00:04:58.23\00:05:02.70
(Mr. Prewitt) Today we're going
to be talking about dogs and I
00:05:02.73\00:05:06.77
want to tell you about a story
that really happened to me.
00:05:06.80\00:05:08.64
I was walking on a mountain full
of monkeys when I saw something
00:05:08.67\00:05:12.44
up ahead on the ground. But it
wasn't a monkey. It was coming
00:05:12.47\00:05:15.98
towards me very quickly and
it was ferocious, barking and
00:05:16.01\00:05:19.78
snarling and showing its fangs
and it was a mother dog. You
00:05:19.81\00:05:25.19
know, you could tell that
she was a mother and she was so
00:05:25.22\00:05:29.12
angry. I had never seen her
before. I knew the dogs on my
00:05:29.16\00:05:31.96
mountain. Where did you come
from? But she couldn't talk back
00:05:31.99\00:05:34.86
to me. But I knew someone
probably dropped her off and do
00:05:34.90\00:05:39.50
you know why she was so
ferocious? It's because she was
00:05:39.53\00:05:43.54
scared. She was afraid and I
looked behind her and I saw she
00:05:43.57\00:05:49.14
had puppies. So I named her
Suzie-Q. I talked to Suzie and
00:05:49.18\00:05:55.15
over the course of several weeks
I decided, I'm going to make
00:05:55.18\00:05:57.55
friends with this dog because
I noticed that Suzie, she was
00:05:57.59\00:06:01.19
barking at people on bicycles
Rrrr, and she bark at people in
00:06:01.22\00:06:05.66
cars, Rrr, and she'd bark
at people who were walking by
00:06:05.69\00:06:07.96
Rrr-rrr. Suzie was just a
terribly ferocious dog bothering
00:06:08.00\00:06:14.50
everybody. So I had my methods.
I won't tell you what I did.
00:06:14.54\00:06:17.87
But once I'd made friends with
Suzie, you know what happened?
00:06:17.91\00:06:21.04
Suzie was converted. Now she was
a cuddlebug. She loved to come
00:06:21.08\00:06:27.32
near me and, you know what dogs
do. She'd kind of back into me
00:06:27.35\00:06:29.52
and try to get as close as she
could and kind of push into my
00:06:29.55\00:06:32.12
leg and Suzie would run up.
She'd want to smell my breath
00:06:32.15\00:06:35.52
so she'd jump up on me and
she was just so friendly. What
00:06:35.56\00:06:40.56
happened is an idea that's
described in the Bible. It's in
00:06:40.60\00:06:44.33
1 John chapter 4. Let me read it
to you. First John 4 verse 17.
00:06:44.37\00:06:50.91
It says:
00:06:50.94\00:06:52.27
You know what I read here. I
read that love can cast out fear
00:07:09.02\00:07:15.16
Why was she so ferocious? It was
because she was afraid. She was
00:07:15.20\00:07:20.60
afraid I'd hurt her puppies or
hurt her. And when she knew that
00:07:20.64\00:07:24.04
I loved her, her fear went away
and her ferociousness went away.
00:07:24.07\00:07:27.94
Now young friends. You know,
that you might know people too
00:07:27.98\00:07:32.55
that have anger all the time
that always seem like they're
00:07:32.58\00:07:35.92
brats or bullies. Do you know
that if you will try hard to
00:07:35.95\00:07:40.36
show them love and kindness
sometimes the effect is that
00:07:40.39\00:07:43.99
they'll be born again, they'll
be converted. That really what's
00:07:44.03\00:07:47.90
going on is they're just afraid.
