00:01 Hello there. Happy Sabbath.
00:03 Come on in. We're about to meet with the King. 00:05 ¤ ¤ 00:52 Hello. I'm Auntie Nat. It's great that you could all join 00:54 us to meet with the King. We're 00:55 about to open the Sabbath. Come 00:56 and join our worship time 00:58 together. Hello Auntie Cecily. It's just lovely to see you here 01:02 today. 01:03 It's great to be here Auntie Nat. 01:04 And hello children. It's wonderful that you're here 01:07 today as well to help us welcome the King for Sabbath. 01:11 Auntie Cecily, would you like to say a prayer please to open our 01:14 worship time. 01:15 Yes. Dear Father in heaven, thank you for all the blessings 01:19 that you have given us during the week. And thank you for the 01:23 Sabbath where we can come and rest in you. We just pray that 01:27 you would be with us during our worship time. 01:30 In Jesus' name, Amen. 01:32 Amen. Do you know that this is a great time to reflect on our 01:35 week and count the many blessings that God has sent us. 01:39 Now Shanae you have a blessing to tell us today. 01:41 Yes the blessing that I had this week was that it was my 01:45 birthday and I got a kitten for my birthday present. 01:50 Thank you for sharing that with us Shanae. That's a lovely 01:54 blessing. And Auntie Cecily you have a blessing for us as well. 01:57 Yes. Over the last six Sabbaths we've been discussing what God 02:03 is like. We've learned that God is our Deliverer, He is the I Am 02:08 He is holy and He's also compassionate or as we say God 02:13 cares about us. God's our Provider and God is Love. 02:19 And today I want to share with you that God is a God of order. 02:24 Later on we'll be studying how God spent 40 days and 40 nights 02:29 with Moses giving him some very detailed and careful 02:34 instructions. It was very important that Moses knew 02:38 exactly what God wanted because God is very particular. 02:43 You know he made the stars and the planets and the heavens and 02:47 the earth and He made you and me. And we've studied all about 02:51 that before in Genesis. Do you think that our bodies and the 02:55 way they are made are fairly complex? Yes they are. Only a 03:01 God of order and detail could do that. I Corinthians 14 tells 03:06 us that God is a God of peace, not confusion. There's no 03:10 confusion in anything that God does. Order and perfection are 03:16 seen in all His work. And when Jesus died and rose again in the 03:20 empty tomb that he had you know with his grave clothes, they 03:25 were neatly laid within. And John 27 tells us that Jesus 03:30 folder the wraps that covered Him. Even in Jesus' death and 03:35 resurrection He left an example of order. And Mrs. White tells 03:40 us about that in her book Desire of Ages. Who do you think causes 03:44 all the chaos and confusion in our world. Satan. Satan does, 03:50 that's right. So it's important to remember that our God is a 03:55 God of order. 03:57 Mmm. Praise the Lord. Thank you Auntie Cecily. Do you know 04:00 another way that we can celebrate the Sabbath is to 04:03 worship God in song. Pastor Rick has joined us again. Thanks 04:07 Pastor Rick. 04:09 Thanks Auntie Nat. Hello again. 04:10 Let's sing another song. What if 04:12 we sing When the Road is Rough and Steep? 04:17 ¤ ¤ Ready? 04:52 Try it again, eh. 05:22 Pastor Rick can we play Sing the Seventh, It's the Sabbath of 05:27 the Lord? 05:28 Yes, that's a wonderful song. Let's give it a try. 05:30 ¤ ¤ 06:13 Thanks Pastor Rick. Singing praises to God in song is such 06:17 an enjoyable part of our worship Dr. John was with us this week 06:22 sharing a blessing with us as well. So let's go and have a 06:26 look at that. 06:28 Hello boys and girls. My name is Dr. John Hammond. And we are 06:31 over at Sunnyside and we're about to leave and to do some 06:35 exploring and we're going to find something very, very 06:38 interesting. Just come with me and we'll go looking. Hello boys 06:47 and girls I'm so glad to be here and we are at Avondale College. 06:55 And this place was first established way back in 1897 and 07:02 Ellen White was living here and she supervised all the buildings 07:07 The first building was a hall, then they built the chapel. 