Has anyone ever
told you something
00:01:05.69\00:01:07.50
that you didn't
think you should believe?
00:01:07.53\00:01:10.00
Sometimes our friends
tell us what we should do
00:01:10.03\00:01:12.40
or the TV says
something is cool.
00:01:12.43\00:01:14.94
But are they telling the truth?
00:01:14.97\00:01:17.34
There's one
person you can be sure
00:01:17.37\00:01:19.17
will always tell you the truth.
00:01:19.21\00:01:21.44
Listen to this promise
from the Book of Psalms.
00:01:21.48\00:01:24.61
"I will instruct
you and teach you
00:01:24.65\00:01:26.95
in the way you should go."
00:01:26.98\00:01:28.42
Psalm 32:8.
00:01:28.45\00:01:30.52
I will instruct you
00:01:30.55\00:01:34.49
I will instruct
you And teach you
00:01:34.52\00:01:40.00
And teach you In
the way you should go
00:01:40.03\00:01:46.57
I will instruct
you I will instruct you
00:01:46.60\00:01:54.01
And teach you, and teach you
00:01:54.04\00:01:57.65
In the way you should go
00:01:57.68\00:02:02.68
I will instruct
you I will instruct you
00:02:02.72\00:02:10.23
And teach you, and teach you

00:02:13.70\00:02:18.57

00:02:42.09\00:02:45.63
In the way you should go
00:02:45.66\00:02:50.57
Do you like your name?
00:03:01.08\00:03:02.94
Do you know how your
parents choose your name?
00:03:02.98\00:03:05.78
As a parent, I know that
they probably spend hours
00:03:05.81\00:03:09.45
looking through
books filled with names,
00:03:09.48\00:03:12.02
reading the meaning of the name,
00:03:12.05\00:03:13.59
and repeating it over and over
00:03:13.62\00:03:15.79
to see if they
like the way it sounded.
00:03:15.82\00:03:18.56
Mary and Joseph
didn't have to do that
00:03:18.59\00:03:20.43
before baby Jesus was born.
00:03:20.46\00:03:22.96
They had help from an angel.
00:03:23.00\00:03:25.67
Here is what the angel said.
00:03:25.70\00:03:28.47
"You are to give
Him the name Jesus
00:03:28.50\00:03:30.57
because He will save
His people from their sins."
00:03:30.61\00:03:33.27
Matthew 1:21.
00:03:33.31\00:03:35.64
You are to give
Him the name Jesus
00:03:35.68\00:03:42.25
Because He will save His people
00:03:42.28\00:03:46.92
From their sins
00:03:46.96\00:03:49.99
You are to give
Him the name Jesus
00:03:50.03\00:03:56.67
Because He will save
00:03:56.70\00:04:00.40
His people from their sins
00:04:00.44\00:04:05.61
You are to give
Him the name Jesus
00:04:08.08\00:04:14.68
Because He will save
00:04:14.72\00:04:18.42
His people from their sins
00:04:18.45\00:04:22.49
You are to give
Him the name Jesus
00:04:22.52\00:04:29.13
Because He will save
00:04:29.16\00:04:32.83
His people from their sins
00:04:32.87\00:04:37.87
You are to give
Him the name Jesus
00:04:40.64\00:04:47.15
Because He will save
00:04:47.18\00:04:50.92
His people from their sins
00:04:50.95\00:04:55.02
You are to give
Him the name Jesus
00:04:55.06\00:05:01.56
Because He will save
00:05:01.60\00:05:05.27
His people from their sins
00:05:05.30\00:05:10.94
Imagine for a minute
00:05:26.12\00:05:27.46
that you're part
of the angel choir
00:05:27.49\00:05:29.22
on the night of Jesus' birth.
00:05:29.26\00:05:31.33
Can you the feel the excitement
that the angels must have felt?
00:05:31.36\00:05:34.56
Ever since Adam and Eve sinned,
00:05:34.60\00:05:36.70
God's people had been waiting
for Jesus the Messiah to come.
00:05:36.73\00:05:40.64
That night above
the city of Bethlehem,
00:05:40.67\00:05:42.87
the angels
announced the birth of a baby
00:05:42.90\00:05:45.31
who would change
the world forever.
