01:24 Sure you have. 01:26 To create means to make. 01:29 When you create something, you use your hands. 01:32 But when God created, it was different. 01:35 He spoke and it was done. 01:39 It's important for us to remember 01:41 that God created our earth and it belongs to Him. 01:47 "In the beginning 01:48 God created the heavens and the earth." 01:51 Genesis 1:1. 01:54 In the beginning 01:56 God created 01:58 God created the heavens and the earth 02:03 In the beginning 02:05 God created The heavens and the earth 02:12 In the beginning 02:14 God created 02:16 God created the heavens and the earth 02:21 In the beginning 02:23 God created The heavens and the earth 02:30 In the beginning 02:32 God created 02:34 God created the heavens and the earth 02:39 In the beginning 02:41 God created The heavens and the earth 02:54 After God created the heavens and the earth, 02:57 and filled them with plants, and trees, and animals, 03:00 He decided that something was missing. 03:02 You know what that was? 03:04 God wanted someone who He could talk to, 03:07 someone who could think and understand and talk to Him. 03:10 So on the sixth day of creation, 03:12 God created a man and a woman in His image, 03:16 after His likeness. 03:18 "God said, 'Let us make man in our image, 03:21 in our likeness.'" 03:22 Genesis 1:26. 03:24 God said let us make Man in our image 03:28 In our image In our image 03:32 God said let us make Man in our image 03:36 In our likeness 03:40 God said let us make Man in our image 03:44 In our image In our image 03:48 God said let us make Man in our image 03:52 In our likeness 03:56 God said let us make Man in our image 04:01 In our image In our image 04:05 God said let us make Man in our image 04:09 In our likeness 04:13 God said let us make Man in our image 04:17 In our image In our image 04:21 God said let us make Man in our image 04:25 In our likeness 04:42 On the seventh day of creation, 04:43 God looked at all that He had made 04:45 and He was very happy. 04:47 And God rested from His work. 04:49 Do you think He was tired? 04:50 I don't think so. 04:52 The Bible also says that God blessed 04:54 the seventh day and made it holy. 04:57 Many years later, 04:59 when God gave the children of Israel the Ten Commandments, 05:02 He reminded them that the Sabbath 05:04 as the seventh day was called, 05:06 was holy, a day to worship Him. 05:10 "Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy. 05:13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 05:17 but the seventh day 05:19 is the Sabbath of the Lord your God." 05:22 Exodus 20:8-10. 05:26 Remember the Sabbath 05:31 To keep it holy 05:35 Remember the Sabbath 05:39 To keep it holy 05:44 Six days you shall labor 05:48 And do all your work 05:52 But the seventh day Is the Sabbath 05:56 Of the Lord your God 06:01 Remember the Sabbath 06:05 To keep it holy 06:09 Remember the Sabbath 06:13 To keep it holy 06:22 Remember the Sabbath 06:26 To keep it holy 06:30 Remember the Sabbath 06:35 To keep it holy 06:39 Six days you shall labor 06:43 And do all your work 06:47 But the seventh day Is the Sabbath 06:51 Of the Lord your God 06:56 Remember the Sabbath 07:00 To keep it holy 07:04 Remember the Sabbath 07:09 To keep it holy 07:24 Adam and Eve were perfect when they were created. 07:27 But Satan tempted them and they chose to disobey God. 07:31 That was the beginning of sin. 07:32 But God already had a plan to save us from sin. 07:36 Jesus would leave heaven, live on earth as a man, 07:39 died to save us and rise again. 07:41 It must have been very hard 07:43 for God to watch His son Jesus suffer and die. 07:47 But He did it because He loves you so much. 07:51 "God so loved the world 07:53 that He gave His one and only Son. 07:55 That whoever believes in Him shall not perish 07:58 but have eternal life." 07:59 John 3:16. 08:01 God so loved the world 08:06 That He gave His one and only Son 08:12 God so loved the world 08:17 That He gave His one and only Son 08:23 That whoever believes in Him 08:26 Shall not perish but have eternal life 08:34 Whoever believes in Him 08:37 Shall not perish but have eternal life 08:44 God so loved the world 08:50 That He gave His one and only Son 08:55 God so loved the world 09:01 That He gave His one and only Son 09:06 That whoever believes in Him 09:09 Shall not perish but have eternal life 09:17 Whoever believes in Him 09:20 Shall not perish but have eternal life. 09:41 Would your mother be pleased, 09:43 if she asked you to clean up the kitchen after dinner 09:45 and you decided your bedroom needed to be clean, 09:48 so you cleaned it instead. 09:50 She would probably be happy that your bedroom was cleaned. 09:53 But she wouldn't be happy that you disobeyed her. 09:57 God asked Cain and Abel to sacrifice a lamb to Him. 10:01 But Cain decided to offer fruit instead. 10:04 God wasn't pleased with Cain's offering 10:07 because it wasn't what He had asked for. 10:10 It's important to obey God and do what He wants us to do 10:15 and not what we want to do. 10:18 "By faith Abel offered God 10:20 a better sacrifice than Cain did. 10:23 By faith he was commended as a righteous man, 10:25 when God spoke well of his offerings." 