Hey kids, it's time for Sabbath
School. So grab your Bibles and
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.20
let's go.

Hello boys and girls, welcome
back to Starting With Jesus.
00:00:30.86\00:00:34.40
(Miss Ruthie) I'm so glad you're
here with us today. We have an
00:00:34.43\00:00:37.30
an exciting program for you.
We have a really interesting
00:00:37.33\00:00:40.97
mission story during our sharing
time. And during our story with
00:00:41.00\00:00:46.47
Miss Michelle we have a story
about a party that a bunch of
00:00:46.51\00:00:51.58
people were invited to and
didn't want to go. Before we get
00:00:51.61\00:00:56.82
to those though
let's join in some singing.

Hi kids. My name's Heather. I'm
really glad to be here with you.
00:03:40.15\00:03:44.62
I hope you're having a really
good day. I have a story for you
00:03:44.65\00:03:49.52
and the story comes from the
country of South Korea. When I
00:03:49.56\00:03:55.36
was 10 years old, are any of you
10 years old? When I was 10 my
00:03:55.40\00:04:01.37
my family moved to Korea and I
lived in South Korea for a year.
00:04:01.40\00:04:06.88
I had never left America before
that, so this was a very new
00:04:06.91\00:04:12.11
experience for me. Let's look
at the globe again to see where
00:04:12.15\00:04:16.38
South Korea is. Here's America
where I was living in Tennessee
00:04:16.42\00:04:23.59
and we flew to California and
then we took a really big flight
00:04:23.63\00:04:30.30
over the Pacific Ocean over
Japan and here is South Korea.
00:04:30.33\00:04:36.34
Maybe you can ask your parents
to look up some pictures of it.
00:04:36.37\00:04:40.01
There are some very pretty
mountains and places there.
00:04:40.04\00:04:43.98
Well would you like to learn a
little bit of Korean. I'll teach
00:04:44.01\00:04:49.08
you to say Hello. You say
annyeong haseyo, annyeong haseyo
00:04:49.12\00:04:57.39
Can you say that? annyeong
haseyo. Good job. Well in Korea
00:04:57.43\00:05:05.23
my mother and my sister were
teaching English and because I
00:05:05.27\00:05:09.87
was only 10 years old I
was going to school and being a
00:05:09.90\00:05:14.48
student. I was home schooled.
So I would go to school in the
00:05:14.51\00:05:19.41
living room where one day our
teacher that teaches us Korean
00:05:19.45\00:05:24.49
came over to the house.
My mother was talking to him.
00:05:24.52\00:05:29.16
He had already taught us a
lesson in the Korean language
00:05:29.19\00:05:33.93
and now she was just serving him
I think some food and they were
00:05:33.96\00:05:38.63
talking while I was doing
my homework in the living room.
00:05:38.67\00:05:42.70
I could just barely hear what
they were talking about and I
00:05:42.74\00:05:49.54
heard that she was telling him
a familiar story. He was asking
00:05:49.58\00:05:54.32
about Jesus. Who is Jesus? He
wasn't raised in a place where
00:05:54.35\00:05:59.82
Jesus was talked about very
much so he didn't know. She was
00:05:59.85\00:06:04.59
telling him the story of Jesus
and how he came because he loved
00:06:04.63\00:06:09.96
us because God so loved the
world he gave his only Son that
00:06:10.00\00:06:15.20
whoever believes in him will not
die but have everlasting life.
00:06:15.24\00:06:20.58
And she told the story of how
Jesus died on the cross for us
00:06:20.61\00:06:26.31
so that we can live. I had heard
this story my whole life but I
00:06:26.35\00:06:32.65
was hearing it with new ears.
It was as if I had never heard
00:06:32.69\00:06:37.19
it before and it touched
my heart. And after our Korean
00:06:37.23\00:06:42.66
teacher left she came in to
check on me as I was doing my
00:06:42.70\00:06:46.47
school work and I had tears in
my eyes because they were happy
00:06:46.50\00:06:52.24
tears because I realized what
Jesus had done for me and I gave
00:06:52.27\00:06:56.28
my heart to Jesus at that time.
