01:17 I would like to have heard Him preach 01:19 and watched Him heal the sick. 01:21 I would like to have been standing by the road, 01:23 waving palm branches, 01:24 and singing Hosanna to The Son of David 01:26 when He entered Jerusalem on a donkey. 01:29 It would have been exciting 01:30 to think about having Him as a king. 01:33 Soon, Jesus will come to take us to heaven 01:35 where He will be our king forever. 01:38 His government will be based on love. 01:40 When we think about heaven and having Jesus as our king, 01:43 we can sing Hosanna to The Son of David. 01:48 "Hosanna to the Son of David! 01:51 Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" 01:53 Matthew 21:9. 01:58 Hosanna to the Son of David 02:03 Hosanna, hosanna 02:08 Hosanna to the Son of David 02:13 Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord 02:22 Hosanna to the Son of David 02:27 Hosanna, hosanna 02:32 Hosanna to the Son of David 02:37 Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord 02:46 Hosanna to the Son of David 02:51 Hosanna, hosanna 02:56 Hosanna to the Son of David 03:01 Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord 03:23 One day, Jesus was in a temple with His disciples 03:26 when a poor widow came in 03:28 and put two mites in the offering. 03:30 That was not much money at all. 03:32 But Jesus called His disciples to Him 03:35 and told them that she had given 03:36 more than all the other worshippers. 03:39 The disciples couldn't understand what Jesus meant. 03:42 He explained 03:44 that some of the wealthy people had given much 03:46 but they had much more that they could have given. 03:50 The widow gave all that she had because she loved God. 03:54 Listen to what the Bible says about giving. 03:58 "God loves a cheerful giver." 04:01 2 Corinthians 9:7. 04:07 God 04:09 loves a C-H-E-E-R-F-U-L C-H-E-E-R-F-U-L G-I-V-E-R 04:16 God 04:17 loves a C-H-E-E-R-F-U-L G-I-V-E-R 04:25 God loves a cheerful giver 04:29 A cheerful giver, a cheerful giver 04:34 God loves a cheerful giver 04:38 God loves a cheerful giver 04:43 God 04:44 loves a C-H-E-E-R-F-U-L C-H-E-E-R-F-U-L G-I-V-E-R 04:51 God 04:53 loves a C-H-E-E-R-F-U-L G-I-V-E-R 05:00 God loves a cheerful giver 05:05 A cheerful giver, a cheerful giver 05:09 God loves a cheerful giver 05:14 God loves a cheerful giver 05:18 God 05:20 loves a C-H-E-E-R-F-U-L C-H-E-E-R-F-U-L G-I-V-E-R 05:27 God loves a C-H-E-E-R-F-U-L G-I-V-E-R 05:43 Let's read Matthew 24:14. 05:47 "This gospel of the kingdom 05:48 will be preached in the whole world 05:50 as a testimony to all the nations, 05:52 and then the end will come." 05:55 What is the gospel? 05:56 The gospel is the good news. 05:58 The good news about what? 06:00 The good news that Jesus loves us 06:02 and died to save us from our sins. 06:04 That's right. 06:05 But how are we going to preach the gospel? 06:08 I can tell my friends that God loves them. 06:10 I can ask Jesus to give me more of loving heart 06:13 so that others can see the difference 06:14 His love is made in me. 06:16 I can also give money to help send missionaries 06:19 to foreign lands to tell others about the love of Jesus. 06:23 Those are all good ways to help preach the gospel. 06:26 And there's something that each one of us can do 06:28 to help tell others about Jesus 06:30 so that He can come soon 06:32 and take us to live with Him in heaven. 06:35 "This gospel of the kingdom 06:36 will be preached in the whole world 06:39 as a testimony to all the nations, 06:41 and then the end will come." 06:43 Matthew 24:14. 06:49 This gospel of the kingdom 06:51 Will be preached in the whole world 06:54 As a testimony to all nations 06:58 This gospel of the kingdom 07:00 Will be preached in the whole world 07:03 And then the end will come 07:07 This gospel of the kingdom 07:09 Will be preached in the whole world 07:12 As a testimony to all nations 07:16 This gospel of the kingdom 07:18 Will be preached in the whole world 07:21 And then the end will come 07:25 This gospel of the kingdom 07:27 Will be preached in the whole world 07:30 As a testimony to all nations 07:34 This gospel of the kingdom 07:36 Will be preached in the whole world 07:39 And then the end will come 07:55 David was in danger many times during his life. 07:59 He killed a lion and a bear 08:00 to keep them from harming his sheep. 