00:00:27.26\00:00:32.59
Hi, boys and girls,
00:00:32.63\00:00:34.00
did you know that
Satan was so angry with God
00:00:34.03\00:00:37.07
for casting him out of heaven
that he wanted to hurt God.
00:00:37.10\00:00:41.10
He knew that the very best
way to do that was to cause
00:00:41.14\00:00:44.21
Adam and Eve to disobey.
00:00:44.24\00:00:46.37
So using a tree
and a piece of fruit,
00:00:46.41\00:00:49.38
Satan convinced them
00:00:49.41\00:00:51.08
that the God who
claimed to love them so much
00:00:51.11\00:00:53.18
was keeping good
things from them.
00:00:53.21\00:00:55.72
Adam and Eve ate off the fruit
00:00:55.75\00:00:57.69
that they had been
commanded not to eat,
00:00:57.72\00:01:00.49
and thus sin was
born into the human heart.
00:01:00.52\00:01:04.23
The amazing thing is
God already had a plan,
00:01:04.26\00:01:07.66
a plan that would save
humans from the disease of sin.
00:01:07.70\00:01:11.97
But their salvation
came at a very high price.
00:01:12.00\00:01:15.44
It would cost the life
of God's only Son Jesus,
00:01:15.47\00:01:19.71
and although sin was
introduced to the world
00:01:19.74\00:01:22.24
through Satan using a tree,
00:01:22.28\00:01:24.48
the victory over sin was
won through Jesus on a tree.
00:01:24.51\00:01:30.59
The cross that
Jesus was crucified on
00:01:30.62\00:01:33.15
was made from a tree
one that He created himself.
00:01:33.19\00:01:36.93
Yes, Jesus grew the
tree that He knew would be
00:01:36.96\00:01:41.73
used to make the
old-rugged cross.
00:01:41.76\00:01:45.03
Praise the Lord that
Jesus loved us so much
00:01:45.07\00:01:48.80
He willingly gave
his life to save us.
00:01:48.84\00:01:52.11
Think about
God's great sacrifice
00:01:52.14\00:01:54.24
as Samara sings,
"He grew the tree".
00:01:54.28\00:01:57.71
He molded and built
00:02:07.72\00:02:12.49
On a lonely hill
00:02:12.53\00:02:17.47
That He knew
00:02:17.50\00:02:19.87
Would be called Calvary
00:02:19.90\00:02:27.44
Then He made a seed
00:02:27.48\00:02:32.21
That would grow to be
00:02:32.25\00:02:37.49
Thorns that would
make His Son bleed
00:02:37.52\00:02:43.26
Then He made a green stem
00:02:46.29\00:02:51.03
Gave it leaves and gave it
00:02:51.07\00:02:56.74
Sunlight and rain and
Sheltered it with moss
00:02:56.77\00:03:02.61
He grew the tree
00:03:06.21\00:03:10.69
That He knew would be
00:03:10.72\00:03:15.59
Used to make
the old-rugged cross
00:03:15.62\00:03:21.36
Nothing took His life
00:03:24.97\00:03:29.64
With love He gave it
00:03:29.67\00:03:34.88
He was crucified on a tree
00:03:34.91\00:03:40.62
That He created
00:03:40.65\00:03:44.42
Great love for man
00:03:44.45\00:03:48.26
Made him stick with His plan
00:03:48.29\00:03:53.83
He grew the tree
00:03:53.86\00:03:58.07
So that we might be free
00:03:58.10\00:04:03.51
Nothing took His life
00:04:03.54\00:04:07.81
With love He gave it
00:04:07.84\00:04:13.11
He was crucified on a tree
00:04:13.15\00:04:18.75
That He created
00:04:18.79\00:04:22.32
Great love for man
00:04:22.36\00:04:26.19
Made him stick with His plan
00:04:26.23\00:04:31.87
He grew the tree
00:04:31.90\00:04:36.07
So that we might be free
00:04:36.10\00:04:42.68
He grew the tree
00:04:42.71\00:04:47.12
So that we might be free.