It has been a very nice journey
00:06:56.31\00:07:01.32
of learning to grow and learn
more about Jesus my whole life.
00:07:01.35\00:07:05.19
But I'm so glad for that
experience in South Korea.
00:07:05.22\00:07:09.26
And the lesson we can take
from this story is that when we
00:07:09.29\00:07:14.56
choose to reach out to other
people and help them know more
00:07:14.60\00:07:18.53
about Jesus, you know what
happens? We learn more about
00:07:18.57\00:07:22.90
Jesus. When we seek to bring
other people closer to Jesus
00:07:22.94\00:07:27.98
we become closer to Jesus
ourselves and he's able to teach
00:07:28.01\00:07:32.81
us more about himself. I hope
you will take every opportunity
00:07:32.85\00:07:37.95
you have to reach out to other
people and help them know about
00:07:37.99\00:07:41.86
the story of Jesus because then
Jesus will be able to do a work
00:07:41.89\00:07:46.16
in your own heart
that will be very special.

Miss Michelle blowing up a
balloon and stretching crepe
00:07:56.74\00:07:59.51
paper streamer. Let's the
balloon go and it deflates. She
00:07:59.54\00:08:02.74
says, Oh, man. Oh, I um. Oh hey,
I was just trying to get ready
00:08:02.78\00:08:09.62
for my son's two-year-old
birthday party. I can't believe
00:08:09.65\00:08:13.66
he's two already. How could time
have gone so quickly? Today's
00:08:13.69\00:08:18.03
lesson is called The Party That
Many People Missed. What does
00:08:18.06\00:08:24.53
that tell you?
Let's find out why.
00:08:24.57\00:08:26.03
Dear heavenly Father, we thank
you for loving us. We thank you
00:08:26.07\00:08:29.67
for planning the ultimate party,
a heavenly party, just for us.
00:08:29.70\00:08:33.91
Please help us to be ready for
that party, Lord. Help us each
00:08:33.94\00:08:37.35
day to ask you into our hearts
and to prepare us for that soon
00:08:37.38\00:08:41.82
coming day. Send you Spirit to
guide us. We thank you. In your
00:08:41.85\00:08:45.32
name we pray. Amen.
00:08:45.35\00:08:46.89
Now who doesn't love a
good party? Right? I know my son
00:08:46.92\00:08:50.96
who's almost two can say party
really well because he's so
00:08:50.99\00:08:54.36
excited for his birthday party.
And part of today's story talks
00:08:54.40\00:08:59.10
about a party. So that'll be
fun. Right? Jesus was invited
00:08:59.13\00:09:03.54
though first... Well there's
kind of two parts to the story.
00:09:03.57\00:09:05.97
First we're going to talk about
one meal and then we're going
00:09:06.01\00:09:08.84
to talk about another meal
and we're going to talk actually
00:09:08.88\00:09:11.28
about a third meal, but we'll
get there. Jesus was invited to
00:09:11.31\00:09:14.58
a Pharisee's house to eat
for Sabbath lunch. You heard it
00:09:14.62\00:09:21.16
correctly. Jesus was invited
to a Pharisee's house to eat for
00:09:21.19\00:09:24.59
Sabbath lunch. Yeah. And we're
going to jump right into the
00:09:24.63\00:09:30.40
Bible and find out why that was.
Why would Miss Michelle be so
00:09:30.43\00:09:34.24
surprised that this would happen
Any guesses? If you've been
00:09:34.27\00:09:39.24
listening along you might know
why it would be confusing for a
00:09:39.27\00:09:43.75
Pharisee to invite Jesus
over. Were Pharisees like Jesus'
00:09:43.78\00:09:46.41
biggest fans? Did they believe
that he was the Messiah come
00:09:46.45\00:09:49.88
from God? No. So why would they
go to the trouble of having warm
00:09:49.92\00:09:53.56
hospitality in inviting him
over? Hmm. Kind of seems like a
00:09:53.59\00:09:57.66
setup to me. I don't
know. I'm a little suspicious.
00:09:57.69\00:10:00.00
Now it happened [We're in Luke
14 verse 1] Now it happened as
00:10:00.03\00:10:04.87
he went into the house one
of the rulers of the Pharisees
00:10:04.90\00:10:07.70
to eat bread on Sabbath
that they watched him closely.