10:27 Hebrews 11:4. 10:30 By faith Abel offered God 10:35 A better sacrifice than Cain did 10:40 By faith Abel offered God 10:44 A better sacrifice than Cain did 10:49 By faith he was commended 10:54 As a righteous man 10:59 When God spoke well 11:01 When God spoke well of his offerings 11:08 By faith Abel offered God 11:13 A better sacrifice than Cain did 11:18 By faith Abel offered God 11:23 A better sacrifice than Cain did 11:28 By faith he was commended 11:32 As a righteous man 11:37 When God spoke well 11:40 When God spoke well of his offerings 11:57 Sometimes it takes a lot of faith to obey God. 12:00 Imagine that you are Noah 12:02 and you've never seen rain before. 12:05 Now, 12:06 imagine that God asked you to build an ark 12:09 to save you from a flood, 12:11 what do you think you would do? 12:14 Noah had lot of faith in God 12:16 and obeyed God, 12:18 even though people made fun of him. 12:20 Sometimes you may be made fun of, 12:22 when you choose to obey God. 12:24 But have faith in Him, 12:26 and He will save you just like He saved Noah 12:29 and his family. 12:31 "By faith Noah built an ark to save his family. 12:35 By his faith he condemned the world 12:38 and became heir of the righteousness 12:39 that comes by faith." 12:41 Hebrews 11:7. 12:43 By faith Noah built an ark 12:48 By faith Noah built an ark 12:52 By faith 12:54 Noah built an ark to save his family 13:01 By his faith he condemned the world 13:05 And became heir of the righteousness 13:09 That comes, 13:12 That comes by faith 13:19 By faith Noah built an ark 13:24 By faith Noah built an ark 13:28 By faith 13:30 Noah built an ark to save his family 13:37 By faith Noah built an ark 13:42 By faith Noah built an ark 13:46 By faith 13:49 Noah built an ark to save his family 13:55 By his faith he condemned the world 13:59 And became heir of the righteousness 14:04 That comes, 14:06 That comes by faith 14:13 By faith Noah built an ark 14:18 By faith Noah built an ark 14:22 By faith 14:25 Noah built an ark to save his family 14:42 Have you ever seen a beautiful rainbow in the sky 14:45 after rainstorm? 14:47 Do you when the first rainbow appeared? 14:49 After the very first rainstorm. 14:52 When Noah and his family came out of the ark, 14:54 God put a rainbow in the sky as a sign 14:57 that He would never destroy the earth with the flood again. 15:02 So the next time you see a rainbow, 15:04 remember that it's a promise from God. 15:09 "I have set my rainbow in the clouds, 15:11 and it will be the sign of the covenant 15:14 between me and the earth." 15:16 Genesis 9:13. 15:19 I have set 15:21 My rainbow in the clouds 15:27 I have set 15:30 My rainbow in the clouds 15:37 And it will be the sign 15:42 Of the covenant 15:46 Between 15:49 Me and the earth 15:54 I have set 15:57 My rainbow in the clouds 16:03 I have set 16:06 My rainbow in the clouds 16:13 And it will be the sign 16:18 Of the covenant 16:22 Between 16:25 Me and the earth 16:39 Do you have a special friend who loves you so much 16:42 that you know you could always count on him? 16:45 Someone who is always willing to listen 16:47 when you need someone to talk to, 16:49 and always quick to forgive you 16:51 when you've done something to hurt them? 16:53 You're happy when you're around them, 16:55 aren't you? 16:56 That's the way David felt about God. 16:59 Listen to what he said in Psalm 13. 17:03 "I trust in your unfailing love, 17:05 my heart rejoices in your salvation." 17:08 Psalm 13:5. 17:10 I trust in your unfailing love 17:15 I trust in your unfailing love 17:19 My heart rejoices in your salvation 17:23 I trust in your unfailing love 17:28 I trust in your unfailing love 17:32 I trust in your unfailing love 17:37 My heart rejoices in your salvation 17:41 I trust in your unfailing love 17:45 I trust in your unfailing love 17:50 I trust in your unfailing love 17:54 My heart rejoices in your salvation 17:58 I trust in your unfailing love 18:12 The Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Christians in Rome. 18:15 In his letter, he wrote about many things, 18:17 one of the things he told them 18:19 was how they would treat each other as Christians. 18:21 He said, 18:22 "They should love each other 18:24 as they love their own families, 18:25 and honor others above themselves." 18:28 There is another verse in the Bible 18:29 where Jesus told His disciples 18:31 that the way others would know 18:32 they were His followers was by their love. 18:35 I want others to see Jesus' love in me. 18:38 How about you? 18:40 "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. 18:45 Honor one another above yourselves." 18:48 Romans 12:10. 18:51 Be devoted to one another 18:56 In brotherly love 19:01 Honor one another 19:05 Above yourselves 19:10 Be devoted to one another 19:15 In brotherly love 19:20 Be devoted to one another 19:24 In brotherly love 19:29 Be devoted to one another 19:34 In brotherly love 19:39 Be devoted to one another 19:44 In brotherly love 19:49 Honor one another 19:53 Above yourselves. 20:06 Have you ever taken vegetables to church for an offering? 