They're insecure and when they
00:07:47.93\00:07:51.23
know that you really care about
them it'll make a difference for
00:07:51.27\00:07:54.20
them. So don't forget 1 John
4:18. It says in the last half
00:07:54.24\00:07:58.21
of the verse that fear has
torment. Do you think that Suzie
00:07:58.24\00:08:02.61
liked being ferocious? Of course
not. But I'll tell you once
00:08:02.64\00:08:07.55
Suzie began being friendly there
was one group that she wasn't
00:08:07.58\00:08:12.09
friendly with. That was
some of the people that rode the
00:08:12.12\00:08:16.79
bicycles and I wondered why
but I found out. It was because
00:08:16.83\00:08:21.00
these were the people that when
she was being ornery and mean
00:08:21.03\00:08:24.93
they threw rocks at her and even
after she was born again she
00:08:24.97\00:08:29.47
didn't forget that. So be
careful the things you say, the
00:08:29.50\00:08:33.58
way you hurt people when
you try to get them back for the
00:08:33.61\00:08:36.75
mean things they do to you even
if they're born again, it might
00:08:36.78\00:08:39.98
hurt your friendship with them.
We can learn a lot from Suzie.
00:08:40.02\00:08:43.75
That perfect love casts out fear
and when fear is gone and love
00:08:43.79\00:08:48.69
comes we can be ready for
Jesus. Let me pray with you.
00:08:48.72\00:08:51.86
Our Father in heaven, I'm
asking that you would teach us
00:08:51.89\00:08:56.67
how to find the people
like Suzie in our life that are
00:08:56.70\00:09:00.30
ferocious and could be converted
by love. Teach us how to trust
00:09:00.34\00:09:04.77
you so our own fears will go
away. I'm asking for this gift
00:09:04.81\00:09:09.51
and for your Spirit in
the name of Jesus. Amen.
00:09:09.54\00:09:12.85

00:09:12.88\00:09:38.24
(Miss Michelle) Hi everybody
and welcome back. I'm glad that
00:09:38.27\00:09:40.41
you're here. You see today's
story is called Jesus' Last
00:09:40.44\00:09:44.65
Visit to the Temple and
this is his last visit where he
00:09:44.68\00:09:48.28
voluntarily went there. Last
visits are hard aren't they?
00:09:48.32\00:09:52.82
I remember my last visit with
different places that I have
00:09:52.85\00:09:57.86
lived or maybe a school that I
taught at or maybe a last visit
00:09:57.89\00:10:01.43
with a dear relative. They're
kind of bitter sweet aren't they
00:10:01.46\00:10:04.73
Um and sadly this one was a
sad visit and yet it needed to
00:10:04.77\00:10:13.11
happen. Let's find out
what happened during this visit.
00:10:13.14\00:10:15.41
Let's pray.
00:10:15.44\00:10:16.78
Dear heavenly Father, thank you
so much for loving us. Thank you
00:10:16.81\00:10:19.71
for taking care of us and
for blessing us in so many ways.
00:10:19.75\00:10:23.15
Send your Holy Spirit to be with
us here today, Lord, to open our
00:10:23.18\00:10:26.45
eyes to new things about
you. In your name we pray, Amen.
00:10:26.49\00:10:30.03
We're still on Tuesday of Jesus'
last week and this is, as we
00:10:30.06\00:10:35.10
said the last day that Jesus
taught in the temple. There was
00:10:35.13\00:10:38.77
one thing that He needed to do
that he hadn't... He'd done it
00:10:38.80\00:10:42.10
here and there but never super,
super blatently. Well what was
00:10:42.14\00:10:45.84
that? You see His whole life had
testified to what His mission
00:10:45.87\00:10:50.48
was and who He truly was and He
was pointing others to God and
00:10:50.51\00:10:54.32
what God's character is like.
Now the rulers and the Pharisees
00:10:54.35\00:10:58.45
the priests and most of them
knew that what He said was true
00:10:58.49\00:11:01.82
but they had refused to believe
in Him and follow Him. But there
00:11:01.86\00:11:06.39
were some people that were
still on the fence. They were
00:11:06.43\00:11:08.63
wondering, is Jesus the Messiah?
Is He truly the Son of God?
00:11:08.66\00:11:12.57
Is He truly the promised one?
Jesus needed to plainly call out
00:11:12.60\00:11:17.14
the leaders, the religious
leaders of that day and tell the
00:11:17.17\00:11:22.24
people what they were truly
about and let the people know
00:11:22.28\00:11:25.51
maybe some things that they
didn't know about their leaders.