00:10:07.74\00:10:11.97
That's awkward. Right? Have
you ever felt like people were
00:10:12.01\00:10:15.21
watching you in church
or somewhere? Kind of feels
00:10:15.24\00:10:18.65
awkward. I know I used to think
that when I was younger and come
00:10:18.68\00:10:21.08
to find out, they weren't
watching me, but it just felt
00:10:21.12\00:10:23.25
like it. Jesus could tell
all the eyes in the room were on
00:10:23.28\00:10:26.62
him. Why? Let's keep reading.
00:10:26.65\00:10:28.26
And behold a certain
man before him had dropsy.
00:10:28.29\00:10:33.43
Now dropsy. That is not a
medical term that I was familiar
00:10:33.46\00:10:39.50
with and dropsy makes me think
of dropping things but that is
00:10:39.53\00:10:42.40
not, in fact, what it
was. Dropsy actually our lesson
00:10:42.44\00:10:49.01
explained to us that dropsy
was when part of your body like
00:10:49.04\00:10:52.85
swells up and starts to hurt.
So if you think about it kind of
00:10:52.88\00:10:56.02
being like a balloon, which
is like a horrible example, but
00:10:56.05\00:10:58.85
like you know maybe if you fell
hit your knee and your knee gets
00:10:58.89\00:11:03.83
bigger that's what swelling is.
Right? And it's our body's way
00:11:03.86\00:11:07.03
to try to fight infection and
fight whatever is hurt there.
00:11:07.06\00:11:11.20
It was really painful for
him and the Pharisees had laid a
00:11:11.23\00:11:16.40
trap. They had invited the sick
man on purpose because, well,
00:11:16.44\00:11:22.34
they wanted to see what
Jesus would do. What day was it?
00:11:22.38\00:11:25.25
That's right. It was the Sabbath
So let's see what happens.
00:11:25.28\00:11:29.08
Hmm. The plot thickens.
00:11:29.12\00:11:31.15
...a man who had dropsy.
And Jesus answering spoke to the
00:11:31.19\00:11:35.62
lawyers and the Pharisees saying
[Ah] Is it lawful to heal on the
00:11:35.66\00:11:39.83
Sabbath. But they kept silent.
00:11:39.86\00:11:43.93
They knew that doing nice things
on the Sabbath was okay to do.
00:11:43.97\00:11:47.70
They knew that the Pharisees'
laws were ridiculous. Right?
00:11:47.74\00:11:51.37
They knew in their heart of
hearts that the right thing to
00:11:51.41\00:11:53.78
do for Jesus would be to heal
that man. So asking a question
00:11:53.81\00:11:56.98
is actually like pretty good
strategy right there. Right?
00:11:57.01\00:11:59.85
And he took him and
healed him and let him go.
00:11:59.88\00:12:05.69
How uncomfortable it must have
been for that man. A room full
00:12:05.72\00:12:08.79
of important people. Right? And
this man who just didn't feel
00:12:08.82\00:12:13.80
like he fit in. But Jesus healed
him and said, You can go home
00:12:13.83\00:12:17.73
now. He had passed the test.
Right? They couldn't argue with
00:12:17.77\00:12:23.07
his logic. Is it okay to do good
on the Sabbath? Hmm. Healed him.
00:12:23.10\00:12:28.98
Silence. They had nothing.
Verses 4-6 is what we just read.
00:12:29.01\00:12:34.02
We're in Luke chapter 14. Jesus
loved all these lawyers and
00:12:34.05\00:12:39.29
Pharisees in this room even
though they were trying to get
00:12:39.32\00:12:42.19
him into trouble like right
then he still loved them and he
00:12:42.22\00:12:45.79
wanted them so badly to see the
truth of God's love and be saved
00:12:45.83\00:12:51.20
And I suppose people watching
I'm sure like you know people
00:12:51.23\00:12:55.30
watch like maybe I do sometimes.
