00:03 Hello there, Happy Sabbath. Come on in. We're about to meet
00:05 with the King. 00:07 ¤ ¤ 00:54 Hello, I'm Auntie Nat. It's wonderful you could all join us 00:57 to meet with the King. We're 00:58 about to open the Sabbath. 00:59 Come and join our worship time 01:01 together. Hello Auntie Cecily. It's wonderful to see you. 01:04 I'm glad to be here Auntie Nat. 01:06 And hello children It's just fabulous that you could be with 01:09 us to open the Sabbath and welcome the King. And hello 01:12 Teddy. Oh you're so good. It's so great that you've joined us 01:18 again. Auntie Cecily would you like to say a prayer to open 01:21 our Sabbath? 01:22 Dear Father in heaven, we thank you so much for keeping 01:25 us safe through the week and we just pray now that you would 01:29 be with us as we open the Sabbath. In Jesus' name Amen. 01:35 Amen. Do you know that this is a great time the reflect on 01:38 our week and 01:39 count the many blessings that God has sent us. 01:42 Jameeka you have a blessing to tell us. 01:44 I'm glad that Jesus died on the cross for us and that has given 01:49 me a chance to be part of His family. 01:50 That's beautiful Jameeka. Thank you for sharing that with us. 01:52 And Auntie Cecily, you have a blessing to share with us 01:55 as well. 01:56 Yes. Remember last time we met we spoke a great deal about the 02:01 Sabbath. Well now I want to share with you all about the 02:04 character of God who made the Sabbath. Today I want to talk 02:09 with you about how God is our deliverer. Later on we're 02:13 going to study in the Bible how God chose Moses to do a 02:18 special job for Him. Through a series of events God prepared 02:22 Moses to work for Him in delivering His people out of the 02:27 cruel slavery in Egypt. Psalms also tells us that God is our 02:31 rock, our fortress and our deliverer. Our God is mighty 02:37 to save. God also delivered us from death by sending His Son 02:42 Jesus to die on the cross for us so that we could live 02:45 eternally in heaven with him. What an amazing God we have 02:50 don't we. He cares for us so much. God is our deliverer. 02:54 Amen. Thanks Auntie Cecily for sharing that with us. Do you 02:59 another way that we can worship God on the Sabbath is to worship 03:02 Him in song. And we've asked Pastor Rick here with us. 03:06 Thanks Pastor Rick. 03:07 Thanks Auntie Nat. Welcome 03:09 children. I'm thinking we might sing Rejoice in the Lord Always. 03:13 What so you think? 04:00 Pastor Rick, can we please sing This Is the Day? 04:05 That's a Lovely song, yes, let's do it. 05:14 Pastor Rick, could we please sing God Is Our Best Friend? 05:18 He is our best friend. Let's sing it. It's a wonderful song. 06:47 ¤He is so good to me; God is my best friend¤ 06:55 Thanks Pastor Rick. It's so good to praise God in song. 07:01 Dr. John has a blessing to share with us now as well. 07:06 Let's go and see what that is. 07:07 Hello boys and girls. My name is Dr. John Hammond and welcome to 07:18 Sunnyside, the Australian Home of Mrs. Ellen G. White. I have 07:20 some interesting stories for you. Just come inside and see. 07:26 You're going to like this. 07:28 Hello boys and girls, I'm Dr. John and we've got another 07:34 story about Ellen and the years that she spent as a wonderful 07:38 prophet of God. You know when you were born you know what the 07:43 first thing your mom did? I'll bet she counted your fingers 07:48 and she counted your toes and she made sure that you had a 07:52 nose. And then she held you and she would have said, I 07:57 wonder what this little baby girl or little baby boy is going 08:01 to be like in life. You know she had sons. She had Henry, and 08:06 she had Edson, and after a while a little boy was born and she 08:12 called him Willie. And Willie, he was a live wire little kid. 08:17 He got into everything. And finally one day they had a girl 08:22 called Jennie who was looking after him and she was trying to 08:26 get things done and she was mopping the floor. Now you look 08:30 at this old fashioned bucket. And when she finished it was 08:36 full of very dirty water. And she went out to get some fire 08:41 wood just for one minute. But you know, I know a little boy 08:46 who died who drowned in that much water. And when she came 08:51 in all was silent. She couldn't hear Willie when