00:05:45.34\00:05:48.31
"Glory to God in the highest,
00:05:48.34\00:05:50.01
and on earth peace to
men on whom His favor rests."
00:05:50.05\00:05:53.25
Luke 2:14.
00:05:53.28\00:05:54.95
Glory to God, glory to God
00:05:54.98\00:05:58.55
Glory to God in the highest
00:05:58.59\00:06:01.86
And on earth peace to men
00:06:01.89\00:06:05.49
On whom His favor rests
00:06:05.53\00:06:07.76
Glory to God, glory to God
00:06:07.80\00:06:11.33
Glory to God in the highest
00:06:11.37\00:06:14.67
And on earth peace to men
00:06:14.70\00:06:18.24
On whom His favor rests
00:06:18.27\00:06:22.24
Glory to God, glory to God
00:06:22.28\00:06:25.95
Glory to God in the highest
00:06:25.98\00:06:29.18
And on earth peace to men
00:06:29.22\00:06:32.82
On whom His favor rests
00:06:32.85\00:06:36.83
Glory to God, glory to God
00:06:36.86\00:06:40.50
Glory to God in the highest
00:06:40.53\00:06:43.87
And on earth peace to men
00:06:43.90\00:06:47.50
On whom His favor rests
00:06:47.54\00:06:51.54
Glory to God, glory to God
00:06:51.57\00:06:55.01
Glory to God in the highest
00:06:55.04\00:06:58.31
And on earth peace to men
00:06:58.35\00:07:01.98
On whom His favor rests
00:07:02.02\00:07:05.65
If you're like me,
you'll lose things sometimes
00:07:17.60\00:07:20.17
and you search
everywhere to find them.
00:07:20.20\00:07:22.77
Have you ever discovered
that what you were looking for
00:07:22.80\00:07:25.14
was in your pocket
or very close to you
00:07:25.17\00:07:27.98
and you just didn't see it?
00:07:28.01\00:07:30.15
I think that's how it
is with God sometimes.
00:07:30.18\00:07:33.11
He's always nearby.
00:07:33.15\00:07:34.48
But sometimes,
we forget He's there
00:07:34.52\00:07:36.69
because we can't see Him.
00:07:36.72\00:07:39.02
He has promised
that if we seek Him,
00:07:39.05\00:07:41.49
we will find Him.
00:07:41.52\00:07:43.89
"You will seek Me and find Me,
00:07:43.93\00:07:46.09
when you seek Me
with all your heart."
00:07:46.13\00:07:48.00
Jeremiah 29:13.
00:07:48.03\00:07:50.23
You will seek Me and find Me
00:07:50.27\00:07:57.34
When you seek Me
00:07:57.37\00:07:59.47
With all your heart
00:07:59.51\00:08:04.65
You will seek Me and find Me
00:08:04.68\00:08:11.69
When you seek Me
00:08:11.72\00:08:13.82
With all your heart
00:08:13.86\00:08:18.83
You will seek Me
00:08:18.86\00:08:22.76
And find Me
00:08:22.80\00:08:26.13
When you seek Me
00:08:26.17\00:08:28.14
With all your heart
00:08:28.17\00:08:33.17
You will seek Me
00:08:33.21\00:08:37.21
And find Me
00:08:37.25\00:08:40.62
When you seek Me
00:08:40.65\00:08:42.52
With all your heart
00:08:42.55\00:08:47.56
You will seek Me
00:08:47.59\00:08:51.53
And find Me
00:08:51.56\00:08:54.90
When you seek Me
00:08:54.93\00:08:56.93
With all your heart
00:08:56.97\00:09:02.00
You will seek Me
00:09:02.04\00:09:05.87
And find Me
00:09:05.91\00:09:09.24
When you seek Me
with all your heart
00:09:09.28\00:09:15.82
The Bible tells us that
Jesus grew in three ways.
00:09:24.39\00:09:27.83
He grew in wisdom,
00:09:27.86\00:09:29.20
which means He knew
how to make good choices.
00:09:29.23\00:09:31.33
He grew in stature,
00:09:31.37\00:09:32.70
which means that He grew taller.
00:09:32.73\00:09:34.94
And He grew in
favor with God and men,
00:09:34.97\00:09:37.54
which means that He
lived His life in a way
00:09:37.57\00:09:39.67
that He made God and
people around Him happy.
