(Miss Ruthie) Hello boys and
girls. Welcome back to Starting

is going to be telling a story
00:00:41.87\00:00:45.67
about some workers in a vineyard
and Pastor Moe is going to be
00:00:45.71\00:00:51.55

Hi, we're the Flying Eagles
Pathfinder Club of Bristol,
00:05:57.59\00:06:01.76
Tennessee. There's not a lot of
us but we still want to make a
00:06:01.79\00:06:05.29
difference for other kids in the
world. Our parents got an ADRA
00:06:05.33\00:06:09.23
Kids gift catalog in the mail.
And when we saw it we knew we
00:06:09.26\00:06:13.13
wanted to help. The catalog
had a few mission projects so we
00:06:13.17\00:06:18.11
chose chickens and it
said "Can you imagine your
00:06:18.14\00:06:22.51
whole family living
00:06:22.54\00:06:23.88
on just one dollar and fifty
cents a day? You can probably
00:06:23.91\00:06:27.15
find that much change in between
your sofa cushions right now.
00:06:27.18\00:06:29.88
There are many reasons
that families must survive on so
00:06:29.92\00:06:33.86
little. But you can make things
easier by choosing this gift.
00:06:33.89\00:06:37.49
and their eggs can be sold at
the market so families have more
00:06:37.53\00:06:40.40
money for food, clothes
and other necessities." We also
00:06:40.43\00:06:46.03
chose goats and it said "Many
children live on farms and help
00:06:46.07\00:06:51.97
their parents take care of farm
animals like goats. These goats
00:06:52.01\00:06:55.91
provide milk and cheese.
The yummy cheese can be eaten or
00:06:55.94\00:06:59.71
sold at the market year round
so that no one in the family
00:06:59.75\00:07:03.65
ever goes hungry. As the goats
have babies, the farm will start
00:07:03.69\00:07:08.39
to grow. If you team up
with your friends and each buy a
00:07:08.42\00:07:12.26
share you can get
a family of goats."
00:07:12.29\00:07:16.46
Last we chose wells and it said
"You can help dig a well in many
00:07:16.50\00:07:23.00
countries. Kids don't have clean
water to drink so sometimes they
00:07:23.04\00:07:30.81
have to dig in the ground for
hours to find enough water to
00:07:30.85\00:07:35.55
fill one bucket. In other places
kids have to drink dirty water,
00:07:35.58\00:07:40.99
yuk, and it often makes
them sick. You can be a hero who
00:07:41.02\00:07:46.19
gives kids clean drinking water
so they can stay healthy and
00:07:46.23\00:07:51.33
hydrated." Well we got right
to work. Each of us participated
00:07:51.37\00:07:57.41
however we could and by the end
we had made a poster, laminated
00:07:57.44\00:08:01.71
the different missions and taped
it to the poster board. Then we
00:08:01.74\00:08:06.61
hung decorated index cards on
00:08:06.65\00:08:08.32
mason jars to collect money
for each mission. Last we asked
00:08:08.35\00:08:12.85
permission to set it out in the
church lobby. After a few short
00:08:12.89\00:08:16.93
weeks we had collected $345.60.
That's more money than we
00:08:16.96\00:08:23.33
thought we could ever collect.
We had enough for almost eight
00:08:23.37\00:08:27.67
chickens, four goats and $160
towards a well. We praise God
00:08:27.70\00:08:38.45
that he has missions that
even us kids can help with.
00:08:38.48\00:08:42.98

00:08:43.02\00:09:03.44
(Miss Michelle) One of the
things that I love to learn
00:09:03.47\00:09:06.17
about is a certain part of the
body. Maybe you can guess what
00:09:06.21\00:09:09.44
it is. Hmm. I think you can.
It's the brain. The brain is an
00:09:09.48\00:09:15.82
amazing organ and it is so
cool to learn about it. There's
00:09:15.85\00:09:21.56
different parts and they all
have such important jobs. Have
00:09:21.59\00:09:25.73
you ever wondered what's
inside God's brain? What kind of
00:09:25.76\00:09:30.23
thoughts does God think? Today
we're going to talk about that.
00:09:30.27\00:09:34.47
Let's pray.
00:09:34.50\00:09:35.84
Dear heavenly Father, we thank
you for loving us. We ask that
00:09:35.87\00:09:38.17
you are here with us right now
as we dive into your word and
00:09:38.21\00:09:42.01
read a very interesting story
that doesn't really match how
00:09:42.04\00:09:45.68
our brains think. We thank you
for sending your Holy Spirit.
00:09:45.71\00:09:49.22
In your name we pray, Amen.