07:11 And after 50 years some of the buildings were getting a little 07:16 bit old just like you would after 50 years. The paint was 07:21 fading and you know there wasn't enough room in the girls 07:25 dormitory to have all the students. And so they decided 07:30 to build another building and you are sitting in 07:34 this building. You know what? They didn't have enough money 07:37 and they got too old retired men and they said will you supervise 07:43 the building on this new dormitory. The bricks were so 07:47 hard to get that when they bought a load of bricks they had 07:50 to guard it all night in case somebody came and stole the 07:54 bricks because this was just after World War II and all the 07:58 soldiers had come home and they were all wanting to build houses 08:04 and you couldn't buy bricks anywhere. Well they got the 08:07 bricks going and this is all brick behind the plaster here 08:11 and the walls went up and they got to the second floor and the 08:15 walls went up further. And they got to the top floor and then 08:20 the building stopped because they needed wooden rafters to 08:25 finish the roof. And the college principle was looking at his 08:29 watch and he's saying, What time do you finish at night? Oh we 08:33 finish at five. Can you work a bit longer because the girls are 08:37 coming soon. And they said, Oh principal, we cannot work 08:41 because we hadn't got any timber Go and look everywhere. 08:47 Well they went, took every timber yard within 200 kilometer 08:51 circle of where you're sitting. And you know what they said? 08:56 Oh we're so sorry. We'd like to sell you the timber but we 09:00 haven't got any. They were so discouraged. And one day, they 09:04 went to one more place and there was the timber man and 09:07 there was the timber man. And they said, Can we buy some 09:11 timber. Yes, I'll sell you some timber. Come in. Oh, they were 09:15 so overjoyed. They were going to get the timber because the girls 09:19 were coming in a few weeks and they had to finish the roof. He 09:23 said, Now sign your name here and I will have that timber 09:29 ready for you (wait for this) two years from now. Oh. They 09:36 were so discouraged. They went out to the car. Their heads were 09:40 hung and an old man came out of the office. He trotted down 09:44 after them. He said, Excuse me. I heard you say Courenbong. Yes. 09:50 Are you from Courenbong. Yes. What are you doing? We're 09:54 building a new girls dormitory at the college. Oh, I used to 09:59 live in Courenbong and when I was a little boy, there was an 10:05 old lady now, was it Mrs. Black or Mrs. White. Ah, it was Mrs. 10:10 White and she used to bring us food because we didn't 10:13 have food in the house. 10:14 She brought us clothes. Is she still alive? And 10:18 Jeff and Will the two old men said, I'm sorry. She died 50 10:23 years ago. Well because she was so kind, I will get the timber 10:34 to your college. When? You will have that timber, when please? 10:42 Tomorrow. It arrived. And you know Will and Jeff, they thought 10:50 of a text in the Bible. It's a strange text in 10:53 Ecclesiastes 11 that said if you throw your bread on the water 10:59 after many days it'll come back to you and that means that if 11:03 you are kind to somebody and you forget all about it and many 11:08 years later you might get your reward. Now 50 years later they 11:12 got their reward and they just finished this building, just got 11:17 the roof up on time. And that is the story of Andre Hall and the 11:22 two men when you go outside, just outside that door there 11:27 there is a plaque on the wall and it is Mr. G. W. Richardson 11:32 and Pastor T. W. Hammond. He was real and he was my grandfather. 11:37 And he often used to tell me the story how God blessed this place 11:42 After 50 years, they cast their bread upon the water and it came 11:47 back to them. Thank you boys and girls. 11:50 Hi boys and girls. Happy Sabbath Welcome back to our Bible study. 11:54 I hope you know by now to have your Bibles ready so you can 11:57 read along with us. Come in and study with us. Sarah you have a 12:00 prayer for us. 12:02 Dear God, thank you for this time we're spending with you. 12:06 Thank you for our Bibles. Be with us now as we read your word 12:09 and help the children to grasp what they read. 12:11 In Jesus' name, Amen. 12:13 Amen. Now Sarah can you remember what we studied about last 12:16 Sabbath. 12:17 How Jesus gave the Israelites the 10 commandments. 