00:09:39.71\00:09:43.24
Are you growing
in these ways too?
00:09:43.28\00:09:46.08
We grow in stature
without doing anything special.
00:09:46.11\00:09:49.22
But what about growing in wisdom
00:09:49.25\00:09:51.29
and in favor with God and men?
00:09:51.32\00:09:54.36
If you want to grow to be wise
and make God and others happy,
00:09:54.39\00:09:58.89
why don't you ask Jesus to
help you grow like He grew?
00:09:58.93\00:10:03.80
"Jesus grew in
wisdom and stature
00:10:03.83\00:10:06.00
and in favor with God and men."
00:10:06.03\00:10:08.10
Luke 2:52.
00:10:08.14\00:10:10.21
Jesus grew in wisdom and stature
00:10:10.24\00:10:13.94
And in favor with God and men
00:10:13.98\00:10:18.71
Jesus grew in wisdom and stature
00:10:18.75\00:10:22.55
And in favor with God and men
00:10:22.58\00:10:27.29
Jesus grew in wisdom and stature
00:10:27.32\00:10:31.19
And in favor with God and men
00:10:31.23\00:10:35.93
Jesus grew in wisdom and stature
00:10:35.96\00:10:39.77
And in favor with God and men
00:10:39.80\00:10:44.54
Jesus grew in wisdom and stature
00:10:44.57\00:10:48.34
And in favor with God and men
00:10:48.38\00:10:53.11
Jesus grew in wisdom and stature
00:10:53.15\00:10:56.85
And in favor with God and men
00:10:56.89\00:11:01.62
Jesus grew in wisdom and stature
00:11:01.66\00:11:05.39
And in favor with God and men
00:11:05.43\00:11:10.20
Jesus grew in wisdom and stature
00:11:10.23\00:11:13.97
And in favor with God and men
00:11:14.00\00:11:18.54
In favor with God and men
00:11:18.57\00:11:22.41
Have you ever
heard some good news
00:11:32.82\00:11:34.32
that sounded
too good to be true?
00:11:34.36\00:11:36.69
The good news that
Jesus loves you and died
00:11:36.73\00:11:38.89
so that you can
live with Him forever
00:11:38.93\00:11:40.80
may seem too good to be true?
00:11:40.83\00:11:42.76
But it is true.
00:11:42.80\00:11:44.13
And God wants you to believe it.
00:11:44.17\00:11:46.00
Do you know what he's
promised to those who believe?
00:11:46.03\00:11:49.40
"Whoever believes and
is baptized will be saved."
00:11:49.44\00:11:52.57
Mark 16:16.
00:11:52.61\00:11:54.68
Whoever believes
00:11:54.71\00:11:58.75
Whoever
believes Whoever believes
00:11:58.78\00:12:06.12
And is baptized will be saved
00:12:06.15\00:12:10.73
Whoever
believes, whoever believes
00:12:10.76\00:12:18.60
Whoever believes
00:12:18.63\00:12:22.14
And is baptized will be saved
00:12:22.17\00:12:26.78
Whoever
believes, whoever believes
00:12:26.81\00:12:34.52
Whoever believes
00:12:34.55\00:12:38.12
And is baptized will be saved
00:12:38.15\00:12:42.86
Whoever
believes, whoever believes
00:12:42.89\00:12:50.43
Whoever believes
00:12:50.47\00:12:54.17
And is baptized will be saved
00:12:54.20\00:12:59.07
Have you ever been
tempted to do something
00:13:12.39\00:13:14.19
that you knew you shouldn't do?
00:13:14.22\00:13:16.32
I think we all have been.
00:13:16.36\00:13:18.46
There's a story in Matthew 4
00:13:18.49\00:13:21.43
about a time when
Jesus didn't eat for 40 days,
00:13:21.46\00:13:24.67
for 40 nights and
He was very hungry.
00:13:24.70\00:13:27.84
Satan tried to tempt Jesus
to turn some stones into bread
00:13:27.87\00:13:31.34
to prove that He
was the Son of God.
00:13:31.37\00:13:34.51
Do you think that was a
big temptation for Jesus?
00:13:34.54\00:13:37.45
I think so.
00:13:37.48\00:13:39.01
But Jesus knew that pleasing God
00:13:39.05\00:13:41.35
was more important
than satisfying His hungry.
