00:01 It's almost time for Kids' Time.
00:02 We're going 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 00:20 Let's tell them 00:21 That He loves us so 00:24 Kids' Time, Kids' Time Kids' Time, Kids' Time, 00:28 Kids' Time 00:31 Hi, boys and girls, have you ever read a story in the Bible 00:34 that made you wonder, why God allowed something to happen? 00:39 Or why one small detail was so important to God? 00:43 I figured out something about the Bible and about God. 00:47 Do you know what it is? 00:49 God always has a reason for the way He does things 00:52 and for the way He asks us to do things. 00:55 Sometimes we don't understand His reasons right away, 00:58 but He always does what is best for us. 01:02 In our Bible story today, God asked a man 01:04 to do something a certain way. 01:06 Well, actually He asked him not to do a certain thing. 01:10 And, of course, there was a reason. 01:12 God was showing him something very important and wonderful 01:16 by asking him to do a very little thing. 01:19 Only this man had to learn the hard way 01:22 that God's plan is always the best plan. 01:26 You'll find out what it was in our story today, 01:28 but first, it's time for Nature Time. 01:38 Oh. Hey, everyone. It's me, Rich Aguilera. 01:41 I'm so happy to see you. 01:42 You know me, 01:44 I'm taking pictures of some of God's amazing nature. 01:47 It's everywhere. 01:49 Well, I'm glad you're with me here today 01:51 because I want to talk to you about 01:53 one of the most feared animals in the world. 01:56 Sharks! 01:59 A lot of people are afraid of sharks 02:01 simply because they don't know a lot about them. 02:09 You know, it is very human to fear things 02:12 that we don't understand. 02:14 So that's why today, 02:15 our goal is gonna be to learn about sharks. 02:19 What are we gonna learn about? 02:20 Sharks. Sharks. 02:22 That's right. Sharks. 02:24 Sharks are fish, so they live in there. 02:29 There are over 400 different kinds of sharks out there, 02:33 different sizes, different appearances, 02:35 and different behaviors. 02:39 You know, a lot of people mistakenly think 02:42 that all sharks like to just bite people. 02:45 But really, there are only a few kinds 02:47 that ever attack humans. 02:50 The great majority of sharks have no interest in you. 02:53 Phew! That's good. 02:56 The majority of the bites come from great white tiger 03:00 and bull sharks. 03:01 That's it. 03:02 And when they do bite, it's because they thought 03:05 you were something else, like a seal or a turtle. 03:08 It's not like they're wandering around, 03:10 looking for people. 03:12 No. 03:14 Hey, in order to learn a little bit more about sharks, 03:17 we're gonna have to go and see them. 03:19 Come on. 03:22 Well, the best place to see sharks 03:24 is in their natural habitat. 03:26 A habitat is where creatures live 03:28 and sharks live in the ocean. 03:31 What is the name of the place where they live in? 03:33 Habitat. Habitat. 03:35 That's right, their habitat. 03:38 Our plan today is to go 03:39 visit some sharks in their habitat, the ocean. 03:43 So the plan is we're gonna take a boat 03:45 and go about three miles out into the ocean to a place 03:48 where the sharks hang out. 03:58 First, our guides take us way out 04:01 into the ocean on the boat. 04:03 As soon as we get there, we can already see 04:05 the sharks in the water, circling the boat. 04:15 A strong cage is then put in the water. 04:18 The idea is that I'll be getting inside that cage 04:21 so I can get as close as possible 04:23 to the sharks in their habitat. 04:29 Sharks are fascinating animals. 04:31 They are fish, but they are a little different 04:34 than most fish though because instead of a bony skeleton, 04:38 their bodies are supported by cartilage. 04:41 What's it supported by? 04:43 Cartilage. Cartilage. 04:44 Yeah, cartilage. 04:45 That's the same stuff that supports your nose. 04:48 One of the hard things that they do have 04:50 in their body is probably their most famous feature, 04:54 their teeth. 04:55 Sharks usually have several rows 04:57 of very sharp teeth. 04:59 The bizarre thing is that their teeth are not like ours 05:02 which are embedded in bone. 05:05 Theirs are embedded in their gums, 05:07 which is why their teeth fall out easily. 