00:04:47.15\00:04:53.56
When Jesus hung on the cross,
He died to save all mankind.
00:05:10.94\00:05:15.18
But did you know
00:05:15.21\00:05:16.54
that he would
have died for just you?
00:05:16.58\00:05:19.08
In the book of Luke,
00:05:19.11\00:05:20.52
Jesus tells the
story of a missing sheep.
00:05:20.55\00:05:23.18
He said that even though
there are 99 other sheep,
00:05:23.22\00:05:26.35
the missing one is so
important that it must be found.
00:05:26.39\00:05:30.29
He wants you to know
that if you are lost,
00:05:30.33\00:05:32.46
He will search for
you until He finds you.
00:05:32.49\00:05:35.36
Listen now as Avery plays
on a saxophone, "Above All".
00:05:35.40\00:05:39.83
There's a prison in
Brazil that's run by Christians.
00:08:53.09\00:08:56.43
It is a clean, well kept,
orderly, and peaceful prison.
00:08:56.46\00:09:00.54
And on the
walls hangs scriptures
00:09:00.57\00:09:02.34
from Psalms and Proverbs.
00:09:02.37\00:09:04.27
However, this prison
used to be quite different.
00:09:04.31\00:09:07.48
And there was
one particular cell
00:09:07.51\00:09:09.64
that was used
exclusively for torture.
00:09:09.68\00:09:12.45
Today, that cell
has only one inmate.
00:09:12.48\00:09:15.62
And if you open up the
door and you look inside,
00:09:15.65\00:09:19.35
you'll see a beautiful
carving made by the prisoners
00:09:19.39\00:09:22.66
of Jesus hanging on the cross.
00:09:22.69\00:09:25.69
You see, we are the ones
that deserve the punishment
00:09:25.73\00:09:28.73
that Jesus took for us.
00:09:28.76\00:09:30.83
It was sin that
hung Him on the cross,
00:09:30.87\00:09:33.54
the sins that we have committed.
00:09:33.57\00:09:35.70
But Jesus love is
beyond understanding,
00:09:35.74\00:09:38.61
and we have Him to
thank for taking our place
00:09:38.64\00:09:41.84
in that prison cell.
00:09:41.88\00:09:43.61
Here are The Kids Time
Singers with "Amazing Grace".
00:09:43.65\00:09:47.12
Amazing Grace,
how sweet the sound
00:09:55.19\00:10:02.36
That saved a wretch like me
00:10:02.40\00:10:09.24
I was once lost
but now I'm found
00:10:09.27\00:10:16.38
Was blind, but now I see
00:10:16.41\00:10:23.32
'Twas Grace that
taught My heart to fear
00:10:23.35\00:10:30.59
And grace, my fears relieved
00:10:30.63\00:10:37.37
How precious did
that grace appear
00:10:37.40\00:10:44.37
The hour I first believed.
00:10:44.41\00:10:51.75
Through many
dangers, toils and snares
00:10:51.78\00:10:58.65
I have already come
00:10:58.69\00:11:05.23
'Tis grace that
brought me safe thus far
00:11:05.26\00:11:12.43
And grace will lead me home.
00:11:12.47\00:11:19.41
When we've been
there ten thousand years
00:11:19.44\00:11:26.55
Bright shining as the sun.
00:11:26.58\00:11:33.36
We've no less days
to sing God's praise
00:11:33.39\00:11:40.40
Than when we first begun.
00:11:40.43\00:11:44.90
Have you ever been bullied?
00:11:50.84\00:11:52.64
Kids bully others for all
different kinds of reasons,
00:11:52.67\00:11:56.04
because they have
braces on their teeth,
00:11:56.08\00:11:57.98
because they wore glasses,
00:11:58.01\00:11:59.35
or maybe because they
just are not good at sports.