08:03 He fought the giant Goliath and he hid from Saul in a cave 08:07 because he was afraid for his life. 08:09 One thing that David learned through all of these 08:12 was that God is able to protect us 08:14 no matter what happens. 08:16 In Psalm 91, 08:18 David tells us how God protects us. 08:22 "He will command His angels concerning you 08:25 to guard you in all your ways." 08:27 Psalm 91:11. 08:33 He will command His angels 08:37 Concerning you 08:42 To guard you, to guard you 08:46 In all your ways 08:52 He will command His angels 08:56 Concerning you 09:01 To guard you, to guard you 09:05 In all your ways 09:11 He will command His angels 09:15 Concerning you 09:20 To guard you, to guard you 09:24 In all your ways 09:30 He will command His angels 09:34 Concerning you 09:39 To guard you, to guard you 09:43 In all your ways 10:01 Do you ever have friends or grandparents 10:03 come to visit you from a long way away? 10:06 If they have a long way to drive, 10:07 they probably tell you 10:09 what time they expect to arrive. 10:10 But there is no way of knowing exactly 10:12 when they will get there. 10:14 When it gets close to the time that you are expecting them, 10:17 you probably keep running to your window 10:18 every time you hear a car to see if it's them. 10:22 The Bible tells us that there is no way we can know 10:24 when Jesus will come again either. 10:26 But it warns us to watch so that we can know 10:28 when the time is near and to pray 10:30 so that we can be prepared to meet Him when He comes. 10:35 "Keep watch 10:36 because you do not know the day or the hour." 10:39 Matthew 25:13. 10:45 Keep watch, keep watch 10:48 Because you do not know the day or the hour 10:54 Keep watch 10:55 because you do not know the day or the hour 11:02 Keep watch, keep watch 11:05 Because you do not know the day or the hour 11:11 Keep watch 11:12 because you do not know the day or the hour 11:19 Keep watch, keep watch 11:23 Because you do not know the day or the hour 11:28 Keep watch 11:29 because you do not know the day or the hour 11:34 Keep watch, keep watch 11:38 Because you do not know the day or the hour 11:51 If you've ever had someone say something bad 11:53 about your parents or brothers or sisters, 11:56 you should be able to understand this next verse. 11:59 When someone says something unkind 12:01 about someone in your family, 12:02 it probably hurts your feelings and makes you feel sad. 12:06 We are all God's children, 12:08 and Jesus said that if we are unkind to any of His children, 12:11 we are being unkind to Him. 12:14 But if we do something nice for someone, 12:16 we are doing it to Him. 12:18 Remember that anything you do to one of God's children, 12:21 you do to Him. 12:23 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, 12:27 whatever you did 12:28 for one of the least of these brothers of mine, 12:31 you did for me.'" 12:32 Matthew 25:40. 12:37 The King will reply, I tell you the truth 12:41 Whatever you did 12:44 for one of the least 12:48 Of these brothers of mine, 12:51 you did for me 12:54 The King will reply, I tell you the truth 12:59 Whatever you did for one of the least 13:05 Of these brothers of mine, 13:08 you did for me 13:11 The King will reply, I tell you the truth 13:16 Whatever you did for one of the least 13:22 Of these brothers of mine, 13:25 you did for me 13:29 The King will reply, I tell you the truth 13:33 Whatever you did for one of the least 13:39 Of these brothers of mine, 13:43 you did for me 13:56 I'm sure you've played follow the leader, haven't you? 13:59 I have. 14:00 The fun thing about follow the leader 14:02 is trying to do everything exactly like the leader did it. 14:07 Jesus is our leader, 14:08 and He said that we should do as He has done. 14:12 He showed us how to be loving, and kind, and helpful. 