00:11:25.55\00:11:29.22
Jesus said this although in a
very kind voice but one full of
00:11:29.25\00:11:33.29
authority and pity. He said
it with kingly authority and He
00:11:33.32\00:11:37.46
said it with power and people
listened and they believed what
00:11:37.49\00:11:41.26
He said. And no one could really
argue with what He was saying
00:11:41.30\00:11:44.80
about the priests and Pharisees
and leaders because all of it
00:11:44.83\00:11:48.10
was true. If they fact checked
it, it would have been true.
00:11:48.14\00:11:52.21
And He said this without fear,
which is amazing because he laid
00:11:52.24\00:11:57.48
some real big accusations down
that were true and we find those
00:11:57.51\00:12:02.02
in Matthew 23 verses 1-36. I'm
just going to read a few of them
00:12:02.05\00:12:07.09
If you wanted to read Jesus'
whole speech that He gave I
00:12:07.12\00:12:12.99
guess what He said, you could
do that but Wow there are some
00:12:13.03\00:12:17.30
really crazy things that He said
that were true so they weren't
00:12:17.33\00:12:21.20
even crazy they were true but
it was amazing that He had the
00:12:21.24\00:12:25.37
strength and courage to say
these things about these very
00:12:25.41\00:12:27.74
powerful leaders of the time.
Let's jump in right away here.
00:12:27.78\00:12:31.31
It says here in Matthew 23 Jesus
spoke to the multitudes and to
00:12:31.35\00:12:37.92
His disciples saying, The
scribes and Pharisees sit in
00:12:37.95\00:12:40.89
Moses's seat. Therefore,
whatever they tell you to do
00:12:40.92\00:12:43.79
observe, that observe and do
but do not do according to their
00:12:43.83\00:12:48.06
works for they
say, but they do not do.
00:12:48.10\00:12:51.37
This is just the beginning.
00:12:51.40\00:12:53.20
For they bind heavy burdens hard
to bear and lay them on men's
00:12:53.23\00:12:57.07
shoulders but they themselves
they will not move them with one
00:12:57.11\00:13:00.38
of their fingers.
00:13:00.41\00:13:02.54
Whoa and it just gets worse.
Let's jump ahead a little bit in
00:13:02.58\00:13:05.58
Matthew 23: They love the best
places at feasts and the best
00:13:05.61\00:13:09.45
seats in the synagogues and
greetings in the market place
00:13:09.48\00:13:12.45
and to be called by men, Rabbi,
Rabbi. But you do not be called
00:13:12.49\00:13:16.96
Rabbi for one is your teacher,
the Christ, and you are all
00:13:16.99\00:13:21.06
brethern. Do not call anyone
on earth your Father for one is
00:13:21.10\00:13:24.13
your Father and He is in heaven.
00:13:24.17\00:13:25.50
And He continues to talk
about what the Pharisees, the
00:13:25.53\00:13:30.07
religious leaders had done wrong
And He called them Woes, like
00:13:30.11\00:13:33.68
Woe, watch out.
00:13:33.71\00:13:35.04
But woe to you scribes and
Pharisees, you hypocrits, [means
00:13:35.08\00:13:39.11
you say one thing and do
another] for you shut up the
00:13:39.15\00:13:41.98
kingdom of heaven against men
for you neither go in yourselves
00:13:42.02\00:13:46.52
nor do you allow those who are
entering to go in. [Wow] Woe to
00:13:46.55\00:13:51.89
you blind guides who say whoever
swears by the temple it is
00:13:51.93\00:13:56.56
nothing but whoever swears
by the gold of the temple, he is
00:13:56.60\00:13:58.53
obliged to perform it. [It just
doesn't make sense what you say]
00:13:58.57\00:14:02.90
Fools and blind but which is
greater? The gold of the temple
00:14:02.94\00:14:04.71
or the temple that
sanctifies the gold.
00:14:04.74\00:14:10.78
And Jesus continues to just tell
them one thing after another
00:14:10.81\00:14:13.98
that they've done wrong.