Okay, you do? Okay. It's kind of
00:12:55.34\00:12:58.97
fun to watch people. They're
really interesting. Right? And
00:12:59.01\00:13:01.91
Jesus was watching, looking
around the room and he noticed
00:13:01.94\00:13:03.75
a couple of things. The first
thing that Jesus noticed was
00:13:03.78\00:13:06.55
that everyone selfishly when
they came into the room were
00:13:06.58\00:13:09.65
like trying to get to the best
spot at the table or in the room
00:13:09.68\00:13:13.42
and he said in his heart of
hearts, time for a parable, time
00:13:13.46\00:13:18.03
for a story to help people see
how ridiculous that is to feel
00:13:18.06\00:13:22.06
like you need to be the most
important. And that's in verse 8
00:13:22.10\00:13:25.03
When you are invited by anyone
to a wedding feast, do not sit
00:13:25.07\00:13:32.17
in the best place lest one more
honorable than you be invited by
00:13:32.21\00:13:36.41
him and he who invited you and
him comes and says to you [ah,
00:13:36.44\00:13:40.18
you need to give this place
to this man] and then you begin
00:13:40.22\00:13:43.18
with shame [and they take you]
to the lowest place. But when
00:13:43.22\00:13:47.69
you are invited go sit down at
the lowest place so that when he
00:13:47.72\00:13:50.39
who invited you comes he may
say to you, friend go up higher.
00:13:50.43\00:13:54.46
Then you will have glory in the
presence of those who sit at the
00:13:54.50\00:13:57.77
table with you. For whoever
exalts himself will be humbled
00:13:57.80\00:14:01.37
and whoever humbles
himself will be exalted.
00:14:01.40\00:14:03.51
That makes a lot of sense.
Right? Instead of trying to be
00:14:03.54\00:14:07.78
in the best place wouldn't it be
nicer if someone actually said
00:14:07.81\00:14:10.41
to you, I'd like you to be in
the best place, instead of just
00:14:10.45\00:14:13.05
assuming that that's where you
belong. Hmm. That was a pretty
00:14:13.08\00:14:16.32
direct parable wasn't it? The
other thing that he noticed was
00:14:16.35\00:14:19.15
that only important people were
invited besides the man with
00:14:19.19\00:14:23.16
dropsy who was a trap, who was
a setup. Right? Who was trying
00:14:23.19\00:14:26.56
to get Jesus to mess up so that
they could get him in trouble.
00:14:26.59\00:14:29.80
There were no poor people there,
no sick people besides the man
00:14:29.83\00:14:32.70
and no needy people. And this
really bothered Jesus too. It
00:14:32.73\00:14:37.67
made him feel
uncomfortable and so he said:
00:14:37.71\00:14:42.14
He also said to him who invited
him [we're in verse 12 now]
00:14:42.18\00:14:44.91
When you give a dinner or a
supper, do not ask your friends,
00:14:44.95\00:14:47.95
your brothers, your relatives,
nor rich neighbors lest they
00:14:47.98\00:14:51.02
also invite you back and you
be repaid. But when you give a
00:14:51.05\00:14:55.49
feast, invite the poor, the
maimed, the lame and the blind
00:14:55.52\00:14:58.89
and you will be blessed because
they cannot repay you for you
00:14:58.93\00:15:03.03
shall be repaid at the
resurrection of the just.
00:15:03.06\00:15:06.23
We call that one-upping.
So often maybe we try to do
00:15:06.27\00:15:10.77
something nice for someone and
then they feel like they have to
00:15:10.81\00:15:12.34
do something nice for us and
then back and forth and back and
00:15:12.37\00:15:14.18
forth and then we're really not
doing it to be nice. We're just
00:15:14.21\00:15:17.35
doing it to look good. And
I think that's what Jesus was
00:15:17.38\00:15:19.75
saying right there. Hmm. This is
getting really awkward. Because
00:15:19.78\00:15:24.35
he had called out two like big
things they really liked to do
00:15:24.39\00:15:27.16
that were like not appropriate
and not very kind and not very
00:15:27.19\00:15:30.13
Christ like or Christian. Right?
But one of the people there
00:15:30.16\00:15:35.70
decided to switch up the subject
Have you ever heard someone say,
00:15:35.73\00:15:38.63
So about the weather?