00:11:59.38\00:12:02.72
Do you sometimes feel like
you just aren't good enough?
00:12:02.75\00:12:06.69
I wish we lived in a
world where we were not judged
00:12:06.72\00:12:09.32
by the size of our house
00:12:09.36\00:12:10.69
or by the brand
of shoes on our feet.
00:12:10.73\00:12:13.19
Did you know in God's
eyes we are all equal?
00:12:13.23\00:12:16.67
It doesn't matter where
we live, how old we are,
00:12:16.70\00:12:19.83
or what the
color of our skin is.
00:12:19.87\00:12:22.00
Take a minute to thank Jesus
at The Knowlton Brothers play,
00:12:22.04\00:12:26.27
"Jesus loves the
little children".
00:12:26.31\00:12:29.34
We all have those
certain things in life
00:13:20.90\00:13:22.96
we just don't enjoy doing.
00:13:23.00\00:13:25.63
Do you take music lessons?
00:13:25.67\00:13:27.34
Practicing may be boring,
00:13:27.37\00:13:28.90
but all that practice
will pay off some day.
00:13:28.94\00:13:32.41
And if you don't
like going to school,
00:13:32.44\00:13:34.48
someday, all that
education will be worth it.
00:13:34.51\00:13:37.81
The same with Jesus,
00:13:37.85\00:13:39.41
He knew that He
would overcome death
00:13:39.45\00:13:41.98
through his own death.
00:13:42.02\00:13:43.62
He could see all the good
00:13:43.65\00:13:45.12
that would come
from his sacrifice.
00:13:45.15\00:13:47.56
He invites you to lay all
your problems at the cross
00:13:47.59\00:13:50.76
and trust in His perfect plan.
00:13:50.79\00:13:53.29
Listen as Holly
sings "At the Cross".
00:13:53.33\00:13:56.33
Oh, Lord, You've searched me
00:14:11.38\00:14:17.45
You know my way
00:14:17.49\00:14:23.63
Even when I fail You
00:14:23.66\00:14:29.63
I know You love me
00:14:29.66\00:14:36.54
Your holy presence
00:14:36.57\00:14:43.11
Surrounding me
00:14:43.14\00:14:49.52
In every season
00:14:49.55\00:14:54.92
I know You love me
00:14:54.96\00:15:01.16
I know You love me
00:15:01.20\00:15:08.34
At the cross I bow my knee
00:15:08.37\00:15:11.64
Where Your blood was shed for me
00:15:11.67\00:15:14.91
There's no
greater love than this
00:15:14.94\00:15:21.28
You have overcome the grave
00:15:21.32\00:15:24.49
Your glory fills
the highest place
00:15:24.52\00:15:27.92
What can separate me now
00:15:27.96\00:15:31.29
At the cross I bow my knee
00:15:34.36\00:15:37.50
Where Your blood was shed for me
00:15:37.53\00:15:40.74
There's no
greater love than this
00:15:40.77\00:15:43.97
You have overcome the grave
00:15:47.14\00:15:50.18
Your glory fills
the highest place
00:15:50.21\00:15:53.58
What can separate me now
00:15:53.62\00:15:57.59
You tore the veil
00:15:57.62\00:16:00.89
You made a way
00:16:00.92\00:16:04.53
When You said that it is done
00:16:04.56\00:16:10.47
You tore the veil
00:16:10.50\00:16:13.60
You made a way
00:16:13.64\00:16:17.51
When You said that it is done.
00:16:17.54\00:16:22.38
When Jesus was here on earth,
00:16:29.22\00:16:31.05
Satan knew that if
Jesus made just one mistake,
00:16:31.09\00:16:34.62
there would be no salvation.
00:16:34.66\00:16:37.23
No human would ever enter
in through the heavenly gates.
00:16:37.26\00:16:40.43
They wouldn't cast
their crowns at Jesus feet
00:16:40.46\00:16:43.06
nor sing the
song of the Redeemed.