05:10 That's why sharks are always 05:12 in the process of growing new teeth. 05:15 Because of that, some sharks can go through 05:17 up to 30,000 teeth in a lifetime. 05:21 How many teeth? 05:22 30,000. 30,000. 05:24 Yeah, 30,000. 05:26 That's a lot of teeth. 05:29 Most sharks have eight fins, but even with so many fins 05:33 they do not have the ability to back up like other fish 05:37 and they only go forward. 05:40 That's pretty much the most important thing anyway 05:42 because they constantly need 05:44 water flowing through their gills. 05:46 Otherwise, they wouldn't get enough oxygen to survive. 06:06 Well, I hope you look at sharks a little bit differently 06:09 now that we know a little bit more about them. 06:14 You know, taking pictures reminds me of all the stuff 06:17 that we learned today. 06:18 If you want to see the pictures, you can. 06:20 Just go to our website at KidsTime4Jesus.org 06:24 and click on Nature Time. 06:26 Well, I'm already looking forward 06:28 to seeing you next time. 06:29 Remember, God is the creator, nature is His masterpiece. 06:34 See you. 06:41 Welcome to Learning Time. 06:42 Today, we are at the 06:44 International Pathfinder Camporee. 06:46 In what state, y'all? 06:48 Wisconsin! Wisconsin. 06:50 And we're camping. 06:52 Have you had a good time camping? 06:53 Yeah! 06:55 Okay, let's find who some of our helpers are today. 06:58 And where are you from and what's your name? 07:00 My name is Evan, 07:02 and I'm from California, San Diego. 07:04 I'm glad you're here. And how about you? 07:07 My name is Robert, 07:08 and I'm from San Diego, California. 07:10 Oh, glad to have you right here, 07:11 and we've got somebody in a very bright shirt. 07:14 My name is Alexis, and I'm from Waycross, Georgia. 07:17 Cool. Waycross, Georgia. 07:18 Man, you're from all over the place. 07:20 And we're here with about 45,000 pathfinders. 07:23 Are you having a good time? 07:24 Yeah! 07:26 Well, today we're gonna do some science right here 07:28 and we're gonna be doing the science of throwing. 07:30 You like to throw things? 07:32 Yeah. Well, here, grab a ball. 07:33 I've got some helpers. 07:35 What we're gonna do is we're gonna throw a tennis ball. 07:36 And then when we throw a tennis ball, 07:38 we use our arms and that's a lever. 07:39 And that's a really good thing 07:41 to have levers on our bodies, right? 07:42 Yeah. Cool. 07:44 So what we're gonna do is we're gonna have them throw. 07:45 And you might want to do this at home 07:47 and this would be really cool. 07:48 But we're gonna try to see how far 07:49 they can throw the tennis ball. 07:51 And then we have five helpers. 07:53 Raise your hand. Where's our helpers? 07:54 So you've got these cones right here. 07:55 They're gonna measure. 07:57 They're gonna mark where you throw the ball, 07:59 okay, and how far it goes. 08:01 And then we're gonna have you do it a little bit differently 08:03 and that's gonna be cool for the science part. 08:05 So, hey, let's go ahead and separate over here. 08:07 Let's give them a nice area so they can throw 08:09 all the way down there. 08:10 Are you ready? 08:12 Okay, all right, spread out a little bit. 08:13 Okay, all right. 08:15 Make sure you're not in front of anybody. 08:16 All right, all right. Here we go. 08:17 And let's give them a countdown. 08:19 Three, two, one, let's go. 08:20 Three, two, one, 08:22 and throw that ball way down there. 08:25 Okay, our markers are gonna mark it. 08:26 Whoa, look at how far that one went down there. 08:29 Okay, they're gonna mark our tennis balls 08:31 to figure out how far they went. 08:32 Okay, now turn around over here. 08:34 Let's see what we got. 08:35 Now have you ever wanted to throw 08:36 even farther than that? 08:38 Yeah. Yeah. 08:39 Well, you know what we can do? 08:41 We can use the science of an ancient device. 08:42 It's called an atlatl. 08:44 And atlatl was used by people a long time ago 08:47 for hunting sometimes, and it gave them better skill, 08:49 and it made them throw things better. 08:51 So here's what we got. 08:52 I've got one of these right here for you. 08:54 So here we go. Go ahead and grab one of those. 