They're trying to change the
00:15:38.67\00:15:41.34
conversation to make it less
awkward. And he chose a great
00:15:41.37\00:15:43.97
topic. In fact, he chose to talk
about heaven. This picture is on
00:15:44.01\00:15:48.78
my dresser at home and I
just love it because it makes me
00:15:48.81\00:15:51.21
think of heaven. And I can't
wait for heaven. I hope you're
00:15:51.25\00:15:53.82
excited too. So they decided to
talk about heaven. Now the Jews
00:15:53.85\00:15:58.49
thought that they were just a
shoe-in for heaven. Right? They
00:15:58.52\00:16:01.22
were God's chosen people. They
would just get in just because.
00:16:01.26\00:16:05.96
But the Gentiles and Samaritans
would obviously not be there.
00:16:05.99\00:16:08.46
Obviously. In fact, they even
believed that they might be on
00:16:08.50\00:16:11.37
the outside looking in wishing
they were there. And so once
00:16:11.40\00:16:15.10
again, story time with Jesus.
Luke chapter 14 verses 16 and 17
00:16:15.14\00:16:20.98
says: Then he said to him a
certain man gave a great supper
00:16:21.01\00:16:25.68
and invited many and sent
his servant at suppertime to say
00:16:25.71\00:16:29.12
to those who were invited, Come
for all things are now ready.
00:16:29.15\00:16:32.59
But they all with one
accord began to make excuses.
00:16:32.62\00:16:42.06
Hope you haven't made
an excuse before. Mmm-mmm.
00:16:42.10\00:16:44.37
The first said to him, I have
bought a piece of ground [some
00:16:44.40\00:16:47.80
land] and I must go and see it.
I ask you to have me excused.
00:16:47.84\00:16:53.17
And another said, I have bought
five yoke of oxen and I am going
00:16:53.21\00:16:56.64
to test them out. I ask you to
have me excused. Still another
00:16:56.68\00:17:01.08
said [Ah] I've married a wife
and therefore I cannot come.
00:17:01.12\00:17:04.85
[Really, okay] So that servant
came and reported these things
00:17:04.89\00:17:09.39
to the master. Then the master
of the house became angry.
00:17:09.42\00:17:12.46
I would be frustrated too. He
had put a lot of effort into the
00:17:12.49\00:17:16.16
party. He'd gotten all the party
supplies. They were all set to
00:17:16.20\00:17:20.07
go and then all the people
he had invited made up these
00:17:20.10\00:17:23.20
ridiculously rude, selfish
excuses. Like you couldn't bring
00:17:23.24\00:17:27.84
your wife to the party or
the land's not going to be there
00:17:27.88\00:17:31.35
tomorrow or you have to see your
oxen this instant? They just
00:17:31.38\00:17:37.59
didn't make any sense did they?
And they were ridiculous excuses
00:17:37.62\00:17:43.16
and thus the person who planned
the party was angry and that
00:17:43.19\00:17:47.00
makes sense to me. I
would be frustrated too.
00:17:47.03\00:17:49.66
So he said to his servant, Go
out quickly into the streets and
00:17:49.70\00:17:54.07
lanes of the city and bring in
here the poor, the maimed, the
00:17:54.10\00:17:58.17
lame and the blind and the
servant said, Master it is done
00:17:58.21\00:18:01.94
as you commanded and there is
still room. Then the master said
00:18:01.98\00:18:06.92
to the servant, Go out to the
highways and hedges and compel
00:18:06.95\00:18:09.88
them to come in that my house
may be filled. For I say to you
00:18:09.92\00:18:16.09
that none of those men who are
invited shall taste my supper.
00:18:16.12\00:18:20.60
It was too late for them wasn't
it? They had made up excuses and
00:18:20.63\00:18:25.33
they no longer were going to
be able to enjoy the supper. Now
00:18:25.37\00:18:28.74
Miss Michelle said we were going
to talk about three dinners and
00:18:28.77\00:18:31.27
that's right. We talked about
the dinner that the Pharisee set
00:18:31.31\00:18:34.24
up to try to trick Jesus into
getting into trouble. We talked
00:18:34.28\00:18:37.38
about the dinner in the parable
that Jesus talked about where
00:18:37.41\00:18:40.32
people made excuses and
thus missed out. And, the third
00:18:40.35\00:18:45.22
dinner that we're going to
be talking about the marriage
00:18:45.25\00:18:47.66
supper of the Lamb. You see
the parable was symbolizing.