00:13:41.38\00:13:44.65
He overcame
temptation by telling Satan,
00:13:44.69\00:13:47.56
what the Bible said.
00:13:47.59\00:13:49.89
"'It is written,
00:13:49.92\00:13:51.26
'Man does not
live on bread alone,
00:13:51.29\00:13:53.23
but on every word that
comes from the mouth of God.'"
00:13:53.26\00:13:56.46
Matthew 4:4.
00:13:56.50\00:13:59.27
It is written
00:13:59.30\00:14:01.34
Man does not live on bread alone
00:14:01.37\00:14:08.08
But on every word
00:14:08.11\00:14:10.88
That comes from the mouth of God
00:14:10.91\00:14:16.95
It is written
00:14:16.99\00:14:19.15
Man does not live on bread alone
00:14:19.19\00:14:25.86
But on every word
00:14:25.89\00:14:28.63
That comes from the mouth of God
00:14:28.66\00:14:36.44
Thou shall not steal.
00:14:36.47\00:14:39.97
Go ahead, take it.
00:14:40.01\00:14:42.88
She'll never miss it.
00:14:42.91\00:14:44.25
Do unto others
what you'd have them
00:14:47.25\00:14:48.78
do unto you.
00:14:48.82\00:14:52.52
It is written
00:14:52.55\00:14:54.62
Man does not live on bread alone
00:14:54.72\00:15:01.36
But on every word that
comes from the mouth of God
00:15:01.40\00:15:09.14
One day, when
Jesus and His disciples
00:15:18.85\00:15:20.98
were at a wedding feast,
00:15:21.02\00:15:22.75
Mary came to Jesus and told him
00:15:22.78\00:15:24.92
that there was
no more grape juice
00:15:24.95\00:15:26.62
to serve the guests.
00:15:26.65\00:15:28.52
This would be
embarrassing to those
00:15:28.56\00:15:30.73
who had planned the feast.
00:15:30.76\00:15:32.89
Mary told the servants to
do whatever Jesus told them to.
00:15:32.93\00:15:36.87
The servants filled
six large jars with water
00:15:36.90\00:15:40.40
as Jesus told them to.
00:15:40.44\00:15:42.37
But when they
dipped the water out
00:15:42.40\00:15:44.01
to serve the guests,
00:15:44.04\00:15:45.37
it wasn't water anymore,
00:15:45.41\00:15:47.44
it was the best grape
juice they had ever tasted.
00:15:47.48\00:15:51.65
Everyone was blessed that day
00:15:51.68\00:15:53.08
because the
servants obeyed Jesus.
00:15:53.11\00:15:55.62
You'll be blessed when
you do whatever He tells you.
00:15:55.65\00:16:00.32
"Do whatever He tells you."
00:16:00.36\00:16:02.19
John 2:5
00:16:02.22\00:16:04.56
Do whatever, do whatever
00:16:04.59\00:16:08.93
Do whatever He tells you
00:16:08.96\00:16:13.17
Do whatever, do whatever
00:16:13.20\00:16:17.47
Do whatever He tells you
00:16:17.51\00:16:21.74
Do whatever, do whatever
00:16:21.78\00:16:26.01
Do whatever He tells you
00:16:26.05\00:16:30.29
Do whatever, do whatever
00:16:30.32\00:16:34.56
Do whatever He tells you
00:16:34.59\00:16:38.89
Do whatever, do whatever
00:16:38.93\00:16:43.23
Do whatever He tells you
00:16:43.26\00:16:47.54
Do whatever, do whatever
00:16:47.57\00:16:51.84
Do whatever He tells you
00:16:51.87\00:16:56.08
Do whatever, do whatever
00:16:56.11\00:17:00.42
Do whatever He tells you
00:17:00.45\00:17:04.62
Do whatever, do whatever
00:17:04.65\00:17:08.92
Do whatever He tells you
00:17:08.96\00:17:13.36
Do whatever He tells you
00:17:13.40\00:17:16.97
Do you know how
special you are to God?
00:17:25.47\00:17:28.01
You are so
special that He gave you
00:17:28.04\00:17:30.31
the most precious
gift He could give,
00:17:30.35\00:17:32.65
His one and only Son.