00:14:14.02\00:14:15.35
Woe to you scribes and Pharisees
you hypocrits for you pay tithe
00:14:15.38\00:14:20.06
in mint and anise and cummin
and have neglected the weightier
00:14:20.09\00:14:22.12
matters of the law such as
justice and mercy and faith.
00:14:22.16\00:14:25.86
These you ought to have
done without leaving the others
00:14:25.89\00:14:29.23
undone. [And he continues] Woe
[woe, woe, woe] to you scribes
00:14:29.26\00:14:35.14
and Pharisees hypocrits [again
and again and again] because you
00:14:35.17\00:14:38.97
build the tombs of the prophets
and adorn the monuments of the
00:14:39.01\00:14:41.34
righteous and say, Oh if we had
lived in the days of our fathers
00:14:41.38\00:14:44.25
we would not have been partakers
with them in the blood of the
00:14:44.28\00:14:46.75
prophets. Therefore, you
are witnesses against yourselves
00:14:46.78\00:14:49.92
that you are sons of those who
murdered those prophets. Fill up
00:14:49.95\00:14:56.59
then the measure of your
fathers' guilt. Serpents, brood
00:14:56.62\00:14:59.23
of vipers, how can you escape
the condemnation of hell? [Whoa]
00:14:59.26\00:15:04.57
Therefore indeed I send you
prophets, wise men and scribes
00:15:04.60\00:15:07.77
Some of them you will kill
and crucify and some of them you
00:15:07.80\00:15:10.67
you will scourge in your
synagogue and persecute from
00:15:10.71\00:15:12.94
city to city that on you
may come all the righteous blood
00:15:12.97\00:15:18.81
shed on earth and from the blood
of the righteous Abel to the
00:15:18.85\00:15:21.75
blood of Zechariah the son of
Berechiah whom you have murdered
00:15:21.78\00:15:26.65
between the temple and the altar
Assuredly, I say to you all
00:15:26.69\00:15:28.72
these things will
come upon this generation.
00:15:28.76\00:15:31.13
And I skipped some verses
here and there. That is a loaded
00:15:31.16\00:15:36.97
chapter isn't it of what Jesus
to the scribes and Pharisees
00:15:37.00\00:15:40.44
to the leaders of that day.
You can imagine, it was not well
00:15:40.47\00:15:45.51
received. Then Jesus continues.
He wasn't done yet. This wasn't
00:15:45.54\00:15:51.81
a parable anymore folks. This
was Jesus putting it all out
00:15:51.85\00:15:55.65
there. He was showing what they
were really like. You may have
00:15:55.68\00:16:00.16
heard these verses before. In
verse 37, 38 and 39 I'd like to
00:16:00.19\00:16:04.06
read those to you.
00:16:04.09\00:16:06.63
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the
one who kills the prophets and
00:16:06.66\00:16:08.93
stones those who are sent to
her How often I wanted to gather
00:16:08.96\00:16:12.47
your children together
as a hen gathers her chicks
00:16:12.50\00:16:16.14
under her wings
00:16:16.17\00:16:17.51
but you were not willing.
See your house is left to you
00:16:17.54\00:16:23.35
desolate. For I say to you, you
shall see me no more till you
00:16:23.38\00:16:27.42
say blessed is He who
comes in the name of the Lord.
00:16:27.45\00:16:30.19
Your house? Wasn't this
God's house? But no, after they
00:16:30.22\00:16:35.32
rejected Jesus, it was no longer
God's house. They kept using it
00:16:35.36\00:16:41.36
for many years, nearly 40 years
until it was then destroyed.
00:16:41.40\00:16:45.13
When Jesus died it was no
longer God's house. The Jews had
00:16:45.17\00:16:49.70
finally rejected the Messiah.