00:18:47.69\00:18:52.06
A parable is a story with deeper
meaning. Right? And it was
00:18:52.09\00:18:54.86
symbolizing the marriage supper
of the Lamb. When will that be?
00:18:54.90\00:18:57.57
In heaven. And Jesus has invited
each one of us, everyone in the
00:18:57.60\00:19:02.40
whole world to be there. We'll
jump to the very end of the
00:19:02.44\00:19:05.61
story. Revelation
chapter 19 verses 7-9 say:
00:19:05.64\00:19:09.58
Let us be glad and rejoice and
give him glory for the marriage
00:19:09.61\00:19:13.45
of the Lamb has come and
his wife [that's the church] has
00:19:13.48\00:19:16.99
made herself ready. And to here
it was granted to be arrayed in
00:19:17.02\00:19:20.72
fine linen, clean and bright,
for the fine linen is the
00:19:20.76\00:19:24.49
righteous acts of the saints.
Then he said to me, Write,
00:19:24.53\00:19:27.66
blessed are those who are called
to the marriage supper of the
00:19:27.70\00:19:30.13
Lamb. And he said to me, These
are the true saints of God.
00:19:30.17\00:19:35.04
Jesus wants us to be there.
Let's not make excuses. Let's
00:19:35.07\00:19:40.08
not make excuses in our lives.
Let's not make excuses to miss
00:19:40.11\00:19:45.55
out on such an important and
exciting meal. Our memory verse
00:19:45.58\00:19:52.02
says: He who humbles himself
will be exalted. Luke chapter 14
00:19:52.05\00:19:55.59
verse 11. Let's not be like
those Pharisees and priests and
00:19:55.62\00:19:59.66
lawyers of those days
who thought that they were so
00:19:59.69\00:20:02.30
important that they just
were better than everybody else.
00:20:02.33\00:20:08.17
Let's remember to humble
ourselves before God because
00:20:08.20\00:20:11.41
He will lift us up and he can't
wait to sit down with you at the
00:20:11.44\00:20:15.74
marriage supper of the Lamb.
I just can't even imagine what's
00:20:15.78\00:20:19.81
going to be on the menu. It's
making me hungry just thinking
00:20:19.85\00:20:21.92
about it. But most of all I
am hungry symbolically to spend
00:20:21.95\00:20:26.55
that time with Jesus. Aren't
you? I cannot wait. And He can't
00:20:26.59\00:20:31.53
wait either. Let's not miss out
on the party like the people in
00:20:31.56\00:20:35.46
the parable today. Let's be
there. And I can't wait to meet
00:20:35.50\00:20:39.13
each one of you from all over
the world right there. Where
00:20:39.17\00:20:42.77
shall we meet? I was thinking
maybe the tree of life. I'll see
00:20:42.80\00:20:46.21
you there and I'll see you again
next time for another adventure
00:20:46.24\00:20:49.81
in God's world.

start their day with Jesus.
My girls are almost two and four
00:21:13.94\00:21:17.57
and they love to do the
singing, repeating memory verses
00:21:17.61\00:21:20.68
and hearing short Bible and
nature stories. I want to share
00:21:20.71\00:21:24.18
this program with you for
your children. Not every morning
00:21:24.21\00:21:26.92
we'll be releasing podcasts
Sundays and Mondays all the way
00:21:26.95\00:21:30.82

Thank you, Miss Michelle, for
that story. I wouldn't want to
00:21:52.67\00:21:55.18
miss out on a party like that.
Would you? Let's always tell
00:21:55.21\00:21:58.71
Jesus yes when He invites
us to that feast that we're
00:21:58.75\00:22:03.12
going to have
00:22:03.15\00:22:04.49

00:23:54.50\00:23:56.26
It's time for our memory verse.