08:56 There we go. 08:58 We're gonna use the arms in the same way, 09:00 but now it's gonna make your arm a lot longer 09:03 and the ball ought to do what? 09:04 Go farther. 09:06 It ought to go all out further and that should be really cool. 09:08 All right, are we ready? Okay. 09:10 Okay, spread out right over here. 09:12 And are you ready down there? 09:14 Let's give them a countdown to see if we can go farther. 09:17 Three, two, one, 09:20 and get that thing going right over there. 09:23 Whoa, look how far that one went. 09:25 So far that one went. Whoa. 09:28 Hey, and, you know what, 09:30 most of them went further than the first time. 09:32 Hey, come on back over here. Come on back over here. 09:34 Did you see how far that thing went, those balls went? 09:38 And why did it go farther? 09:40 It went farther because what happened to their arm? 09:45 It really lengthened their arm, 09:47 instead of being an arm this long 09:49 and now it's from here to there. 09:51 And we have a very, very long lever. 09:53 Isn't that cool? 09:55 You know, that reminds me, boys and girls, 09:57 because, you know, sometimes 09:59 if we want things to be different, 10:02 we have to ask, right? 10:03 Yeah! I think so too. 10:05 And so if they asked for this the first time, 10:07 it could've been thrown really, really far. 10:10 And that reminds me of a text in the Bible 10:12 and it's from Matthew, Matthew 7:7. 10:15 says that, it says, 10:18 "Ask and you shall," what? 10:20 Receive. "Receive." 10:22 Because sometimes we don't ask God, 10:23 we don't ask Jesus for help 10:26 and He wants to help us all the time. 10:28 Isn't that cool? 10:29 Yeah. I think so too. 10:31 Remember, when we learn more about science, 10:33 we learn more about our creator, God. 10:45 Mm, these cookies smell delicious, 10:47 and they're my favorite. 10:50 They sure do smell delicious. 10:52 Oh, they look amazing. 10:54 I think I'm gonna eat one, like, right now. 10:56 No, Miss Brenda told us not to eat any before dinner. 11:01 Oh, she won't mind 11:03 if there's just, like, a few missing. 11:10 Hi, kids. 11:11 Hi, Miss Brenda. 11:14 We were just talking about 11:17 how much we were looking forward to dinner. 11:21 Oh, really now? That's not what I heard. 11:26 You know, kids, I realized that 11:27 sometimes self-control isn't always easy, is it? 11:31 Would you like to hear a story? 11:32 Ooh! We love stories. 11:35 Well, I'd like to tell you a story about a man 11:37 who had trouble with self-control. 11:39 And his name was Samson. 11:44 You know, the family of Manoah lived near the hill country 11:47 overlooking the Philistine plain. 11:49 And one night, an angel of God appeared to Manoah's wife, 11:53 bearing a message of a son. 11:55 When she shared the message with her husband, 11:57 he prayed that the angel would come again. 12:01 There, just as I told you, 12:03 the angel of God has appeared again. 12:05 God has answered your prayer. 12:07 Let him repeat the message to you. 12:12 Are you the man who spoke to this woman? 12:17 I am. 12:18 Let your words come to pass. 12:21 What will be the boy's rule of life and his work? 12:27 Indeed. 12:29 You will both be blessed with a son. 12:32 He will be stronger than any other, 12:35 a Nazirite from birth that will begin 12:38 the deliverance of Israel. 12:41 While a child, you shall have no drink of the wine, 12:45 nor other strong drink. 12:48 You shall eat nothing that is considered unclean, 12:51 and also the same shall be for the child. 12:55 He is to be denied strong drink and unclean meals, 13:00 but most importantly, 13:01 let no razor come to touch his hair. 13:05 This is the will of God. 13:09 Yes, this shall be done, 13:11 and we shall raise this child 13:15 as you have instructed. 13:21 Samson's parents did exactly as the angel instructed them. 13:24 And Samson grew up to be a very strong man. 13:28 His strength was so impressive 13:31 that he attracted a lot of attention. 13:36 Wow. 13:40 Oh, Samson, you are so strong. 13:44 I know. Let me show you. 13:46 Ow! Ow! Ow! 13:50 But Samson did not use his strength with grace. 13:53 And in spite of what God had planned for Samson, 13:57 he fell in with the wrong crowd. 13:59 He became friends with the Philistines 14:02 and they were enemies of the Israelites. 