00:16:43.10\00:16:45.87
But Jesus never gave in.
00:16:45.90\00:16:48.20
When He hung on the cross,
00:16:48.24\00:16:49.57
He did so as the
perfect Lamb of God
00:16:49.60\00:16:52.57
who truly did take
away the sin of the world.
00:16:52.61\00:16:55.81
He won the victory
over sin and death.
00:16:55.84\00:16:58.71
Here's Jaydelle
with "They Could Not".
00:16:58.75\00:17:02.08
They looked at Him
00:17:13.06\00:17:15.63
And saw a simple man
00:17:15.66\00:17:22.80
A carpenter with
healing in His hands
00:17:22.84\00:17:30.05
They saw Him calm a sea
00:17:33.11\00:17:36.92
And heal a dying man
00:17:36.95\00:17:42.49
They saw but could
they really understand
00:17:42.52\00:17:49.30
They could not
00:17:55.70\00:18:01.41
They could not
00:18:01.44\00:18:06.41
Though they tried
00:18:06.45\00:18:08.68
They could not
00:18:12.09\00:18:16.26
He was just a simple carpenter
00:18:16.29\00:18:21.83
But with healing in His hands
00:18:21.86\00:18:27.77
But could they
really understand?
00:18:27.80\00:18:33.68
They could not
00:18:33.71\00:18:38.45
They listened to the
teachings that they heard
00:18:44.12\00:18:51.89
They wondered at
the mystery of His word
00:18:51.93\00:18:59.73
They wondered what He
meant, about a Father's plan
00:18:59.77\00:19:07.58
They heard but could
they really understand
00:19:07.61\00:19:14.98
They could not
00:19:21.62\00:19:26.46
They could not
00:19:26.49\00:19:30.77
Though they tried
00:19:30.80\00:19:36.24
They could not
00:19:36.27\00:19:40.21
They listened to the teachings
00:19:40.24\00:19:44.81
About a Father's plan
00:19:44.85\00:19:49.28
But could they
really understand?
00:19:49.32\00:19:54.22
They could not
00:19:54.26\00:19:57.03
So finally upon a rugged cross
00:20:11.07\00:20:18.85
They killed the man
who would not suffer loss
00:20:18.88\00:20:26.55
And then at last, they took
00:20:26.59\00:20:29.52
What willingly He gave
00:20:29.56\00:20:34.10
He died, but could
they keep Him in the grave
00:20:34.13\00:20:40.67
They could not
00:20:47.68\00:20:51.81
They could not Praise God
00:20:51.85\00:20:58.15
They could not
00:21:01.69\00:21:05.89
And then, at last
they took from Him
00:21:05.93\00:21:10.97
What willingly He gave
00:21:11.00\00:21:15.30
Could they keep Him in the grave
00:21:15.34\00:21:18.71
Could they keep Him in the grave
00:21:18.74\00:21:22.71
Could they keep Him in the grave
00:21:22.74\00:21:25.95
They could not
00:21:29.38\00:21:34.29
They could not Praise God
00:21:34.32\00:21:40.10
They could not
00:21:43.20\00:21:47.77
And then at last,
they took from Him
00:21:47.80\00:21:52.67
what willingly He gave
00:21:52.71\00:21:56.88
Could they keep Him in the grave
00:21:56.91\00:22:00.28
Could they keep Him in the grave
00:22:00.32\00:22:04.05
Could they keep Him in the grave
00:22:04.09\00:22:07.26
They could not
00:22:10.63\00:22:15.26
They could not.
00:22:20.57\00:22:23.94
A professor brought a box
of delicious-looking donuts
00:22:33.15\00:22:36.28
to class one day.
00:22:36.32\00:22:37.72
He asked the first
student in the first row,
00:22:37.75\00:22:40.06
if she would
like to have a donut.