00:17:32.68\00:17:34.68
God watched as
men lied about Jesus
00:17:34.72\00:17:37.09
and as they mistreated Him
00:17:37.12\00:17:38.79
and finally put Him
to death on the cross.
00:17:38.82\00:17:41.96
It must have
been painful for God
00:17:41.99\00:17:43.73
to see His Son treated this way,
00:17:43.76\00:17:46.06
but He knew that
this was the only way
00:17:46.09\00:17:48.30
He could save you from sin.
00:17:48.33\00:17:50.87
God sure loves you a lot.
00:17:50.90\00:17:54.47
"God so loved the world
00:17:54.50\00:17:55.84
that He gave
His one and only Son
00:17:55.87\00:17:58.11
that whoever believes in Him
00:17:58.14\00:17:59.64
shall not perish
but have eternal life."
00:17:59.67\00:18:01.71
John 3:16.
00:18:01.74\00:18:03.71
God so loved the world
00:18:03.75\00:18:09.12
That He gave
His one and only Son
00:18:09.15\00:18:14.59
God so loved the world
00:18:14.62\00:18:20.00
That He gave
His one and only Son
00:18:20.03\00:18:25.43
That whoever believes in Him
00:18:25.47\00:18:28.74
Shall not perish
00:18:28.77\00:18:30.87
But have eternal life
00:18:30.91\00:18:35.98
Whoever believes in Him
00:18:36.01\00:18:39.55
Shall not perish
00:18:39.58\00:18:41.68
But have eternal life
00:18:41.72\00:18:47.16
God so loved the world
00:18:47.19\00:18:52.56
That He gave
His one and only Son
00:18:52.59\00:18:58.00
God so loved the world
00:18:58.03\00:19:03.41
That He gave
His one and only Son
00:19:03.44\00:19:08.88
That whoever believes in Him
00:19:08.91\00:19:12.25
Shall not perish
00:19:12.28\00:19:14.28
But have eternal life
00:19:14.32\00:19:19.79
Whoever believes in Him
00:19:19.82\00:19:23.06
Shall not perish
00:19:23.09\00:19:25.16
But have eternal life
00:19:25.19\00:19:30.83
Sometimes I wish I
could read someone's mind
00:19:43.35\00:19:45.91
but I can't.
00:19:45.95\00:19:47.28
God can though.
00:19:47.32\00:19:48.65
He knows what we need
even before we tell Him.
00:19:48.68\00:19:51.65
He's always ready to listen
00:19:51.69\00:19:53.02
when we need a
friend to talk to.
00:19:53.05\00:19:56.09
"Before they
call, I will answer.
00:19:56.12\00:19:58.63
While they are still
speaking, I will hear."
00:19:58.66\00:20:01.06
Isaiah 65:24.

00:21:24.98\00:21:28.72
I will hear
00:21:28.75\00:21:34.82
The Jewish leaders
00:21:49.94\00:21:51.27
often accused Jesus
of breaking the Sabbath.
00:21:51.31\00:21:54.34
When God gave Moses
the Ten Commandments,
00:21:54.38\00:21:56.38
He said that we should
not work on the Sabbath,
00:21:56.41\00:21:58.98
but the Jews had had
a lot of detailed rules
00:21:59.01\00:22:01.28
of their own.
00:22:01.32\00:22:02.72
When Jesus' disciples
00:22:02.75\00:22:04.09
picked some grain on the Sabbath
00:22:04.12\00:22:05.45
because they were hungry
00:22:05.49\00:22:06.82
and when Jesus healed
someone on the Sabbath,
00:22:06.86\00:22:09.36
the Jewish
leaders got very upset.
00:22:09.39\00:22:12.49
Jesus tried to
help them understand
00:22:12.53\00:22:14.50
that it wasn't wrong
00:22:14.53\00:22:15.86
to be helpful and
kind on the Sabbath.
00:22:15.90\00:22:18.27
Here is what He said.
00:22:18.30\00:22:20.40
"Therefore it is lawful
to do good on the Sabbath."