00:09:49.25\00:09:50.62
You see, humans think very
differently than God, especially
00:09:50.65\00:09:56.19
since sin. Right? We were
created in God's image and God
00:09:56.22\00:09:59.49
wanted our brains to think
just like His does. And yet, God
00:09:59.53\00:10:04.07
thinks different thoughts than
we do. What kind of thoughts
00:10:04.10\00:10:07.47
does God think? Isaiah
55 verses 8 and 9 says:
00:10:07.50\00:10:11.81
For my thoughts are not your
thoughts nor are your ways my
00:10:11.84\00:10:19.15
ways, says the Lord. For as
the heavens are higher than the
00:10:19.18\00:10:23.12
earth so are my ways higher than
your ways and my thoughts than
00:10:23.15\00:10:27.62
your thoughts. Then He also says
in the next book of the Bible,
00:10:27.66\00:10:32.33
Jeremiah, this is one of my
favorites, maybe it's one of
00:10:32.36\00:10:35.80
your favorites as well. In
Jeremiah 29 verse 11, what does
00:10:35.83\00:10:40.24
He think about us? For I know
the thoughts that I think toward
00:10:40.27\00:10:44.17
you, says the Lord; thoughts
of peace and not of evil to give
00:10:44.21\00:10:49.14
you a future and a hope.
The whole time that Jesus was on
00:10:49.18\00:10:54.18
earth He was trying to show
us what God was like, how God
00:10:54.22\00:10:58.79
thinks, how Jesus thinks. And in
today's story He really threw us
00:10:58.82\00:11:05.06
a curve ball in telling a story
that helps us understand that
00:11:05.09\00:11:09.36
and yet confuses us because we
don't understand completely how
00:11:09.40\00:11:13.54
God thinks. You see, back then
we know that the Pharisees were
00:11:13.57\00:11:17.57
about the rules, rules, rules.
Jesus didn't obey all of their
00:11:17.61\00:11:21.38
made up rules, made up human
rules. He obeyed his heavenly
00:11:21.41\00:11:24.15
Father's rules. They ruled Him
out as the Messiah because He
00:11:24.18\00:11:28.12
didn't obey their rules.
The rich young ruler also walked
00:11:28.15\00:11:32.42
away because he didn't agree
with what Jesus was asking him
00:11:32.45\00:11:36.42
to do. And the disciples were
even confused about Jesus and
00:11:36.46\00:11:40.93
His thought towards them. In
Mark chapter 9, Mark chapter 9
00:11:40.96\00:11:47.07
verses 33 and 34 it
says, Mark 9:33 and 34:
00:11:47.10\00:11:54.08
Then he came to Capernaum
and when he was in the house he
00:11:54.11\00:11:57.25
asked then, What was it that you
disputed among yourselves in the
00:11:57.28\00:12:00.48
road, and they kept silent
for on the road they had been
00:12:00.52\00:12:03.02
disputing among themselves
over who would be the greatest.
00:12:03.05\00:12:06.22
They were more worried about who
would be at His right hand when
00:12:06.25\00:12:09.52
He conquered the Romans, which
wasn't even going to happen,
00:12:09.56\00:12:12.36
then they were about how God
thinks and about what God cares
00:12:12.39\00:12:16.56
about. So Jesus told this story.
This story is found in Matthew
00:12:16.60\00:12:21.27
chapter 20, Matthew chapter 20
and I brought something to help
00:12:21.30\00:12:28.94
tell this story that we're
going to be using. Maybe you've
00:12:28.98\00:12:32.35
learned about it in school.
Maybe you like digital better,
00:12:32.38\00:12:36.05
but I think that analog is
important to learn as well.
00:12:36.08\00:12:39.15
You see there was a rich farmer
and he had a large vineyard.
00:12:39.19\00:12:43.49
What do they grow in vineyards?
They grow grapes and we have a
00:12:43.53\00:12:49.03
lot of vineyards around where
I live. Not as many maybe as in
00:12:49.06\00:12:51.73
California or maybe other places
in different countries but here
00:12:51.77\00:12:55.84
we have quite a few vineyards
around. And he had so many
00:12:55.87\00:13:02.81
grapes that he needed to
hire extra help to harvest those
00:13:02.84\00:13:06.18
grapes. And we'll pick up the
story in Matthew 20 and verse 1:
00:13:06.21\00:13:09.68
For the kingdom of heaven is
like a landowner who went out
00:13:09.72\00:13:13.15
early in the morning to hire
laborers for his vineyard. Now
00:13:13.19\00:13:17.19
when he had agreed with the
laborers to a denarius a day he
00:13:17.23\00:13:21.53
sent then into his vineyard.
A denarius; so one coin.