normally he 08:56 was chattering. He was not quite two years of age. Where's Willie 09:00 where's Willie and she went inside and Willie had his head 09:04 in the bucket. And his little arm was hanging out. And she 09:08 picked him up and she started to scream. Willie's dead, Willie's 09:12 dead, Willie's drowned. And Ellen, who was working upstairs, she 09:16 came running down the stairs. What's the matter, what's the 09:20 matter. He's drowned, he's drowned, he's drowned Mrs. 09:22 White. Go and 09:23 get the doctor. And she rushed him outside, pulled him out of 09:27 the bucket. He had this horrible gray water coming out of his 09:30 nose and mouth. She rolled him around on the grass. She cut off 09:34 all his clothes and she rolled him on the ground. They were 09:38 saying what's she doing that for he's dead. You know after a 09:43 while she got him up and a little bit of water came out of 09:47 his mouth, dirty, gray bucket water. And she rolled him on 09:52 the grass again and then after a while she saw his little mouth 09:57 just start to quiver. And Jennie was crying he's dead, he's dead, 10:04 he's dead. And all of a sudden whooosh, all the water came up 10:09 and Willie lived. And you know they watched him very carefully. 10:13 And when he grew he was such a mischievous boy. He got into all 10:17 sorts of things. I'm sitting on a rocking chair and one day they 10:21 built a great big hole in the ground called a cistern and they 10:25 put all the water in there. But before the water was in there 10:29 there then men dug and Willie used to watch them. He used to 10:32 sit in his rocking chair right next to the well and he 10:36 watched them. Oh, he was so interested. And one day he saw 10:40 the heads getting lower and lower and lower as the hole got 10:43 deeper and deeper and deeper until he couldn't see them 10:46 anymore, they were so far under the ground. Boys and girls, he 10:52 rocked forward and he rocked back, he rocked forward once 10:54 once more and the whole rocking chair with Willie fell into it 10:58 and he went down Aaaaaa Daddy. And Daddy White heard it. 11:05 He came running out. He threw a piece of wood across the cistern 11:10 He jumped and held onto it and he dropped right to the bottom 11:14 of the cistern. And there was poor little Willie, upside down, 11:19 with the rocking chair on top of him. And they pulled him out. 11:24 Wow! He survived that. You know, he liked doing lots of things. 11:29 How many of you have chickens at home? A couple. He wanted 11:33 chickens and one day when Mommy, Ellen White, was away he bought 11:37 some chickens. And he had maybe 10 chickens and he put them in 11:43 little cage like that. Mommy had a dream. An angel spoke to her 11:50 and said, Look, your chicks are too close together. Let them out. 11:57 Let them have a good time. Now children, I've got some eggs 12:02 here and one egg is no good because this is an egg that is 12:07 formed in a cage full of chickens that cannot even move. 12:11 They can't even sit down and lay eggs because they're all 12:15 standing up and we don't have those eggs even 12:20 though you buy them in the super market. You buy the eggs that 12:25 Ellen told Willie how to make grow and they were free 12:30 range eggs where the chickens run around very happily 12:35 Hi boys and girls. Happy Sabbath Welcome to our Bible study. 12:39 If you haven't got your Bibles ready, go and get them now so 12:41 you can follow along with us. Auntie Cecily would you like to 12:43 say a prayer to open our study? 12:45 Yes. Dear heavenly Father, thank you for our Bibles. We pray that 12:50 you will help the boys and girls to understand the things that we 12:56 read in Your word. And we just pray that you would grant us to 13:01 have Jesus in our hearts as we study. 13:03 We pray in Jesus' name, Amen. 13:06 Amen. Today we're going to start looking at the book of Exodus. 13:09 Remember the last time that we met we went through the book of 13:13 Genesis? That was a big study wasn't it? And we left when 13:17 Joseph's entire family comes down to live in the land of 13:20 Egypt. Well Exodus, children at home, is the very next book 13:24 after Genesis. And we're going to continue our study to find 13:28 out what happened to the descendants of Joseph and his 13:32 family. And Elijah you're going to tell us from our Remnant 13:36 Young Scholar Study Bible who wrote the book of Exodus. 