Now this was a super sad last
00:16:49.74\00:16:58.11
visit to the temple, wasn't
it? But He delivered a very
00:16:58.15\00:17:00.85
important message
then. Now you see outside the
00:17:00.88\00:17:04.35
temple some Greeks
00:17:04.39\00:17:05.72
had come. They had heard of
Jesus and about Him cleansing
00:17:05.75\00:17:08.12
the temple. They were there for
Passover and they wanted to know
00:17:08.16\00:17:11.56
more about Him, but they were
Gentiles so they couldn't go
00:17:11.59\00:17:13.93
into the inner courts of
the temple. So how did they get
00:17:13.96\00:17:16.46
Jesus's attention? In John,
it talks about it. In John 12
00:17:16.50\00:17:22.84
verses 20-22. John 12
verses 20-22. It says,
00:17:22.87\00:17:27.14
Now there were certain Greeks
among those who came up to
00:17:27.18\00:17:31.81
worship at the feast. Then
they came to Philip who was from
00:17:31.85\00:17:35.82
Bethsaida of Galilee and said
to him, saying sir, we wish to
00:17:35.85\00:17:39.15
see Jesus. They found one of
Jesus's disciples and who knows
00:17:39.19\00:17:43.53
someone might find you someday
and tell you, I wish to see
00:17:43.56\00:17:48.16
Jesus. Could you show them what
Jesus is like? Hmm. Philip came
00:17:48.20\00:17:52.07
and told Andrew and in turn
Andrew and Philip went together
00:17:52.10\00:17:55.20
and told Jesus.
00:17:55.24\00:17:56.57
But Jesus answered them saying,
The hour is come that the Son of
00:17:56.60\00:17:59.77
man should be glorified. Most
assuredly I say to you, Unless a
00:17:59.81\00:18:02.84
grain of wheat falls onto
the ground and dies, it remains
00:18:02.88\00:18:06.88
alone. But if it dies, it
produces much grain. He who
00:18:06.92\00:18:10.62
loves his life will lose it, and
he who hates his life in this
00:18:10.65\00:18:13.12
world will keep it for eternal
life. If anyone serves Me, let
00:18:13.15\00:18:16.56
him follow Me and where I am
there my servant will also be.
00:18:16.59\00:18:21.66
If anyone serves Me
him my Father will honor.
00:18:21.70\00:18:26.90
What a cool message he shared
with those Greeks wasn't it?
00:18:26.94\00:18:30.21
He said, This one kernal of
grain we could just let it live.
00:18:30.24\00:18:34.88
Right? And if it dies, we'll
have a huge harvest of grain
00:18:34.91\00:18:38.71
like seeds. Right. Seeds
technically have to die and be
00:18:38.75\00:18:44.75
planted in order to grow again.
He was talking about what was
00:18:44.79\00:18:47.19
going to happen to Him that very
weekend, wasn't He? He sure was.
00:18:47.22\00:18:51.73
And there were listening. Isn't
it interesting that at Jesus'
00:18:51.76\00:18:57.60
birth Gentiles came. Where
did they come from? The wise men
00:18:57.63\00:19:00.60
came from the east and they came
to see the Baby Jesus. And at
00:19:00.64\00:19:05.61
the end of Jesus' life the
Greeks came. They came from the
00:19:05.64\00:19:09.58
west and they came to learn
about Jesus. Isn't that cool how
00:19:09.61\00:19:14.62
Jesus' life ended and began with
everyone seeking Him. Well not
00:19:14.65\00:19:19.69
everyone right? Interesting that
the Gentiles were seeking him
00:19:19.72\00:19:23.12
more than the Jews were. Very
sad isn't it. Now in John 12
00:19:23.16\00:19:28.06
verse 24 it talked about the
kernel of wheat. Right? And in
00:19:28.10\00:19:32.70
verse 25 it talked about how the
kernel of wheat had to die. That
00:19:32.73\00:19:36.27
symbolizes us also dying to
ourself and Jesus helping us to
00:19:36.30\00:19:41.08
combat those selfish temptations
that the devil throws at us.