00:13:21.56\00:13:25.33
A denarius back then would have
the equivalent of about a day's
00:13:25.37\00:13:28.17
labor, a day's worth of labor.
So today's minimum wage is
00:13:28.20\00:13:32.27
right around $7.25 or so. If you
multiply that by how many hours
00:13:32.31\00:13:35.24
you work you would find out how
much that would be in today's
00:13:35.28\00:13:40.35
money. And they thought that
sounded like a fair deal because
00:13:40.38\00:13:42.58
back then to get a denarius
for one day's labor was fair.
00:13:42.62\00:13:46.22
So they went to work in the
vineyard picking the grapes.
00:13:46.25\00:13:49.96
Verse 3 continues the story: And
he went out at about about the
00:13:49.99\00:13:54.73
third hour. Now this is a little
confusing to Miss Michelle
00:13:54.76\00:13:57.30
because the third hour I might
think 3 o'clock but then I think
00:13:57.33\00:14:01.30
3 a.m. That doesn't make
any sense. Right? No one's up at
00:14:01.34\00:14:05.34
3 a.m. and it says that he
already hired people early in
00:14:05.37\00:14:08.78
the morning in the third hour.
So early in the morning was
00:14:08.81\00:14:12.61
probably, pardon me, my minute
hand is giving me trouble, was
00:14:12.65\00:14:16.42
probably around 6 o'clock.
So small hand pointing to the 6.
00:14:16.45\00:14:19.95
The third hour would have been
three hours after the work day
00:14:19.99\00:14:23.39
started. So that would be 7, 8,
9 o'clock. So 9 a.m. the farmer
00:14:23.43\00:14:29.86
went out and he realized that...
00:14:29.90\00:14:33.20
In the third hour he saw others
standing out in the market place
00:14:33.23\00:14:36.71
and he said to them, You also go
into the vineyard and whatever
00:14:36.74\00:14:39.91
is right I will give you.
00:14:39.94\00:14:41.38
So they went. Now he didn't tell
them how much he was going to
00:14:41.41\00:14:43.65
pay them, did he? They had
to trust him that he would make
00:14:43.68\00:14:48.45
fair pay for them. And so they
did. He realized that he needed
00:14:48.48\00:14:51.99
more workers; there were so many
grapes to pick. Then in verse 5
00:14:52.02\00:14:56.09
it continues: Again in about the
sixth hour... So six hour after
00:14:56.12\00:15:00.03
they had started at six would be
at noon. So at noon once again
00:15:00.06\00:15:03.63
he went out and asked more
people who were standing there
00:15:03.67\00:15:05.83
to come and help him work. And
again at the ninth hour which
00:15:05.87\00:15:09.10
would be three more
hours, right? One, two three, at
00:15:09.14\00:15:11.24
3 o'clock in the afternoon he
asked again for more people to
00:15:11.27\00:15:15.84
come and help him and he didn't
tell them how much he was going
00:15:15.88\00:15:18.85
pay them. It says:... Again he
went in the sixth and the ninth
00:15:18.88\00:15:22.28
hour and did likewise and,...
we're in verse 6, and at about
00:15:22.32\00:15:26.12
the 11th hour he went out
and found others standing idle.
00:15:26.15\00:15:28.69
I don't mean they were just
standing around, they weren't
00:15:28.72\00:15:30.79
moving. If your car is idling it
means it's staying in one place.
00:15:30.83\00:15:33.53
So once again we're to the 11th
hour. So we started at six so
00:15:33.56\00:15:38.63
let's count 11, ready, 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. So
00:15:38.67\00:15:43.00
this is 5 o'clock in the evening
he still realized that they
00:15:43.04\00:15:47.24
weren't going to finish in time
and he needed more help to push
00:15:47.28\00:15:50.55
through to finish that day. And
so at the 11th hour he went and
00:15:50.58\00:15:55.92
hired more people and said to
them, Why have you been standing
00:15:55.95\00:15:59.29
here idle all day? And they said
to him, Because no one has hired
00:15:59.32\00:16:02.42
us. And he said to them, Well
you also go into the vineyard
00:16:02.46\00:16:05.26
and whatever is right you will
receive. So when evening had
00:16:05.29\00:16:09.26
come the owner of the vineyard
said to his steward, Call the
00:16:09.30\00:16:13.10
laborers and give them their
wages. Okay, this was natural.