14:05 Against his parent's wishes, he married a Philistine woman. 14:09 Of course, it ended badly and Samson took his anger out 14:13 on her people by burning up their fields, 14:16 destroying their vineyards, and killing 3,000 Philistines 14:21 with the jawbone of a donkey. 14:24 After his victory, the Israelites were inspired. 14:27 They fought for their freedom 14:29 and they rewarded Samson by making him a judge. 14:33 But he hadn't quite learned his lesson yet. 14:37 So what did he do? 14:39 Well, that's a good question, Kylie. 14:41 Do you know Samson placed too much trust 14:43 in his own physical strength and forgot where his problems 14:47 had come from in the first place? 14:49 Eventually, Samson found himself 14:52 taken by the beauty of another woman. 14:55 And her name was Delilah. 14:57 Ooh! Ooh! 15:05 Delilah, listen, you're being paid 15:11 to find the source of Samson's strength. 15:14 Now what's taking so long? 15:16 I just need a little more time. 15:18 Now go with haste before he returns. 15:21 We'll go, but you better find out that secret. 15:39 Samson, welcome home, my dear. 15:42 Oh, it's so good to see you. 15:44 Delilah, you grow more beautiful 15:47 with each passing second. 15:49 You claim to love me. 15:51 Is that right, my dear? 15:53 Yes. 15:54 Well, since you love me so much, 15:56 you would never keep anything from me. 15:58 Would you? 16:00 Of course, not. 16:02 Well, then tell me this, 16:04 what is the source of your strength? 16:06 Is there anything capable of weakening you? 16:09 Please don't lie to me again. 16:11 First, it was fresh bowstrings 16:13 and when I tied your hands with them, 16:15 you broke them like they were straw. 16:17 And then you lied again and said that 16:19 new rope would take away your strength, 16:20 but no, you broke those as easily as the bow strings. 16:24 And the last time I asked, and we sat all that time, 16:28 weaving your seven braids into the loom, 16:30 and when you woke up, 16:32 you not only freed yourself from the loom, 16:34 but I had to buy a new one. 16:36 Now stop lying to me. 16:39 If you truly love me, 16:41 you'd stop making such a fool out of me. 16:44 Delilah, I'm sorry. 16:49 I will tell you the source of my strength, 16:54 but you must never tell anyone. 16:59 My hair has never been cut. 17:03 And if a razor were to cut off my hair, 17:05 I would lose my strength. 17:09 Your hair? Truly? 17:12 Let me get this straight. 17:14 If your hair is cut, 17:17 you'll be as weak as any other man? 17:21 Yes, Delilah. 17:23 This is my secret. 17:25 My hair must never be cut. 17:32 Samson doesn't seem very smart. 17:34 Did he really think he could trust Delilah? 17:36 Well, that's a good point, Ethan. 17:38 I just want to know if she cut his hair or not. 17:40 So did she? 17:42 Yes, she did. 17:43 She told the Philistines what Samson had said. 17:46 And the next time they came, 17:48 they shaved off his hair as soon as he fell asleep. 17:53 And so for the first time in his entire life, 17:57 Samson's hair was cut. 17:59 Without his strength, he was easily taken prisoner. 18:03 And then the Philistines paid Delilah for a job well done. 18:11 Oh, Samson, the Philistines are upon you. 18:33 To celebrate the victory over their long pursuit enemy, 18:37 the Philistine royalty threw a great feast 18:40 in the temple of their God, to which Delilah was invited. 18:44 After being captured, 18:46 Samson's eyes had been gouged out 18:48 and he had been thrown in prison. 18:50 But this celebration called for his presence, 18:54 a blind Samson was brought out of prison 18:57 and brought to the temple 18:58 to provide entertainment for the guests. 19:01 Attention, everyone! 19:03 Our God has delivered into our hands Samson, 19:09 our enemy. 19:32 Samson had been a prisoner for so long 19:35 that his hair had started to grow back 19:37 and with it, his strength. 19:40 Can you take me to the pillars? 19:53 I have no one to blame, but himself. 19:57 I was given a great gift and I turned away from God. 20:04 Father, You have not forgotten me. 20:11 I pray to You, give me strength, 20:16 just this once that I may destroy the Philistines, 20:21 even if I must die too. 20:45 It seems to me, like, 20:46 Samson was like the strongest man in the world. 