00:22:40.09\00:22:41.89
When she said yes,
00:22:41.92\00:22:43.26
the professor
asked a boy named Steve
00:22:43.29\00:22:45.19
if he would do ten pushups
00:22:45.23\00:22:47.13
so that she
could have that donut.
00:22:47.16\00:22:49.80
Because the professor
had asked Steve before class
00:22:49.83\00:22:52.33
if he'd be willing to
help, Steve said sure.
00:22:52.37\00:22:55.27
The professor asked
student after student
00:22:55.30\00:22:57.91
if they would like a
donut, and many said yes.
00:22:57.94\00:23:01.08
Steve did even more pushups.
00:23:01.11\00:23:03.55
Now some students said no
00:23:03.58\00:23:05.58
but the
professor gave the donuts
00:23:05.61\00:23:07.52
to the students anyway.
00:23:07.55\00:23:09.08
And Steve did 10 more pushups
00:23:09.12\00:23:11.45
for the donut each
student didn't want.
00:23:11.49\00:23:15.09
One student wanted
to do their own pushups.
00:23:15.12\00:23:17.36
The professor said,
00:23:17.39\00:23:18.73
"No, that's not
the way this works."
00:23:18.76\00:23:21.66
Three hundred and
fifty pushups later
00:23:21.70\00:23:24.47
after every
student received a donut,
00:23:24.50\00:23:27.30
Steve collapsed
exhausted to the floor.
00:23:27.34\00:23:30.57
The professor turned
to his class and said,
00:23:30.61\00:23:33.38
and so it was that our
Savior Jesus Christ on the cross
00:23:33.41\00:23:37.68
said to the father,
00:23:37.71\00:23:39.28
"Into thy hands I
commend my spirit."
00:23:39.31\00:23:42.42
With the understanding
that he had done everything
00:23:42.45\00:23:45.19
that was required of him.
00:23:45.22\00:23:47.16
He yielded up his life.
00:23:47.19\00:23:48.92
And like some of
you in this room,
00:23:48.96\00:23:50.99
many of us leave the
gift on the desk uneaten.
00:23:51.03\00:23:55.40
Let's listen as Sam
sings "The Old Rugged Cross".
00:23:55.43\00:23:59.50
On a hill far away
00:24:09.01\00:24:13.52
Stood an old-rugged Cross
00:24:13.55\00:24:17.75
The emblem of
suffering and shame
00:24:17.79\00:24:25.29
How I love that old Cross
00:24:25.33\00:24:29.56
Where the dearest and best
00:24:29.60\00:24:33.50
For a world of
lost sinners was slain
00:24:33.54\00:24:40.78
So I'll cherish
the old-rugged Cross
00:24:40.81\00:24:48.65
Till my trophies
at last I lay down
00:24:48.68\00:24:56.49
I will cling to
the old-rugged Cross
00:24:56.52\00:25:03.70
And exchange it someday
00:25:03.73\00:25:07.30
For a crown
00:25:07.34\00:25:11.74
And exchange it
someday for a crown.
00:25:11.77\00:25:18.25
Boys and girls,
Jesus died on the cross
00:25:24.92\00:25:28.09
for you and me.
00:25:28.12\00:25:29.99
He left the splendor of heaven,
the company of His father,
00:25:30.03\00:25:33.23
and all the angels to be trapped
00:25:33.26\00:25:36.00
in a world full
of sin and sinners.
00:25:36.03\00:25:39.27
It was love, His
love for you and for me
00:25:39.30\00:25:42.94
that held him on that Cross.
00:25:42.97\00:25:45.01
At any time, He
could have changed his mind
00:25:45.04\00:25:47.81
but He loved us too much.
00:25:47.84\00:25:49.88
He died to save us.
00:25:49.91\00:25:52.88
Won't you give your
heart to Jesus today?
00:25:52.91\00:25:55.45
Remember, it's kids
time to praise Jesus.
00:25:55.48\00:25:59.59
