind of equipment we have up here 08:24 to do our science experiment. 08:25 It looks like we have some interesting things 08:28 and actually some very common things 08:29 that you might have at home. 08:31 And we got a big, what is that here this thing on the top? 08:34 A Jug. A jug, it holds about, about four liters, okay. 08:38 And we have this big tank right here that is a-- 08:41 Aquarium. Aquarium, how many of you have an aquarium at home? 08:43 Okay, and we have all kinds of stuff in our aquariums 08:46 sometimes but we're gonna use this as an instrument 08:49 to tell vital capacity in fact we're gonna try to measure 08:53 in a way how much their lungs can hold and so we actually 08:58 made a homemade Spirometer 09:00 which is kind of an interesting experiment. 09:02 So what we're gonna need to do as we're gonna have 09:04 to have you, and this is a little hose that we put in here 09:07 in this little bottle and so you want to start first, 09:11 I mean why not. Okay, so you can blow in on that, 09:14 firstly he's gonna take a big breath of air, 09:16 fill up his lungs and then he is going to blow out 09:19 a steady string and we're gonna see some bubbles right here. 09:21 Those bubbles are actually part of the air that's in his lungs 09:26 that he is breathing out and we'll try to measure 09:28 how much he can hold. 09:29 Okay, go ahead and do it whenever you are ready. 09:31 Here we go, watch the bubbles. 09:32 Well, look at that, and he--keep blowing, 09:35 keep blowing, keep blowing. 09:37 Wow, can you imagine that. O my, O wow, 09:42 he is going to fill that all up with just the air in his lungs. 09:46 Well, give him a nice hand, guys. 09:48 Wow, that's great, that's incredible. 09:52 Wow, now that's what we called vital capacity 09:55 or lung compacity, and you know what 09:57 we still have some water left in this, 09:59 so let's see what we can do, maybe we can get Cynthia. 10:01 We'll clean this off a little bit for you or a lot, okay. 10:05 We've got some alcohol right here so we're gonna 10:07 sterilize this and right here then I think I'll dry this off 10:10 because we don't like to taste 10:11 the rubbing alcohol, not a good idea. 10:13 Okay, Cynthia, you want to try that, 10:16 let's see if we can get some more of that air, 10:18 or some more of that water out of here. 10:20 She is gonna blow right into there and look at that 10:23 and its all out, wow, wow, okay, well, 10:25 that's power about enough now 10:27 we over flowed our fish tank, didn't we? 10:29 Wow, give Cynthia a hand for doing that. 10:32 Well, I don't know what you know Gabriel is there 10:35 any water left to displace with air? 10:38 No. Isn't that interesting? 10:40 But you know I didn't know how much vital capacity 10:43 they would have, I didn't know how much capacity 10:45 they would have in their lungs. 10:46 You know, that's very interesting because isn't that, 10:50 you know, we talked about vital capacity 10:52 and that's kind of like, like our energy. 10:54 You know, only you and I we only have a certain 10:57 amount of energy, did you know that? 10:59 Have you ever run out of energy, 11:00 how many of you ever run out of energy? 11:02 Okay, everybody has their hands up except for Maxwell. 11:05 Maxwell he hasn't, he just hasn't, 11:07 he hasn't even raised his hand, has he? 11:09 He never runs out of energy because he's always storing it, 11:12 look he just storing all that energy. 11:14 But you know our vital capacity, 11:16 our lung capacity is very important. You know why? 11:18 So we can breath. So we can breath 11:21 and we can have the energy and then that exchange of oxygen 11:23 in the air which is very important. 11:25 But you know we can waste our energy. 11:27 Do you wanna waste your energy? 11:29 No. And I don't wanna waste my vital energy either 11:34 but you know a lot of people do. 11:35 And they just waste their energy trying to get money 11:38 and they're working too hard and everything else. 11:40 But you know God doesn't want you and I to waste 11:43 our vital energy and we cannot waste our energy, 11:47 if we just know what God want you and I to do. 11:49 Because if we're doing what He wants us to do 11:51 then we're gonna be spending our energy doing His what? 11:54 His service right. Yes. Absolutely. 11:57 And, you know, every time we learn more about science 12:00 we're learning more about our creator God. 12:19 Saul, you bring me a report. 12:22 High priest Caiaphas, I bring you a report today 12:26 of the followers of this man, this teacher they call Jesus. 12:32 The one who sets himself up as a God, 12:36 the one who blasphemes our holy tradition of the God of Abraham, 12:42 His followers are everywhere. 12:45 You have ordered me to follow them, 12:47 to track them down and to cause them pain. 12:51 Caiaphas, I have done as you have asked, 12:55 we have taken these believers out of their homes, 12:58 we have taken their possessions, 13:00 we have caused them great pain, 13:03 we have even put some in prison 13:06 yet they continue to meet and to gather together, 13:10 to follow the teachings of this heretic Jesus. 13:15 Guard, is this true? Yes. 13:18 And I hear that they are on their way 13:19 to the Damascus and we must do something now. 13:22 That is the truth, they are fleeing Jerusalem 13:25 and moving to Damascus. 13:27 Caiaphas, I ask your permission would you grant me 13:33 a letter of authority that I might follow them 13:36 and continue to persecute them that we might 13:39 bring this rebellion to an end. 13:42 Guard, hand me the letter. 13:46 High priest, Caiaphas. 13:47 Saul, I prepared a letter for the high priest 13:51 in Damascus for you. 13:52 You are a wise and powerful leader. 13:56 We have crucified this Jesus, 13:59 we will also destroy His followers. 14:03 May the God of Israel go with you. Yes. 14:10 Look over there the city of Damascus. 14:16 Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me. 14:20 Who are thou? Lord, is it you? 14:27 I am Jesus the one you are persecuting. 14:32 Oh, what would you have me to do? 14:36 Arise and go to the city and you will be told what you must do. 14:41 But I, I cannot see, my eyes are blinded. 14:45 I don't know what to do, I'll need help, I need help. 14:49 I know a place in the city of Damascus the house of Judas. 14:51 Take me there now. 14:54 Oh, oh, oh, I am so glad to see you. 14:57 I have heard that Saul of Tarsus is right here in Damascus. 15:03 It's true, he is at Judas house right now. 15:06 Really, what is he doing? 15:07 He seems harmless enough, he's blind. 15:10 All he's been doing is praying for the past three days, 15:13 he hasn't even eaten, 15:14 I'm hoping he'll eat some of this fresh bread. 15:16 Oh, no. Does any Ananias know? 15:19 I don't know, but I have to go, 15:22 I have to go see if he'll eat some of this. 15:24 Be careful. I'll see you later. 15:25 Okay, okay. 15:38 Ananias.