20:49 But he was also very weak. 20:51 He made some really bad choices. 20:54 You're right, Kylie. 20:56 And you're right, Ethan, too. 20:57 But God wants us to make the right choices, doesn't He? 21:01 And He wants us to live long and happy lives. 21:03 And we can do that by following His plan 21:07 and trusting in Him 21:08 even when were tempted to go against His plan. 21:11 So remember, even when it's hard, 21:14 trust in God. 21:16 And do what you know to be right. 21:19 Well, kids, it's almost dinner time. 21:22 Well, we'll help you set the table for dinner. 21:25 And then we can have some your delicious cookies after dinner. 21:28 That's a good plan. Let's get started, kids. 21:31 Let's get the plates over here. 21:44 More about Jesus I would know 21:48 More of His grace to others show 21:53 More of His saving fullness see 21:58 More of His love 22:00 Who died for me 22:02 More, more about Jesus 22:07 More, more about Jesus 22:11 More of His saving fullness see 22:16 More of His love 22:19 Who died for me 22:30 Hi, boys and girls, 22:31 it's time for Miss Brenda's Book of the Day. 22:34 And today's book is by Stanley M. Maxwell 22:38 and it has a funny title. 22:40 It's called "Him Big God Day 22:42 And Other Remarkable Sabbath Stories." 22:45 Isn't that kind of funny title? 22:46 "Him Big God Day." 22:48 Well, it's filled with mission stories 22:49 and you will want to read this book. 22:52 I'm excited to have this time with you. 22:53 I thought today I would share some of your letters 22:56 that you've written telling me what you do to share Jesus. 23:00 Kids' Time has been on the air for now for almost 15 years. 23:03 And over the years, 23:04 I've received letters from over 119 different countries. 23:08 Isn't that amazing? 23:09 And today, I also want to invite you to join 23:12 our Kids Club and sign up for our Bible lessons. 23:15 We have over 30,000 kids enrolled in Bible studies 23:19 right now today. 23:20 And I am praising Jesus for each one of you. 23:22 So if you are not yet signed up for our Kids Club, 23:26 go to kidstime4jesus.org and sign up today. 23:29 Won't you? 23:31 And when you're all done with the lessons, guess what, 23:33 we're gonna send you a brand new Bible absolutely free. 23:36 Isn't that wonderful? 23:38 Well, somebody that's joining us today 23:39 for a while I read the letters is Maxwell. 23:42 Hey, Max. Maxwell is doing well. 23:44 Maxwell is famous for and that is, he's sleeping. 23:48 Yes, Maxwell's famous for sleeping, 23:50 and there is a reason why Maxwell so sleepy. 23:53 So many people will ask me, 23:54 "Why is Maxwell so sleepy? Do you drug him?" 23:57 And no, we do not drag them. 23:58 We don't do anything to make him sleepy. 24:00 In fact, when people ask me, do you know what I tell them? 24:03 I say Jesus makes him sleepy and they're like, "What?" 24:07 And yes, that's true. 24:09 The secret to why Maxwell is so sleepy 24:11 is in my bedtime story books. 24:13 I have five books, Miss Brenda's Bedtime Stories. 24:15 And in volume one, there's a chapter called 24:18 "Maxwell, the Kids Time Dog." 24:20 And the secret why Maxwell's so sleepy 24:22 is in that volume one, "Maxwell, the Kids Time Dog." 24:26 It's a pretty amazing story. I think you'll like it. 24:29 Well, Maxwell's sleeping, but you're not. 24:31 Let's read some letters. 24:32 I have a letter here from St. Lucia. 24:35 And let's see... 24:37 Oh, we have a picture, and I love the pictures. 24:39 Thank you, boys and girls, for the pictures. 24:41 There is a picture right there, and let's see what she says, 24:44 "Dear, Miss Brenda, 24:46 my name is Darcel, and I'm 10 years old. 24:49 I love watching Kids' Time and my favorite parts are 24:51 Learning Time and Story Time. 24:53 I share Jesus by singing 24:55 and I also share Him everywhere I meet. 24:57 And I can't wait to meet Jesus in heaven. 25:00 I am praying for you too. 25:01 Your dear friend, Darcel. 25:03 Darcel, thank you for your letter, 25:04 and thank you for your prayers. 25:06 That means a lot to Miss Brenda. 25:08 I really appreciate your prayers, boys and girls. 25:10 So many of you write and tell me, 25:11 you're praying for me, 25:13 and that's one of the best things 25:14 people can do for me.