20:10 Probably not. 20:11 The children of Israel did though. 20:13 Did you know that God told them to give one-tenth 20:16 of all the food they grew 20:18 and one-tenth of all their flocks and herds 20:21 to Him as a tithe? 20:23 That means that out of every 10 baskets 20:26 of food they grew, 20:27 they gave one to God, 20:29 and out of every 10 cows or sheep they raised, 20:33 they gave one to Him. 20:35 These were holy to the Lord. 20:38 Today, we give our money as a tithe to God 20:41 to help pay the ministers who teaches about Him. 20:45 God has promised 20:46 that if we're faithful in giving Him a tithe, 20:49 He will bless us. 20:52 "A tithe of everything from the land 20:54 belongs to the Lord, 20:56 it is holy to the Lord." 20:58 Leviticus 27:30. 21:00 A tithe of everything From the land 21:04 Belongs to the Lord It is holy to the Lord 21:09 A tithe of everything From the land 21:13 Belongs to the Lord 21:17 A tithe of everything From the land 21:21 Belongs to the Lord It is holy to the Lord 21:25 A tithe of everything From the land 21:29 Belongs to the Lord 21:33 A tithe of everything From the land 21:37 Belongs to the Lord It is holy to the Lord 21:42 A tithe of everything From the land 21:46 Belongs to the Lord 21:58 One day as Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, 22:01 talking to His disciples. 22:03 He was telling them how it would be 22:04 when He comes back to take us to heaven. 22:07 He said, "There would be two groups of people 22:09 when He comes again, 22:10 those who've been kind to His children, 22:12 and those who haven't. 22:14 Those who have fed the hungry 22:16 and given a drink to the thirsty in Jesus name 22:19 will be welcomed into heaven, 22:21 those who haven't won't. 22:24 This doesn't mean we must do kind things 22:27 to earn eternal life. 22:28 It means, we need to allow Jesus 22:31 to fill us with His love, 22:33 and He will give us the desire to be kind to His children. 22:38 "Then the King will say to those on His right, 22:41 'Come you who are blessed by my Father. 22:43 I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, 22:45 I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.'" 22:48 Matthew 25:34. 22:51 Then the King will say to those on His right 22:56 Come you who are blessed by my Father 23:02 I was hungry and you gave me something to eat 23:08 I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink 23:14 Come you who are blessed by my father 23:25 Then the King will say to those on His right 23:31 Come you who are blessed by my Father 23:36 I was hungry and you gave me something to eat 23:42 I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink 23:48 Come you who are blessed by my Father 24:07 Have you ever watched a mother with a very small child? 24:11 Maybe you have a baby brother or sister at your house, 24:15 the mother has to watch the baby carefully, 24:17 so it doesn't get hurt. 24:19 When the baby takes a nap, mother is listening carefully. 24:24 During the night, 24:25 mother wakes up when the baby cries. 24:28 God is very much like our mothers. 24:31 The Bible says that His eyes are on His children, 24:35 and He listens carefully to our prayers. 24:39 "The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous 24:42 and His ears are attentive to their prayer." 24:45 1 Peter 3:12. 24:48 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous 24:56 And His ears are attentive to their prayer 25:03 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous 25:11 And His ears are attentive to their prayer 25:18 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous 25:26 And His ears are attentive to their prayer 25:33 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous 25:41 And His ears are attentive to their prayer 25:48 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous 25:56 And His ears are attentive to their prayer 26:03 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous 26:11 And His ears are attentive to their prayer 26:28 We already talked about how God was not pleased 26:30 with Cain's offering a fruit. 26:32 There was a reason why God asked him 26:34 to sacrifice a lamb. 26:35 Every time they sacrifice the lamb, 26:38 they were to be reminded of Jesus, 26:40 who has to die 26:41 just like their lamb to save them from their sins. 26:45 Jesus came to where John the Baptist 26:47 was preaching one day. 26:49 John the Baptist told those who were there 26:51 that Jesus was the Lamb of God. 26:54 We don't sacrifice lambs anymore 26:56 because Jesus the Lamb of God 26:59 has already died and saved us from our sins. 27:03 "Look, the Lamb of God, 27:06 who takes away the sin of the world." 27:08 John 1:29. 27:10 Look, look, the Lamb of God 27:15 Who takes away The sin of the world 27:20 Look, look, the Lamb of God 27:24 Who takes away The sin of the world 27:29 Look, look, the Lamb of God 27:34 Who takes away The sin of the world 27:39 Look, look, the Lamb of God 27:43 Who takes away The sin of the world 27:49 Look, look, the Lamb of God 27:53 Who takes away The sin of the world 27:58 Look, look, the Lamb of God 28:02 Who takes away The sin of the world |