13:39 Ah, the book was written by Moses. 13:41 Moses. And did Moses write Genesis as well? Yes. 13:44 He did didn't he? Okay. All right. Ella you're going to do 13:48 our first reading for today and we are going to start in 13:52 Exodus 1:1. 13:55 Now these are the names of the children of Israel who came to 13:59 Egypt; each man and his household came with Jacob: 14:01 Rueben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin; 14:08 Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. All those who were descendants 14:15 of Jacob were seventy persons (for Joseph was in Egypt 14:19 already). And Joseph died, all his brothers, and that 14:23 generation. But the children of Israel were fruitful and 14:27 increased abundantly, multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty; 14:32 and the land was filled with them. 14:33 Mmm. So how many of Joseph's family came down to Egypt 14:38 during the famine? What did we just read? Seventy. There were 14:42 were seventy, I think, Ella just read, there were seventy. And in 14:46 verse 7 that Ella read said that they increased abundantly. We're 14:49 going to find out more about that later. Now Nick, you're 14:52 going to read our next verse, Exodus 1:8-14. 14:57 Now there arose a new king over Egypt who did not know Joseph 15:03 and he said to his people, Look the people of the children of 15:08 Israel are more and mightier than we. Come let us deal 15:12 shrewdly with them lest they multiply, lest they multiply, and 15:15 and it happen, in the event of war that they also join our 15:20 enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land. 15:25 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with 15:29 their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh supply cities, 15:33 Pithom and Raamses. But the more they afflicted them the more 15:38 they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the 15:41 children of Israel. So the Egyptians made the children of 15:45 Israel serve with rigor. And they made their lives bitter 15:49 with hard bondage-in mortar, in brick and in all manner of 15:53 service in the field. All their service in which they made them 15:58 serve was with rigor. 16:01 Mmm. So the new king chose not to recognize Joseph's now huge 16:06 extended family as a special people. Instead of being happy 16:10 for them to be in his country he feared them because he was 16:14 worried about their big numbers that they might make war against 16:19 him. But we just read that the king made the Israelites slaves 16:23 to build his cities. Do you think that's a good thing. No. 16:27 No. It would have been pretty horrible. Okay, Elijah, let's 16:30 read Exodus 1:15-21. 16:33 Then the King of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives of whom the 16:37 name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah; and he 16:42 said, When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew 16:45 women, and see them on the birth stools, if it is a son then you 16:48 shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, then she shall live. 16:52 But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt 16:56 commanded them, but saved the male children alive. So the king 17:00 called for the midwives and said to them, Why have you done this 17:03 thing and saved the male children alive? And the midwives 17:06 said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the 17:10 Egyptian women, for they are lively and give birth before the 17:13 midwives come to them. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives 17:17 and the people multiplied and grew very mighty. And so it was 17:21 because the midwives feared God that He provided households for 17:25 them. 17:27 Mmm. So the king's still worried He thought by making the 17:31 Israelites slaves and making them work really hard that they 17:34 wouldn't keep having children. But they still did and their 17:37 numbers grew. And he wanted the midwives who help the mothers 17:41 when they were having their babies to kill the baby boys. 17:44 That's pretty awful isn't it. Not a very nice thing. It was a 17:48 terrible thing the king wanted to do. But the midwives, those 17:51 beautiful brave midwives refused to do it and God blessed those 17:55 midwives for doing the right thing. And God blessed the 17:58 children of Israel and their numbers continued to grow. 18:03 Kate, you're going to read for us please Exodus 1:22. 