00:22:20.44\00:22:23.10
Matthew 12:12
00:22:23.14\00:22:25.17
Therefore it is
lawful to do good
00:22:25.21\00:22:28.91
On the Sabbath On the Sabbath
00:22:28.94\00:22:33.72
Therefore it is
lawful to do good
00:22:33.75\00:22:37.52
On the Sabbath On the Sabbath
00:22:37.55\00:22:42.32

00:22:46.16\00:22:50.97

On the Sabbath On the Sabbath
00:23:46.15\00:23:50.53
Our next verse uses a
word that you may not know,
00:23:59.00\00:24:02.30
the word is summoned.
00:24:02.34\00:24:04.47
Have you ever been summoned?
00:24:04.51\00:24:06.44
Sure you have.
00:24:06.47\00:24:07.81
When your Mom or Dad
says, "Gerald, come here"
00:24:07.84\00:24:10.68
or "Sarah, I need
you," they're summoning you.
00:24:10.71\00:24:15.18
It just means to call someone.
00:24:15.22\00:24:17.49
Jesus has called you
and me to follow Him,
00:24:17.52\00:24:20.59
and He reminds
us that we are His.
00:24:20.62\00:24:23.76
We belong to Him
00:24:23.79\00:24:25.13
because He created
us and died to save us.
00:24:25.16\00:24:28.20
But He loves us so much
00:24:28.23\00:24:29.66
that he lets us
choose to follow Him.
00:24:29.70\00:24:32.10
He's calling you.
00:24:32.13\00:24:33.50
Will you choose to follow?
00:24:33.54\00:24:36.07
"I have summoned you
by name, you are mine."
00:24:36.10\00:24:40.41
Isaiah 43:1.
00:24:40.44\00:24:43.18
I have summoned you by name
00:24:43.21\00:24:47.45
You are mine You are mine
00:24:47.48\00:24:51.79
I have summoned you by name
00:24:51.82\00:24:55.99
You are mine
00:24:56.02\00:25:00.40
I have summoned you by name
00:25:00.43\00:25:04.63
You are mine You are mine
00:25:04.67\00:25:08.94
I have summoned you by name
00:25:08.97\00:25:13.14
You are mine
00:25:13.17\00:25:17.48
I have summoned you by name
00:25:17.51\00:25:21.82
You are mine You are mine
00:25:21.85\00:25:26.12
I have summoned you by name
00:25:26.15\00:25:30.36
You are mine
00:25:30.39\00:25:34.76
I have summoned you by name
00:25:34.80\00:25:39.00
You are mine You are mine
00:25:39.03\00:25:43.30
I have summoned you by name
00:25:43.34\00:25:47.61
You are mine You are mine
00:25:47.64\00:25:55.35
Do your friends
and family forgive you
00:26:08.16\00:26:10.00
when you do something
to hurt their feelings?
00:26:10.03\00:26:12.33
I hope so.
00:26:12.37\00:26:13.84
It's important for us
to ask others to forgive us
00:26:13.87\00:26:16.50
when we've hurt them.
00:26:16.54\00:26:17.91
But we also need to remember
to ask God to forgive us.
00:26:17.94\00:26:21.88
Whenever we hurt
one of His children,
00:26:21.91\00:26:24.15
we also hurt God.
00:26:24.18\00:26:26.58
Others can forgive us,
00:26:26.61\00:26:27.95
but God is the only
one who can erase our sins
00:26:27.98\00:26:30.65
in the record books of heaven.
00:26:30.69\00:26:32.59
That's what this verse
is talking about, listen.
00:26:32.62\00:26:36.39
"Who can forgive
sins but God alone?"
00:26:36.42\00:26:39.86
Mark 2:7
00:26:39.89\00:26:41.70
Who can forgive
sins Who can forgive sins
00:26:41.73\00:26:46.10
But God alone?
00:26:46.13\00:26:50.61
Who can forgive
sins Who can forgive sins
00:26:50.64\00:26:54.98
But God alone?
00:26:55.01\00:26:59.45
Who can forgive
sins Who can forgive sins
00:26:59.48\00:27:03.89
But God alone?
00:27:03.92\00:27:08.36
Who can forgive
sins Who can forgive sins
00:27:08.39\00:27:12.73

Who can forgive
sins Who can forgive sins
00:27:17.27\00:27:21.64
But God alone?

Who can forgive
sins Who can forgive sins
00:27:26.14\00:27:30.48
But God alone?
00:27:30.51\00:27:34.32