12:19 Were they just for the Israelites? Who else 12:22 were they for? 12:24 They were for the whole world, for me and you. 12:26 That's right, they were weren't they? So we're going to begin 12:29 our study now. Nick can you please read Exodus 24:16-18. 12:36 Now the glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai and the cloud 12:41 six days and on the seventh day He called to Moses out of the 12:45 midst of the cloud. The sight of the glory of the Lord was like 12:49 consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the 12:53 children of Israel. So Moses went into the midst of the cloud 12:58 and went up into the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain 13:03 40 days and 40 nights. 13:06 Mmm. So in verse 16 it tells us that Moses had to wait for six 13:09 days on the mountain before he could go into the presence of 13:12 God. On the seventh day, the Sabbath, Moses went in to speak 13:16 with the Lord. This is before he spent 40 days and 40 nights with 13:21 God. So Moses was away from the encampment of the children 13:25 of Israel for around six and a half weeks. That's a long time 13:29 isn't it? I wonder why Moses had to wait six days to go in to be 13:34 the Lord. And Dean has our Torch Light to read and let's just see 13:38 what Mrs. White's writings shine on that verse for us. 13:41 Thanks Dean for reading that for us. 13:45 Even this favored servant of God 13:47 could not at once approach into 13:49 His presence and endure the exhibitions of his glory. 13:53 Six days must be employed in devoting himself to God by 13:57 searching of heart, meditation and prayer before you could be 14:00 prepared for direct communication with 14:03 his maker. Upon the seventh day, which was the Sabbath, Moses was 14:07 called up into the cloud. 14:09 Mmm. So God was preparing Moses to receive a very special 14:13 message from Him. Let's continue and see what that was. 14:18 Anna, you're going to read our next verse, Exodus 25:8-9. 14:24 And let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them. 14:29 According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the 14:33 tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, 14:35 just so you shall make it. 14:36 So God wanted them to build a sanctuary so God can come and 14:41 live among them. Another name for the sanctuary is the 14:44 tabernacle. Let's continue reading just to see what it's 14:49 all about. Ben can you read Exodus 25:10-11, 17-18 and 20-21 14:54 for us please. 14:56 And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half 15:00 cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width and 15:03 a cubit and a half its height. And you shall overlay it with 15:07 pure gold inside and out. You shall overlay it and shall make 15:12 on it a molding of gold all around. You shall make a mercy 15:15 seat of pure gold. Two and a half cubits shall be its length 15:19 and a cubit and a half its width and you shall make two cherubim 15:24 of gold of hammered work. You shall make them at the two ends 15:27 of the mercy seat. And the cherubim shall stretch out their 15:31 wings above covering the mercy seat with their wings and they 15:35 shall face one another. The faces of the cherubim shall be 15:38 toward the mercy seat. You shall put the mercy seat on top of the 15:42 ark and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give 15:45 you. Wow. Do you know that Auntie 15:48 Cecily has some very, very special things to show us. Can 15:52 you show us the ark of the covenant Auntie Cecily and 15:56 what's inside it? 15:57 I'll get Sarah to hold the ark. Would you like to take the lid 16:03 off? We've got the 10 commandments in stone 16:08 inside the ark. We've got the pot of manna and we've got 16:16 Aaron's rod that budded. 16:18 And we haven't spoken about that yet but we'll study about 16:20 Aaron's budded rod in the line of study. Thank you Auntie 16:24 Cecily. It's beautiful isn't it. It is. Thanks for showing us 16:29 that. Let's continue to read what else God reveals to Moses. 16:35 Sarah you've actually got our next reading in 16:37 Exodus 25:23-25 and 30. 