14:16 The way to be really happy is to live everyday 14:19 as we think Jesus would if He were in our place. 14:23 "I have set you an example 14:25 that you should do as I have done for you." 14:28 John 13:15. 14:31 I have, I have 14:36 Set you an example, set you an example 14:41 I have, I have 14:46 Set you an example, set you an example 14:50 That you should do, that you should do 14:55 As I have done, as I have done 15:00 As I have done for you As I have done for you 15:05 I have, I have 15:10 Set you an example, set you an example 15:15 I have, I have 15:19 Set you an example, set you an example 15:24 That you should do, that you should do 15:29 As I have done, as I have done 15:33 As I have done for you 15:37 As I have done for you 15:53 On the same night 15:54 that Jesus washed the disciple's feet, 15:57 He told them to watch and pray 15:59 because He knew they'd be tempted 16:00 to turn away from Him. 16:02 Jesus led the disciples 16:04 to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. 16:06 Before He prayed, the disciples fell asleep. 16:10 If Jesus who had never sinned needed to pray, 16:14 don't you think the disciples needed to? 16:17 Are you ever tempted 16:18 to do something you know is wrong? 16:20 How do you think you should prepare 16:22 to say no to temptation? 16:25 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation." 16:30 Matthew 26:41. 16:37 Watch and pray, watch and pray 16:44 So that you will not fall into temptation 16:48 Watch and pray 16:52 Watch and pray, watch and pray 17:00 So that you will not fall into temptation 17:04 Watch and pray 17:08 Watch and pray, watch and pray 17:16 So that you will not fall into temptation 17:20 Watch and pray 17:24 Watch and pray, watch and pray 17:31 So that you will not fall into temptation 17:35 Watch and pray 17:52 Have you ever said something 17:53 that you wished you hadn't said? 17:55 That's what Peter did 17:56 on the night before Jesus' crucifixion. 17:59 He was so afraid 18:00 that if people knew he was a friend of Jesus, 18:03 they would hurt him. 18:04 So he said he didn't know Jesus, 18:06 and then he saw a sad look in Jesus' eyes, 18:09 and he wished he'd never said that he didn't know Him. 18:12 Jesus knew that Peter was sorry and He forgave him. 18:16 He will forgive our sins too if we will just ask Him to. 18:20 "You are forgiving and good, O Lord." 18:23 Psalm 86:5. 18:28 You are forgiving, You are forgiving 18:33 You are forgiving and good, O Lord 18:38 You are forgiving, You are good 18:43 You are forgiving and good, O Lord 18:47 You are forgiving, You are forgiving 18:52 You are forgiving and good, O Lord 18:57 You are forgiving, You are good 19:02 You are forgiving and good, O Lord 19:07 You are forgiving, You are forgiving 19:11 You are forgiving and good, O Lord 19:16 You are forgiving, You are good 19:21 You are forgiving and good, O Lord 19:26 You are forgiving, You are forgiving 19:31 You are forgiving and good, O Lord 19:35 You are forgiving, You are good 19:40 You are forgiving and good, O Lord. 19:55 What is the most important thing in your life? 19:58 Think carefully. 20:00 Our families are important to us. 20:02 Our friends are important. 20:04 Our toys may be important to us. 20:06 Or you may think that money is pretty important. 20:09 But do you realize that any of these things 20:11 can be taken away from us at any time? 20:14 There is only one thing 20:15 that can't be taken away from us, 20:17 and that's Jesus. 20:19 That's why the Bible says 20:21 that we should seek His kingdom, 20:23 which means that we should get to know Him 20:26 and ask Him to make us like Him. 20:29 Listen. 20:30 "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, 20:35 and all these things will be given to you as well." 20:39 Matthew 6:33. 