00:19:41.11\00:19:44.81
Jesus showed people what God was
truly like didn't He? And the
00:19:44.85\00:19:49.75
world could also see what Satan
was like and see him for who he
00:19:49.78\00:19:55.69
truly is. Now the disciples
at this point were still sad,
00:19:55.72\00:19:59.09
confused and disappointed. They
were afraid as well. This wasn't
00:19:59.13\00:20:04.03
turning out the way that Sunday
had started with the donkey ride
00:20:04.07\00:20:07.30
into Jerusalem. That had been
going as they had wanted it to
00:20:07.34\00:20:10.41
go, right, according to their
plan. But they could see as they
00:20:10.44\00:20:14.11
were leaving the temple on
Tuesday that things weren't
00:20:14.14\00:20:17.58
headed in the direction that
they thought it was going and in
00:20:17.61\00:20:21.62
Mark they asked Jesus a question
because they were really
00:20:21.65\00:20:25.29
confused by now. I mean a
lot of things that had happened
00:20:25.32\00:20:28.09
during Jesus' ministry were
confusing to them but by now
00:20:28.12\00:20:30.96
they were just befuddled. They
couldn't understand. In Mark
00:20:30.99\00:20:34.73
chapter 13 verse 1 it says:
00:20:34.76\00:20:36.67
Then as He went out of the
temple one of the disciples said
00:20:36.70\00:20:40.24
to Him, Teacher see what manner
of stones and buildings are here
00:20:40.27\00:20:44.94
And Jesus answered and said
to him, Do you see those great
00:20:44.97\00:20:47.98
buildings? Not one stone shall
be left upon another that shall
00:20:48.01\00:20:52.25
not be thrown down. Well if they
were confused before, they were
00:20:52.28\00:20:56.85
even more confused now. And
Matthew, Mark and Luke, three
00:20:56.89\00:21:02.92
gospels all contain Jesus's
answer to their question,
00:21:02.96\00:21:05.99
because this was very confusing
to them. Let's continue reading
00:21:06.03\00:21:11.30
here what that question was.
00:21:11.33\00:21:12.67
Now as He sat on the Mount of
Olives opposite the temple Peter
00:21:12.70\00:21:16.74
James, John and Andrew asked
Him privately, Tell us when will
00:21:16.77\00:21:22.04
these things be and what will be
the sign when all these things
00:21:22.08\00:21:25.38
will be fulfilled? Once again,
three gospels answered that
00:21:25.41\00:21:30.92
question. And Jesus told about
future events all the way up
00:21:30.95\00:21:34.92
up until the second coming when
He would come again. And because
00:21:34.96\00:21:39.29
He told those events that would
happen all the way to the end
00:21:39.33\00:21:42.66
they're also really important
for us to know as well. You see
00:21:42.70\00:21:47.54
it goes all the way up to: Then
they will see the Son of Man
00:21:47.57\00:21:50.27
coming the clouds with great
glory and power and then He will
00:21:50.31\00:21:53.91
send His angels and gather
together His elect from the four
00:21:53.94\00:21:57.31
winds, from the farthest parts
of the earth, from the farthest
00:21:57.35\00:21:59.98
part of heaven.
00:22:00.02\00:22:01.35
Oh! I'm so excited. That was
verse 26 and 27. Are you curious
00:22:01.38\00:22:06.55
to know what will happen at the
end of time? What will happen in
00:22:06.59\00:22:10.13
the future. Hmm. Tune in next
week to find out what Jesus said
00:22:10.16\00:22:15.36

00:22:15.40\00:22:29.11
Thank you, Miss Michelle, for
that Bible story. Now last week
00:22:29.14\00:22:32.08
we had some questions. Let's
see what those answers were and
00:22:32.11\00:22:35.85
let's see if you got them right.
00:22:35.88\00:22:37.22
¤ ¤
00:22:37.25\00:22:56.71
It's time now for our new
questions. I really hope you
00:22:56.74\00:22:59.77
were listening today because it
was such a good lesson for us.
00:22:59.81\00:23:04.01
So let's see if you can answer
these questions. Question #1:
00:23:04.05\00:23:09.35
Question #2:
00:23:23.90\00:23:27.94
Is what Jesus told his disciples
about the end times important
00:23:30.81\00:23:34.44
for us today?