00:23:56.30\00:23:57.73
Let's say it together Luke 14:11
00:23:57.77\00:23:59.97
He who humbles himself
00:24:00.00\00:24:01.54
will be exalted.

When I was a little boy I loved
to play with fire. (Dr. Eric)
00:24:19.59\00:24:24.13
Maybe like some of you watching.
You love to play with fire.
00:24:24.16\00:24:28.00
Whenever we were camping there'd
be a camp fire and I'd get a
00:24:28.03\00:24:31.07
long stick and kind of poke at
the fire and maybe light the end
00:24:31.10\00:24:34.74
of the stick on fire. When I got
a little bit older my mommy and
00:24:34.77\00:24:38.21
daddy would let me light the
fire. And I'd get big sticks and
00:24:38.24\00:24:41.44
little sticks and maybe some
grass or some paper. And I put
00:24:41.48\00:24:44.55
them together very carefully and
then I'd light the fire for that
00:24:44.58\00:24:46.95
evening. Oh it was so much fun.
But my mommy and daddy always
00:24:46.98\00:24:50.62
told me, Don't play with fire.
It's dangerous. You can get
00:24:50.65\00:24:55.92
burned. Well one day as we were
camping I looked at a different
00:24:55.96\00:25:01.20
campsite and there were some
older boys lighting their camp
00:25:01.23\00:25:04.83
fire. And they got what looked
like some gasoline and put it
00:25:04.87\00:25:07.87
all over the sticks that they
were going to light for their
00:25:07.90\00:25:12.84
fire. One of them struck a match
and whoosh there was this large
00:25:12.87\00:25:17.11
flame that went up and the fire
went very quickly. Oh it was so
00:25:17.15\00:25:21.55
exciting. And I said, Hmm that
looks like playing with fire but
00:25:21.58\00:25:25.39
it sure looked like a lot of fun
So that evening when it was time
00:25:25.42\00:25:28.79
for me to light my fire I got
some of the camping gas that we
00:25:28.82\00:25:33.03
had and I dripped it on
the sticks and I built my fire
00:25:33.06\00:25:36.87
carefully and I put a little
more gas on and then I stood as
00:25:36.90\00:25:40.84
far back as I could and I struck
a match and threw it on the fire
00:25:40.87\00:25:43.71
but the match went out. So I
had to get a little closer and I
00:25:43.74\00:25:47.01
struck a match and threw it on
the fire, but the match went out
00:25:47.04\00:25:49.41
So I had to get very close and I
struck a match and I touched the
00:25:49.44\00:25:54.62
sticks that were soaked with gas
and whoosh! There was a sudden
00:25:54.65\00:25:59.95
explosion and I learned why my
mommy and daddy said, Don't play
00:25:59.99\00:26:04.06
with fire. I'm thankful I wasn't
badly burned but all of my
00:26:04.09\00:26:08.16
eyebrows and all the hair on my
head, the end of each hair was
00:26:08.20\00:26:12.63
melted. It was singed and there
was a funny little ball on the
00:26:12.67\00:26:15.84
end of every single hair.
I learned an important lesson
00:26:15.87\00:26:18.87
about never playing with fire.

finding time to spend just
especially with Jesus. So send

It's time to close our program.
And let's end with a prayer.
00:27:16.43\00:27:20.14
Our Father in heaven, thank you
so much that you love us. Thank
00:27:20.17\00:27:24.81
you so much that you have
invited us to come to that
00:27:24.84\00:27:28.98
wonderful feast that you
have prepared for us in heaven.
00:27:29.01\00:27:32.21
I pray that each one of these
children watching today will
00:27:32.25\00:27:35.62
accept that invitation and they
will give their hearts to you so
00:27:35.65\00:27:39.59
that you can come in and make
them ready for that wonderful
00:27:39.62\00:27:43.49
day when you come again. I pray
that you will cleanse us from
00:27:43.53\00:27:47.63
all our sins and help us to
be like you. Help us to be kind,
00:27:47.66\00:27:51.13
help us to be loving and help
us to start every day with you.
00:27:51.17\00:27:54.67
We love you. In
Jesus' name Amen.
00:27:54.70\00:27:57.37
Thank you for watching. Have a
blessed week and keep in touch.