00:16:13.13\00:16:16.64
They would pay as they went so
at the end of that day, it was
00:16:16.67\00:16:20.41
time to pay them what they were
due. Okay, this is where the
00:16:20.44\00:16:26.41
story gets interesting. Do
you like stories with a surprise
00:16:26.45\00:16:29.18
ending? Sometimes I do,
sometimes I don't. I like to be
00:16:29.22\00:16:32.92
able to guess what the ending
is but I don't think, unless
00:16:32.95\00:16:35.09
you've heard the story before,
you would guess it correctly.
00:16:35.12\00:16:37.03
So what does he do? Well he
tells his servant there he says
00:16:37.06\00:16:44.03
to him... And we should begin
with the last and go to the
00:16:44.07\00:16:51.34
first. Sound familiar? Jesus has
said that before. Right? And so
00:16:51.37\00:16:56.38
when those who came who were
hired at the 11th hour came they
00:16:56.41\00:17:00.92
received a denarius. And the
people who'd been working all
00:17:00.95\00:17:05.92
day thought, well that's
interesting. And then when they
00:17:05.95\00:17:10.39
received it, or no, let's back
up. And then when the first came
00:17:10.43\00:17:14.96
they supposed that they would
receive more. They thought well
00:17:15.00\00:17:17.40
if everybody else, the people
who came at 3 p.m., noon, the
00:17:17.43\00:17:20.50
people who came at 9, if they
all got a denarius, which is
00:17:20.54\00:17:23.54
what it says, then we must be
getting a little more. I mean we
00:17:23.57\00:17:27.04
worked really hard, 12-hour day,
6 to 6. But here's what happened
00:17:27.08\00:17:33.78
When the first came, we're
in verse 10, they supposed they
00:17:33.82\00:17:36.85
would receive more and
they likewise received each a
00:17:36.89\00:17:40.02
denarius, which is what had been
agreed upon. But they were a
00:17:40.06\00:17:43.93
little frustrated. When
they received it they complained
00:17:43.96\00:17:47.60
against the land owner saying,
These men who worked only one
00:17:47.63\00:17:52.43
hour and you made them equal
to us who have born the labor of
00:17:52.47\00:17:56.10
the heat all day long. But
the land owner answered them,
00:17:56.14\00:18:00.54
And he answered one of them and
said, Friend, I'm doing you no
00:18:00.58\00:18:06.72
wrong. Did you not agree to
work for the day for me for a
00:18:06.75\00:18:10.72
denarius? Take what is yours and
go your way. I wish to give to
00:18:10.75\00:18:20.06
this last man the same as to you
Is it not lawful for me to do
00:18:20.10\00:18:25.10
what I wish with my own things?
Or is your eye evil because I am
00:18:25.13\00:18:30.91
good. Whoa! A picture into how
God's brain thinks. And this is
00:18:30.94\00:18:37.05
how Jesus ended this story.
So the last will be first and
00:18:37.08\00:18:42.45
the first will be last. For many
are called but few are chosen.
00:18:42.48\00:18:48.52
What does this mean, Miss
Michelle? It doesn't make any
00:18:48.56\00:18:52.96
sense. We would get really
frustrated if that happened
00:18:52.99\00:18:56.10
to us today. Right. If we worked
all day and got paid the same as
00:18:56.13\00:19:00.67
someone who worked for one hour.
I bet the workers who started
00:19:00.70\00:19:03.64
later in the day were so
glad that they had trusted the
00:19:03.67\00:19:06.91
farmer to be fair with their
wages. Here is what I learned
00:19:06.94\00:19:11.11
from this story. No one can ever
work hard enough, be good enough
00:19:11.15\00:19:18.29
for God's kingdom. You can work
your whole life and you can't do
00:19:18.32\00:19:23.16
it on your own. You see Jesus
is showing in this parable that
00:19:23.19\00:19:28.90
no matter how many hours you
work, you cannot earn salvation.
00:19:28.93\00:19:33.50
You cannot earn the reward
and yet there is only one way to
00:19:33.54\00:19:40.18
earn that, to be able to go to
heaven, have eternal life, which
00:19:40.21\00:19:44.45
is like what the wages in this
story would represent. And we
00:19:44.48\00:19:47.38
find that way, that one way, in
Acts, all throughout the Bible
00:19:47.42\00:19:51.85
obviously, but also in Acts
chapter 4 verse 12. Acts chapter
00:19:51.89\00:19:57.39
4 verse 12 says:... Nor is there
salvation in any other for there
00:19:57.43\00:20:03.93
is no other name under heaven
given among men by which we must
00:20:03.97\00:20:08.97
be saved. Who is that name?
Let's hear it, loud in the back,
00:20:09.00\00:20:12.47
Jesus. The only way that we
can be saved is through Jesus.
00:20:12.51\00:20:15.91
Acts 16 verse 13 also reiterates
or reemphasizes this fact.