18:07 So Pharaoh commanded all his people saying, Every son who is 18:11 born you shall cast into the river and every daughter you 18:14 shall save alive. 18:16 Oh no. Now the king, also known as the Pharaoh, wants all the 18:20 baby boys to be thrown into the Nile river. That's pretty awful 18:25 isn't it? What does it say about the baby girls though? 18:28 Yes they were able to live. That's pretty good isn't it? 18:33 Okay, so Ben can you please read Exodus 2:1-6. 18:39 And the man of the house of Levi went and took a wife, a daughter 18:43 of Levi. So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw 18:46 that he was a beautiful child, she hid him for three months. 18:49 But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of 18:53 bulrushes for him, filled it with asphalt and pitch, put 18:56 the child in it and laid it in the reeds by the river's bank. 19:00 And his sister stood afar off to know what would be done to 19:04 him. Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at 19:07 the river and her maidens walked alongside the river. And when 19:11 she saw the ark among the reeds she sent her maid to get it and 19:15 she opened it she saw the child and behold the baby wept so she 19:19 had compassion on him and said, This is one of the Hebrew 19:22 children. 19:23 So we find out later in the Bible that Moses' parents were 19:28 names Amram and Jochebed. And they decided not to let anyone 19:32 know that they had had a baby boy because what happened to 19:36 baby boys? 19:38 They'd be thrown into the river. But there is only so long you 19:42 can hide a baby boy. You've got a new baby boy haven't you Nick? 19:47 Yeah. Can they get a bit noisy? Yep. Yeah it can. 19:50 And Jochebed decided 19:52 to make a waterproof little boat and place Moses amongst the 19:56 reeds in the river bank. And who had to watch baby Moses? 20:00 His sister. His sister who we know later on to be Miriam. 20:04 And someone found Moses in that little boat. Who was it? 20:08 Pharaoh's daughter. 20:09 Pharaoh's daughter. You know God has a pretty good sense of 20:11 humor. You know he was the one that made the rule and his own 20:15 daughter saved the baby. That's pretty good isn't. God always 20:19 has a plan. I think that perhaps those angels guided the king's 20:23 daughter right to the spot where Moses was. Okay, now we're going 20:28 to go to the book of Hebrews because we're going to read our 20:30 memory verse and you've got it marked there in your Bibles. 20:34 So children at home, you go to Hebrews 11:23, which is in the 20:37 New Testament. And we're going to read a very special verse. 20:41 Okay, let's all read that together. 20:43 By faith Moses when he was born was hidden three months by his 20:49 parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child and they 20:55 were not afraid of the king's command. 20:58 Do you know, I think Moses' parents knew that God had a very 21:02 special job for their baby Moses to do when he grew up and by 21:06 complete faith they decided to keep him a secret so he wouldn't 21:11 be thrown in the river. At the peril of their own lives they 21:15 decided to take this great step of faith. Jochebed knew that 21:19 Moses had been preserved because God had a great work for him to 21:23 do. Jochebed also knew there would come a time when she would 21:26 have to give up Moses over to the princess to go live in the 21:30 palace. So Moses mother taught him as much as she could about 21:34 God and not to worship the idols that the Egyptians worshipped. 21:39 And when Moses was living in the palace. He was highly 21:41 educated to prepare him for leadership in the Egyptian court 21:48 So he was going to be an extremely important person. 21:50 And Ella you have an important verse to read for us in 21:53 Acts 7:22 21:55 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and 22:00 was mighty in words and deeds. 22:01 Wow. So Moses became a very great man. Let's continue to 22:06 read our Bibles and see what happens next. Aunt Cecily you're 22:09 going to read for us now. Exodus 2:11-15. 