16:42 You shall also make a table of acacia wood. Two cubits shall be 16:47 its length, a cubit its width and a cubit and a half its 16:52 height. And you shall overlay it with pure gold and make a 16:56 molding of gold all around. You shall make for it a frame of a 17:00 handbreadth all around and you shall make a gold molding for 17:04 the frame all around. And you shall set the showbread on the 17:08 table before me always. 17:10 So Aunt Cecily, can you show us the table of showbread. All gold 17:15 and beautiful too. That's lovely. 17:17 Ben you want to put that on the table? 17:20 Thank you Ben. Can you put that on the table so the children at 17:21 home can see. Nick can you please read Exodus 25:31-32. 17:28 You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand 17:35 shall be of hammered work. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, 17:40 its ornamental knobs and flowers shall be of one piece and six 17:45 branches shall come out of its sides. Three branches of the 17:49 lampstand out of one side and three branches of the lampstand 17:53 out of the other side. 17:54 Mmm. Sounds very beautiful. If we were to continue reading the 17:58 Bible it tells us it had almond blossoms carved all over it 18:02 which must have been stunning. Aunt Cecily can you show us that 18:07 Isn't that lovely. Now if we were to read Exodus 26 and part 18:13 of 27 God explains in detail how he wants the tabernacle and 18:18 outer curtains in the courtyards to be made. The detail is very, 18:22 very specific and we're going to study about that in a later 18:26 study, but we have a poster up here on the board and we have a 18:29 picture of what the sanctuary looks like. Okay, Dean 18:34 Exodus 27:1-2. You're going to read that for us. 18:39 You shall make an altar of acacia wood five cubits long and 18:46 five cubits wide. The altar shall be square and its height 18:51 shall be three cubits. You shall make its horns on its four 18:56 corners. It's horns shall be of one piece with it and you shall 19:01 overlay it with bronze. 19:03 Okay thanks Dean for that. This is the brazen altar. It's huge 19:08 isn't it. Must have been very heavy for them to carry through 19:12 the desert. But this is where they burnt the animals so this 19:17 would have had to fit a huge bull. That's very big isn't it? 19:22 We're going to talk a little bit more in a later study. Anna, 19:26 you're going to read our next verse: Exodus 28:2 and 4 and 19:30 this tells us what God wants the priests to wear. 19:33 And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother for glory 19:38 and for beauty. And these are the garments which they shall 19:42 make: a breastplate, an ephod, a robe, a skillfully woven tunic 19:47 a turban and a sash. So they shall make holy garments for 19:52 Aaron your brother and his sons that he may minister to me as 19:57 priest. Thanks Anna. Now again, we have 20:00 a picture up here on the board, just a picture there on the side 20:04 and it shows the priest wearing the garments, very, very 20:09 intricate. And if you were to continue reading chapter 28, it 20:15 would tell us in very much detail on how God wanted them 20:18 to be made. And we're going to talk a little bit more about 20:22 that another time. Now Ben, Exodus 30:1-3. 20:28 You shall make an altar to burn incense on it and you shall make 20:35 it out of acacia wood. A cubit shall be its length and a cubit 20:39 width. It shall be square and two cubits shall be its height. 20:44 Its horns shall be of one piece with it and you shall overlay 20:48 its top, its sides all around and its horns with pure gold. 20:52 And you shall make for it a molding of gold all around. 20:56 Thanks Ben. Now Auntie Cecily here has got the altar of 21:00 incense for us. Thanks Cecily. It's beautiful isn't it? 21:03 I hope you're seeing these at home children because they 21:07 really are magnificent pieces, lovely. Okay now this was a very 21:12 special piece of furniture and it's where God wanted something 21:17 specifically to be burnt on it. Sarah let's read that. 21:22 Exodus 30:34-36. 21:24 And the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha 21:32 and galbanum, and pure frankincense with these sweet 21:36 spices; there shall be equal amounts of each. You shall make 21:40 of these an incense, a compound according to the art of a 21:44 perfumer, salted, pure and holy. And you shall beat some of it 21:50 very fine and put some of it before the testimony in the 21:53 tabernacle of meeting where I will meet with you. It shall be 21:57 most holy to you. 22:00 Wow. So what we just read is a very special combination of 22:03 ingredients and it was to be used for God only. No one could 22:06 make it up for themselves and use it for their own personal 22:11 use. It was God's special recipe strict copyright. Okay, Ella 22:17 you've got our next reading to read. Exodus 30:17-19 please. 