00:20:15.94\00:20:21.85
Acts 16 verse 13 says:... Sorry.
Acts 16 verse 13:... I think I
00:20:21.88\00:20:29.39
may have written down the wrong
Oh here it is. It's verse 31. I
00:20:29.42\00:20:33.36
flipped the numbers. Have you
ever done that before? So they
00:20:33.40\00:20:35.80
said: Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and you will be saved,
00:20:35.83\00:20:39.93
you and your household. Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ. That's
00:20:39.97\00:20:44.44
it folks. Sinless Jesus lived
for us. He lived the life that
00:20:44.47\00:20:51.21
we can't and He died the death
that we deserve. He died and in
00:20:51.25\00:21:00.52
His death He provided our
salvation. Praise God. Glory to
00:21:00.56\00:21:06.53
His name. Isn't it amazing to
see inside a little picture of
00:21:06.56\00:21:10.67
what is inside Jesus' brain? And
his heart. Right? That he would
00:21:10.70\00:21:16.30
do that for us. That God
would make that plan before the
00:21:16.34\00:21:19.41
foundation of the world, before
creation, he had a plan to save
00:21:19.44\00:21:22.61
us in case we messed it
up, which we did. And you can
00:21:22.64\00:21:27.58
imagine that the disciples and
everyone who was listening were
00:21:27.62\00:21:30.32
majorly confused by this story.
We could think about this story
00:21:30.35\00:21:34.46
for a really long time and still
not completely understand the
00:21:34.49\00:21:37.86
amazing love that Jesus has for
us. It's not fair, but that's
00:21:37.89\00:21:41.96
the amazing thing about it.
For by grace you have been saved
00:21:42.00\00:21:45.67
through faith. Ephesians 2 verse
8. Let's thank God today and
00:21:45.70\00:21:50.54
praise Him for His salvation.

Our memory verse today says:
For grace you have been saved
00:24:11.71\00:24:14.08
through faith, and that not of
yourselves, it is a gift of God.
00:24:14.12\00:24:17.09
It's found in
Ephesians 2 verse 8.

00:24:20.96\00:24:35.57
Hi kids, this is Moe. Last week
we talked about what happened to
00:24:35.60\00:24:40.91
a very close friend of ours
in the mission field. As we were
00:24:40.94\00:24:46.11
trying to help him, my father,
in the process, got kidnapped.
00:24:46.15\00:24:49.28
Now we decided that things
weren't looking good because we
00:24:49.32\00:24:54.06
hadn't seen our father. So we
decided to pray. And we prayed
00:24:54.09\00:24:58.49
and we said, Dear Lord, Please
whatever is going on help our
00:24:58.53\00:25:03.63
dad to be okay. And you know
what my friends? God listens
00:25:03.67\00:25:08.60
and He can even talk to
kidnappers. Now we didn't know
00:25:08.64\00:25:11.97
this but they were driving
my father down to the river. And
00:25:12.01\00:25:15.94
whenever they would drive
you down to the river they would
00:25:15.98\00:25:18.08
take all your money and they
will throw you out and hurt you
00:25:18.11\00:25:21.32
really bad. So we prayed and
we said Lord please and just at
00:25:21.35\00:25:26.52
that moment God started to
impress upon the head kidnapper
00:25:26.55\00:25:30.63
that if he was going to touch my
father he was going to mess with
00:25:30.66\00:25:35.86
God and things were not going to
look good for him. So he turned
00:25:35.90\00:25:40.44
to the other people that were in
the car that were kidnapping my
00:25:40.47\00:25:43.61
dad and he says, You guys, we
cannot touch this person because
00:25:43.64\00:25:49.04
this person is a man of God. And
at that moment someone of the
00:25:49.08\00:25:53.35
people that were there in the
car, No way, we never do this.
00:25:53.38\00:25:56.95
We always finish the job. But he
said No, God has shown me that
00:25:56.99\00:26:03.12
we cannot touch this man. And
my friends, I want to tell you
00:26:03.16\00:26:07.40
what, whenever you pray God
listens. You might feel stuck,
00:26:07.43\00:26:11.40
you might be in a hard situation
in your life but guess what?
00:26:11.43\00:26:15.24
Jesus understands and if you go
to Him He always knows what you
00:26:15.27\00:26:21.44
need. Next week we're going
to see what happens when those
00:26:21.48\00:26:24.85
kidnappers get converted. Talk
to you next week and God bless.
00:26:24.88\00:26:31.32

00:27:39.12\00:27:43.43
But only you can save us. I pray
that you will help us to live
00:27:43.46\00:27:48.36

us to. Help us to be friendly
00:27:48.40\00:27:55.34