22:13 Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, 22:20 that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens and 22:26 he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. 22:30 So he looked this way and that way and when he saw no one, 22:35 he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. And when he 22:40 went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, 22:45 and he said to the one who did the wrong, why are you striking 22:50 your companion. Then he said, Who made you a prince and a 22:55 judge over us. Do you intend to kill me as you killed the 23:00 Egyptian? Do Moses feared and said Surely this thing is known. 23:06 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses 23:11 but Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land 23:16 of Midian and he sat down by a well. 23:20 Wow. So it sounds like things have drastically changed. Let's 23:23 look at our Torch Light, Mrs. White's writings, to see what 23:27 that shines on the verse for us to understand it more. Now Nick 23:30 you're going to read that for us this time at the bottom of our 23:32 Remnant Young Scholar Study Bible. Can you read that for us 23:35 please. 23:37 In slaying the Egyptian Moses 23:39 had fallen into the same error 23:41 so often committed by his fathers of taking into their own 23:45 hands the work that God had promised to do. It was not God's 23:50 will to deliver his people by warfare as Moses thought, but 23:55 by His own mighty power, that the glory might be ascribed to 23:59 Him alone. 24:01 Mmm. So Moses had made the same mistake just like Abraham and 24:06 Jacob before him of doing things his way instead of God's way. 24:10 We studied a lot about that last time didn't we? God was going 24:14 to deliver them from slavery, not Moses. God used this mistake 24:18 and turned into something good. God had many things he had to 24:22 teach Moses in the land of Midian. And Moses went from a 24:26 prince of Egypt living in a beautiful palace to a shepherd 24:30 dwelling in tents looking after sheep for the next 40 years. 24:34 That's a big change in your life isn't it. God had to teach him 24:38 to obey, be patient and not so angry. Moses had to learn to be 24:43 totally dependent on God and learn to do things God's way. 24:48 Thank you boys and girls for studying with us. Remember God 24:52 loves you very much. Even when you do wrong God still has a 24:55 plan for your life. We have a seven day devotional available 24:59 that expands on what we've studied today. Here's some 25:02 information about how you can access that. 25:06 Hi boys and girls. Like Auntie Nat said, you can go onto our 25:10 website to access our daily devotional at 25:13 www.adaywiththeking.com and while you're there you can 25:17 also check out Teddy's blog. He posted some really cool 25:21 photos about making the show. He also talks about it as well. 25:25 He even pictured about his visit to the rat. So _ 25:29 today. 25:31 The Sabbath's an opportunity for us to spend time getting to know 25:36 Jesus. One way to get to know Him is to read our Bibles. We 25:39 want to encourage you to read your Bibles, not only on the 25:43 Sabbath day but every day. Auntie Nat. What are we going 25:47 to study about next week? 25:49 Yes, next week we're going to study about how Moses had a very 25:53 important appointment with God. Children have a look in your 25:56 Bibles and see if you can work out what that is. Auntie 26:00 Cecily shall we go over our memory verse with the children 26:03 that we learned in our study today? 26:05 Yes shall we do that. Let's have a look at our board. 26:07 Hebrews 11:23- By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden 26:15 three months by his parents, because they saw he was a 26:19 beautiful child and they were not afraid of the king's 26:23 command. 26:26 Children, are you ready to sing our good bye blessing song to 26:30 the children at home. Okay, let's turn around so we can 26:34 do that. 26:37 ¤May God bless you and keep you and fill your heart with love¤ 26:52 ¤May God guide and protect you and watch you from above¤ 27:03 ¤As Sabbath after Sabbath we greet the day of rest¤ 27:13 ¤The day the King of glory has sanctified and blessed¤ 27:23 ¤Good bye my friend till we meet again¤ 27:29 ¤For another day with the King¤ 27:36 Bye, Good bye, see you next Sabbath. 27:40 ¤ ¤ |