00:23:34.48\00:23:36.78
Now I think I kind of gave you
a hint as to the answer for that
00:23:36.81\00:23:40.88
last one. But you can
send in your answers to us at:
00:23:40.92\00:23:44.95
answers@startingwithjesus.com
and we'll give you a shout out
00:23:44.99\00:23:48.29
in our next week's lesson

00:23:50.66\00:24:03.17
The memory verse for today was
found in John 12 verse 26 said:
00:24:03.20\00:24:08.78
If anyone serves me let him
follow me and him will my father
00:24:08.81\00:24:14.58
honor.

Hey boys and girls. Welcome
to activity time. We have a new
00:24:30.23\00:24:32.80
section where we're going to be
doing some fun things together.
00:24:32.83\00:24:35.27
Now that it's warm we'll be
doing some things outside and
00:24:35.30\00:24:38.51
some crafts. It'll be really fun
and Miss Michelle is going to be
00:24:38.54\00:24:42.54
doing the craft. So,
are you ready? Let's go!
00:24:42.58\00:24:46.15
Hi, it's Michelle, the other
Michelle. We're going to do an
00:24:46.18\00:24:50.09
activity together so before
you start be sure to go to:
00:24:50.12\00:24:54.99
startingwithjesus.com/activities
There you'll find instructions
00:24:55.02\00:24:59.63
of what we're going to be doing.
So what you'll need is a pair of
00:24:59.66\00:25:04.53
scissors, a pencil, crayons, a
Bible, and a printed book, and a
00:25:04.57\00:25:13.34
stapler. All right. Are you
ready? This is what we're going
00:25:13.38\00:25:17.51
to do. Okay, so the first thing
we are going to do is write our
00:25:17.55\00:25:21.18
name here. My name is Michelle
so I'm going to write Michelle
00:25:21.22\00:25:24.29
here on the line and then we're
going to read our verse which is
00:25:24.32\00:25:28.92
John chapter 12 verse 24.
00:25:28.96\00:25:31.66
¤ ¤
00:25:31.69\00:25:42.14
Now let's illustrate that. I'm
going to draw some grass here
00:25:42.17\00:25:46.24
and fill it in with some dirt
and then draw a seed that has
00:25:46.27\00:25:51.11
been planted and then a sprout
and a plant coming out because
00:25:51.15\00:25:55.78
that's what I got from this
verse, but you draw whatever you
00:25:55.82\00:25:59.02
got from this verse. Now some
of you may not enjoy drawing so
00:25:59.05\00:26:02.99
what you can do is you can print
out a picture and paste it onto
00:26:03.02\00:26:07.80
that same place of illustration.
This next section I'm going to
00:26:07.83\00:26:13.20
leave blank because I want to
see what you learned from this
00:26:13.23\00:26:17.24
verse. So I'm not going to write
anything. After reading this
00:26:17.27\00:26:21.18
verse I'm going to title
this Illustrations by Jesus.
00:26:21.21\00:26:25.51
Now our next verse is
Matthew 23:37. I'm actually not
00:26:25.55\00:26:33.22
going to fill this out because
I want to see what you got from
00:26:33.25\00:26:37.76
this verse. You can send
pictures of your finished
00:26:37.79\00:26:41.10
booklets to:
media@startingwithjesus.com
00:26:41.13\00:26:46.07
Now this next part you'll want
to have an adult help you with.
00:26:46.10\00:26:49.64
You're going to take some
scissors and cut along these
00:26:49.67\00:26:52.97
black lines. So this first one
and the second line and remember
00:26:53.01\00:26:58.51
to cut both sheets. Okay,
now that we're all done, we can
00:26:58.55\00:27:05.15
staple it all together just like
that. Wonderful solid work kids.
00:27:05.19\00:27:10.93

School that you will help us to
put them in our hearts because
00:27:49.76\00:27:53.30
we know that you are coming
soon. Help us to share with our
00:27:53.34\00:27:56.04
neighbors. Help us to share with
our friends the fact that you
00:27:56.07\00:27:59.37
are coming soon and how much you
love us. Thank you for today.
00:27:59.41\00:28:02.64
Help us to be more like
you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
00:28:02.68\00:28:07.18
Thank you for watching. Have a
blessed week and keep in touch.