22:22 Then the Lord spoke to Moses to say: You shall also make a laver 22:27 of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall 22:31 put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. You shall 22:35 put water in it, for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands 22:39 and their feet in the water from it. 22:42 Okay, now Aunt Cecily has a beautiful bronze laver. Thank 22:46 you Aunt Cecily. Now God wanted to remind the children of Israel 22:50 of something. Let's read our memory verse that's found in 22:54 Exodus 31:13. Let's read that together. 23:00 Speak also to the children of Israel saying: Surely my 23:06 Sabbaths you shall keep for it is a sign between me and you 23:11 throughout your generations that you may know that I am the Lord 23:17 who sanctifies you. 23:18 So God is giving Moses the instructions again to keep the 23:23 Sabbath just in case the Israelites thought it was okay to 23:27 build the sanctuary on the Sabbath. God didn't want them 23:30 to build His house on the Sabbath. Okay Nick, 23:33 Exodus 31:18 please. Can you read that? 23:37 And when he had made an end of speaking with him on Mount 23:42 Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the testimony, tablets of 23:47 stone written with the finger of God. 23:52 So God has written the 10 commandments on stone with His 23:54 own finger so that they'll have them forever as a memorial and 23:58 as we've studied they were placed in the ark of the 24:01 covenant just like Auntie Cecily showed you at the beginning. 24:05 Thank you boys and girls for joining us today in reading the 24:08 word. This Bible study today shows us we serve an amazing 24:12 God. God loved the children of Israel so much that he wanted 24:15 to dwell among them in a beautiful place called the 24:18 sanctuary. We have a seven day devotional available which 24:21 focuses more in depth on what we have learnt today. Here is 24:24 how you can access it. 24:26 Hey boys and girls, like Auntie Nat said you can go onto our 24:30 website to access our daily devotionals at 24:34 www.adaywiththeking.com and while you're there you can 24:37 also check out Teddy's blog. He's posted some really cool 24:41 photos of us making the show. He also talks about it as well. 24:45 He even posted about his visit to the vet. So hop online today. 24:50 When we keep the Sabbath, we get to know God better and 24:54 realize how much He wants to build a relationship with us. 24:57 One way to strengthen your relationship with the Lord is to 25:01 read and study your Bibles. We want to encourage you to read 25:04 your Bibles not only on the Sabbath day but every day. 25:08 Auntie Nat can you please tell us what we're going to study 25:11 about next week? 25:14 Sure. Because today's lesson was so detailed we're going to 25:17 learn more about the sanctuary in a later lesson, but next week 25:20 we're going to see and we're going to read and study about 25:23 what happens when a promise is broken. Please don't miss next 25:27 week. It's a very important study. Aunt Cecily will we go 25:30 over our memory verse that we learnt in our study today? 25:33 Yes. Children are you ready to do that? Let's read it together. 25:39 Exodus 31:13- Speak also to the children of Israel saying: 25:45 Surely my Sabbaths you shall keep for it is a sign between me 25:51 and you throughout your generations that you may know 25:56 that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. 26:00 Children let's sing our blessing song to the boys and girls at 26:04 home. Can you turn around? 26:08 ¤May God bless you and keep you and fill your heart with love¤ 26:26 ¤May God guide and protect you and watch you from above¤ 26:36 ¤And Sabbath after Sabbath we greet the day of rest¤ 26:47 ¤The day the King of glory has sanctified and blessed¤ 26:57 ¤Good bye my friend till we meet again¤ 27:02 ¤For another day with the King¤ 27:07 Good bye, good bye. See you next Sabbath. 27:12 ¤ ¤ |