20:46 Seek first His kingdom 20:51 And His righteousness 20:55 And all these things will be given to you 21:01 As well 21:05 Seek first His kingdom 21:10 And His righteousness 21:14 And all these things will be given to you 21:20 As well 21:24 Seek first His kingdom 21:29 And His righteousness 21:33 And all these things will be given to you 21:39 As well 21:43 Seek first His kingdom 21:47 And His righteousness 21:52 And all these things will be given to you 21:58 As well 22:02 And all these things will be given to you 22:08 As well. 22:22 One night, on the evening news, 22:24 I saw a picture of a plane that had crashed into a river. 22:28 It was in the middle of the winter 22:29 and the water was icy cold. 22:32 I'll never forget seeing the picture of a young man 22:35 who kept jumping in to rescue other passengers 22:38 who were unable to get out of the water 22:39 by themselves. 22:41 He could easily have lost his life 22:43 while he was saving others. 22:44 But that was the risk that he was willing to take. 22:47 Jesus willing died to save all 22:50 who would accept the gift of salvation. 22:52 There is no greater love than that. 22:55 "Greater love has no one than this 22:59 that he lay down his life for his friends." 23:04 John 15:13. 23:08 Greater love has no one 23:13 no one, no one 23:18 Greater love has no one than this 23:22 That he lay down his life for his friends 23:30 Greater love has no one 23:35 no one, no one 23:39 Greater love has no one than this 23:44 That he lay down his life for his friends 24:01 Imagine that you had a friend 24:03 who had been really special to you, 24:06 someone who always knew 24:07 just what to say to make you feel better, 24:10 someone who encouraged you instead of scolding you 24:12 when you did something wrong. 24:14 Now imagine your special friend died, 24:18 you'd feel pretty sad, wouldn't you? 24:21 That's how the disciples and Mary 24:22 and the rest of Jesus' followers felt 24:24 on the Sunday morning after Jesus' death. 24:27 But Jesus didn't stay in the grave, did He? 24:30 If Jesus had stayed in the grave, 24:32 we wouldn't have any hope of eternal life. 24:35 I am glad He was raised from the dead. 24:37 How about you? 24:40 "Christ has indeed been raised from the dead." 24:43 1 Corinthians 15:20. 24:50 Christ has indeed been raised from the dead 24:53 Raised from the death, raised from the dead 24:57 Christ has indeed been raised from the dead 25:01 Christ has indeed been raised 25:04 Christ has indeed been raised from the dead 25:08 Raised from the death, raised from the dead 25:11 Christ has indeed been raised from the dead 25:15 Christ has indeed been raised 25:19 Christ has indeed been raised from the dead 25:22 Raised from the death, raised from the dead 25:26 Christ has indeed been raised from the dead 25:29 Christ has indeed been raised 25:33 Christ has indeed been raised from the dead 25:37 Raised from the death, raised from the dead 25:40 Christ has indeed been raised from the dead 25:44 Christ has indeed been raised 25:47 Christ has indeed been raised 25:51 Christ has indeed been raised 26:02 Have you ever wished you lived in a bigger house, 26:04 or have nicer clothes to wear, or more toys? 26:08 I bet some of you would like to have a new bicycle 26:11 or better if you had a four wheeler. 26:13 Most of us have wants. 26:16 There's nothing wrong with these things. 26:18 But the Bible encourages us to be content with what we have 26:22 because no matter what, God is always with us. 26:27 "Be content with what you have because God has said, 26:30 'Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.'" 26:34 Hebrews 13:5. 26:39 Be content with what you have 26:43 Be content with what you have 26:47 Because God has said 26:50 Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you 26:57 Be content with what you have 27:02 Be content with what you have 27:06 Because God has said 27:08 Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you 27:15 Be content with what you have 27:20 Be content with what you have 27:24 Because God has said 27:26 Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you 27:33 Be content with what you have 27:38 Be content with what you have 27:42 Because God has said 27:45 Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you 27:51 Never will I forsake you |
